A Danish filmmaker, under the apprenticeship of three Papua New Guinean master sailors, set off from Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea, on the 30th of August 2016 on a world-record circumnavigation of the island of New Guinea in a traditional sailing canoe called the Tawali Pasana. Over the course of 13 months and 21 days - and some 6300 km of high adventure - what became known as ‘the fellowship of the Tawali Pasana' created a modern-day odyssey (on a shoestring budget) battling relentless monsoon winds, dangerous seas, pirates and crocodiles. Prevailing against all the odds, the voyage generated enormous media coverage and inspired the young people of New Guinea to celebrate their extraordinary seafaring culture. "Sailing a traditional outrigger canoe around the vast island of New Guinea is a journey through time, across myriad cultures upon the far-flung seas of Arafura, Seram, Bismarck, and the Pacific Ocean. Thor's voyage shows that, in the 21st Century, there are still great adventures!" Peter Hillary "The very first circumnavigation of New Guinea in a traditional sailing canoe again illustrates, as my father auspiciously once said, "To travel, to experience and learn ... that is to live." Norbu Tenzing Norgay "Thor's adventure is an encouragement to anyone who - dares to do." Sarah Outen

The Dictator holds both a fascination and a revulsion for humanity. He - and the dictator must be male - commands a place in society that few democratically elected leaders can attain. He gets his picture on the front pages of influential magazines. He can murder his own people and get away with the crime. He can enrich himself on the backs of his people, and not only get away with the theft, but find that they turn a blind eye to the wholesale looting of their country. This book provides some useful tips for the man who aspires to the top job that rewards like no other. It outlines how to overthrow an empire by the use of religion. The work also demonstrates how to undermine a democracy and replace it with a dictatorship. It illustrates how the correct title should be used to get the masses on board. It offers tips on the retention of power for life, and the mistakes to avoid in that permanent role. Most importantly, the guide proves that men are led by words, but governed by ideology. Rule of the people is not based on the actualities of power, but rather on its perception. The Dictator who can convince the people that they are living in a paradise fit for heroes can look forward to a happy life at the top, and dying peacefully in his bed. The Dictator will always be with us because he is part of our past, our present, and our future. He is part of us because he represents human nature. The Dictator is the dark half of the human psyche. John Rainsford.

Few question seriously whether or not we live in a good society. Fewer still dare to delve in and ask those awkward questions which belie answers that we perhaps do not wish to hear. It is frequently taken as read that the goal of this identity is to render happiness to the maximum number of citizens. But are the values on which it bases its endeavour conducive to such a state? If so then why do so many complain of a deep sense of existential emptiness? Here the author takes an uncompromising look at the individual and how his interactions with an apparently benevolent force appear to present him with an ever greater sense of futility.

When Matt Adams, a much-decorated army veteran, is offered the job of infiltrating and spying on a revolutionary party, he jumps at the offer.

President Wolf is flourishing, despite his cruel, vindictive nature. He disbands Congress and bans all media outlets, declaring himself president for life and effectively creating a totalitarian state.

When Matt discovers the President's intentions, he has a stark choice. He can do nothing and watch as the President destroys all hope for current and future humanity, or he can become a Wolf Slayer and help to save the Second Chance and avert war...
