  IMAGINING THE BENNETS is a monumental prequel, spanning forty years of family saga before Pride and Prejudice. It’s original, intricate, intelligent, and moving. The story offers a wonderful interpretation of the earlier era and is an imagination that is loyal to the original. The narrative is an uncompromising, romantic, hard-hitting, heart-rending, viscerally real, historically epic tale. 
  How did a rebellious boy with a miserable childhood, who ran away to sea at 15 and whose subsequent life was rich, varied and notable, become the sanguine Lewis Bennet? And how did a feisty, independent, accomplished and well-educated Catherine Gardiner become the worthy but pressured, driven and intense Mrs Bennet? They certainly encountered joy, sadness, trials and tribulations in bringing up their five girls, and somehow they shouldered their deepest fears for twenty years, knowing one or more good marriage was the only way to save the family from penury. How did they bring up those magnificent girls? It is a tale for the ages, as relevant today as it was then. 
  Who were the two individuals who became the middle-aged couple we know so well, and what of their earlier relationship?  They fell madly in love and had the world before them. But what happened along the way, their highs and lows, to lead us the beginning of the wonderful Pride and Prejudice and the paucity of warmth we encounter? And what went on behind those well-loved scenes as Lizzie, Jane and Lydia made their marriages? We may proudly think we know, but we may have our own prejudices challenged. This story will inform and entertain you, containing much that was left unspoken in the great book upon which it is based!

  In the small, seemingly idyllic town of Hermiston, Oregon, Ethan Brandt's world is torn apart in a single, devastating moment—the murder of his parents. As Ethan returns home to confront his grief, he quickly learns that their deaths are only the tip of an iceberg of secrets.

  From shadowy meetings to chilling confessions, Ethan finds himself caught in a dangerous web of lies spun by those he trusted most. With his best friend Mark by his side, Ethan embarks on a harrowing journey to uncover the truth. But as secrets unravel, each revelation forces him to confront his own morals, his faith, and the haunting question: how far will he go to protect the ones he loves—and to save himself? 
  A gripping tale of loyalty and deception, Confessions and Betrayals is a powerful exploration of the ties that bind us, the choices that define us, and the ultimate cost of seeking redemption in a world steeped in sin.

  Imperialism and Its Legacy - The...

  Imperialism, a term that evokes both grandeur and controversy, refers to the practice of extending a nation's power and dominion over foreign territories, often through conquest, colonization, or economic and political influence. At its core, imperialism involves the domination of one country over another, typically to exploit resources, expand markets, or spread cultural and political ideologies. While the history of imperialism stretches back to ancient civilizations, the modern form of imperialism emerged during the Age of Exploration, when European powers began to seek new trade routes and expand their influence across the globe. 
  The roots of imperialism are deeply entwined with the economic, political, and cultural motivations of the imperial powers. From an economic perspective, nations sought to secure access to valuable resources, such as gold, silver, spices, and agricultural products, which were crucial for their economic growth. The industrial revolution further fueled this desire for resources, as new technologies created an insatiable demand for raw materials and new markets to sell finished goods. Politically, imperialism was driven by the need for strategic dominance, with nations eager to expand their influence and prevent rivals from gaining power. Cultural and ideological motives, such as the belief in the superiority of one’s own civilization and the desire to “civilize” and Christianize indigenous peoples, were also significant driving forces behind imperial expansion. 
  The rise of modern imperialism coincided with the emergence of powerful European states, including Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, and later Germany and Italy, who sought to expand their empires across Africa, Asia, and the Americas.

  This bundle of books delves into humanity’s deepest questions through three profound fields of philosophy—Teleology, Phenomenology, and Eschatology. This 3-in-1 volume offers a rich and thought-provoking journey through purpose, perception, and the end of existence. 
  In the first section, Teleology, readers explore the concept of purpose in nature, history, and human life. From Aristotle’s final causes to modern interpretations of design and destiny, this section unpacks how philosophers and scientists have interpreted meaning in a seemingly chaotic universe. 
  Phenomenology takes center stage in the second section, inviting readers into the study of lived experience and consciousness. Tracing the work of Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty, this section reveals how we perceive and interpret the world from a first-person point of view. It’s a dive into perception, intentionality, and the structures of experience. 
  Finally, Eschatology examines the philosophical and theological discourse surrounding the ultimate destiny of humanity and the universe. Whether through religious traditions, secular speculation, or metaphysical inquiry, this section explores endings, finality, and the deep questions of what lies beyond the limits of life and time. 
  Together, these three domains form a comprehensive introduction to advanced philosophical thinking, ideal for students, seekers, and anyone intrigued by the questions that shape our understanding of reality.

  Cleansing the mind of the accumulation of time - 2 April 1980  
  • Time is the enemy of man. 
  • Is there a beginning which is not enmeshed in time? 
  • We said nothingness is everything and so it is total energy. It is undiluted pure, uncorrupted energy. Is there something beyond that? 
  • Has man ever been free from the ‘I’? 
  • That emptiness can only exist when there is death of the particular.
