"Designed by Providence was a manuscript uncovered by the author's son and grandson many years after it was first written. As it was never intended for publication, the work has an intimate, personal tone. It is a tribute to early British literature but is set within a post-war context. It tells of a man who, on the way to London, makes an unscheduled stop in the town of Lambton. This unexpected visitor is greeted with mixed hospitality, but his presence nonetheless has an affect on the town and its future. A thematic element in the story is the interesting relationship between time atnd words, words and a machine. The author offers insightful thoughts on what this relationship means and how it applies to modern society"
"The discovery of the Sutton Hoo shook England by its core. The graves, jewelry, craftsmanship, are all remnants of the people who once lived on the land. The largely mysterious history of the Anglo-Saxons was finally solved in the discovery of the two large cemeteries by Basil Brown in 1938. This book provides insight on the importance of this archaeological site on our understanding of the kingdoms that once ruled here, and the effects of this place and civilization to the civilizations around it. The chapters cover the discovery of the Sutton Hoo, its impact on our understanding of early England, the detailed investigations of this site, and its influence on our culture today. The waves made by the Sutton Hoo cemeteries revolutionized how we understand early European history and are still felt to this day."
"For tens of thousands of years, indigenous North American people have developed critical relationships with the stars, planets, and galaxies, from intelligent observation to navigation, celestial architecture and sustainable engineering. The indigenous North American people viewed the sun, the moon, and the stars as a way to integrate human behaviour and nature. Celestial objects were believed to reveal the fundamental order of the world. This book discusses the extent and importance that cosmology held within the Indigenous North American culture, how the beliefs differed between indigenous groups, and its significance in shaping our understanding of astronomy and cosmology today."
"The advent of digital technology gives rise to a world within our very own screens. Many often think that these worlds are entirely different from their everyday lives. However many often blur the line between reality and the internet. The creation of the dark web facilitated this "blurry line" as crime has become available to screens, and at a click of a button, illegal items and goods get delivered to your doorstep. The dark web has its reputation for being a shady place. However, could it be used for good? And what makes it so bad anyway? All of these concepts will be explored throughout The Dark Web: The Enigmatic Digital World."

"The Stigma and Societal Conflicts of People with Physical Disabilities examines society's perception of individuals with physical impairments, limitations in activities, and/or limited social participation and highlights the assumptions and marginalizing attitudes revolving around them. It shows how mental disorders can develop due to society's behaviour towards those with disabilities and how to properly respect and honour their fundamental human rights. Society must adopt a "temporarily able-bodied" attitude to deter stigma against individuals with disabilities and increase empathy to ultimately benefit all people."
