     Edited by David Cameron, Steve Munby and Mick Waters, Unfinished Business is both a tribute to Sir Tim Brighouse and a call to action based on Tim's approaches, commitment and ideas. 
    
     The first part of the book celebrates Tim's life and achievements. This includes contributions from his son Harry and longstanding colleagues and friends such as Bob Moon, David Woods and Jo n Coles. These accounts provide a rounded picture of Tim and, in a sense, make the case for listening to him and commemorating him in action rather than simply celebrating his memory. This part also includes contributions from David Blunkett and Estelle Morris that underline Tim's national status. 
    
     The second part of the book is forward-looking with contributions from close friends, career colleague, policy makers, politicians and the people that Tim thought made the most difference: teachers in schools. Contributors explore what we need to do now in order to continue Tim's work in their particular area of expertise. Contributors include:

    Kilwa Sultanate - The Swahili...

    Nestled along the shores of the Indian Ocean, Kilwa emerged as a vibrant cultural and trading hub whose origins can be traced back to the mingling of diverse peoples and traditions. Long before it became known as a dominant maritime power, the region was home to indigenous communities that thrived on the rich resources of the East African coast. The arrival of Arab and Persian traders introduced new goods, ideas, and cultural practices, setting in motion a transformation that would lay the groundwork for Kilwa’s future prominence. 
    The early formation of Kilwa was not the result of a single event but rather a gradual process influenced by its strategic geographic location. Its natural harbor provided an ideal meeting point for merchants navigating the vast Indian Ocean, linking the interior of Africa with the markets of Arabia, India, and even China. This advantageous position allowed Kilwa to evolve from a modest trading outpost into a bustling urban center, where economic opportunities attracted people from far and wide. 
    As the trade networks expanded, so did the cultural exchange. The integration of Islamic traditions played a significant role in shaping the identity of the nascent city-state. Early Muslim traders and scholars brought with them not only the teachings of Islam but also innovative approaches to governance, education, and law. This infusion of new perspectives blended with existing local customs, creating a unique cultural synthesis that became characteristic of the Swahili coast. Over time, the fusion of indigenous and foreign elements fostered a distinct identity, one that celebrated both its African roots and the influences of distant lands.

    I recently saw several predictions by well-known seers of the future that there will be a huge natural disaster in June/July of 2025. 
    Whether a disaster from a comet crashing into the Earth, a huge volcanic eruption or earthquake or a nuclear war; the likelihood of humanity suffering a period of global cooling is that it will happen—and has already happened in the past. 
    Disasters could actually cause global cooling for months or years. In trying to lookup any books on how to individuals and society should handle global cooling I couldn’t find anything. So I decided to write a manual dealing with this issue. 
    This manual has five parts: 
    Part One-Understanding the Threat 
    Part Two-Preparation and Prevention 
    Part Three-Surviving the Freeze 
    Part Four-Rebuilding in the ICE 
    Part Five-Looking Forward 
    Historical examples of how mankind dealt with global cooling in the past are included as well as lots of advice on how to recognize this process happening to our world, and how to deal with the consequences. 
    Survival for both individuals and society, and how to plan for the future. 
    I hope this situation never happens in our lifetimes but this book might be an aid to survival in those circumstances.
