  'Excellent... surefooted and perceptive, enlivened by a wealth of vignettes and anecdotes which bring to life the dramatic and frequently horrific events that have played a seminal role in forming Chinese society as it exists today' PHILIP SHORT, author of Mao: A Life
  
  Mao launched the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in 1966 to purge his critics and blood a new generation of fighters. Ten years later, almost two million people had been killed and much of China's heritage, from precious manuscripts to ancient temples, had been obliterated.
  
  The shadow of these terrible years lies heavily over the twenty-first-century nation. The history of this period is so toxic that China's rulers have gone to great lengths to bury it – while a few brave men and women risk their freedom to uncover the truth. For as both they and the Party know, to grasp the history of the Cultural Revolution is to understand much about China today.
  
  Bombard the Headquarters! is not just Mao's story. It's the unforgettable stories of countless individuals, mass manias, of sacred mangos, and spectacular falls from grace. At once rigorous and readable, brief yet teeming with colourful detail, this is a marvel of historical storytelling.
  
  'A beautifully concise account that makes sense of a hugely complex event in modern Chinese history. Linda Jaivin puts her formidable, deep experience both of Chinese history and language to excellent use, conveying in 100 pages what most would struggle to achieve in a thousand' KERRY BROWN, author of China Incorporated

  Multisolving - Creating Systems...

  For most of Elizabeth Sawin's career, she was not a multisolver. Instead, she worked on a single, albeit immensely important problem: climate change. Despite tremendous effort, she felt like she was chasing her tail. Unless people began to recognize the multitude of unexpected benefits from ratcheting down emissions, climate change would remain a losing political issue.That experience, along with the guidance of leaders in systems thinking and racial justice, convinced her that the world's thorniest problems may be easier to tackle together than one by one. That's multisolving: using a single investment of time or money to solve many problems at the same time. Multisolving addresses the current mismatch between complex, deeply intertwined societal issues and our siloed approach to them.This unique resource is for local school boards that need revenue for their students but don't want to overtax low-income seniors. It is for nonprofits working to reduce food waste and combat the root causes of hunger while increasing racial justice. It is for seaside communities that can protect themselves from flooding while also improving biodiversity with a living coastline. It may also be for you: doing the work you know is imperative but that is sometimes overwhelming, a tiny drop in a swirling ocean.

  He Breaks The Shell & I Know My...

  This audiobook unites two profound works by visionary mystic Neville Goddard: "He Breaks the Shell" (1964) and "I Know My Father" (1960), paired with an exclusive guided meditation by Richard Hargreaves to deepen your journey of self-realization. Blending timeless spiritual philosophy with actionable practices, this special edition invites you to transcend limitations, reclaim your divine identity, and awaken the creator within.  In He Breaks the Shell, Neville unveils the transformative process of resurrection as an awakening within the “sepulcher” of the human skull—a mystical rebirth into your Christ-consciousness. Through vivid scriptural analysis and firsthand mystical testimony, he reveals how God’s four mighty acts (resurrection, fatherhood, temple-splitting, and divine affirmation) dismantle the “shell” of mortal identity, birthing you as “the image of the invisible God.” This esoteric masterwork reframes biblical prophecy as an inward journey: “God became man that man may become God.”  I Know My Father distills Neville’s cornerstone teaching: “Your awareness of being is God.” Here, he dismantles illusions of separation, reframing “God” as your I AM presence—the formless awareness that molds reality. Through razor-sharp insights, Neville empowers you to shed limiting attachments, wield consciousness as the “foundation stone” of creation, and manifest desires by “wearing” new states of being. “To claim ‘I AM free’ is to let your savior in,” he teaches—a call to dissolve lack through radical self-revaluation.   
  The meditation by Hargreaves is designed to anchor Neville’s teachings into daily practice. Through breathwork, visualization, and manifestation techniques, this immersive session helps you manifest from unwavering faith.   
  "He Breaks the Shell and I Know My Father—Special Edition" is a roadmap to self-deification. Neville’s revelations dissolve the illusion of separation, empowering you to wield imagination consciously and sculpt a life of purpose.

  Journey into the heart of one of the greatest collapses in human history. Collapse and Conflict: The Fall and Fracturing of the Roman Empire (3 in 1) is a powerful collection that captures the drama, chaos, and slow disintegration of a civilization once thought invincible. As the Roman Empire crumbled beneath the weight of corruption, invasions, economic turmoil, and internal strife, the echoes of its decline would shape the course of Western civilization for centuries to come. 
  This volume includes three richly detailed works. The Fall of Rome provides a sweeping account of the final days of the Western Empire, examining the pressures both from within and beyond its borders. Glory and Decay explores the transformation of Rome’s grandeur into fragmentation, as cities crumbled, institutions weakened, and emperors rose and fell in rapid succession. Finally, The Roman Empire Uncovered digs deeper into the myths and realities of the Empire’s decline, revealing the lesser-known events, key figures, and regional shifts that contributed to Rome’s ultimate disintegration. 
  Blending historical narrative with insightful analysis, this trilogy is ideal for readers passionate about ancient history, the rise and fall of empires, and the enduring legacy of Rome. Whether you're a student, scholar, or curious reader, these pages offer a captivating exploration of a world on the edge of collapse—and the birth of what came next.

  Chasing Bandits in the Badlands

  Bob Breen

  In January 1993, the Australian government sent just under one thousand young men and women to serve under American command in a violent, impoverished, starving society. Most males over the age of twelve either carried or had access to a gun, and most Somali men had been fighting a vicious civil war for years. 
  Australian soldiers and their teams had to gain control of the streets of Baidoa and surrounding towns. This contest was not ‘find, fight and kill’ warfare. There was no decisive victory or defeat. The aim was to detect ‘the bad boys’ and deter and de-escalate their violence rather than escalate hostilities to success through ‘body count’. This mode of operation was not community policing by soldiers either. It involved adjusting attitudes forcefully and assuring uncomfortable consequences for bad behaviour and ultimately lethal responses to armed challenges. 
   
  The world looked over their shoulders. Corporals and diggers had to make split-second decisions to open or hold fire. Holding fire when provoked by punks constituted disciplined professional performance. Opening fire before understanding the situation, especially against unarmed provocateurs, constituted unprofessional conduct and possible condemnation, even criminal charges. These young Australians carried the international reputation of Australia and its army on their shoulders. Their actions would either enhance that reputation or create controversy, negative publicity and, potentially, international embarrassment and condemnation. 
   
  After adjusting their own attitudes to balance aggression and compassion, fight leaders and their diggers forcefully adjusted Somali attitudes, secured a stalemate, and then took control for the time they were in Somalia Australian soldiers individually and collectively helped a traumatised society needing a ‘fair go’ and gave ordinary Somali men, women and children trying to survive a little bit of hope.
