Iain McGilchrist addresses some of the hardest questions humanity faces - Who are we? What is the world? How can we understand consciousness, matter, space and time? Following neurology, philosophy and physics, McGilchrist leads us to a vision of the world that is profound and beautiful - in line with the deepest traditions of human wisdom.

How is activism entangled in the problems it seeks to solve? After years of thinking that her task was to 'get the bastards,' campaigner, writer and reporter Anthea Lawson shows that understanding our concerns with activism can be a gateway to discovering what really needs to change.

A comprehensive account of 'waking up' to the realities of climate crisis, social breakdown and personal agency and a coherent and radical alternative to current socio-political turbulence.

This book contemplates current crises guided by a core Buddhist teaching. Tightly held ideas from 'the enlightenment' - rationality, individuality, equality and secularity - are considered as sources of suffering. Freedom lies in seeing where these views have become dogmas, feeding cultural addiction to certainty and control.

Fourteen leading metamodern writers create and inspire viable and desirable futures in this time between worlds, where one pattern of collective life is dying and another needs our help to be born.
