Unfortunately the criminal organisation responsible for the weapon’s development will stop at nothing to prevent him entering Baghdad and presenting his proof to the assembled delegates. Can Carmichael enter the city against such odds?
Into this explosive situations appears Victoria Jones, a girl with a yearning for adventure who gets more than she bargains for when a wounded Carmichael dies in her arms in her hotel room.

Progress
'A spirited skewering of the idea that things can only get better' The Guardian
'A new understanding of our past' Danny Dorling, author of Inequality and the 1%
________________________________
Progress is power. But our modern story of progress is a very dangerous fiction.
In the pursuit of progress, of growth and expansion, we have levelled cities, flattened mountains, charted the globe and ushered in a new geological epoch unique in our planet’s 4.5-billion-year history. The idea of progress has compelled societies toward exploration, invention, and grandiosity on one hand, and on the other, genocide, slavery, ecocide, and conquest: it is the root of our civilization’s success, as well as its looming demise.
Geographer Samuel Miller McDonald offers a radical new perspective on the myth upon which the modern world is built, illuminating its blood-strewn lineage and suggesting an urgent alternative. He traces the history of how human societies broke from their pasts, broke from their environments, and broke from longstanding egalitarian values that sustained them, supplanting these with one imperative to rule all others: progress.
If humanity is to have any chance of a future, then we must fundamentally change the way we think about one of our most basic political ideas. This landmark work shows us where to begin.

'Progress explodes the great myth of our time. Lucid and wise' David Farrier, author of Footprints

How to Grow Up Without Becoming a Grown-Up
A guide to finding your way back to the joy, imagination, silliness, and creativity of being a childWhen we were children, we were imaginative, curious, confident, and loved without judgement. Now we are adults: neurotic, anxious, socially inept, and lonely. What did we lose when we grew up? How can we get it back?Creator and host of the viral, beloved show Recess Therapy, comedian, and former child Julian Shapiro-Barnum has spent the past four years talking to thousands of children: about love, anger, the environment, their love of corn, and every other curiosity under the sun.

Why reclaiming your imagination can make your life richer
How to bring a sense of wonder back to your work
Why sometimes breaking the rules is the right thing to doHow to Grow Up Without Becoming a Grown-Up is a guide for grown-ups on how to getting back in touch with a vital sense of play, with the silliness and pure joy you may have been missing lately.
