'a book you simply must read if you’re a fan of movies, James Bond or Roger Moore’ - Movies in Focus‘Owen writes with wit, affection and poignancy . . . Highly recommended’ - From Sweden with Love‘a breezy, enjoyable read that takes few sittings to get through . . . The affection and energy with which Raising an Eyebrow has been written is intoxicating’ - Entertainment FocusHaving taken on the role of Roger Moore’s executive assistant in 2002, Gareth Owen became the righthand man to an icon, as well as his co-author, onstage co-star and confidant. Gareth was faithfully at Roger’s side for fifteen years until his passing in 2017.In Raising an Eyebrow, Gareth Owen recounts his times with Roger Moore and gives a unique and rare insight into life with one of the world’s most beloved actors.For all his celebrity, Roger Moore was quite reserved; in interviews he rarely spoke about himself, much preferring to tell fun tales about others. But his trusted sidekick was with him throughout his worldwide travels, his UK stage shows, his writing process and his book tours, and as he received his Knighthood. There were genuinely hilarious, heartfelt and extraordinary moments to be captured and Gareth Owen was there to share them all.

In the shadow of a failed international intervention in Somalia, Gareth Owen lands in war-torn Angola, thrust into a besieged city teetering on the brink. Malanje, encircled by UNITA rebels deploying medieval tactics, becomes ground zero for a crack team of Irish aid workers fighting to stave off starvation for tens of thousands of children. Amid mortar fire and minefields, Owen bears witness to haunting violence and unwavering human spirit. His eight-month emotional descent unfolds as a complex tapestry of deep camaraderie, visceral fear, and the painful reckoning of his own privilege. At the heart lies a brutal legacy —colonial plunder and Cold War complicity – tempered with the inspirational humanitarian ethics of a bygone era. Three decades later, Owen’s story resurfaces—raw and unflinching. Unhealed Wounds interrogates the mythology of white saviourism, sheds light on forgotten lives and demands remembrance in an age of eroding global solidarity. Powerful and evocative, this memoir invites readers to urgently contemplate what has been lost from the true embodiment of humanity’s collective cause: connection between and respect for all peoples. Far more than a personal account, it is a searing moral reckoning for our divisive contemporary times of eroding internationalism and encroaching global catastrophe.

This volume serves as an invaluable resource, offering thoroughly analysed, evaluated, and distilled information on the latest advancements in organometallic and coordination chemistry, as well as emerging fields. With the ever-growing volume of information, researchers often struggle to stay current with the literature in their domain.The expertly curated reviews in this volume cover a broad range of topics, including applications of green chemistry principles in olefin metathesis, chiral-at-metal centre complexes, trifluoromethyl-selenolation reactions, multifunctional M2L4-type capsule macrocycles, 2,6-dihydrazinylpyridine-based metal complexes, synthesis and catalytic applications of palladium pincer complexes of organoselenium ligands, palladium-catalysed carbonylation of alkenes, cyclopentadienyl iron–selenium complexes, ferrocene-based supramolecular gels, Schiff base–rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes and organometallic precursor development for the growth of metal films.All author contributions in this volume have a direct link to the research of Distinguished Professor John A. Gladysz, with contributors who have either worked in his group or have collaborated with him. This volume can and should be considered an essential reference for researchers in both academic and industrial settings.

Compiled by a new editorial team, this volume provides an invaluable resource covering many aspects of organometallic and coordination chemistry. The book has been developed through contributions from future leaders in organometallic chemistry at the forefront of their research. With continued increases and expansion of chemical literature, researchers can find it challenging to keep up with recent developments. The volume provides a comprehensive overview of emerging themes and key developments in the field. The reviews in this volume reflect current interests and range in scope from the application of heterobimetallic complexes in catalysis, to progress in dinitrogen functionalisation, the role of Lewis acids in Ni-catalysis, hydrogenation of CO2, and the photo-induced activity of main group metals and metalloids. It also includes computational strategies for modelling excited states in organometallic chemistry. This volume is a key reference for researchers in academic and industrial settings.

In 1993, Gareth Owen volunteered to go to Somalia with an Irish aid agency.Located in a remote desert outpost, he encountered the brutality of conflict and famine and experienced the hardships and struggles of an extraordinary race of desert warriors. He rubbed shoulders with the French Foreign Legion and Greek Special Forces and worked alongside a band of international aid workers striving to feed the Somali people. And as the country began to recover, he found himself losing connection with the Somalis as their resentment towards the international presence grew and violent confrontation erupted.In this accessible and engaging memoir, Owen, now Humanitarian Director at Save the Children UK, recounts the entanglement of violence and humanity at the heart of this notorious peacekeeping operation. This is a story of human resilience and contradictory friendships, of loyalty, courage and extraordinary endeavour - but mostly it is a story about the meaning of human connection in desperate circumstances.Part memoir, part history and part politics, When the Music's Over sees beyond the criticism of humanitarian intervention and challenges us to consider the enduring importance of international solidarity in a world where notions of common humanity and universal peace are increasingly being abandoned.

Under en karriär som spänner över sju decennier har Roger Moore befunnit sig i filmvärldens absoluta centrum. Han har spelat huvudrollen i tv-serier och filmer som gjort honom berömd i hela världen, men han var också en upptågsmakare och historieberättare av stora mått och hade dessutom rykte om sig att vara en av de sista riktiga gentlemännen i branschen. < Med den osvikliga brittiska självironi som tillsammans med ögonbrynen och gentlemannastilen var hans signum, skriver han i den självbiografiska boken Den siste gentlemannen om högt och lågt från åren i filmbranschen.
