  The way we glow when having a great conversation, building off each other’s ideas, finding solutions we can all be satisfied with. The way we spark together when marching in protest. This is living democracy. 
  Yes, the world looks bleak. Across our society there’s a mounting sense of desperation in the face of the climate crisis, gaping economic inequality and racial injustice, increasing threat of war, and a post-truth politics divorced from reality. Extinction is in the air. 
  But what if the solutions to our ecological, social and political crises could all be found in the same approach? What if it was possible for us to not just survive, but thrive? 
  In Living Democracy, Tim Hollo offers bold ideas and a positive vision. It’s the end of the world as we know it, but it doesn’t have to be the end of the world. In fact, around the globe, people and communities are beginning an exciting new journey. 
  This book will inspire you, inform you, and get you fired up to co-create our common future. A living democracy.

  "On Liberty" is a political philosophy book written by British philosopher John Stuart Mill, first published in 1859. The book is one of the most influential works in the history of liberalism, and argues for the importance of individual liberty and freedom of thought and expression. 
  Mill argues that individuals should be free to think, speak, and act as they wish, as long as their actions do not harm others. He believes that free speech and the exchange of ideas are essential for the progress of society, and that government interference in these matters is harmful and unnecessary. 
  In "On Liberty", Mill also discusses the limits of individual freedom, arguing that individuals should be prevented from harming others or infringing upon their rights. He also recognizes the importance of social cohesion and collective action in certain situations, but maintains that these should be voluntary and not imposed by the government. 
  Overall, "On Liberty" is a powerful defense of individual liberty and a critique of the tendency of governments to interfere in the lives of their citizens. The book continues to be widely read and studied, and remains an important work in the field of political philosophy.

  There are few women in English history more famous or controversial than Queen Anne Boleyn. In this vivid and engaging account of the triumphant and harrowing final year of Queen Anne Boleyn's life, the author reveals a very human portrait of a brilliant, passionate, and complex woman. 
   
   
   
  The last year of Anne's life contained both joy and heartbreak. This telling period bore witness to one of the longest and most politically significant progresses of Henry VIII's reign, improved relations between the royal couple, and Anne's longed-for pregnancy. With the dawning of the new year, the pendulum swung. In late January 1536, Anne received news that her husband had been thrown from his horse in his tiltyard at Greenwich. Just days later, tragedy struck. As the body of Anne's predecessor, Katherine of Aragon, was being prepared for burial, Anne miscarried her son. The promise of a new beginning dashed, the months that followed were a roller coaster of anguish and hope, marked by betrayal, brutality, and rumor. What began with so much promise, ended in silent dignity, amid a whirlwind of scandal, on a scaffold at the Tower of London. 
   
   
   
  Through close examination of these intriguing events considered in their social and historical context, listeners will gain a fresh perspective into the life and death of the woman behind the tantalizing tale.

  City Resilience - Building...

  In an era of rapid urbanization, cities are facing an array of challenges that threaten the sustainability and stability of urban life. From climate change-induced natural disasters to social inequality and economic instability, the vulnerabilities of urban environments are increasingly evident. As the global population continues to concentrate in cities, the importance of urban resilience has never been more critical. Urban resilience refers to a city's capacity to withstand, adapt to, and recover from various shocks and stresses, ensuring the continued wellbeing of its residents and the functionality of its infrastructure. 
  The resilience of urban communities is not just about withstanding external shocks such as earthquakes, floods, or pandemics, but also about the ability to respond to longer-term stresses like climate change, economic fluctuations, and demographic shifts. Cities are complex systems, where the interplay of social, environmental, economic, and technological factors can either contribute to vulnerability or foster the development of adaptive capacities. Building resilience, therefore, requires a multi-dimensional approach that integrates these various aspects, creating a robust foundation upon which cities can thrive despite inevitable challenges. 
  One of the primary reasons urban resilience has gained such prominence is the growing recognition of the vulnerability of cities in the face of climate change. With rising sea levels, more frequent and severe storms, and heatwaves becoming the norm, cities are exposed to significant risks that threaten public safety, economic stability, and infrastructure. Moreover, rapid urban growth often leads to poor urban planning, inadequate infrastructure, and limited resources to address emerging problems.
