Sinopsis

The Greatest Works of Thomas More is a profound assembly of literature navigating the ideological and philosophical landscapes of the Renaissance through the lens of Thomas More's enigmatic oeuvre. This anthology intricately weaves More's esteemed works, such as his iconic 'Utopia,' with less prominent yet equally compelling texts, offering readers an expansive survey of humanist thought and social commentary. The collection showcases a blend of allegorical, political, and theological discourse, inviting readers to explore the complexities of More's visions alongside the reflective observations of editor William Roper, who seamlessly curates the tapestry of insights, ensuring both depth and accessibility in every reading experience. The contributing voices, primarily Thomas More, present a spectrum of Renaissance intellectualism, challenging conventional narratives of their era. Each author and editor in this compilation brings a wealth of historical understanding, which enriches the thematic explorations within. This collection resonates with the broader cultural shifts of More's time, capturing the tension between emerging modernity and enduring medieval traditions. The nuanced perspectives are deftly interwoven by Roper, whose editorial vision crafts a cohesive dialogue among the texts, highlighting the diverse influences that shaped More's thought and the shared human ideals that persist today. For readers seeking to traverse the intricacies of philosophical thought and literary craft, The Greatest Works of Thomas More stands as an indispensable resource. The anthology invites an immersive engagement with More's rich philosophical dialogues and Roper's meticulous presentation, offering a vibrant confluence of ideas that challenge and inspire. Revel in the chance to connect with the multifaceted themes and experiential narratives that forge new understandings and lingering contemplations, as part of a broader intellectual and historical discourse.

    Public Safety: A Necessity

    A community without public safety will be like the land of Israel in those days when there was no king in Israel—everyone does what seems good to them. They kill at will, rape both men, women, and children at will, steal at will, and whatsoever seems good to them, just like the animal kingdom. 
    I, O. T. Osawaru, the author of this book, observed that our societies are gradually becoming lawless. The police and other public safety departments were defunded while empowering criminals and making them heroes. Hence the need to write this book. And to shift our focus on the consequence of these acts and bring back law and order in our societies to preserve lives and properties. 
    After listening to this book, I pray you will become an advocate for the need for public safety and the funding of every public safety body—furthermore, to encourage every public safety officer for their noble service in our societies.

    An outrageous miscellany of serious and light-hearted lies, myths, untruths, fibs and fabrications that tells the tall tale of South Africa.
    The fibs come thick and fast, like a burst sewerage pipe:
    • Why everything we've learnt about Shaka Zulu, 'Africa's Napoleon', is a pack of lies.
    • Back in the darkest of ages (the 1970s!), citizens were told that there were satanic messages if you played some of The Beatles songs backwards.
    • National icon Hansie Cronje was a paragon of virtue, and integrity … until he wasn't.
    • President Nelson Mandela told us that we, as a nation, were 'special'. Turns out we aren't.
    Whether a fabulous fib, an artful con, a doctor's spin, or simply a bald-faced lie, there's something for everyone.

    December 11, 1936. The King of England, Edward VIII, has given up his crown, foregoing his duty for the love of Wallis Simpson, an American divorcée. Their courtship has been dogged by controversy and scandal, but with Edward's abdication, they can live happily ever after. 
     
     
     
    But do they? This is a story of a royal shut out by his family and forced into exile; of the Nazi attempts to recruit the duke to their cause; and of why the duke, as Governor of the Bahamas, tried to shut down the investigation into the murder of a close friend. It is a story of a couple obsessed with their status, financially exploiting their position, all the while manipulating the media to portray themselves as victims. 
     
     
     
    The Duke and Duchess of Windsor were, in their day, the most glamorous exiles in the world, flitting from sumptuously appointed mansions in the south of France to luxurious residences in Palm Beach. But they were spoiled, selfish people, obsessed with their image, and reveling in adulterous affairs. Drawing upon previously unexplored archives, Lownie shows in dramatic fashion how their glittering world was riddled with treachery and betrayal—and why the royal family never forgave the duke for choosing love over duty

  • Designed to Fail - How Modern Economic Systems Evolved to Feed on Perpetual Crisis — And How We Can Save Ourselves from Our Own Destruction - cover

    Designed to Fail - How Modern...

    What if the systems we rely on don’t just fail to solve societal problems, but are designed to perpetuate them? If the very things that make life meaningful—well-being, human connection, and stability—are sacrificed to uphold fragile economic structures, is life within these systems truly worth living? When health declines, relationships fracture, and communities dissolve, what remains? 
    Uncovering the hidden mechanics of the crisis economy, this book reveals how manufactured crises fuel economic growth, turning fear, division, and instability into the most valuable commodities. It explores how industries sustain themselves not by solving problems, but by ensuring they never truly disappear. From the processed food industry to digital isolation, media-driven polarization, and pharmaceutical dependence, systemic instability isn’t a flaw—it’s a feature of the modern economic model. 
    Beyond exposing the problem, this book asks whether an alternative is possible. Can ethical industry scale without being consumed by the system it seeks to challenge? How can modern technologies like AI and blockchain be harnessed to ensure integrity? Can individuals reclaim autonomy in a world designed to keep them in a perpetual state of anger and uncertainty? And if ethical industry is achievable, can it meaningfully reduce the suffering embedded in the systems that sustain it, or is profit through human hardship an unavoidable reality? 
    This book doesn’t just expose these systems—it challenges the individual to look within, reclaim their agency, and recognize their ability to chip away at the structures of suffering, generating small but powerful ripples of positive change that may one day shape a brighter future. 
    For those seeking to understand the quiet, systemic degeneration of modern societies, this book is your starting point.
