'Highly readable ... Everything we need to know on this subject' Financial Times 'Fascinating' Geographical Magazine 'A must read for anyone wanting to understand the forces shaping our world' Eliza Filby 'A compelling argument for having more children' New Statesman A population calamity is unfolding before our eyes. It started in parts of the developed world and is spreading to the four corners of the globe. There are just too few babies being born for humanity to replace itself. Leading demographer Paul Morland argues that the consequences of this promise to be calamitous. Labour shortages, pensions crises and ballooning debt threaten to engulf us all, and sooner than we think. Unless we radically change our attitudes towards parenthood and embrace a new progressive pro-natalism, argues Morland, we face disaster. Autorid: Paul Morland

Tracing the final 30 years of Michelangelos career, this book examines how the great master used art and faith to explore the common human experience of ageing in a rapidly changing world. This fascinating and beautifully illustrated catalogue demonstrates the creativity of Michelangelos late years in a way that is both accessible and scholarly. Jill Burke, author of How to be a Renaissance Woman and The Italian Renaissance Nude Michelangelo Buonarroti (14751564) was one of the greatest artists of the Renaissance. He was not the isolated, tortured genius of artistic myth, but a man who maintained a close circle of friends and associates into old age. He developed collaborative working relationships with younger artists, thereby maintaining his fame and reputation even as he aged, relinquishing the hardest physical work to others. His late drawings offer a powerful insight into his psychology, reflecting his Catholic faith, his commanding intellectual engagement and his hope for eternal life. Michelangelo reimagined the iconography of religious art to create hugely influential compositions of key moments in Christian faith, such as the Crucifixion, the Last Judgment and the Pietà (or Lamentation). He was involved in designing several significant sites in Rome at this time including his key architectural project, the immense challenge of rebuilding St Peters, at the very heart of Christianity. His role as an architect is explored through beautiful drawings, highlighting his range as a designer. Alongside his major commissions he created deeply personal drawings revisiting earlier compositions to explore intensely moving Crucifixions that served as spiritual meditations on Christs death and offered the hope of salvation for an elderly man facing the end of his own long life. Built on the British Museums extraordinary collection of drawings, this book explores Michelangelos relationships and late creativity to go beyond the towering Renaissance master known today.

This fresh perspective on crucial questions of history identifies the root metaphors that cultures have used to construct meaning in their world. It offers a glimpse into the minds of a vast range of different peoples: early hunter-gatherers and farmers, ancient Egyptians, traditional Chinese sages, the founders of Christianity, trail-blazers of the Scientific Revolution, and those who constructed our modern consumer society.Taking the reader on an archaeological exploration of the mind, the author, an entrepreneur and sustainability leader, uses recent findings in cognitive science and systems theory to reveal the hidden layers of values that form today's cultural norms. Uprooting the tired clichés of the science-religion debate, he shows how medieval Christian rationalism acted as an incubator for scientific thought, which in turn shaped our modern vision of the conquest of nature. The author probes our current crisis of unsustainability and argues that it is not an inevitable result of human nature, but is culturally driven: a product of particular mental patterns that could conceivably be reshaped. By shining a light on our possible futures, the book foresees a coming struggle between two contrasting views of humanity: one driving to a technological endgame of artificially enhanced humans, the other enabling a sustainable future arising from our intrinsic connectedness with each other and the natural world. This struggle, it concludes, is one in which each of us will play a role through the meaning we choose to forge from the lives we lead.
A groundbreaking guide from trusted teacher Andrew Holecek on dark retreat-the Buddhist meditative practice of being in complete darkness. We need darkness as much as we need light. Yet we live in a distracted age that privileges light and marginalizes darkness. Beloved author Andrew Holecek shows that light doesn't always reveal-it often conceals. With this groundbreaking book, he introduces readers to the ancient practice of dark retreats, a previously secret practice that invites spiritual seekers to remain in complete darkness without any external distractions. Dark retreats invite profound self-reflection-dropping practitioners into deeper understanding of themselves, uncovering new levels of mindfulness and meditation, and illuminating new dimensions of being. "Darkness is a truthteller," writes Holecek. "Darkness is exacting. The question to reflect upon is how willing are you to be exposed?" In this book, Holecek invites readers to reconnect with darkness and rediscover its many benefits. He introduces readers to the ancient wisdom of dark immersion, providing step-by-step guidance to help them determine if this practice is right for them, how to practice it safely, what kinds of challenges arise from the practice, and how to integrate its insights. Full of wisdom teachings, easy home practice, checklists, and his own stories of over thirty years of dark retreat practice, Holecek makes this ancient practice accessible for our modern age, reintegrating darkness into our light-polluted lives.
