Synopsis

Mega City Challenges examines the pressing issues arising from the rapid growth of urban centers, focusing on how humanity can navigate the unprecedented challenges of concentrated populations. It addresses the strain on resources, the rise of socioeconomic disparities, and the urgent need for sustainable solutions. One key insight is how the density of mega-cities exacerbates existing problems, straining infrastructure and deepening inequality.

 
The book uniquely chronicles the historical arc of urbanization to provide context, contrasting traditional urban planning with proposed adaptive, inclusive, and ecological governance models.

 
The analysis progresses from defining mega-city characteristics to exploring specific issues like transportation, housing, clean water access, public health, and climate change, using global case studies and GIS maps to visually illustrate resource distribution. By investigating ongoing debates, the book emphasizes the need for integrated solutions that balance economic growth with environmental protection and tackle social inequalities.

  • From Red Terror to Terrorist State - Russia's Secret Service and Its Fight for World Domination: from Felix Dzerzhinsky to Vladimir Putin - cover

    'Detail worthy of a John le Carre novel.' Telegraph The history of modern Russia traditionally has Communism at its centre: Lenin defines its rise, Gorbachev its fall, and Putin its aftermath. In this radical new history, Yuri Felshtinsky and Vladimir Popov, however, introduce a new historical axis: the Cheka―the Bolsheviks' nebulous revolutionary intelligence service. Wrapped around the Party in a fight to the death from 1918 under its first head Felix Dzerzhinsky, only Stalin was able to resist its stranglehold at the cost of enormous bloodshed. Luring Russia into submission over less than a century, its murder-plots and unrivalled scheming culminated in the capture of the Kremlin in 2000. Drawing on Popov's secret documents of over two decades as a senior officer in one of the KGB's key covert sections, and on Felshtinsky's encyclopedic knowledge of Russian state archives open in the 1990s, little-known sources, and access to leading oligarchs, a new Russian history emerges. The story they tell is often unexpected while introducing a new cast of characters still of great influence―potentially surpassing Lenin's role―on our world today. From Red Terror to Terrorist State is the first complete history of the Cheka. Written from the inside, it fundamentally transforms our understanding of Russia and rethinks the way today's Kremlin views itself and the rest of the world. Animated by lifelong study, this authoritative narrative by two exceptional Russian-intelligence experts presents ground-breaking new insights based on an unrivalled wealth of new factual details.

    Why do populists come to power? Are they a threat to democracy? Has the rise of global populism reached its peak, or is it just beginning? This book provides answers to these questions and many more, by summarizing in non-technical language the vast research literature on populism that extends across political science, economics, sociology, psychology, and history. Going well beyond the usual cases of Trump and Brexit, Paul D. Kenny provides evidence both of the recurrent global appeal of populism, and of its often deleterious consequences.Populism: What Everyone Needs to Know® advances a new approach to defining populism that helps to make sense of the most robust research findings to date, and that sets up an exciting and dynamic approach in research for the years to come. Populism is, at heart, a political movement that challenges the institutional status quo. The great paradox of populism is that while people are often justifiably resentful of a system they feel is rigged against them, their reliance on charismatic leaders to channel their frustrations usually harms rather than helps democracy.

    A Manual of Buddhism 
    By Dudley Wright 
    Introduction by Professor Edmund J. Mills 
    Narrated by Oberon Michaels 
    Buddhism has a vast array of scriptures but a relatively small body of essential doctrines. In this short treatise the author presents a systematic introduction to Buddhist teaching, commencing with a discussion of the Noble Eightfold Path. Other topics include the Buddhist views of God and enlightenment, and the practice of Buddhism in the world of today. 
    Dudley Wright (1868 - 1949) wrote extensively on a wide variety of religious subjects and was also active as an investigator of the paranormal. He was a practising Freemason, who believed that all religions shared a common basis.
