Exploring the spiritual qualifications of Jesus, this book delves into profound questions about his role in guiding humanity towards God. It scrutinizes his divinity, leadership abilities, and the implications for those who do not follow him. Through thoughtful analysis, it seeks to uncover the truth about Jesus' mission and the consequences of belief and disbelief in eternal life.
We are on the inflection point of a technological revolution that will change our economy, society and politics. That brings new possibilities and a rare opportunity to reappraise existing debates around how we organise our economy, how we make political decisions and how our leaders behave. While there is an understandable focus on the technology in existing debates, this book makes the case that the most important determinant of the future is human values and uniquely human skills of creativity, innovation, adaptability and collaboration. These implications need to be appreciated now for us to take full advantage of what this revolution can offer and reclaim it to reflect our own values. Told through a series of interconnected stories and cutting across disciplines, Reclaiming the Revolution is an enthusiastic and provocative book about the Fourth Industrial Revolution and our disruptive political age.

Tokyo during the 1960s was in a state of uproar, full of protests, riots, and insurrection. Tatsumi Hijikata – the initiator of the 'Butoh' performance art and the seminal figure in Japan’s experimental arts culture of the 1960s – created his most famous works in the context of that turmoil. Central to Hijikata's vital 1960s work are his many films, from experimental projects undertaken in collaboration with artists, to horror and sex films made for Japan's ailing studios, to his participation in the corporate, state-power spectacle of the Osaka World Expo ’70. Based on original interviews with Hijikata’s collaborators as well as new research, Film’s Ghosts illuminates Hijikata’s world-renowned, spectral 'Dance of Utter Darkness', Butoh, and explores Hijikata's films directly against the backdrop of 1960s urban culture in Tokyo, with the rise of its screen-constellated mega-towers, its fierce protests and riot-police battles, its ascendant security-guard and surveillance industries, and its experimentations in art, sex and terrorism. An essential book for readers engaged with film and performance, urban cultures and architecture, and Japan’s experimental art and its histories.
A new history of the 1/6th Duke of Wellington's Regiment in the Great War.
A lost city in the North of England during the momentous winter of 1978 and the accelerating collapse of the UK's final socialist government–the so-called 'Winter of Discontent', and the final winter before the onset of the Thatcher era, which will imminently raze or transform everything and everybody in that city. For that last-gasp moment, young figures engulf themselves with obsession in the punk-rock cacophonies and accompanying riots that erupt in decrepit hotel ballrooms and subterranean nightclubs, within an excoriated cityscape of ruined industrial buildings whose ghosts now appear more living than the living. A notorious serial-killer is aimlessly pursued by the police while terrorising the bewildered inhabitants of a city controlled by corrupt corporate cartels, while nightly violent outbursts of streetgang warfare transect the city. An immense insane asylum on the urban peripheries, into which that city's malfunctioned, haunted figures are emptied-out, overlooks everything while offering its own aberrant space of liberation for its inhabitants. Time is disintegrating, revealing the detrita and abysses of the past embedded in that city. A few of its young figures gradually discover that only white noise and desire in their outlandish forms can overturn that frozen discontent, but they need to act before the winter is over. Written in an innovative, disturbing and captivating style which meshes raw corporeality, urban insurgency and catastrophic recent history–and deploying that recent history to pierce and illuminate the contemporary moment– White Noise Ballrooms positions itself directly in the immediacy of contemporary writing. “Stephen Barber is one of our very best writers, and White Noise Ballrooms is his very best book, to date. An addictive evocation of times and places, then a poetic excavation of those times and places; times and places which are at the heart of Stephen Barber’s work, and at the heart of so many of our lives; quite simply, a brilliant book.”— David Peace
