Extracts
from reviews of Jannaway's Mutiny
MID WEST BOOK REVIEW:
"...a vivid and totally engaging
story that grips the reader's attention from first page to last. Highly
recommended reading and a welcome addition to a community library's fiction
shelf, Jannaway's Mutiny is a deftly
written action/adventure historical novel that will linger in the reader's mind
long after the book is placed back upon the shelf."
AMAZON:
*****"A masterful work of
historical fiction … a wonderfully human story … reveals a great deal about
class consciousness and society in early-20th century England. Charles Gidley
Wheeler has really given us a fabulous work of historical fiction here, and I
give Jannaway's Mutiny nothing less
than my highest recommendation." — Daniel Jolley.
AMAZON:
*****"Fans of historical fiction
in general and military fiction in particular should definitely give this one a
once through." - Jeffrey Leach.

****"...the history of the
mutiny is fascinating." - Orrin Judd
NAVAL-HISTORY.NET:
"Hard-to-put-down and often
moving novel by ex-serving RN officer, "Jannaway's Mutiny" is the
story of the 1931 Invergordon Mutiny. But more than that it
provides a well-researched link from the Edwardian Navy through WW1 to the Navy
of WW2." - Gordon Smith

Headmaster, University College School, London
PROFESSOR D.M. KNIGHT,

idea of using his own course in philosophy as a framework for an introduction
to the discipline, and has written an accessible and lively book getting across
his own particular enthusiasm for Spinoza.”— David M. Knight, MA, DPhil,

illumination and application of philosophical principles seen through our
current historical lens.”— Brad Schreiber

*****"Most helpful
guided tour of Western philosophy.
By reading this book [...] I've flown
over the river of great philosophical ideas, developed a much better
appreciation for the length and depth of the philosophical waters, and spotted
a number of fascinating little landmarks I want to go back and explore further.
Wheeler starts by introducing the big themes of philosophical thought:
knowledge, ethics, logic, science, and God. He then sets out to show you how
the ideas and arguments about these important subjects and themes have changed
over time. On the way, you get a short introduction to some of the more
prominent thinkers: Descartes, Spinoza, Kant, Schopenhauer, and the like. The
contributions of lesser-known men (such as the exceedingly fascinating
Wittgenstein) are also introduced and fleshed out a little bit. Eventually,
Wheeler explains the basics of modern thought systems with such intimidating
names as hermeneutics, phenomenology, structuralism, metaphysics, and
existentialism. I must admit it feels good to actually have a handle on the
meaning behind these scary names. Different readers will take different things
away from this book. Many of the details probably won't stay with me for very
long, but the overall perspective I have gained will. Philosophical arguments
have gotten more complex over time, but modern thinkers really are still
debating the very issues of ancient
