  Since you recognize that things are going dangerously wrong both worldwide and on our streets, this is a series of four short books for you. They develop the calling for immediate action with many of the avoidable causes identified, listed and remedies stated clearly all in 'crystal clear' language. Now is the time to push back and protect our loved ones, our young, those who are vulnerable and all our futures. Later may well be too late. For many thinking people there is a well-founded and growing disquiet about where our world is going. Undeniably we observe that wasteful preoccupation with owning things which has replaced family values, sound reason, decency and necessary self-discipline for far too many. The me-first society focuses upon personal gratification while rejecting the more central need to think and work together to maintain our community and social family. Discarded is the we-first, polite and supportive normality of quieter times, led now by the shallow, self-interested more grotesque ideas, ideals and human actors. Through this storm of mediocracy and shallow existence can be heard the tramping of media moguls, the infected internet and dead actors of artificial "intelligence", cold scam 'phone callers that daily threaten our loved ones and us. We must most urgently identify our enemies with their manipulative control methods and develop effective counterarguments with successful countermeasures. Unified, self-disciplined, clarified actions, focused on restoring our interdependent caring communities, can and will successfully rebuild common sense and social sanity one brick at a time.

  The Aeneid - Virgil's Mythic...

  The Aeneid stands as one of the most influential literary works of the ancient world, a masterpiece that shaped Rome’s cultural and political identity. Written by the poet Virgil between 29 and 19 BCE, this epic tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan hero destined to lay the foundations for what would become Rome. Blending myth, history, and divine intervention, Virgil crafted a narrative that not only honored Rome’s past but also justified its imperial destiny. Commissioned during the reign of Augustus, The Aeneid served as both a patriotic epic and a moral guide, emphasizing duty, sacrifice, and perseverance.  
    
  At its core, The Aeneid explores Rome’s divine origins through the trials and triumphs of Aeneas. His journey mirrors the struggles of Rome itself—facing adversity, enduring loss, and ultimately fulfilling a grand destiny. Unlike Homer’s heroes, Aeneas is driven by pietas, a sense of duty to the gods, his people, and his future nation. This concept of duty over personal desire defines him, setting him apart from figures like Achilles, who is ruled by rage, or Odysseus, who relies on cunning. Through Aeneas, Virgil presents an ideal Roman leader—one who sacrifices personal happiness for the greater good.  
    
  The themes of fate and duty play a central role in The Aeneid, reinforcing the idea that Rome’s supremacy was preordained by the gods. From the moment Aeneas flees Troy, his path is guided by prophecy. Though he faces obstacles—such as the wrath of Juno, the temptations of love, and the horrors of war—his unwavering commitment to his destiny ensures that he prevails. Virgil uses this theme to legitimize Augustus’ rule, portraying Rome’s rise as part of a divine plan rather than mere political ambition.

  Do Your Own Thing is a full-length work of non-fiction from artist and musician Richard Phoenix detailing his experiences of the best underground arts scene you've never heard of——Do Your Own Thing, a project run by learning disability arts organisation Heart n Soul.
  
  Looking at the transformative potential of working to support creative young people make the music and art they want to, this book contributes essential new voices, reflections and considerations to the established ideas of 'Do It Yourself' culture. Phoenix's book, written with a disarming and idiosyncratic voice, asks what our often reductive understanding of DIY aesthetics might mean in light of questions about access, support and who gives permission to whom to make art, guiding us through the kind of project only spoken about in funding reports and transforming it into a polyphonic, collaborative and joyful work of art.

  Crucibles - How Formidable Rites...

  Throughout human history, civilizations have stratified their citizens, often by establishing royal, priestly, executive, or warrior castes. Many who have achieved elite-level power joined their civilizations' premier organizations not through birthright or sociopolitical attainment, but rather by completing codified rites of passage that demonstrated their exceptional physical, spiritual, or psychological capabilities, and their deep commitment to their cultures. 
   
   
   
  Crucibles: History's Most Formidable Rites of Passage explores fourteen elite organizations, with a special emphasis on the onerous trials designed to cull initiates from aspirants. It analyzes the underlying commonalities of such trials, describing how they work, why people are willing to subject themselves to such rigors, and how such tests benefit or harm the organizations that require them. 
   
   
   
  Crucibles distills both positive and negative perspectives on tests and trials into actionable concepts which may be deployed in modern business, social, academic, or political spheres. In a time where there is a long-overdue focus on the ethical roles and responsibilities of cultural gatekeepers, Crucibles stands as a valuable resource for leaders and managers seeking to convert historic practices into useful, moral, and legal modern policies.

  One of the first books to explore the unique tradition of Dominican shamanism, the magical practices called the 21 Divisions. 
   
   
   
  Like all forms of Caribbean Voodoo, practitioners of the 21 Divisions believe in one God, a distant God that doesn't get involved in human affairs. Followers of this Dominican spiritual tradition believe that God created intermediaries to help humans, beings known as Los Misterios. 
   
   
   
  The Misterios are powerful beings with rulership and dominion over universal forces and human conditions. Practitioners of the 21 Divisions have ways of connecting with the Misterios to achieve success in life, improve their careers, resolve love and relationship issues, heal illness, and much more. 
   
   
   
  Filled with detailed insider information and real stories of healing, magic, and mystery, this book will serve as an illuminating guide to the 21 Divisions. Hector Salva—one of the foremost authorities on the practice of the 21 Divisions—offers his insights into: the history and foundations of Dominican Voodoo; the major Misterios, or spirits, of the 21 Divisions; ceremonies, rituals, and magical spells; and how to get started on the path of the 21 Divisions.
