  We have most of the technology we need to combat the climate crisis – and most people want to see more action.
   
  But after three decades of climate COPs, our global emissions are worse than ever. And we are accelerating into a Polycrisis of climate, food security, biodiversity, pollution, inequality and more. What, exactly, has been holding us back?
  What will it take for us to do better?
  In the search for answers that have been so elusive to date, Mike Berners-Lee looks at the challenge from new angles. He stands further back to gain perspective; he digs deeper under the surface to see the root causes; he joins up every element of the challenge; and he learns lessons from our failures of the past. He uses all these insights to identify the single point of greatest leverage for those seeking the systemic change we so desperately need. A Climate of Truth spells out why, if humanity is to thrive in the decades ahead, the most critical step is to raise standards of honesty in our politics, our media and our businesses. Not only is this possible, but each of us can have radically more impact on the issues we care about by turning our attention to this simple principle. 
  Anyone asking, ‘What can each of us do right now to help?’ will find inspiration in this practical and important book.

  Robert Falcon Scott was a British naval officer and polar explorer. He led the Discovery Expedition (1901-1904) and the Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913), two voyages of exploration during the so-called Golden Age of Antarctic exploration. He is among the first ten people to reach the geographic South Pole. His Terra Nova expedition developed into a competition with Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen. Scott reached the pole on January 18, 1912, realizing that Amundsen and his crew of four had preempted him by about a month. On the way back to base camp, Scott and his four companions died of malnutrition, disease, and hypothermia.

  Bearing Witness While Black tells the story of this century's most powerful Black social movement through the eyes of fifteen activists who documented it. At the height of the Black Lives Matter uprisings, African Americans filmed and tweeted evidence of fatal police encounters in dozens of US cities—using little more than the device in their pockets. Their urgent dispatches from the frontlines spurred a global debate on excessive police force, which claimed the lives of African American men, women, and children at disproportionate rates. 
   
   
   
  This groundbreaking book reveals how the perfect storm of smartphones, social media, and social justice empowered Black activists to create their own news outlets, which continued a centuries-long, African American tradition of using the news to challenge racism. Bearing Witness While Black is the first book of its kind to identify three overlapping eras of domestic terror against African American people—slavery, lynching, and police brutality—and explain how storytellers during each period documented its atrocities through journalism. What results is a stunning genealogy—of how the slave narratives of the 1700s inspired the Abolitionist movement; how the black newspapers of the 1800s galvanized the anti-lynching and Civil Rights movements; and how the smartphones of today have powered the anti-police brutality movement.

  Elites Unmasked - Lifting the...

  The power brokers of society have always operated behind a veil, their influence stretching across governments, corporations, and cultural institutions. These elites, shrouded in secrecy, wield disproportionate control over the mechanisms that shape our lives. This book seeks to unmask their agendas, exploring how they maintain power and why their influence often goes unchecked. 
  The roots of elite societies can be traced to historical alliances forged in the shadows of royal courts, industrial revolutions, and military campaigns. Over centuries, these groups have refined their ability to operate discreetly, creating intricate systems of influence that extend across borders. Far from the eyes of the public, they engineer policies and direct resources to serve their own interests, often at the expense of collective progress. The structures they’ve built are intentionally opaque, ensuring their movements are imperceptible to most. 
  At the heart of this hidden web lies the art of control. Through wealth, connections, and manipulation of information, elites craft narratives that preserve their dominance. Media empires, think tanks, and lobbying organizations function as tools to shape public perception. Decisions that impact millions are made in exclusive gatherings, while the outcomes are sold as necessary, even inevitable. The general public, often unaware of these forces, becomes complicit in maintaining the status quo simply by not questioning it.

  The Old Book That Predicted Everything is a remarkable collection of prophecies that has intrigued scholars, mystics, and skeptics alike for centuries. Passed down through generations, this ancient text contains predictions that seem to transcend time, offering insights into future events with eerie accuracy. What makes these prophecies particularly fascinating is not only their mysterious nature but also the fact that many of them appear to have come true in ways that could not have been foreseen by those who first recorded them. 
  The origins of the Old Book are shrouded in mystery. It is believed to have been written by multiple authors over a period of time, each contributing their own visions of the future. Some claim that the text is divinely inspired, while others argue that it is the product of keen observation and insight. Regardless of its origin, the prophecies contained within have captured the imagination of those who have studied them. From predictions about world events to the fate of individuals, the Old Book seems to have anticipated numerous occurrences long before they happened. 
  One of the key reasons the Old Book has garnered so much attention is the sheer breadth of its predictions. It spans a wide range of topics, from natural disasters and political upheavals to technological advancements and changes in human behavior. What makes these predictions all the more compelling is the fact that they often appear to be remarkably specific. For example, prophecies about wars, leaders, and even entire civilizations have unfolded with uncanny precision, suggesting that the Old Book holds a profound understanding of the forces that shape our world.
