Plastics
A decade to save the planet. That's the current call to arms. Targets are set, governments vow to do their bit and on a societal level we are encouraged to do ours by choosing to forego all things plastic. The question is whether this is the right decision or are we inadvertently at risk of doing more harm than good? Are there other factors in play needing equal consideration? The book will follow the story of plastic, and to an extent rubber (known collectively as polymers), and all with an eye to the overarching theme of the environment. It will ask some challenging questions but also sets out to inform. It begins by building a picture. Just what exactly is a plastic, how did it gain such a dominant role in our lives? Are recent denouncements fully justified? By better understanding plastics, a clearer opinion can be formed of their usefulness and their potential to alleviate serious environmental concerns.
Plastics: Just a Load of Rubbish?
Are plastics really the enemy in our fight to save the planet?
Strange Superstitions and Curious Customs of the Ancient World
A compilation of the oddest, most eccentric and truly bizarre customs, laws and superstitions of our forefathers. The people of Cathay demanded such a huge level of respect by children towards their parents that a specific department of state existed solely to punish those upsetting their parents in any way! People through the ages have had their own particular customs and traditions and have always looked with some amusement on those of their neighbours. These customs can evolve and change radically, and traditions which were commonplace 2,000 years ago now appear bizarre or hilarious. This book transcends eras and cultures by uniting them with the common theme of superstition and custom, proving that perhaps we are not so fundamentally different from our most ancient ancestors, no matter how sophisticated we think ourselves.

O Segundo Processo
No alto, o juiz. Embaixo, os advogados. Todos de toga ou bem vestidos, dizendo palavras difíceis. Num dos lados, o autor. No outro, o réu. Cada qual com a sua história, as suas raivas, os seus medos. Nas paredes pode estar um crucifixo. Na mesa, livros e tablets. As cadeiras seguindo uma ordem. As paredes numa certa cor. A todo instante, olhares se vigiando, dedos se mexendo, sorrisos sinceros e falsos. Máscaras, trejeitos, cacoetes. Cada corpo produzindo um gesto. Cada gesto, uma mensagem. Cada mensagem, um efeito. Qual a função deste cenário? A que serve tudo isto? O que é, afinal, um processo? O que nos dizem os símbolos da Justiça? Pode ela esconder o seu oposto? Quais os segre...
