'Highly readable ... Everything we need to know on this subject' Financial Times
'Fascinating' Geographical Magazine
'A must read for anyone wanting to understand the forces shaping our world' Eliza Filby
'A compelling argument for having more children' New Statesman
A population calamity is unfolding before our eyes. It started in parts of the developed world and is spreading to the four corners of the globe. There are just too few babies being born for humanity to replace itself.
Leading demographer Paul Morland argues that the consequences of this promise to be calamitous. Labour shortages, pensions crises and ballooning debt threaten to engulf us all, and sooner than we think. Unless we radically change our attitudes towards parenthood and embrace a new progressive pro-natalism, argues Morland, we face disaster.

    hips engaged in trade in Asia were at risk from pirates, and shipwrecked sailors were at the mercy of locals. Additionally, American whaling ships came to dominate the whaling trade in the Pacific and were also vulnerable to piracy and to incidents when they docked at Pacific ports to refresh supplies. American warships investigated incidents of piracy, including occasional punitive expeditions to punish pirates or their maltreatment of shipwrecked sailors. 
    Given the distances involved, the captains of warships had a great deal of discretion to commit their ships to action as they saw fit. Before they left port, they were usually given deliberately broad instructions by the Secretary of the Navy or by the President. U.S. ships got to Asia by way of Cape Horn at the tip of South America, or by the Cape of Good Hope around southern Africa, as there was no Suez Canal to shorten the very long voyage until 1869, and there was no easy communication between Washington and California until the transcontinental telegraph in 1861. California became a state in 1850, and the Navy was quick to establish a naval base there, setting up the Mare Island Navy Yard base near San Francisco in 1854. The first warship constructed there was in 1859. 
    An American warship was involved in a punitive expedition in the Pacific as early as 1813-14 at Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas. American naval landing forces fought battles at Quallah Batoo in 1831 and at Muckee in 1839, both in Sumatra. The Navy was involved in a battle in the Gilbert Islands in 1841. The Navy sometimes cooperated with the Royal Navy in actions against pirates off the Chinese coast and was involved in fighting in China in the 1850s and 1860s. There were incidents when American warships were involved not only in China, but also Vietnam and Japan. Americans participated in the violence in Japan as the Shogunate fell and the Meiji restoration began.

    Akali Darshan is a powerful book that shares the inspiring story of the Guru Ke Bagh Morcha, a key event in the Akali movement. What makes this book unique is that it was written by a non-Sikh, showing how deeply the Morcha touched people beyond the Sikh community. The book aims to spread awareness about the importance of peaceful protest and the strong anti-British spirit during India’s freedom struggle. Akali Darshan presents the Guru Ke Bagh Morcha as a symbol of courage and a source of inspiration for many other movements against British rule.You can order it from Sikh Siyasat and get it delivered anywhere in the world.

    ohn Locke: Enlightenment philosopher, father of liberalism, inventor of “natural rights,” and accidental spiritual patron of land developers, libertarians, and your uncle who won’t shut up about property taxes. 
    In this gloriously sarcastic takedown of one of Western philosophy’s most over-quoted minds, Sophia Blackwell (Kant You Not, No Self, No God, No Clue) guides you through Locke’s greatest hits—including: 
    The blank slate theory, which basically says you’re born dumb and the world makes you worse 
    His ideas on identity, which collapse the second you forget your phone password 
    His version of consent, which mostly consists of “You didn’t leave, so I assume you’re fine with it.” 
    And of course, property rights—where mixing your labor with the earth somehow makes it yours, and stealing land becomes morally correct as long as you bring a shovel 
    Locke’s political philosophy inspired democracies, revolutions, and every 400-comment Reddit thread titled “Taxation is theft.” 
    This is not a respectful biography. 
    This is a roast. A eulogy. A survival guide for understanding how Locke gave us: 
    Liberalism 
    Landlords 
    Legal headaches 
    And a political system that thinks fencing off a patch of dirt = moral superiority 
    Perfect for: 
    Recovering philosophy students 
    Political skeptics 
    Enlightenment haters 
    Property law survivors 
    And anyone who wants to laugh while questioning whether government is just a giant metaphor for a really passive-aggressive roommate agreement 
    You don’t need to read Two Treatises of Government. 
    You just need to know Locke said, “I think I own that,” and people believed him.
