We are at a watershed of history. The human race is now so numerous and its technological power so great that we are having an unprecedented impact on the biosphere, the entire planet. The need to control this impact is giving rise to a new kind of politics - the politics of the planet. The most urgent problem we face is that of climate change. This book gives a vigorous and candid account of how governments tentatively felt their way to the first international agreements on climate change and the ozone layer, how these work, and the long-term implications for global governance. It points to the roles that businesses and ordinary citizens can play, and the changes we can expect in our daily lives. This is an area in which politics, technology and economics meet. In this sweeping and energetic book, the author goes on to look at the major planetary issues that confront us now or that are close over the horizon, and the ethical issues of our relationship to our environment that they raise. Amid the dangers, he finds ground for hope. Anyone with an interest in the human condition as we spin further into the new century will find this an enlightening and rewarding book.

In The Day I Emailed Jesus, author Norman Moss takes us on an uplifting and thought-provoking journey seeking truth and enlightenment regarding the Christian religion and the myths, mysteries, and truths surrounding it. To aid him in his quest, he posed 22 searching and profound questions to Jesus. A sample of questions: Is there a God and a heaven? Can humans trust religious leaders? Does God answer prayers? Does each of us have a preordained destiny? Does the Holy Grail exist, and what is it? While some of Jesus's emails may be contentious and highly controversial to some established religious organisations, The Day I Emailed Jesus introduces a unique opportunity for humankind to become enlightened beings in preparation for the transition from the old world to the new world in Christ. These words of wisdom and truth can act as a beacon of light along the path of individual enlightenment-and ultimately, it is a promise of the gift of participation in God's heaven on the earth to come.

Nineteen Weeks is Norman Moss's riveting account of FDR, Churchill, and the extraordinary decisions made in 1940 that set the stage for America's interventionist role in world affairs. The weeks between May and September 1940 saw Hitler's stunning conquest of France, Britain's desperate struggle against the threat of invasion and conquest, and a passionate debate in the United States over the proper response to these events. Roosevelt's appeals to his countrymen to offer support to Europe were met with opposition from factions that wanted to maintain America's distance. When the tide of popular opinion turned from isolationism, the order of world power was altered forever.
As Moss shows, the "special relationship" between Britain and America began in that brief, crucial period, setting the tenor of future American foreign policy. His lucid history offers a fascinating window on current world events.
