The Dark Environmentalist
Climate change, characterized by escalating environmental crises such as droughts, storms, and melting ice sheets, forces both humans and animals to seek sustainable livelihoods in a world constrained by finite habitation spaces. The surge in global population exacerbates inequalities, with women and girls disproportionately burdened by the ensuing suffering. Nadia Begum, a woman from Bangladesh, emerges as a voice from the climate-affected delta region, proposing solutions in the face of a looming environmental crisis. Nadia, having experienced climate ravages, embarks on a mission to recalibrate global warming levels, envisioning a world where humanity serves as stewards of nature. The daunting challenge lies in overcoming entrenched interests, from billionaires hoarding wealth to corporations exploiting resources. She perceives herself as a supernatural force, wrestling with the thin line between visionary conviction and a descent into madness as she endeavours to shield the Earth from disintegration. In this complex narrative, the imperative for viable solutions to the pressing climate crisis remains urgent and paramount.

Maximum Credible Accident
When this book was first published in the 1980's, it was dramatised by BBC Radio. After only one episode, the Thatcher government tried to have it taken off air. The then heads of the BBC decided Maximum Credible Accident was 'factually correct and an essential element in the public debate' - and refused to censor it in any way. 'Imagine concentrating everything that scares you most about a conventional nuclear reactor, speeding it all up and immersing it in liquid that burns in air and explodes on contact with water. Then persuade yourself that nothing will ever go wrong with it: no terrorists, no Chernobyl, no Fukushima ... No Acts of God, no Murphy's Laws can be permitted.' In Maximum Credible Accident the decision about Britain's nuclear future is entrusted to a senior civil servant - Gordon Aylen, Whitehall and Washington determined to sway Aylen's decision -while unknown to him, a prototype Fast Breeder is running wild in Tuscany, beyond human control and beyond reach of any known fail-safe system.

The “I” and the “Eye”
The paradigmatic moment of the opposition between the verbal and the visual arts may be seen in Lessing's treatise on the Laocoön sculptural group, written in 1766; a moment that is identified within a historical framework of modern aesthetics that begins
The Red Knight
