|rating=3.5

|summary=''Why does mass protest continually fail to fundamentally change thedirection of the modern world?''
 
This is the question Eshman Smith asks in Word of an Other Nature. He's right to wonder since we as humans often seem to be making a pretty bad job of our efforts to create a world of peace, stability and prosperity for all.

|summary=It was December and Esther Rutter was stuck in her office job, writing to people she'd never met and preparing spreadsheets. The job frustrated her and even her knitting did not soothe her mind. January was going to be a time for making changes and she decided that she would travel the length and breadth of the British Isles with occasional forays abroad, discovering and telling the story of wool's history and how it had made and changed the landscape. She'd grown up on a sheep farm in Suffolk - '' a free-range child on the farm'' - and learned to spin, knit and weave from her mother and her mother's friend. This was in her blood.

|title=How to Lose a Country: The 7 Steps from Democracy to Dictatorship
|author=Ece Temelkuran
|rating=4.5
|genre=Autobiography
|summary=A little while ago a friend asked me if I thought that we were living through what in years to come would be discussed by A level history students when faced with the question ''Discuss the factors which led to...'' I agreed that she was right and wasn't certain whether it was a good or bad thing that we didn't know what all 'this' was leading to. I think now that I do know. We are in danger of losing democracy and whilst it's a flawed system I can't think of a better one, particularly as the 'benevolent dictator' is as rare as hen's teeth.
