Footmarks - A Journey into Our...

Jim Leary

'Lucid, poetic and fascinating' ALICE ROBERTS
'Engaging, authoritative and full of fascinating stories of the past' RAY MEARS


'A gentle, personal and very readable book' JULIA BLACKBURN AUTHOR OF TIME SONG
'A triumph!' JAMES CANTON, AUTHOR OF THE OAK PAPERS


'I loved this book' FRANCIS PRYOR

On paths, roads, seas, in the air, and in space - there has never been so much human movement. In contrast we think of the past as static, 'frozen in time'. But archaeologists have in fact always found evidence for humanity's irrepressible restlessness. Now, latest developments in science and archaeology are transforming this evidence and overturning how we understand the past movement of humankind.

In this book, archaeologist Jim Leary traces the past 3.5 million years to reveal how people have always been moving, how travel has historically been enforced (or prohibited) by people with power, and how our forebears showed incredible bravery and ingenuity to journey across continents and oceans.

With Leary to show the way, you'll follow the footsteps of early hunter-gatherers preserved in mud, and tread ancient trackways hollowed by feet over time. Passing drovers, wayfarers and pilgrims, you'll see who got to move, and how people moved. And you'll go on long-distance journeys and migrations to see how movement has shaped our world.

Integrate your inner child...

Love, And, Bloom

Sometimes in childhood, we may accumulate anger sadness, or feel emotional neglect when our needs were not met. This may result from the loss of connections in our identity. We felt anger disappointment or possibly rage.  
We will use a meditation session to release the feeling of shame. It takes a conscious healing method to repair our little one inside. There may be hidden feelings that we have not been aware of.  
Then, we will have a deep integration process work. We find our true identity and let our little one once again express the pain and sadness. We let them shine and be playful. We are no longer at war with ourselves reacting to the old programs and past coping mechanisms.

Summary of Brené Brown's Atlas...

Falcon Press

Buy now to get the main key ideas from Brené Brown's Atlas of the Heart 
  
Emotions – we feel them every second of every day, yet we have such a limited vocabulary to express them. How do we go beyond happy and sad? 
In Atlas of the Heart (2021), Brené Brown aims to equip us with all the language tools we need to map out the wide spectrum of feelings we experience. She doesn’t tell us how we’re supposed to feel, or how to deal with emotions when they come up – it’s simply an emotional encyclopedia. Brown puts emotions into related groups, then goes into the details to help us better comprehend them and communicate them to those around us. The goal is to build deeper, more authentic connections on a foundation of mutual understanding.

Why Politicians Lie About Trade...

Dmitry Grozoubinski

FT Recommended Book on Global Trade War
'It succeeds both in explaining how global trade works and how it affects things many voters actually care about' – Financial Times
'My hero on this is Dmitry Grozoubinski, who has written the most beautiful book' – author Rory Stewart
Why Politicians Lie About Trade reveals how international trade really works – the roadblock tariffs, the hard-won deals and the damaging disputes.
Written with the expectation that the US would trigger a global trade war, this book takes readers on a revealing and sometimes funny tour of the shadowy workings of the $32 trillion-a-year international business that puts goods on our shelves and food in our mouths.
Using clear writing and lively case studies, former trade negotiator Dmitry Grozoubinski reveals the underlying political and geographical forces that shape the impact of cross-border trade on food, jobs, gender, conflict, climate change and many other issues.
And he reveals what politicians cover up about the system – and why it matters to your world.
In short, Why Politicians Lie About Trade contains everything you need to know about the tricky network of imports and exports that rules our world – and is an ideal companion to popular business books like How to Lie With Statistics, Taxtopia and Freakonomics.
Heayweight publications such as the Financial Times and the World Trade Review have endorsed the book, along with popular authors Ian Dunt, James O'Brien and Rory Stewart.
Reviews 
'Despite being an entertaining read, his book is no joke. Structured in two parts, it succeeds both in explaining how global trade works and in illustrating how the rather rarefied topic of international trade policy affects things many voters actually care about: jobs, national security, climate change, and so on. Given how protectionism is increasingly touted as a simple solution to complex social and economic strains, it is also excellently timed.' Felix Martin, Financial Times
'You will come out of it far more knowledgeable than you went in, and shielded from some of the more egregious deceit politicians want to inflict on you. You'll also laugh out loud.' Ian Dunt, author of How Westminster Works
'Written by a former trade negotiator who has trained many British diplomats, this book is authoritative, yet – and here's the strange part – actually fun to read. Dmitry Grozoubinski has a rare knack for explaining complex information in an accessible and light-hearted way.' Richard Baldwin, Professor of International Economics
'Writing a 300-page book on international trade policy issues in a way that is not only accessible but also entertaining would be a serious challenge for most authors. Dmitry Grozoubinski's new book rises to that challenge.' Chris Horseman, Bordelex
'Much of the book's strength lies in its language. It largely avoids technical and academic-style terminology, and the content is presented with a wry and sometimes mischievous sense of humour. This approach makes even the most arcane and obscure parts of the book engaging.' Justin Brown, Lowy Institute 
'Enraging & enlightening in equal measure. And the measure is absolutely enormous.' James O'Brien, author of How They Broke Britain

The Battle For The Jewish State...

Victoria Coates, Sen. Ted Cruz

On October 7, 2023, Israel was ambushed by the Palestinian terrorist organization, Hamas. The attack, underwritten by the Islamic Republic of Iran, unleashed unspeakable terrors on the Israeli population. Most of the world reacted with horror. But many commentators labeled the Jewish people, and Israel as a nation, as oppressors. The Palestinians, according to their Marxist calculus, were the oppressed. 
 
 
 
A legion of figures in academia, the media, and the United States then declared support for Palestine, the perpetrator of the atrocities. Many American institutions have been indoctrinated and transformed into puppets who propagate hateful antisemitism. Why does Israel exist? Why is it worthy of remaining a critical ally of the United States? Why have critical race theorists identified Israel and the US as the most pernicious examples of "settler colonialism"? 
 
 
 
Answers to these questions were developing during the first term of President Trump. But they were abandoned by the Biden-Harris Administration, imperiling Israel and the United States. In The Battle for the Jewish State, Victoria Coates shows how the conflict in Israel is not a regional issue to be resolved through an interminable diplomatic peace process. Rather, it is a broader military and cultural war that must be won for the sake of Israel and the United States.
