`My aim in writing this book has been a simple one: to enable readers to learn the basic details about the most important men and women in English history and how and why their contributions deserve to be remembered. Some of the people in this book are far less well-known that they ought to be, thanks to the prejudices and bigotry of many commentators. I hope that even ardent historians will find surprises here and that when you have finished reading about my 100 heroes you will know, and understand, a great deal more about England, English history and the people who made England great. ...

Over 30 years ago, in 1978, Dr Vernon Coleman wrote the first popular book on stress. Years later (in 1991) he realised that much of the stress to which we are exposed is part of our modern society - and cannot be managed with the usual stress control techniques. He invented the phrase 'toxic stress' to define this type of stress. He wrote 'Toxic Stress' to explain just how and why 'toxic stress' makes us ill and how it is different to ordinary stress. Toxic stress causes or exacerbates 90 per cent of all illness. This revised and updated edition shows how you can deal with it. Sunday Times...

`Revolt' by Vernon Coleman is the future story of life in Britain under a totalitarian regime run by overlords from Brussels - who are known as "sprouts". It is based on a true story which hasn't happened yet. It was originally published under the pseudonym Robina Hood (partly because it is quite unlike any of Vernon Coleman's other books). Rod Liddle devoted a whole page in The Spectator magazine to trying to work out the identity of the author. He got nowhere close! Many readers love the book: `I enjoyed reading Revolt. I fear that much of the book may come true.' Nigel Farage MEP. `...

The fifth book in Vernon Coleman's bestselling series of diaries. Not for the faint hearted or the politically correct. Nothing like the Bilbury books.

Definitely not recommended to those who found the others in the series too rich for their taste. Vernon Coleman is a qualified doctor but has been a professional author for over 30 years. He has written over 100 books which have sold over two million ...

The 6th volume of Vernon Coleman's diaries. Nothing like the Bilbury books. Contains nothing whatsoever about Gloucester Cathedral, embroidery or train spotting.

Read why Vernon paid £2,500 to have the grass cut and sold a car for little more than half ...
