Don't Worry About Matilda by SHELAGH DELANEY
Brothers and sisters don't always get on, and between Alex and Matilda there's a certain amount of jealousy and rivalry. She has a glamorous life as an actress in London, while he stayed put in Manchester: he's married with two kids, while she's still single. They both need each other, but are frightened to show how much.

4: A Walk to Patagonia
'If we think about human actions, we immediately find some striking differences between them and other events in the natural world.
At first, it is tempting to think that types of actions can be identified with types of bodily movement. But that is obviously wrong...'
In his fourth lecture, Professor Searle explores the mechanism underlying human behaviour. How can our ethereal thoughts be connected to our physical actions?
