Produktbeschreibung
William Gascoyne was only a child when he was sent away from home to serve an apprenticeship with a stonemason in 19th century London. There, he develops a reputation as a capable craftsman and establishes important connections with renowned architects before joining family who had settled in the Victorian town of Royal Leamington Spa. Learn how developers influenced the growth of this town and how William became a significant figure in its business, political and social life. All within the context of significant political, religious and industrial events of the period. Evidence of William's building company survives in houses, ecclesiastical and public buildings which can still be seen today in Leamington Spa, Beckenham and other towns. This is a fictional story, based on historical facts.
Autorenporträt
Kevin Hunt is a chartered physiotherapist with 25 years' clinical experience working with people suffering from persistent pain. He has worked with patients who have sustained multiple injuries in major accidents as well as elite athletes competing at the national and international level. He grew up in Sligo in the Republic of Ireland, completed his BSc Physiotherapy in University College Dublin, Ireland and earned a Master in Sports & Exercise Medicine in Nottingham, UK. He runs The Spinal Physiotherapy & Sports Medicine Clinic in Cambridge, UK. He lives with his wife and two children, writes songs, plays golf and hikes mountains. The reason he wrote the book he explains:"In my clinical practice over the last 25 years I have come to understand that pain is a protective system trying to guide and mentor us to sustainable health and wellbeing. Unfortunately the majority of people fear pain and often end up with unhelpful behaviours, inadequate treatments and deteriorating quality of life. With this book I hope to change peoples attitude towards pain and help those suffering with persistent pain to understand how pain works, why it behaves the way it does and how they can use pain as a mentor towards a better, more sustainable quality of life".
