The Torch Invention illuminates the fascinating history of portable light, revealing how a simple innovation profoundly shaped human civilization. From prehistoric campfires to modern LED flashlights, the book traces the evolution of the torch as a symbol of human progress.

The narrative emphasizes the ingenuity behind each iteration, highlighting the continuous cycle of innovation driven by necessity.

 
The book explores the torch's journey chronologically, beginning with archaeological evidence of early fire-keeping and progressing through oil lamps, candles, and gas-powered lights. It examines the impact of these advancements on urbanization and social interactions before transitioning to the electrical age with the invention of the incandescent light bulb and the rise of battery-powered flashlights. The book culminates with modern lighting technologies like LEDs, considering their energy efficiency and environmental impact. The insights provided on light generation and energy efficiency can further inform better choices about lighting solutions.

    THE INSIDE STORY OF THE MILIBAND AND CORBYN YEARS, AND HOW THEY LED TO THE LABOUR LEFT'S DEMISE For 42 years, Chris Williamson was a Labour Party member. In 2010, he was elected to Parliament to represent his home town. However, in 2019, he was unceremoniously suspended from the party after being subjected to a smear campaign, and he later resigned in protest at the betrayal. In this forensic memoir - free of his Labourist clutches - Williamson provides a unique ringside view. As well as lifting the lid on the amateurish politics-by-focus groups under Ed Miliband, Williamson exposes some of the major events that created and deepened Labour's 'antisemitism crisis' under Jeremy Corbyn.In his mission to set the record straight on numerous misreported events, Williamson names and shames the individuals - on the left and the right - whom he holds responsible for delivering his former party back into the hands of New Labourism under Sir Keir Starmer. To understand the existential crisis facing socialists in Britain today, Williamson's account of recent Labour history is indispensable."Williamson's analysis will be contentious and his trenchant views make uncomfortable reading. But for those who want to see a socialist future, or anyone who has ever voted Labour and wants to see it do better, this is essential reading." -  Ken Loach, filmmaker"Chris Williamson is a compelling and committed socialist and was Jeremy Corbyn's most loyal supporter in Parliament: that is why he had to be sabotaged at all costs.  … This book is a fascinating account of his struggle and the way forward." - Alexei Sayle, actor, author, stand-up comedian"Chris Williamson's 10 Years Hard Labour is an eye-opening, and at times, infuriating, insider's account of the coordinated political assault on the British Left that took place inside a party that was once its home." - Max Blumenthal, author, editor and founder of The Grayzone"The Left needs an honest account and reckoning of the rise and fall of 'Corbynism' - and I hope this book is start of that much needed self-criticism and honest debate." - Salma Yaqoob, peace activist"[Williamson] offers a searing indictment of the cannibalistic witch hunt that libelled Corbyn and others with false accusations of anti Semitism to cleanse the party of the Left. This is a necessary corrective history for British audiences and a warning for the Left in all Western democracies." - Rania Khalek, journalist, Breakthrough News

    The Sumerians were the people from Sumer, the first recognized society in the historic area of southern Mesopotamia (now southern Iraq), developed throughout the 6th and 5th centuries BC throughout the Chalcolithic and early Bronze Ages. In addition to age-old Egypt, the Caral-Supe culture, the Indus Valley civilization, the Minoan civilization, and age-old China, it is also one of the world's early civilizations. Sumerian farmers who lived along the Tigris and Euphrates valleys grew a great deal of grain and other items, which allowed them to establish metropolitan towns. Before 3000 BC, there was proto-writing. The earliest files date from between 3500 and 3000 BC and are from the cities of Uruk and Jemdet Nasr. 
    Most historical analysts believe that Sumer was first completely occupied between c. 5500 and 4000 BC by a West Asian population who spoke the Sumerian language, a non-Semitic and non-Indo-European agglutinative language isolate (as evidenced by the names of cities, rivers, standard professions, and so on). It wasn't an inflected language, in contrast to its Semitic cousins. 
    Go ahead and get stared, and get to know more about the Sumerians, what they did, who they were, and why so many people know so little about them.
