Summary

This book is a timely and unapologetic expose that dismantles the carbon credits system – a $2-trillion climate (so-called) “solution” that has exploited under-developed communities for decades. More than a critique, the book is a bold call for global accountability and a reimagined approach to solving climate change. Carbon credits are a market-based way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by funding projects that remove or avoid emissions from the atmosphere. Based on personal encounters and extensive work across Africa, the author presents the raw truth about what happens when climate policies are manipulated to serve the elite while leaving the most vulnerable to bear the cost. Jaye Connolly demonstrates why the current carbon credits system is failing and, if left unchecked, enables fraud and greenwashing on a huge scale. She goes on to offer real-world solutions for how we can reform this broken system, ensuring that those who are protecting the planet benefit from the climate economy.

    'I was aware of a slight unease. In all my years at the hospital, I had never had a hoax call. Suddenly out of the darkness ran two masked figures in camouflage clothing pointing something shaped like a gun, covered in leaves. "You won't scare me. You won't get the better of me." flashed through my mind as I reached out to grab the weapon . . .'

    The Silver Invicta is a stream of impressions from a fishing life, in its varying moods, colored with plenty of whisky and eccentric company. Join Tom Harland on his light-hearted journeys with his fly rod; take part in his triumphs and disasters on rough, wild camping trips and share his encounters with the wildlife of Scotland’s rivers and lochs.  The ‘Silver Invicta’ was the traditional fly which was taken by Tom’s first salmon and is also a nod to the spirit of Scotland’s embattled migratory fish. Tom has fished throughout his local Scottish Borders, England, the Western Isles and New Zealand (a country he lived and worked in for two years), but his real passion is for the brown trout of the hill lochs of Assynt in the North-west Highlands.  Open this treasure trove of a book to share the pleasure the author finds through fishing respectfully in magical, wild, and seldom-visited places.

    The Swift Conquest - Unraveling...

    The rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party did not occur in isolation but was the culmination of a confluence of societal, economic, and political factors. Post-World War I Germany was a nation in turmoil, grappling with humiliation, economic devastation, and political instability. The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, placed the blame for the war squarely on Germany's shoulders, imposing severe reparations that crippled its economy. The German people, burdened by hyperinflation, unemployment, and poverty, became disillusioned with the democratic Weimar Republic, which they perceived as weak and ineffectual. 
    Amid this chaos, Hitler emerged as a figure of radical change. A decorated veteran of the First World War, Hitler initially joined the German Workers’ Party, a small and obscure nationalist group. With his fiery oratory skills and an unrelenting focus on propaganda, he quickly rose to prominence, transforming the group into the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), or the Nazi Party. Hitler’s message was simple yet potent: he promised to restore Germany to greatness, overturn the Treaty of Versailles, and provide a scapegoat for the nation’s suffering—the Jewish people and other minorities. 
    By the early 1920s, Hitler had crafted a political doctrine that combined virulent nationalism, anti-Semitism, and a disdain for democracy. He also sought to exploit the populace’s fears of communism, which was gaining traction in Europe following the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. The failed Beer Hall Putsch in 1923, an attempted coup in Munich, briefly landed Hitler in prison. However, this setback proved instrumental to his ideological development, as he used the time to dictate Mein Kampf, a manifesto outlining his vision for Germany’s future and the expansion of Lebensraum, or "living space," for the German people.

    This is small copy of the introduction of the book: Ignatius of Loyola was a Spanish priest and theologian, who founded the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) and became its first Superior General. He is one of the most influential figures in the Counter-Reformation, and his legacy continues to this day through the work of the Jesuits in education, missionary work, and social justice. 
    Ignatius was born into a Basque noble family in 1491. As a young man, he pursued a career as a soldier, but was seriously injured in battle in 1521. During his convalescence, he experienced a profound religious conversion. After a period of spiritual discernment, Ignatius decided to devote his life to God. 
    Ignatius spent the next several years studying theology and philosophy. In 1534, he and six companions founded the Society of Jesus, a religious order dedicated to serving the Church. The Jesuits quickly gained a reputation for their zeal, discipline, and intellectual rigor.
