Synopsis

Moscow Fires explores the history of Moscow through the lens of the devastating fires that repeatedly ravaged the city. More than just recounting disasters, the book examines how these events shaped Moscow's urban development and defensive strategies. Readers may be surprised to learn that these fires, despite their destructive nature, acted as catalysts for innovation, leading to the adoption of stone construction and the widening of streets to serve as firebreaks. 

 
The book argues that Moscow's cycle of destruction and rebuilding fundamentally altered its urban fabric. It challenges conventional views by demonstrating how adversity fostered progress, influencing architectural solutions and defense mechanisms. Beginning with an overview of Moscow's vulnerability, the narrative progresses chronologically, detailing each major fire's impact, the immediate responses, and the subsequent political and urban planning shifts. 

 
A significant portion of Moscow Fires is dedicated to the architectural responses to these disasters. By drawing on historical sources and incorporating interdisciplinary perspectives, the book showcases how Moscow's experience with fire shaped its unique urban character and contributed to its identity as a resilient and strategically fortified city.

    Return to Growth Volume One -...

    The UK has, in recent years, been suffering from what is nothing short of an economic crisis. Growth has now completely stalled in those western democracies, the UK included, where high government spending and high taxes have steadily burgeoned, decade after decade. Free-market economies now threaten to leave us behind in terms of wealth, opportunity and standards of living. At the end of Rishi Sunak's 2024 government, expenditure was at 45 per cent of GDP and taxes were 36 per cent and rising – yet still nowhere near sufficient to cover public expenditure. The government's net annual borrowing is now a completely unsustainable 4.4 per cent of GDP, with our overall national debt growing rapidly and alarmingly.
    In this arresting and powerful manifesto for economic change, Jon Moynihan analyses the UK's decades-long stagnant economy and looks at what can be done to resuscitate it. Combining rigorous research with unparalleled business experience, he explores the key dynamics affecting economic growth, ranging from government borrowing, expenditure, tax and regulation to the way national resources are deployed on non-productive and futile, growth-stifling endeavours.
    Ultimately, Moynihan shows that unless we act now to reverse the decline, by radically restructuring our economy to stimulate economic growth, the UK risks stagnation, financial collapse and a long-term disintegration in our standard of living. Ignore his warning at your peril.

    You are not crazy. You are not weak. You are not broken. You are injured. And injuries can heal. 
    For decades, John Boyle looked successful on the outside—Harvard graduate, business leader, husband, father—but inside, he was unraveling. Panic attacks, emotional spirals, chronic tension, and a body that never felt safe followed him everywhere. What he never knew was that the source of his suffering wasn’t weakness. It was Complex PTSD, the invisible wound formed in a childhood home ruled by fear, volatility, and silence. 
    In Invisible Wounds, John takes readers on a vulnerable and deeply human journey through the reality of childhood trauma and the lifelong effects it leaves on the mind and body. With gripping storytelling, trauma-informed insight, and a faith-filled lens, he reveals how C-PTSD shapes relationships, sabotages confidence, fuels perfectionism, and quietly rewires the nervous system. Along the way, readers meet the frightened boy he once was, the man that didn’t have everything all together, and the survivor he ultimately became. 
    Blending personal narrative with practical guidance, John offers clarity for those who have been misdiagnosed, misunderstood, or told to “just get over it.” He explains emotional flashbacks, hypervigilance, people-pleasing, dissociation, and the physical symptoms trauma imprints on the body. Most of all, he speaks directly to the reader who feels overwhelmed, ashamed, or unseen. 
    If you have ever wondered Why am I like this? Why can’t I move on?, this book will help you name what hurts without judgment and discover the lifelines that make healing possible. 
    Honest, compassionate, and hope-filled, Invisible Wounds is a lifeline for every survivor searching for language, understanding, and a path forward. Start the journey toward healing today.

    Shiva and Shakti: The Roots of...

    What if reality itself is a union? 
    Not a division between spirit and matter… 
    but a dance between consciousness and energy. 
    In Shiva and Shakti, Dr Bhaskar Bora takes you into the heart of Tantra—not as myth, not as sensationalism, but as one of the most profound philosophical and spiritual systems ever developed. 
    At its core lies a simple yet revolutionary vision: 
    Shiva is consciousness. 
    Shakti is energy. 
    And all of existence is their union. 
    Drawing from classical Tantric texts, Shaiva and Shakta traditions, and centuries of philosophical insight, this book explores: 
    • What Tantra really is (beyond myths and misconceptions) 
    • The true meaning of Shiva and Shakti 
    • The role of the body, energy, and consciousness in spiritual practice 
    • The rise and evolution of Tantra across Indian history 
    • The sacred feminine and the power of Shakti 
    • The relationship between Tantra, Vedanta, Yoga, and other darshanas 
    • The deeper symbolism behind rituals, mantras, and kundalini 
    This is not a superficial introduction. 
    It is a deep, reflective, and intellectually grounded exploration—written for those who want to understand Tantra as a living philosophy, not a distorted stereotype. 
    Whether you are: 
    • A student of Hindu philosophy 
    • A seeker exploring consciousness and spirituality 
    • A reader curious about Tantra beyond popular myths 
    • Or someone drawn to the deeper meaning of Shiva and Shakti 
    this book offers a powerful new lens. 
    Tantra does not reject the world. 
    It reveals it as sacred. 
    And in that revelation, it asks a profound question: 
    What if everything you experience is already divine?

    Would Burns 'Take the Knee' today?
    How could our Burns, the people's poet, look to become an instrument in what many now call 'The Black Holocaust'?
    Did Burns intend to travel knowing he would become a slavedriver, and broadly what that meant in terms of imposing suffering on others?
    Did this knowledge change his mind on emigrating to Jamaica?
    What would Burns have done had he actually gone?
    In the last decade of his life, as the debate for Abolition grew louder in Scotland, to what extent did this campaigning tide of information change his mindset?
    How was Burns used after his death in the fights for Abolition and Emancipation, particularly in the USA – in its Civil War and its Civil Rights movement?
    Through meticulous research and a compelling narrative, Clark McGinn examines Burns' connections to the transatlantic slave trade, highlighting the paradoxes and moral conflicts during the poet's time. He does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, presenting a nuanced portrait that challenges readers to reconcile Burns' literary genius with the ethical ambiguities of his time.
    Burns and Black Lives is an essential read for those interested in the intersections of literature, history and social justice, offering a profoundre-examination of one of Scotland's most iconic figures.
