The Deep Thoughts of Jim Emerton
Champion pigeon racer, lover of wild creatures and wild places, MENSA member, philosopher –in retirement Jim Emerton now devotes his time and energies to sharing his experiences, his observations and his expertise with others who share his interests and concerns. This is a collection of Jim’s more philosophical writings as originally published in MENSA publications, including the members’ periodical Cognito. They are in general his attempts, as he puts it, to ‘verbalise the unknowable’. “I have had a great life… I have travelled a lot, run a business, been a salesman, I was a record-breaking shot and until I was 30 I had never been beaten at arm wrestling. Over the years I have developed my own personal belief system fusing science and art in philosophy.”

Brilliant just loved it
This book is just brilliant for the thinking fancier that looks at the whole picture of not just the end product of pigeon racing but the philosophy of life itself. It expresses as in the title a deep thoughts on the thinking made up from the man himself rich diversity of life’s experiences that in turn is translated his views on the world nature and the universe it’s self. It maybe a little deep for some but I’m sure this is not a mistake but put there to challenge and stretch loosen the cogs of the mind giving your brain a good healthy workout. So if you like challenges mulling over the deepest questions in the meaning of life and with a soupçon on racing pigeons splattering of poetry then this book will truly satisfy your needs. Oh by the way I didn’t want it to end!
