This powerful, important and inspiring work, written for the general reader, shows how our laws worldwide now are the largest and most comprehensive codes of conduct which we have and are our largest universal philosophy, essential for the future of humanity. Without these codes, without any laws or courts, societies would not survive and the survival of the human species itself would be put into question. But the world is now in crisis. The book is written for non-lawyers in all disciplines, from economists to corporate leaders, politicians to senior journalists and scientists, all over the world, as well as lawyers. It enables the reader for the first time, in one swoop, to understand the fundamentals of all our laws across every country in the world, which fields are working and which are not, and whether our laws can ward off an apocalypse or a catastrophe of our own making. Topics covered include the law relating to constitutions, democracies, rule of law, immigration, taxation, crime, regulation (including data protection, AI and banks), family, sex, inheritance, contracts (including derivatives), torts, litigation, property, markets, money, crypto, corporations, hedge funds, and the bankruptcy of corporations and sovereign states, as well as conflict of laws, public international law (including trade, the high seas, space and war), the history of law, and many other topics.

From the immersive and beautifully rendered 80s setting to the timeless themes of belonging and identity, Visitation is a captivating exploration of loss, longing and difference.

When cancer strikes generation after generation, is it fate or can you fight the odds? This book is my story, but it is a family affair: My father died of prostate cancer, my son has been diagnosed with it and my sister died of ovarian cancer (ongoing research appears to show a link). Like many other books, this is about the journey into the unknown world of prostate cancer: the ups and downs of a killer disease; needing to understand whether it singles out men at random, or whether it is a gene that is inherited, or just develops naturally. Is it a game of chance or can you change the odds? I hope this personal account can give you a window into the challenge of identifying prostate cancer before it happens or hope for those already on the journey. The book also contains personal accounts of three men, each of them very close friends of mine, who have had prostate cancer diagnoses. They describe their various treatments in the hope that it can help others understand their journey.
