Synopsis

Future Slums explores the pressing issue of rapidly growing unplanned urban settlements and the urgent need for sustainable housing solutions. It examines the intersection of architecture, social science, and urban planning, highlighting the systemic failures in urban development that lead to slum formation. The book argues that the proliferation of these informal settlements isn't inevitable but rather a consequence of inadequate planning, governance, and economic policies. Did you know UN projections indicate a significant increase in the global slum population, posing threats to social stability and public health?

 
The book progresses logically, starting with the historical and socio-economic context of slums, examining factors like rapid urbanization and economic inequality. It then delves into the drivers and consequences of slum formation through global case studies, before exploring innovative approaches to affordable housing and community empowerment. By understanding these dynamics and adopting a holistic approach, we can create more inclusive and resilient cities.

Sirius the Star of the Maltese...

Lenie Reedijk

Sirius, the Star of the Maltese Temples invites the reader to look at the megalithic temples of Malta in an entirely new way. The discovery of the temples’ orientation to Sirius explains with mathematical precision the slight shift in the direction of their axes, caused by the movement of the stars called the Precession of the Equinoxes. The resultant astronomical dating of the temples to the Mesolithic, the period immediately after the last Ice Age, is far older than mainstream archaeology maintains and is on a par with other megalithic sites elsewhere, including Göbekli Tepe in Turkey. These findings turn on its head our conception of the accomplishments of ancient people. Instead of being just primitive cave-dwellers, they were primeval astronomers, whose interest in the sky has left us a legacy we never dreamt existed.
From the Foreword by Giovanni Bonello: “This is a disturbing book. The author defines its contents as controversial and its conclusions as surprising. I judge it to be far, but far, more than that. It is disruptive of accepted wisdom and unsettles all we believe we knew of the origin of man in Malta, of the sequences of early civilization and the histories of prehistory – not in Malta alone, but throughout the whole of Europe. I started reading it in awe, at first with a deliberate effort at disbelief. By the time I was approaching the climax of the exposition, I ended as mesmerized as I was perplexed.”
(Giovanni Bonello is a human rights lawyer and judge who served at the European Court of Human Rights for 12 years)
