    Living in Fear is a reminder of the threat to democracy posed by the current rise in extreme right-wing politicians and political parties in the Western World. July 22, 2022, the Spanish Parliament approved a new Historic Memory law that, among other measures, declared Franco's government illegal, nullified the rulings of the dictatorship's courts and made the government responsible for recovering the bodies of the hundreds of thousands of people killed during the civil war and the subsequent dictatorship.85 years after Franco's death, it appeared that justice would finally come to all Spaniards, without revenge or reprisals. It might not be so, as the recent July 24 2023 national elections saw an active rise in the number of extreme right-wing members of Parliament. A wave of great unrest and fear is again sweeping the country.Living in Fear, the single volume updated edition of Damnatio Memoriae, is directed at drawing readers' attention to the Francoist genocide of Spain, the pre-WWII human catastrophe that served as a testing ground for Hitler's forthcoming holocaust.

    This book exploring the generational ties of a family across generations: various narrators tell their struggles with humour, comedy, and tragedy, where traditional storytelling, asserts the eternity of the soul as zero time.Because the soul is everlasting and reincarnates, every child is a reincarnated ancestor that returns from the eternal to the physical plane. The soul in the body is manifested from spiritual to physical being that is made flesh. It echoes the traditional black Zeitgeist that black people do not die, along the lines: "ln principio erat Verbum et Deus erat Verbum". In the second tenet of Ras Tafari: Almighty God is a living man!

After fifteen years in banking, she opted to be at home with her children. Joy has a passion for encouraging exploring and researching on real matters such as nature and matters that make our life comfortable. It was while sourcing suitable reading matter (i.e. books that are both educational and fun) that she wanted to make a contribution towards such reading matters to children. Despite living in South Africa all her life, Joy finally went on her first wildlife Safari in 2013. She found the whole experience very exhilarating and felt a deep spiritual connection with the bush and the wildlife. She found herself thinking about all the children (both in South Africa and beyond) who would never be able to access such an amazing experience. Inspired by her experience and driven by her passion to promote exploring among young children, Joy wrote "My great super Safari in South Africa '' It is her hope that through this book, children will access a world that is beyond their reach.

    In the ancient Aboriginal Dreaming stories all living things had a human spirit and could communicate with each other, interact with their Mother Earth and Father sky, their creator. There were rules set by the father and creator so that the children of Mother earth would live in peace. However. When rules are not adhered to conflict inevitably happens. This particular encounter is based on a real Dreaming story told by the old people in far western New South Wales. It shines a light on the reason why this particular group of Aboriginal people will not go out in the dark on their own.Woven into this story is a question of what happens when the old and the new Australian cultures meet. Escape Into Dreaming is an attempt to tell the story to children in the hope that they will better understand the spirituality of our first nation's people.

    Based on a true storyThe Overlanders is a bittersweet, sometimes comical look at the lives and loves in the world of a droving team in the Australian Outback. Their trials and tribulations and the hardships they endured in the harsh desert country they inhabited. The dangers they faced from their enemies and elements alike. It also tells the story of the women they left behind time and time again to fend for themselves. Sometimes for months on end.Faced with the task of delivering cattle, sometimes hundreds of head, from point A to point B, sometimes hundreds of miles, the mighty drovers are a mostly unsung hero. In all weathers they pushed the cattle through. In searing heat and freezing cold, through drought and flooding rains they delivered the meat to feed a nation.Tom was one such a hero, though he would get a good laugh at hearing that said about him. He was a drive boss, and it was on his shoulders, rested the responsibility of delivering live and healthy livestock through the harshest conditions to their destination. It is a myth that these men enjoyed a laid-back stress-free occupation. Yet by the same token they would never entertain the idea of doing anything else.It was on a shortcut through Devils Canyon that Tom decided to take to save time and money that these men met a most harrowing and horrific foe. It would change their lives forever, and to this day these men are loathe to speak of it.A foe, so much more than the usual perils they faced as they drove stock across mountain and plain, through deserts and scrub and forests. Much more threatening than the constant search for water and pasture and the threat from rustlers. A foe so confronting that it made these men consider staying at home.Some happenings are so terrible that they have the power to bind people together in the strongest of bonds. These men came through their ordeal stronger but changed.

    The title of this short book is What's Next?, and the short answer is Who Knows? This is despite the mounting evidence that our current worldwide problems are leading people to reassess their priorities for the future and insist on the need for change. The purpose of the book is to take this contrast seriously, and not only to accept the task of seeing what is at stake as we enter upon a new future, but also to face up to the challenge flowing from what this reveals: Can We Do It?
