John Wilson, am bekanntesten unter dem Pseudonym Christopher North, war ein schottischer Anwalt, Literaturkritiker und Autor. Er war Professor für Moralphilosophie an der Universität Edinburgh. Seine Schriften werden häufig mit dem Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine in Verbindung gebracht. Wilson befasste sich in seinem Werk mit Literaturkritik und philosophischer Untersuchung.
Wie können wir lieben, wenn wir keine einigermaßen klare Vorstellung davon haben, was Liebe ist? John Wilson nähert sich dem Phänomen Liebe vom Standpunkt der analytischen Philosophie. Er bemüht sich um eine Klärung der relevanten Vorstellungen und Begriffe, die wir mit Liebe in Verbindung bringen. Er legt dar, daß wahre Liebe letztlich auf einer einzigen Grundhaltung beruht, auch wenn man unterschiedliche Aspekte dieser Haltung beschreiben oder analysieren kann.
In plain language, this book tells you how to manage your grief following a life changing loss. It tells you what to expect in the coming weeks, months and years. Your grief is unique. Nobody has ever grieved like you are doing, so this is a guide to support you in your journey, not a method for you to follow. If you are reading this because you are grieving a loss, then most likely a person close to you has died. However, this book can help with other difficult losses. Loss of a job, of health, of a friendship or an intimate relationship, are just some of the losses that we grieve. 'Loved one' can refer to a pet too.The plain and simple language of the book is important when your loss is new. Grief makes it hard to concentrate, so this book uses simple words, short sentences and not too many words on a page.The author, Dr John Wilson, has supported hundreds of grieving people over the past twenty years, and continues to research how people grieve. This book is based on the real experience of grieving people whose stories have been made anonymous. Dr Wilson is author of 'Supporting People through Loss and Grief: An introduction for Counsellors and Other Caring Practitioners.' Published in 2013, it is often used to train bereavement counsellors and volunteers in bereavement support.This edition includes a chapter on bereavement from and during the Covid-19 pandemic.

This book is a professional military-intelligence officer's and a controversial insider's view of some of the greatest intelligence blunders of recent history. It includes the serious developments in government misuse of intelligence in the recent war with Iraq. Colonel John Hughes-Wilson analyses not just the events that conspire to cause disaster, but why crucial intelligence is so often ignored, misunderstood or spun by politicians and seasoned generals alike. This book analyses: how Hitler's intelligence staff misled him in a bid to outfox their Nazi Party rivals; the bureaucratic bungling behind Pearl Harbor; how in-fighting within American intelligence ensured they were taken off guard by the Viet Cong's 1968 Tet Offensive; how over confidence, political interference and deception facilitated Egypt and Syria's 1973 surprise attack on Israel; why a handful of marines and a London taxicab were all Britain had to defend the Falklands; the mistaken intelligence that allowed Saddam Hussein to remain in power until the second Iraq War of 2003; the truth behind the US failure to run a terrorist warning system before the 9/11 WTC bombing; and how governments are increasingly pressurising intelligence agencies to 'spin' the party-political line.
