Book Description
It is the middle of summer and a group of British holidaymakers are embarking on a two-week whistle-stop coach tour of Western Europe under the dubious auspices of ‘Conn Tours’ Coach Holidays. Among the group are Frank and Joyce. They are not used to holidaying abroad and now that Frank has retired, Joyce is not sure how, or indeed if, she will cope with his obsessions, his bad temper and his weak bladder. Then, there are Dave and Susan. Dave enjoys everything to excess, especially food and alcohol, apart from sex. Susan, for her part, is starting to have some strange and uncomfortable fantasies. Student, Barbara, released from the stifling shackles of life at home is determined to enjoy every minute of her holiday, both inside and outside the hotel bedroom. Julia and Trevor are recently married (the second time for Julia) and Trevor is looking forward to a romantic holiday – he is lovesick. Julia, on the other hand, is just homesick. As the tour gets underway, it is increasingly beset by problems, delays, accidents and incompetence and Miranda, the “tour Director”, who clearly has issues of her own, begins to lose control. As problems pile up, the frustrations increase and members of the group face some increasingly difficult decisions about what they need to do to salvage their holiday and their relationships

Infinite in All Directions
Author: Freeman J. Dyson
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 9780060728892
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
Infinite in All Directions is a popularized science at its best. In Dyson's view, science and religion are two windows through which we can look out at the world around us. The book is a revised version of a series of the Gifford Lectures under the title "In Praise of Diversity" given at Aberdeen, Scotland. They allowed Dyson the license to express everything in the universe, which he divided into two parts in polished prose: focusing on the diversity of the natural world as the first, and the diversity of human reactions as the second half. Chapter 1 is a brief explanation of Dyson's attitudes toward religion and science. Chapter 2 is a one–hour tour of the universe that emphasizes the diversity of viewpoints from which the universe can be encountered as well as the diversity of objects which it contains. Chapter 3 is concerned with the history of science and describes two contrasting styles in science: one welcoming diversity and the other deploring it. He uses the cities of Manchester and Athens as symbols of these two ways of approaching science. Chapter 4, concerned with the origin of life, describes the ideas of six illustrious scientists who have struggled to understand the nature of life from various points of view. Chapter 5 continues the discussion of the nature and evolution of life. The question of why life characteristically tends toward extremes of diversity remains central in all attempts to understand life's place in the universe. Chapter 6 is an exercise in eschatology, trying to define possible futures for life and for the universe, from here to infinity. In this chapter, Dyson crosses the border between science and science fiction and he frames his speculations in a slightly theological context.
