With the introduction of Conscription in the 1960s, it was realised that Australia's defence forces would now have access to a wider pool of talented men, other than those that normally volunteer for service.Major Jack Roberts was tasked by the defence department to form a small group from the National Servicemen to take on some unique tasks.He chose three young men that had shown signs of being able to work with anyone from different backgrounds or ethnic groups.These three men were a Christian, a Jew and a Moslem.After being whisked away from their regiment, as it sailed for Vietnam, they were taken to an isolated island and underwent their unique training. When their special training had been completed, they joined the war as intelligence observers. It did not take them long to discover that some of its allies were not being as ethical as they should be. In fact, some of them were actually involved in criminal activities. Because the Australian Government needed to be sure that no Australians were involved, they immediately directed the group to seek out Corruption, Criminal activity and Human rights violations from all sources (including allied forces). They developed into a unique force that as well as reporting on corruption, was soon to give assistance to refugeesTheir activities came to the attention of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, along with the Human Rights High Commission.

Gordon Smith is the medium's medium who outstanding gifts are recognised by prominent sceptics and which have been tested in laboratory conditions at Glasgow University, with astonishing results.

But usually when we try to assess the claims of psychics and mediums or evidence of supernatural phenomena we are examining events taking place outside the controlled conditions of the scientific laboratory. In this new book Gordon Smith argues that most suitable standards we can apply when trying to decide whether or not it is reasonable to believe such claims are the same standards we usually use to assess disputes in human affairs - the standards of the law court.

As a leading medium Gordon Smith is part of an 'apostolic succession' of mediums that goes back through famous mediums like Albert Best, Helen Duncan and DD Hume to the start of Spiritualism modern times in American in the mid nineteenth century. In this book he examines the historical evidence, admitting fraud where he finds it, but showing that great weight of testimony proves the reality of these supernatural and spiritual phenomena 'beyond reasonable doubt'.

As leading barrister Maria Ahern writes in her foreword: 'I have assessed the evidence in this book. Just as I would in a trial. There is credible evidence from various unconnected sources all giving evidence that points the same way. The evidence has been collated by a credible source; Gordon Smith is widely acknowledged as a gifted medium and has provided many with evidence of one of life's great unanswered questions'. She advises the reader: 'Look at the evidence, assess it fairly, allow for any sensible and appropriate doubt and reach your verdict'.

World-famous medium Gordon Smith is well known for giving powerful messages from people's loved ones on the other side. Very often it's not just human friends and family who come through - the animals who have been close to us in life also continue to visit us after death.

In this extraordinary book, Gordon recounts some of the remarkable experiences that people have had with animals in the spirit world and in our world. They include moving accounts of dogs who know intuitively when their owners are coming home, pets who saved their owners' lives and animals who have found ways of proving they are still with their families after death.

Throughout the book, Gordon shares his own experiences with his springer spaniel 'Cheeky' Charlie, who came into his life unexpectedly, completely overturning it and showing Gordon the beauty of trust, patience and unconditional love.Through these amazing stories, Gordon shows just how deeply animals care for their human families and the profound understanding they have of the world around them.

Conversations with No-One is a collection of poems which trace the journey of one man, beginning in the seminary yet leading irrevocably into the worlds of neuroscience, quantum mechanics and genetics. It recounts a desperate search for personal meaning and purpose which turned into a three-decade long conversation with our humanity, from Gilgamesh's search for immortality to Milo Wolff's theory of the wave structure of matter. It reflects upon a journey through the wonder and horror of human existence, listening to the stories as they wrote our history, listening to the authors as they grappled with what it meant to be alive and conscious, to hear ourselves searching for answers to the questions which burned in our hearts and minds, to marvel at our remarkable ontology.
Conversations with No-One is a poetic, theological redaction of our self-apprehension informed by modern science, a view which challenges the very foundation of our cultural identity yet is in complete harmony with it. It is an invitation to 'religare', to go over again, and a reaffirmation of the ancient maxim 'nosce te ipsum' - to know yourself.

An engaging plot of love and life we follow Joan's most renewing encounters from her mid-sixties up into her early nineties. We learn that love for life doesn't have to die before we do and that women certainly don't diminish with age.Joan had expected her retirement to be fairly straightforward. She had always associated the word, to retire something, as putting it out of harm's way, out of reach from the rest of the world for the rest of its time on earth. She rather relished in ideas of this isolation, associating it with the effortless simplicity of relaxation. So, undoubtedly, it came as quite a surprise when things didn't go to plan. With the premature death of her husband, Phil, so early-on into her retirement Joan packed up the family home and moved everything she owned into a retirement village on the coast, intending on living the rest of her days on earth like a ghost, well and truly forgotten by everyone else. Well and truly retired. She had expected to give up, living day by day eating cups of liquid pudding and reading old books. What she hadn't expected was to meet a string of distinguishing people in that very place that would make giving up a little more difficult than she had planned. From a retired nun, a Hollywood producer or a series of prudent friends that would later become wistful lovers. These compelling encounters help Joan to reclaim an appetite for passions she hadn't allowed herself to think about in decades. Joan's life in retirement will be anything other than straightforward.
