  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.

  Han Dynasty - Silk Roads Science...

  The Han Dynasty, lasting from 206 BCE to 220 CE, is one of the most significant periods in Chinese history, shaping the culture, politics, and identity of China for centuries. It followed the brief but influential Qin Dynasty, which had laid the foundations for imperial rule but also faced internal strife and rebellion. The Han emerged as the new power, restoring stability and expanding China's borders, making significant contributions to science, technology, trade, and philosophy. 
  The dynasty's rise was primarily due to the leadership of Liu Bang, a former peasant who became Emperor Gaozu. He defeated his rival, Xiang Yu, and took control of the vast Qin Empire, establishing the Han Dynasty. Gaozu's leadership marked the beginning of a new era, one that would see the consolidation of power and the implementation of reforms that would shape the future of the empire. 
  The Han Dynasty’s political structure was deeply influenced by the collapse of the Qin Dynasty. Emperor Gaozu restored the decentralized feudal system of governance, but with modifications to ensure more central control. Over time, the emperors of the Han Dynasty would strengthen the centralized bureaucracy, establishing a model that would endure for centuries in imperial China. One of the key developments was the introduction of Confucianism as the state philosophy. Confucian ideals, emphasizing hierarchy, duty, and moral governance, became deeply embedded in the political and social structure of the Han Empire. Confucian scholars played an essential role in the administration, and the dynasty itself was viewed as a time when the state was governed by virtuous and learned rulers.

  Former special assistant to President Trump, New York Times bestselling author, and evangelical Christian Cliff Sims shares the lessons he learned on faith, politics, and the Christian witness while working in the halls of power.   American life today is consumed by politics. Even our churches are tearing themselves apart over political candidates, cultural flashpoints, and debates about whether certain pastors are vessels for the Holy Spirit or an unholy political agenda.   So how should Christians approach our lives in this time of strife and division? How should we engage in politics and respond when we find that our beliefs are at odds with the culture? And how do we keep our focus on eternity when the present attractions of the world are there in front of us at every turn? Cliff Sims, the son of a Baptist minister and man of deep Christian faith, has walked the halls of power, serving as a Special Assistant to President Trump and Deputy Director of National Intelligence. While working at the highest levels of the American government, he experienced firsthand the cutthroat world of power politics, an environment that can test the character of any follower of Jesus, and he wrestled continually with how to live out his faith.   In this book, Cliff shares hard-earned wisdom from his time serving in government, giving Christians lessons on how to live faithfully and with integrity. Recounting stories from the West Wing, Air Force One, and top secret bunkers, Sims offers practical advice and biblical insight on how to let the light of Christ shine in our dark world, regardless of our politics.  The Darkness Will Not Overcome is a must-read for every Christian who has found themselves exasperated by politics, fearful about the future, or discouraged by the times in which we live.

  The Will to Conquer - Mastering...

  The Will to Conquer: Mastering Power, Strategy, and the Art of War is a manifesto for those who refuse to be ruled. Power is not a privilege granted by fate—it is seized by those with the vision, discipline, and ruthlessness to take it. 
  In this book, A.A. Castor dismantles the myths of fairness, morality, and justice, exposing them for what they truly are: illusions designed to keep the weak in submission. Drawing from the principles of history's greatest strategists—Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, Nietzsche, and beyond—The Will to Conquer explores the foundations of dominance, manipulation, and control. 
  This book reveals: 
  ✔ The Laws of Power – How rulers impose their will and eliminate opposition. 
  ✔ The Art of Strategy – Why battles are won before they are fought. 
  ✔ The Psychology of a Ruler – How to think beyond morality and hesitation. 
  ✔ The Mastery of Deception – Why perception is more powerful than reality. 
  ✔ The Will to Power – How to overcome fear, doubt, and self-imposed limitations. 
  Power does not wait for the patient, nor does it reward those who seek validation. It belongs to those who demand it. If you are ready to break free from the illusions of the weak and forge your own destiny, this book will show you the way. 
  "There is no universal law—only the law of those strong enough to impose it."
