From Democracy to Biocracy
In his second book W. Thomson Martin brings together the liberating force of outrage in service to life with the meditative rhythms of connecting to nature --- plants, animals, rivers and mountains. In the tradition of Thomas Berry and Joanna Macy, Tom inspires the reader to explore healing trails that can lead us from self-destructive behaviour to a healthier way of being human.From encounters with bears and foxes to the intricacies of biocratic urban design, this book in equal measure inspires, guides and restores courage and spirit....
The Obama Tribe Explorer, James Martin's Biography
The story of the adventurous life of James Martin, who was the first Westerner to make contact with Barak Obama's Luo tribe in Kenya in 1883. Obama's grandfather's generation took advantage of the opportunities the white man brought. Martin, originally from Malta, also founded Nairobi and explored East Africa just after David Livingstone had died. He was ship wrecked twice and was the first white game hunter in Africa. He spoke several East African languages and was well able to communicate with the locals, which eventually led him to administer large areas for the British Government. He achieved much despite being dyslexic and illiterate, which make his achievements all the more notable. His vulnerability and human qualities made him a well know character of his times. His life work helps us understand early development and the times of East Africa and Zanzibar. It explains the advantages Obama had, which led to his success as becoming the first black US president.

The Bluff Detector
ABOUT THE BOOK: Thomson Martin writes: "My book is an unfolding of my soul. In these pages I travel from my early attachments to the Christian tradition to a much wider, open and fresh place. Here and there from among the pages a trickster may appear in the form of a bluff detector. The trickster giggles." ABOUT THE AUTHOR: W. THOMSON MARTIN is a retired microbiologist. Born in Northern Ireland, he now lives in Victoria, BC, Canada. REVIEWS "We are in a transitional time in our history, and our potential as humans is undergoing transformations that will yield new, hybrid ways of being human and living in the world. This is the precise territory of Tom Martin's book, and he maps it carefully and with incredibly subtle precision." -- John Lent, author of Cantilevered Songs and So It Won't Go Away "Inside The Bluff Detector you will taste choice dishes from all parts of the world, from many fields, and many times, prepared by different hands. Bring something of your own and share in the feast - but be warned: it's not always a picnic..." -- Iain Marrs, editor and homeopath
Merchants and Revolution
Merchants and Revolution examines the activities of London's merchant community during the early Stuart period. Proposing a new understanding of long-term commercial change, Robert Brenner explains the factors behind the opening of long-distance commerce to the south and east, describing how the great City merchants wielded power to exploit emerging business opportunities, and he profiles the new colonial traders, who became the chief architects of the Commonwealth's dynamic commercial policy.
