WHAT WE SAY

What a wonderful idea for Fathers Day.  There are so many great ideas here surrounding key dates but the obvious one that comes to mind is a coin from the year children are born.  There are some great options where you can actually add multiple coins so one for each of the years the children were born in keyring and necklace variations.  We have been sent the 70 year old lucky sixpence from 1953 (the year my dad was born).  It came beautifully presented in a locely black box and the coin is as you would expect beautiful polished and encased in a gorgeous gold surround and keyring.  We are super impressed with the beautiful presentation and quality and the sentiment behind the coin too.  A great price too and we will certainly be keeping these in mind for future.

RRP varies however coins start from around £25.00

FOR THE DADS WHO LOVE A GOOD READ

The Secrets of Life series is written for everyone who, frankly, needs a spot of cheering up, and will provide conversation starters for years after reading! O’Connor’s easy-going, conversational style brings an outsider’s questioning eye to the great forces behind life.

Book 1 – How Did Life End Up With Us? The first book in the four-part series contends that if we set received wisdom to one side and really dig into the facts, there are actually very few ‘secrets’ in life. Instead, suggesting it’s possible to see that from the split second of Big Bang, right up to our present attempts to make the world a better place, everything 

that’s alive has been trying to find strategies to survive the iron Laws of Thermodynamics, to work together to make more from less, and to overcome the constant threat of destructive, entropic forces. How Did Life End Up With Us? delves into explanations as to the reasons behind why cooperation is the strongest force in life, and why altruism is the proof for the ‘gene-based theory of evolution’. O’Connor reveals that from the point that life first sparked off some 3.8 billion years ago, every living thing has descended from the original cell by taking blind mutational and genetic ‘decisions’.

Through The Secrets of Life series, aimed at general readers like himself, O’Connor recognises that life may appear as an endless and violent conflict, yet under the obvious requirement to take one another’s 

energy, there’s always been a deeper current that’s driving living things to higher and higher levels of cooperation. In other words, the future isn’t quite as bleak as you may believe!

Book 2 – How Did We Get To Be So Different?

The second book in the four-part series debates the steps that led to us being so completely different to anything that had ever appeared before. If we really were just another kind of animal off the production line of life, then what were the revolutions that turbo-charged our abilities? How is it possible that we only arrived a fluttering of an eyelash ago compared to evolutionary time, yet we are now so completely dominant over everything else in life. Book Two also sets out to answer the questions around what we did that meant we could alter ourselves in an instant, and so avoid being stuck in an evolutionary niche like every other organism. 

Why, for example, was it such a huge step forward when we began to run? Why was the taming of fire arguably the most important thing we ever did? How did we manage to create the intelligence and insights that allowed us to make our own life decisions? Why was gossiping so critical. With the same writing approach that typified Book One, in How Did We Get To Be So Different? O’Connor sets out to answer these and other questions by summarising the views of the great biologists, anthropologists, and evolutionary theorists —and then adding some opinions of his own. 

Book 3 – Why Do We All Behave In The Way We Do? 

The third in the four-part series explains how game theory developed, and why it came to show us not only how humans arrive at their decisions, but why so much of the apparently bizarre behaviour of the 

natural world has the same mathematical logic to it. Instead of the confusion and chaos one might expect in life, O’Connor shows that there are profound reasons behind the choices organisms make when they interact, and how we humans refined this process through the addition of our intelligence and language skills. Starting with the mind-blowing new ways of thinking that Adam Smith opened the world’s eyes to, the 

book progresses to the 20th century—and shows how there’s a coherent rationale behind our thought processes—and how this was gradually revealed by scientists at a time when the very future of the world 

was at stake. As O’Connor unfolds the story in Why Do We All Behave In The Way We Do?, it becomes ever clearer how cooperation has evolved to be the critical force at every level of life. It was what built our 

world, and it would settle so deeply into the hardwiring of living things that it would eventually become instinctive and innate in us. Perhaps most pleasingly, game theory explains how the benefits of collaboration are bound to ratchet upwards—and how this will inevitably lead to ever-increasing levels of moral behaviour in our societies. It is so often an accepted fact that bad people will win. And yet, as Book Three so clearly explains, collaborative societies are bound to grow, that it’s rational to forgive to overcome vendettas and feuds, and that nice folks will always win in life by coming second.

Book 4 – So What Does It All Mean? (May 2023)

The final in the four-part series shows what the theories, research and science all add up to. It examines the evidence that illustrates how wrong most people in thinking the world is descending into darkness and chaos, and shows instead that it’s actually improving at an astonishing rate. This explains, the author says, why in spite of the constant challenges our world faces, the human race is actually improving by the day, rather than becoming worse. Book Four points out that many people say that humans are the ultimate triumph for the selfish gene, yet we’ve now developed to the point where we can choose to overrule so many of its instructions. As the facts about the world’s population, its life expectancies, birth rates, poverty, food security, violence, natural disasters, energy, climate and all the other major indicators are laid out in So What 

Does It All Mean?, it becomes ever clearer that the results of our evolution should give us reasons for optimism, not despair. The Secrets of Life series concludes by showing us why we are often wrong in our view of each other, why we’re becoming ever happier and more moral, and why we’re so frequently mistaken in our views about the future.

Yes, it concludes, life does have a meaning, it does have an arc of evolution, non-zero cooperation is what makes things win… and that includes us humans.

Brexit Unmasked – Albert Kemp

Genres: Political

Nobody should have any illusions about the scale of the deceit that was practiced upon an unsuspecting British public during the 2016 referendum campaign, nor should anyone underestimate the extent of the damage that Brexit has caused, and will continue to cause for as long as it exists, to our country and its people. However, the beliefs and attitudes that brought about this calamity run much deeper, and stem primarily from the inability of many of our national leaders and much of our national media to recognise and adapt to the UK's changing position during the post-World War Two era. These are the people and organisations that are mainly responsible for informing public opinion. Regrettably however, with certain honourable exceptions, they have frequently failed to provide sensible advice to the general public. In turn, these omissions and follies led eventually to the catastrophe that is Brexit.
