'The Operators' lifts the veil shrouding Britain's most secret military unit. Officially designated as 14 Intelligence Company,it was formed in 1974 to combat terrorism in Northern Ireland. If Ian Fleming's 'James Bond' exists anywhere today,he is to be found within the ranks of 14 Company.Highly trained in skills including lock- picking,advanced weapon handling,covert surveillance and infra-red photography,a typical 'Operator' has at his or her disposal an arsenal of techniques and weapons unmatched in any other theatre.No other UK government or military agency is so comprehensively trained,armed and equipped to undertake individually,or in highly flexible teams,the wide variety of covert intelligence gathering tasks that are required by a democracy in pursuit of a terrorist. As a precaution against capture,Operators never learn the true identity of any of their colleagues.Male and female volunteers are drawn from all ranks of the three services,The selection process and subsequent training course are the most physically, intellectually and emotionally demanding anywhere in the world. Every single day of each year for the past twenty-one years,14 Company Operators have been deployed on operations against Republican and Loyalist terrorism in Northern Ireland.This is the true story of one Operator and of some of the most hair-raising military operations ever conducted in the streets of the United Kingdom.

Fine. Survival Plan for Parents in the Separation/Divorce Process - An Information Booklet, 5, Used; Very Good. Descartes' Error: Emotion, Reason, and the Human Brain is a book by neurologist Antonio R. Damasio, in which the author presents the argument that emotion and reason are not separate but, in fact, are quite dependent upon one another. Damasio argues that the body is the genesis of thought. The philosopher René Descartes developed a method of reasoning based on the indisputable observation that if we think, we must exist. However, Damasio examines the physiological processes that contribute to the functioning of the mind and therefore proposes the idea that thinking is inherent to a body in which no spirit exists. Descartes' "error" was the dualist separation of mind and body, and the artificial dichotomy between rationality and emotion. One of Damasio's key points is that rationality does not function without emotional input. Damasio explores in depth the famous case of Phineas Gage. While Gage's intelligence remained intact after his brain was damaged in an 1848 accident, Damasio believes that Gage's ability to reason and make rational decisions became severely handicapped because his emotions could no longer be engaged in the process. Damasio uses this and other brain-damage cases to develop his thesis on emotion and its relationship to human activity. He argues that rationality stems from our emotions, and that our emotions stem from our bodily senses. The state of the mind, or feeling, is merely a reflection of the state of the body, and feeling is an indispensable ingredient of rational thought. . 1994. BOOK CLUB EDITION.., 1994, 3<
