Most people know of Arthur Ransome, the author of the classic children`s sailing tale, Swallows & Amazons, & many other books in the same series. But besides his exciting tales of children on the water there is much more to the man. Before he wrote Swallows & Amazons, Ransome was a journalist for the Daily News, based in Russia. He is reputed to have played chess against Lenin & he married Trotsky`s secretary. He cruised extensively in the Baltic in the 1920s on board his beloved Racundra. His account of his first cruise on that boat was his first commercially successful book, Racundra`s First Cruise (also available from Fernhurst Books). The second cruise was spoilt by bad weather, but the third cruise was different
- it was his honeymoon having married Evgenia Shelepina. Ransome clearly intended to publish the account of this cruise, but never finished it. Ransome enthusiast, Brian Hammett, got hold of the unpublished manuscript & found Ransome`s h&-written notes, diaries, logbooks & photographs in the Ransome archive at Leeds University. Brian compiled this book, adding his own notes from his cruises in the same area. The result is a glorious volume which has delighted Ransome enthusiasts, sailors & landlubbers equally. This new paperback edition & e Book will be published on 8th May
- the very day that Ransome & Shelepina got married in 1924 before their honeymoon cruise which is recounted in this book.

Arguably the most decisive shift in the history of ideas in modern times was the complete demolition during the late seventeenth & eighteenth centuries
- in the wake of the Scientific Revolution
- of traditional structures of authority, scientific thought, & belief, by the new philosophy & the philosophies, culminating in Voltaire, Diderot, & Rousseau. In this revolutionary process which effectively overthrew all justification for monarchy, aristocracy, slavery, & ecclesiastical authority, as well as man`s asendancy over woman & theology`s domination over education & study, substituting the modern principles of equality, democracy, & universality, the Radical Enlightenment played a crucially important part. Despite the present-day interest in the revolutions of the late eighteenth century, the origins & rise of the Radical Enlightenment have been astonishingly little studied, doubtless largely because if its very wide international sweep & the obvious difficulties of fitting it into the restrictive conventions of `national history` which until recently tended to dominate all historiography. The greatest obstacle to the Radical Enlightenment finding its proper place in modern historical writing is simply that it was not French, British, German, Italian, Jewish or Dutch, but all of these at the same time. In this novel interpretation of the Radical Enlightenment down to La Mettrie & Diderot, two of its key exponents, particular stress is placed on the pivotal role of Spinoza & the widespread underground international philosophical movement known before 1750 as Spinozism.

A piercing & hard-hitting treatise that explores the menacing rise of a radical ideology that is fueling ISIS & terror cells worldwide. More than thirteen years ago after the ” War on Terror” was declared, many in the West now feel less secure than ever before. Many security experts believe global Jihad is on the rise throughout the West, & yet these same experts do not know how to stop the rising tide. Military action abroad & police action at home have only attended to the symptoms of terrorism, not the cause. The root, according to Dr. Ibrahim, is actually the extreme ideology of Wahhabism--the puritanical, reactionary, isolationist, xenophobic, & bigoted sect of Sunni Islam that has been the ideological bedrock of the state of Saudi Arabia since its original rise in the 18th Century. Foreign policy, socio-economic factors, alienation, & identity are often invoked in explaining the rise in radicalization, & while they do have a role to play, these are secondary factors. The primary cause is ideology. & it is on the march. In Radical Origins, Dr. Ibrahim will provide an accessible primer on radicalism, an understanding of jihadist history, & a way forward, debunking misconceptions about Islam & this jihadist offshoot along the way. This remarkable work culminates in a powerful body of evidence about how to contain, reduce, & stop the spread of radicalization once & for all. ...
