  Rise and Fall of the Stuart...

  Editors Charles River

  England has more often been faced with the claims of competing kings and queens than with a period of no monarch at all. The major exception to that rule came in the 11 years between 1649 and 1660, when England was a republic. Following the disastrous reign of Charles I and the civil wars that led to his execution, Parliament and the army ruled England. England’s republican experiment started out as a work of collaboration and compromise; lords, army officers and members of Parliament (MPs) worked together to find a political settlement that did not include the despised royal House of Stuart. Nonetheless, religious and political division made collective rule unworkable, and ultimately, one man emerged from the chaos to rule the country. He had risen from a humble background to become the leading general of the Civil Wars, and as a man of staunch beliefs and ruthless pragmatism, he controlled England from 1653-1658 under the title of Lord Protector. In essence, he was a king in all but name. That man was Oliver Cromwell, and in the popular imagination, Cromwell has overshadowed the rest of the leaders of the parliamentary cause and the New Model Army.  
  Cromwell’s death would lead to a restoration of the royal line, but an uprising of a completely different nature would soon unfold on English soil – the Glorious Revolution, an intriguing story of a power war exacerbated by ruthless ambition, under-the-table plotting, and the treachery of familial betrayal. That said, it’s important to remember that the deposed James II did try to return to England, and there would be generations of war waged for the Stuart cause by the Jacobites, who were not only supporters of the exiled Stuart monarchy, but also against the political and religious settlements agreed to across the British Isles. It’s no surprise the Jacobites continue to interest so many people, as do the plot twists, near misses, and “what-ifs” involved.

  Freedom From The Known

  Jiddu Krishnamurti

  Born in poverty in India, Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986) became a leading spiritual and philosophical thinker whose ideas continue to influence us today. George Bernard Shaw declared that he was the most beautiful human being he had ever seen and Aldous Huxley was one of his close friends. Whether debating politics with Nehru, discussing theories with Rupert Sheldrake and Iris Murdoch, or challenging his students not to take his words at face value, Krishnamurti engaged fully with every aspect of life. He is regarded by many modern religious figures as a great teacher, an extraordinary individual with revolutionary insights; Joseph Campbell, Alan Watts, Eckhart Tolle and Deepak Chopra are all indebted to his writings.
   
  Freedom from the Known is one of Krishnamurti's most accessible works. Here, he reveals how we can free ourselves radically and immediately from the tyranny of the expected. By changing ourselves, we can alter the structure of society and our relationships. The vital need for change and the recognition of its very possibility form an essential part of this important book's message.

  Who is 'Mad'? Who is Not? And Who Decides?
  In this fascinating new exploration of mental illness, Professor Brendan Kelly examines 'madness' in history and how we have responded to it over the centuries.
  We travel from the psychiatric institutions of modern India to scientific studies of the brain in Victorian England. We discover the beginnings of formal asylum care and witness the experimental therapies of the cavernous psychiatric hospitals of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Ireland, England, Belgium, Italy, Germany and the United States.
  Covering lobotomy and the Nazis' Aktion T4 campaign, as well as Freud, psychoanalysis, cognitive behavioural therapy and neuroscience, In Search of Madness examines the shift in recent times from 'psychobabble' to 'neurobabble'.
  This is an all encompassing history of one of the most basic fears to haunt the human psyche – madness – and it concludes with a passionate manifesto for change: four proposals to make mental health services more effective, accessible and just.

  "Modern Man in Search of a Soul" by Carl Gustav Jung is a seminal work that delves into the complexities of the human psyche and the challenges faced by individuals in the modern world. Jung, one of the most influential figures in the field of psychology, explores various aspects of the human experience, including dreams, religion, art, and the unconscious mind.  In this insightful book, Jung argues that modern society has led to a fragmentation of the human psyche, resulting in feelings of disconnection and alienation. He examines the impact of cultural and societal forces on the individual, as well as the importance of introspection and self-discovery in achieving wholeness and fulfillment.  Drawing on his extensive knowledge of mythology, philosophy, and anthropology, Jung offers profound insights into the nature of the soul and its journey towards individuation. He explores the role of symbolism and archetypes in the unconscious, shedding light on the deeper layers of the human psyche.  Through a series of essays and lectures, Jung invites readers to embark on a journey of self-exploration and inner transformation. He challenges conventional wisdom and offers alternative perspectives on issues such as spirituality, creativity, and the quest for meaning.  "Modern Man in Search of a Soul" is a thought-provoking and enlightening exploration of the human condition, offering valuable insights for individuals seeking to navigate the complexities of modern life and find deeper meaning and purpose in their existence.
