Synopsis

Landscape History investigates the profound ways landscapes influence human culture, thought, and creativity. It explores how our environment shapes literature, philosophy, and cultural identities worldwide, highlighting that landscapes are not merely backdrops, but active forces.

 
The book examines how landscapes serve as symbolic canvases, imbued with cultural meanings reflecting identity and memory. It also delves into how encounters with diverse terrains spark philosophical inquiries about humanity's place in the universe, existentialism, and consciousness.

 
The book unfolds in three parts, beginning with key concepts like environmental determinism and cultural landscape theory. It then presents case studies from various regions and historical periods, such as the pastoral landscape's impact on Romantic poetry and the urban environment's influence on modernist literature.

 
Finally, it synthesizes these arguments, discussing the implications of landscape history for environmental conservation, cultural preservation, and national identity. This interdisciplinary approach, drawing from literature, history, geography, philosophy, and art history, seeks to bridge scholarly research with general readership, providing a comprehensive understanding of our relationship with the environment.

    Number 1 Best Selling book; Alcohol Stole My Mum... 
    In 1978 John Taylor is eight years old and is in love with life. At school he is top of his class and adored by all the teachers. On the football pitch, he exhibits skills way beyond his years and, better still, his beloved Arsenal have just reached the FA Cup Final. Everything is great for John until the day he comes home from school and sees his alcoholic mother lying in bed after being beaten to a pulp by his violent father. From then on, his world changes terribly. To escape his painful and turbulent childhood, John finds solace in sports, especially football. He becomes a huge Arsenal and Celtic fan and amongst those supporters, he experiences a 'real' family, a togetherness as he travels with them to stadiums up and down the country. When John reaches adulthood, he is able to build a good life for himself with his loving partner and two beautiful young daughters. However, like so many who carry unresolved childhood trauma in their hearts, John falls prey to his own addictions. With the demons worsening in his head, and in the midst of a mental breakdown, he begrudgingly checks himself into rehab. Whilst there, he was given a choice: does he want to see his girls grow up, or does he want to be just like his mother? Faced with a 'life or death' situation, John opens up about his childhood for the first time ever in his life. Alcohol Stole My Mum is a hugely brave examination of a man's life to date. It is a story of great redemption told with a depth and candour that seeks to inspire and to help others. It is a compelling tale of how alcoholism destroys the family unit, but, worse still, creates devastating consequences that endure for years. Yet it is also laced with great humour.

    The Wayfinder tells the story of the life of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding President of the United Arab Emirates, and explores the key relationships, challenges and events that shaped his outlook on the world. 
    Extensively researched, it takes readers behind the scenes into the delicate negotiations that led to the formation of the UAE in 1971, and the gradual consolidation of the union that occurred in the often turbulent decades that followed the country’s founding. It also examines Sheikh Zayed’s responses to several major world events, including the British withdrawal from the Gulf in 1971, the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s, the first Gulf War in 1991, the Iraq War in 2003, and the 9/11 terror attacks. 
    The Wayfinder provides new insights into the life and legacy of one of the most transformative yet historically overlooked political leaders of the 20th century, whose words and actions continue to have a lasting influence on the UAE, its leaders and its people.

    How to stop making excuses, ditch delaying tactics, and achieve your goals without feeling like it’s a chore. 
    Is there something you want to accomplish but can’t seem to follow through with, whether it’s making healthier choices, learning a new language, or limiting social media time? 
    If so, then CONQUER DISCIPLINE is for you! 
    How often do you give in to distractions or struggle to finish what you’ve started, then beat yourself up for feeling like a failure? 
    Do you wish you could be one of those people who have laser focus and keep their eyes on the prize no matter what? 
    Here’s a reality check: What spells the difference between one’s success and failure is not merely talent, intelligence, or even luck – it’s self-discipline. 
    Self-discipline, according to the dictionary, is the ability to control yourself and to make yourself work hard or behave in a particular way without needing anyone else to tell you what to do. 
    Unfortunately, while the benefits of self-discipline have long been established, it has earned a bad reputation. 
    Many people – perhaps including yourself – react negatively to it, most likely because it’s often associated with ideas of harsh punishment, heavy burden, and basically a rigid, joyless life. 
    But that notion cannot be farther from the truth. In fact, a study has shown that practicing self-control makes you happier and more satisfied both in the moment and in the long run. 
    Experts also say that self-discipline is like a muscle – the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets. The good news is, unlike a rigorous exercise routine, you don’t need to hire a professional trainer or have fancy equipment and tools to master self-discipline - read the book to discover more...
