The Great Reorganisation -...

Ylia Callan

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Humanity stands at a pivotal moment. For centuries, conflict, inequality, and environmental collapse have defined the systems we rely on. Yet the knowledge, technology, and creativity to evolve beyond these crises already exist. The Great Reorganisation: Evolving Beyond Conflict to Building a Living Future presents a bold, integrative vision for the transformation of civilisation.
This book explores how education, culture, governance, technology, and economy can be realigned to serve life itself. It envisions a world where militaries and conflicts are replaced by global cooperative competitions, where open-source innovation accelerates progress, and where economies measure wealth not in profit but in well-being, equity, and environmental health. Through principles of regenerative design, the book demonstrates how cities, agriculture, energy systems, and finance can operate in harmony with natural ecosystems rather than against them.
At its core, The Great Reorganisation emphasises consciousness. Individual and collective awareness are presented as the foundation of planetary intelligence, enabling humanity to respond to crises with foresight, empathy, and creativity. From cultivating inner resilience to fostering global collaboration, the book provides practical frameworks for integrating mindfulness, ethics, and innovation into every aspect of society.
This work is both a call and a guide: a call to reimagine what is possible, and a guide to implementing the systems, practices, and cultural shifts needed to bring that possibility to life. It offers readers the tools to participate actively in shaping a sustainable, equitable, and vibrant civilisation.

Colonialism and the Jews

Maud S. Mandel, Ethan B. Katz,...

The lively essays collected here explore colonial history, culture, and thought as it intersects with Jewish studies. Connecting the Jewish experience with colonialism to mobility and exchange, diaspora, internationalism, racial discrimination, and Zionism, the volume presents the work of Jewish historians who recognize the challenge that colonialism brings to their work and sheds light on the diverse topics that reflect the myriad ways that Jews engaged with empire in modern times. Taken together, these essays reveal the interpretive power of the "Imperial Turn" and present a rethinking of the history of Jews in colonial societies in light of postcolonial critiques and destabilized categories of analysis. A provocative discussion forum about Zionism as colonialism is also included.

Queens and Prophets - How...

Emran Iqbal El-Badawi

Contrary to popular assumption, Arab women were instrumental in shaping world history. Between Rome’s intervention in the Arabian Peninsula and the Arab conquests, noblewomen ruled independently, conducting trade and making war. Their power was often celebrated as queen, priestess and goddess. With time they delegated power to the most important holy men of their age, influencing Arabian paganism, Christianity and Islam forever. 
Empress Zenobia and queen Mavia supported bishops Paul of Samosata and Moses of Sinai. Paul was declared a heretic by the Roman church. Moses began the process of mass Arab conversion. The teachings of these men survived under their queens, setting in motion seismic debates that would fracture the early churches and lay the groundwork for the rise of Islam. In Mecca, lady Khadijah used her wealth and political influence to employ a younger man then marry him against the wishes of dissenting noblemen. Her husband, whose religious and political career was influenced by her, was the prophet Muhammad. 
Long overdue, Queens and Prophets is a landmark exploration of the legacy of female power in late antique Arabia.
