Synopsis

“Hidden Tunnels” unearths the fascinating world of subterranean structures, revealing how tunnels and underground networks have shaped societies throughout history. This exploration highlights human ingenuity in creating concealed spaces for various purposes, from ancient aqueducts to modern-day escape routes.

 
Intriguingly, many ancient civilizations utilized tunnels not only for practical needs like water management but also as vital defensive fortifications. The book argues that the recurring presence of these hidden passageways across cultures underscores a fundamental human drive for survival, security, and the preservation of power.

 
The book examines specific case studies from different eras and locations, such as the Cu Chi tunnels used during the Vietnam War and the elaborate water systems of ancient Rome. Each example illustrates the purpose, construction methods, and societal impact of these underground networks.

 
By synthesizing these diverse examples, “Hidden Tunnels” identifies recurring patterns and universal themes, exploring the psychological and social factors that drive the creation and use of hidden tunnels. It progresses from introducing the concept of subterranean passages to analyzing specific historical instances and finally synthesizing overarching patterns.

Alcohol Stole My Mum

John Taylor, Paolo Hewitt

Number 1 Best Selling book; Alcohol Stole My Mum...
In 1978 John Taylor is eight years old and is in love with life. At school he is top of his class and adored by all the teachers. On the football pitch, he exhibits skills way beyond his years and, better still, his beloved Arsenal have just reached the FA Cup Final. Everything is great for John until the day he comes home from school and sees his alcoholic mother lying in bed after being beaten to a pulp by his violent father. From then on, his world changes terribly. To escape his painful and turbulent childhood, John finds solace in sports, especially football. He becomes a huge Arsenal and Celtic fan and amongst those supporters, he experiences a 'real' family, a togetherness as he travels with them to stadiums up and down the country. When John reaches adulthood, he is able to build a good life for himself with his loving partner and two beautiful young daughters. However, like so many who carry unresolved childhood trauma in their hearts, John falls prey to his own addictions. With the demons worsening in his head, and in the midst of a mental breakdown, he begrudgingly checks himself into rehab. Whilst there, he was given a choice: does he want to see his girls grow up, or does he want to be just like his mother? Faced with a 'life or death' situation, John opens up about his childhood for the first time ever in his life. Alcohol Stole My Mum is a hugely brave examination of a man's life to date. It is a story of great redemption told with a depth and candour that seeks to inspire and to help others. It is a compelling tale of how alcoholism destroys the family unit, but, worse still, creates devastating consequences that endure for years. Yet it is also laced with great humour.

We live in a time of increasing conflict due to ignorance, misinformation and polarization. We must change this. How balanced order was and still can be achieved is described in this set of four books.  
Heads filled with too many imagined injustices ignore realities generally experienced by the dispossessed and powerless, caused by "The Fortunate". A rebalancing is long overdue. But how? This starts and finishes through the actions of caring and well-informed individuals locally first, in areas of personal opportunity and influence, ever growing step by step. It is time to take command of enabling powers constructively, observing, sheltering, feeding and educating: positive change supercharged and empowered through action.  
The best time to start change is NOW
