What Woman Want versus The gender, transgender and cultural wars of the West
2019 || Paperback || Janice Atkinson || Aspect Publishers
Written by UK MEP Janice Atkinson, she gives an excoriating analysis of the politicians who pass damaging legislation that ordinary people have not sanctioned, were never in party manifestos or even discussed, the latter mainly because they have made discussions on certain subjects a hate crime.

So what happens now? Is this the beginning of the end of IS? Or can it adapt and regroup after the physical fall of the caliphate? In this timely analysis, terrorism expert Colin P. Clarke takes sto...

Rejecting the Aristotelian ethic, which he believed allowed the State to remain unchallenged, he broke down the wall bet...
Prior Unity
2019 || Paperback || Adi Da Samraj || IS PEACE 723
This book's message is that the impulse to peaceful, cooperative coexistence is humanity's "true north". The impulse comes from our root-intelligence as one single species, and, at the same time, reflects the inherent unity of all life.
"If humankind is going to make it to the other end of this century, it will only be by recourse to great Wisdom-Action, as presented in Prior Unity. And only together, as Earth-World all together-as one, not two. Profounder Wisdom is not available anywhere-nor...
