Written with verve and a mordant wit, 'The Wheels of Society' is a vivid, cogent, ground-breaking proposal for us to re-think ourselves in order to steer civilisation back to safety. As a species we seem to cling on to the power and influence of 'the old normal'. Forests and valleys are decimated so that businessmen can be in Manchester 30 minutes faster; thousands of airline seats are sold for the price of a free-range chicken so that hundreds of short-haul planes can devastate the atmosphere and enable drunken escapades in Barcelona rather than Soho; the rich get even richer and the poor get Covid 19. Bankers conspire in the fraudulent abuse of people's savings, yet can keep their loot, saved by governments supposed to protect their citizens but who fail to hold a single perpetrator to account. Is this how we are supposed to be? The biology of society becomes visible when hubris is side-stepped. First, natural selfishness must be overcome before individuals can assemble altruistically into a working group - a rather wonderful achievement. Our cooperating groups, which make up the hierarchy of society, are living things in their own right. Then, once assembled, the group must perform trial-and-error cycles to do life's vital functions. Wilson's 'assembly-and-performance thinking' combines these two mechanisms into a simple scientific theory of society which applies, with variations, to all cooperating creatures - not just to humans.

The book stretches from classic to pun filled prose and "Dittyography." This word has been invented in order to better explain the varied styles of rhymes interspersed along with the articles contained. Ben has written for many Free Press Papers primarily read by senior citizens across the country. AARP is just one of these. The book bases its content on a platform of human interest for anyone who might like to simply peruse positive content and maybe allow themselves to smile instead of what might otherwise be impending.

The islands of the Outer Hebrides are home to some of the most remote and spectacular scenery in the world. They host an astonishing range of mysterious structures - stone circles, beehive dwellings, holy wells and 'temples' from the Celtic era. Over a twelve-day pilgrimage, often in appalling conditions, Alastair McIntosh returns to the islands of his childhood and explores the meaning of these places. Traversing moors and mountains, struggling through torrential rivers, he walks from the most southerly tip of Harris to the northerly Butt of Lewis. The book is a walk through space and time, across a physical landscape and into a spiritual one. As he battled with his own ability to endure some of the toughest terrain in Britain, he met with the healing power of the land and its communities. This is a moving book, a powerful reflection not simply of this extraordinary place and its people met along the way, but of imaginative hope for humankind.

Humanity is at a critical juncture in its history. In the last 400 years, humanity has been going through the most profound cultural change in human history. Western culture - and other cultures as well - have in large measure accepted a view of reality as being explainable solely in material terms. This fundamental philosophy has shaped all areas of human activity. This book both describes this phenomenon and evaluates whether there are good reasons to accept it. The author argues that if we adopt such a philosophy, then we have no basis for upholding the dignity of each human being, and this has vast and frightening consequences for human beings. This book is not just timely, but absolutely critical for everybody to read. It is not presented in dry, abstract terms, but in the language of humanity. It is a cry from a human heart, deeply concerned about what is taking place in the world. It is one of the most important books of our time.

"No Such Thing as Terminal: The Re-Discovery of the Lost Secret German Cure for Cancer and The Fountain of Youth. " Genetic Engineering is not just a futuristic fantasy which is often how Hollywood portrays it to be. Rather it exists in the here and the now and has been in existence with a technical theory that has been giving positive results since the 1930's. These innovations have however been secretly suppressed for a multitude of reasons not the least of which is political power. Now in this book is discussed one person's accidental hit on the secret cure for cancer using genetic engineering. A cure which has existed since the 1930's and has repeatedly been tried both in vivo and in vitro. Herein is explored one person's speculations, scientific discoveries, and evidence of both the credibility of the medicine and the conspiracy of the cover-up. DNA was not first discovered by Crick and Watson nor were they really the first to describe its structure. This was done long before them with the advent of the invention of Quantum Mechanics which began in earnest in 1926 with the work of Schrodinger and earlier with the work of Von Laue in crystallography.
