  Have you ever wondered just what was the Hanseatic League?, How malt was made, or how eels get to the Sargasso Sea? The answers to these and many other questions will be found in this book. 
  Spanning the period from the Anglo-Saxons to the coming of the railway, two Points East is about the boats, the fishing and some of the lives lived on the North sea coast of Norfolk, from the once world-famous herring fishery in Great Yarmouth to the extraordinary rescues of Cromer’s famous lifeboatman Henry Blogg. 
  Judith Ellis lives in Norfolk with an insatiable curiosity and some very fine memories of sailing off the East Anglian coast. A lifelong interest in traditional boats combined with a love of history and sketching has found expression in this book.

  Reframing Our Impact on Humanity
  
  Are you finding it difficult to positively engage with people who view the world differently than you do?
  
  Do you feel the heaviness of our societal and political divides?
  
  Have you seen evidence of the erosion of humanity?
  
  The important work of human and cultural understanding has been nested in thorny political agendas that often don’t invite healthy exchange. Rather than feed into the political divide, Dr. Kyle Reyes presents an approach to understanding differences that prioritizes humanity.
  
  The framework and structure of this book are born from the belief in lens development—the deliberate effort to see things anew—because when we see things anew, a change in our behavior follows. Humanity requires work unique to the individual and the collective, and Dr. Reyes introduces a new framework that invites us to improve how we show up in the world and engage with others.
  
  Personal growth and transformation come from honest reflection and self-analysis. In Lenses of Humanity, Dr. Reyes illustrates how we can improve and develop more human understanding, embrace humane practices, and find deeper connections across differences so we can be more deliberate in living our lives with greater humanity.

  Of all the names that come to mind when thinking about a dictator. Very few names carry as much dread as that of Joseph Stalin. A cunning yet cruel and jealous man. Joseph Stalin etched his name on the history books not only for his actions during World War 2 but also his rise to power and his brutal treatment of any that opposed his reign.

  A Waterstones Best Politics Book of the Year 2023
  All to Play For, the anticipated follow-up edition to Going for Broke: The Rise of Rishi Sunak
  ★★★★✰  –Daily Telegraph
  "The overarching theme of Lord Ashcroft's revised and updated biography of Rishi Sunak is a portrayal of a politician trying to do the right thing."– George Parker, The House
  "The family history of both Sunak and his in-laws is fascinating and frequently quite moving." – Times Literary Supplement
  "Ashcroft has dug up a great deal of detail." – Eastern Eye
  PRAISE FOR GOING FOR BROKE
  "The fullest account yet written of Sunak the rising star." – Andrew Gimson, ConservativeHome
  "Clearly written, lively and perceptive, and contains much insight on the complex world of Tory politics." – Vernon Bogdanor, Prospect Magazine
  ***
  The speed of Rishi Sunak's advance to 10 Downing Street is without precedent in modern British politics. In mid-2019, he was an unknown junior minister; seven months later, he became Chancellor of the Exchequer; and by October 2022, he had secured the highest office in the land. Aged forty-two, he was Britain's youngest Prime Minister in more than 200 years.
  Michael Ashcroft's biography – first published in 2020 and now fully revised and updated – charts Sunak's ascent to the University of Oxford, the City of London, Silicon Valley and Westminster before assuming the most powerful job in the country in chaotic circumstances.
  It is the story of a clever and hard-working son of immigrant parents who marries an heiress and makes a fortune of his own; a polished southerner who wins over the voters of North Yorkshire; a fiscal conservative who becomes the biggest-spending Chancellor in history; and a fastidious political operator tasked with reuniting the Conservative Party and repairing an economy in flux.
  Casting new light on Sunak's tense working relationship with his predecessor, Boris Johnson, All to Play For shows what makes him tick ahead of a general election whose outcome will have profound consequences for Britain.

  In this series of books, I have put together a small set of questions in my favorite area, namely, Yoga and meditation , religious beliefs, and philosophy. These are the subjects that I normally write about. I have answered  some of these questions based on my decades of pondering and serious study. The result is, a series of books packed with very intriguing questions, and equally illuminating answers.
