Thomas Brown

Sir Thomas

Sir Thomas Browne (1605-82) was a writer of breathtaking range and learning, whose works demonstrate a warm and humorous view of human nature. Religio Medici is a fascinating, witty and intimate exploration of his views on faith and tolerance, while substantial selections from Pseudodoxia Epidemica display Browne's breadth of knowledge and omnivorous curiosity in his account of common errors in a startling array of subjects including sciences, history, literature and philosophy. Hydriotaphia or 'Urn Buriall' is an intriguing meditation on death and the desire for immortality, The Garden of Cyrus considers the mysterious order to be found in nature, and A Letter to a Friend and the aphoristic Christian Morals provide profound spiritual guidance to readers.

The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places... In a future of bleakness and roboticism, a totalitarian government enforces upon the people a lifestyle that lulls them into a state of obedience. Your career and social status are predestined and you cannot alter it - this is a reality that walks a fine line between evoking sensations of fear and inducing a sense of futility. A dystopian reality can sometimes turn out to be as powerful and strong as it can be fragile, collapsing in on itself from one second to the next. As a race, we are fascinated with what comes next, what's over the hill and, inevitably, what happens if we're left all alone. How can things go on? What lessons can we learn? Broken Worlds takes a peep into an all too possible future. Narration and style change from story to story, but the core of this volume is human emotion. Coloured by their cultures and backgrounds, the storytellers featured in this volume take the idea of a society at extremes and weave a variety of outcomes. We invite you to read and hope you enjoy this collection. The Sad Man by Thomas Brown (competition winner) From the fifth-floor window of his inner-city flat, a man keeps watch for his friend, the Sad Man. Pioneer by Joe Saxon Lidia lives in the waterworks, always hungry, until she receives a message from the supervisors of the upper floors. The Insects by Gavin Bryce Thia is a city with millions of electronic eyes. On his retirement day, Roman Huxley has planned a special retirement present for the entire megacity. Screens by Alix Owen A story inspired by the advent of Google Glass; when one young man contracts a biomechanical disease, he is forced to see what the world has become while everybody else was social networking. Machinations by Shira Hereld A marriage is slowly falling apart as both partners become more and more reliant on mechanical Andros for everything from housework to intimacy. The Architect by Gavin Haran A local obituarist tracks the sinister transformation of his town through the introduction of mysterious architectural constructions with unexpected consequences The Deepening Well by Sam Hurcom Can a state of mind be considered dystopian - how would the end of history affect the last survivng individual? 3AM Job by Mark Schultz On a future Earth, where absolute free market capitalism controls the globe, a freelance butcher accepts an early morning job which turns out to be far more profitable than it seems at first glance.

The presidency of John F. Kennedy and the man himself has been the subject of historical interpretation and revision in the years since his death. This book extract examines the major political events of Kennedy's presidency including the Cold War, the Vietnam War, the Cuban missile crisis as well as his decisions on foreign policy. Examination takes place from a revisionist interpretation which goes against the conventional positive image of Kennedy and looks at the former president with a new frame of reference.
