  Can a New Age guru save his cult without losing his soul? 
  Spinning Karma is the story of Rinpoche Edward Schwartz, reluctant figurehead of Mind of Pure Enlightenment (MOPE), a once-popular New Age group whose current membership has sunk to an all-time low. In an ill-conceived effort to bring the group and its teachings back into the limelight, Schwartz heads to Taiwan to film a fake “religious oppression” video - starring a group of clueless language students who believe that they're taking part in an English conversation class.    
  The video goes viral and the scheme succeeds beyond Schwartz's wildest expectations, triggering a media-driven propaganda war between the United States and China that spins out of control. Before long, everybody from spiritual seekers in China and America, to an ambitious presidential contender, to the Chinese government itself wants a piece of MOPE…and of Schwartz. 
  Set in an exotic, untapped location, this erudite, offbeat, East-meets-West farce features characters and situations ripped straight from the headlines, gently mocking religious intolerance, the social media-driven news cycle, and the often confusing “Frenemies with benefits” relationship between America and China.

  The second in an uproarious, sardonic and incisive look through English history. In this volume, we discover the actions of the Normans and King Richard, giving clear reasons why we history should hold them in nothing but contempt. It also covers the signing of the Magna Carta, the first bill of rights in England, which came about because a powerless king tried to go to war, realised that he had no-one behind him, and was bullied into signing in order to not simply be executed. 
  Covers: 
  William The Conqueror, and the thugs and mercenaries who bought titles and became England's gentry. 
  William Rufus, and his utterly ridiculous death. 
  Henry The First, Surnamed Beauclerc, his conquest of Normandy, and death from a finger wound. 
  Stephen. 
  Henry The Second, Surnamed Plantagenet, and his constant battles with both the church and his own family. 
  Richard The First, Surnamed Cour De Lion, and how truly awful he was in every respect. 
  John, Surnamed Sansterre, Or Lackland, and how tried to lead an army that deserted him and was forced into signing the Magna Carta.
