ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING Forwarding a number of years, imagine an over-populated world having a problem with food and water shortages caused by Global warming. And with England now having a population of 240 million people, and climbing, and this being a real possibility of SOMETHING THAT COULD ACTUALLY HAPPEN, something needed to be done quickly in order to prevent the country from having its own food shortage, and starvation happening. So in order to prevent this happening, or worse, our future leaders, the Six Pack, would attempt to do this monumental task by freeing up more land to grow food crops, so had in a Speech, given many millions of people, eight years to move from their homes to make use of their land. And now with the clock running down those years, this story tells of five people, having all chosen to move to one small area of an already overcrowded Capitol City (London), now needing to live their lives in a vastly different society from the one they had previously known, so had needed to quickly come to terms and adapt to these changes. Having been either involved with romance, mystery, depression, murder, vengeance, hatred and violence, they would all have surprising tales to tell.

The life of Howard Johnson, nicknamed “Stretch” because of his height (6'5"), epitomizes the cultural and political odyssey of a generation of African Americans who transformed the United States from a closed society to a multiracial democracy. Johnson’s long-awaited memoir traces his path from firstborn of a multiclass/multiethnic” family in New Jersey to dancer in Harlem’s Cotton Club to communist youth leader and, later, professor of Black studies. A Dancer in the Revolution is a powerful statement about Black resilience and triumph amid subtle and explicit racism in the United States. Johnson’s engaging, beautifully written memoir provides a window into everyday life in Harlem—neighborhood life, arts and culture, and politics—from the 1930s to the 1970s, when the contemporary Black community was being formed. A Dancer in the Revolution explores Johnson’s twenty-plus years in the Communist Party and illuminates in compelling detail how the Harlem branch functioned and flourished in the 1930s and ’40s. Johnson thrived as a charismatic leader, using the connections he built up as an athlete and dancer to create alliances between communist organizations and a cross-section of the Black community. In his memoir, Johnson also exposes the homoerotic tourism that was a feature of Harlem’s nightlife in the 1930s. Some of America’s leading white literary, musical, and artistic figures were attracted to Harlem not only for the community’s artistic creativity but to engage in illicit sex—gay and straight—with their Black counterparts. A Dancer in the Revolution is an invaluable contribution to the literature on Black political thought and pragmatism. It reveals the unique place that Black dancers and artists hold in civil rights pursuits and anti-racism campaigns in the United States and beyond. Moreover, the life of “Stretch” Johnson illustrates how political activism engenders not only social change but also personal fulfillment, a realization of dreams not deferred but rather pursued and achieved. Johnson’s journey bears witness to critical periods and events that shaped the Black condition and American society in the process.

All He Left Me Was a Recipe is a book of part-fact, part-fiction essays by actor and travel vlogger Shenaz Treasury about all the men who have been a part of, or influenced, her life in some way. The men whose roles have morphed between her best friends, lovers, teachers, fathers, sons and boyfriends. From when she was 3 to this very moment. The men she's laughed with, cried with, shared food with, had adventures with, travelled the world with.
