Sinossi

16-year-old Fola Oduwole is scared. She's scared of disappointing her parents, she's scared of not being able to follow her dreams, but most of all she's scared for her brother. He has cancer and his surgery's coming up soon, it could leave him paralysed, or worse. Fola deserves a break, and she gets her wish when she takes the Victoria line one stop too far and is transported to Folkshore, a magical, hidden part of London.

Now she's scared of the talking animals, the mythical Shriekers and not being there when her brother wakes up. Fola wants to go back, but a thunderstorm destroys Folkshore station. As she looks for another way out, Fola stumbles on the local Assembly's nefarious plans. She realises that the only way back to her brother is to help her new friends as they resist the pugnacious police pigs and the authoritarian assembly.

If she fails, the community she's come to love could be destroyed forever and she may never find her way home.

    Underwater - The Greed-Soaked...

    While the celebrity victims of Dr. Larry Nassar and the USA Gymnastics sexual abuse scandals rightly got a lot of attention, the number of affected kids is far more numerous in swimming. Underwater tells the almost unbelievable story, in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, Latin America, and the Middle East, of coaches who preyed on children while hopping from program to program, state to state, and even country to country, in a pattern similar to the pedophile priests of the Catholic Church. 
     
    Irvin Muchnick, an experienced investigative reporter of the dark side of our popular sports entertainments, gained access to thousands of pages of FBI files and other sources to expose scores of such scenarios, as well as the inaction of bureaucrats and even the most highly regarded politicians. The ranks of abusers include some of the most famous and celebrated coaches in swimming history. And there’s no fixing the problem, the author says, so long as hundreds of thousands of young swimmers annually — elite and casual athletes alike — remain at the mercy of the Olympic system’s money-hungry priorities.

    This is a concise summary and analysis of The Logic of Collective Action, by Mancur Olson.
     
    It is not the original book and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Mancur Olson.
     
    Ideal those seeking a quick and insightful overview.
     
    The Logic of Collective Action is a groundbreaking exploration of the paradoxical dynamics behind group behavior. This influential work dissects how individuals, acting in their own self-interest, often fail to act collectively—even when it benefits the entire group. From labor unions to environmental movements, the book reveals why smaller, more focused groups often achieve their goals, while larger groups face significant obstacles. Blending economic theory, sociology, and political science, this analysis provides a compelling framework for understanding cooperation, free-riding, and the challenges of organizing collective efforts. A must-read for anyone seeking to comprehend the forces shaping social, political, and economic groups.

    The Philosophy of Spiritual Activity - Read by the amazing Owen Hunt @bootsygreenwood Now in Audio, on Audible and everywhere else! 
    Of all of his works, The Philosophy of Spiritual Activity is the one that Steiner himself believed would have the longest life, and the greatest spiritual and cultural consequences. It was written as a phenomenological account of the results of observing the human soul, according to the methods of natural science. 
    This seminal work asserts that free spiritual activity (understood as the human ability to think and act independently of physical nature) is the suitable path for human beings today, to gain true knowledge of themselves and of the universe. This is not merely a philosophical volume, but rather a warm, heart-oriented guide to the practice and experience of living thinking. 
    Listeners will not find abstract philosophy here, but a step-by-step account of how a person may come to experience living, intuitive thinking - "the conscious experience of a purely spiritual content".

However, there is a large section of white people in America that refuse to admit this fact. These deniers of truth are the white racists of America. Aided by the Republicans, they pose a serious threat to the idea of an inclusive America where everyone is welcome. This book exposes their behavior pattern, explains why their actions harm all Americans, and shares a few methods to combat them.
