Little Ruins
AN iPAPER BEST NEW BOOK OUT IN AUGUST 2025 'Beautifully written and deeply moving' CLARE BALDING 'An important voice' CATHY RENTZENBRINK 'I devoured it in a day . . . An open-hearted book' CLOVER STROUD The Corner is a place where birds with broken wings will come to heal. Looking to begin a new chapter after years on the move, Manni Coe and his partner take a risk and buy 'The Corner', a crumbling but beautiful 150-year-old farmstead tucked into a remote valley in Andalusia, surrounded by olive trees. It's perfect for their unconventional family of three: Jack, Manni and his youngest brother, Reuben. Secluded from the village by a river and in awe of the extraordinary Spanish landscape, Manni watches their land teem with mountain goats and wild boar, red deer and seasonal swallows. He begins to feel that this might be the place where each of them will find their peace. But nothing is ever so simple. Though their hilltop village offers food, fellowship and guidance, many visitors bring their own problems and troubled pasts over the river. While Manni and Jack work to afford rebuilding The Corner, who will care for Reuben in the way that he deserves? And as Manni starts to realise that the scars from his childhood - kept hidden for all these years - might not have healed at all, a single, terrible event threatens everything the three of them have spent so long building together. From landscape and poetry to family and friendship, Little Ruins is a heart-mending exploration of human connection, nature's gifts and the power of love in all its forms.

From first moments to final steps, Shamiso is a thought-provoking, blazing work of modern existence and all its contradictions.

A Unified Theory of Evolution
"Human nature is the expression of all beings; a human being is the miniature of the universe." The author devoted himself more than 20 years to this book, in which he clearly proves a philosophical principle and also makes several critique comments on different theories regarding social problems we are now facing: what is the natural foundation of human subsistence or human phenomena? Why is the progression of civilization and its social development inevitably moving toward an endangering destination? And why are the mental attributes and knowledge system ultimately proved unhelpful or even appear negative in effect? In sum, it rings the alarm through an insightful mode of ultimate investigation for the self-important humanity, and it also foresees the coming of the cloud for the described bright future. Compared with Newton's theory of gravity, Einstein's theory of relativity applies to a more extensive range of space; similarly, compared with Darwin's theory of biological evolution, Dongyue's theory of weakening compensation applies to a more comprehensive range of human cognition. In other words, Einstein's theory of relativity is a massive expansion of Newton's theory of gravitation, and Dongyue's theory of weakening compensation is also a tremendous expansion of Darwin's theory of biological evolution. This philosophical monograph is in a demonstrative method with a unique style of language that is quite different from other works in this field, which makes the reading a challenge to many.

Humans Versus Humanity
This book is about the dire state of humanity, while humans are becoming less careful and concerned about this matter. Therefore, we are all, especially next generations, facing a gloomy prospect and societies will continue to fall deeper within the escalating impasse threatening their survival. This book is both a scientific and open discussion with humans about their choices. It is a book in 432 pages of objective analyses of our daily actions, feelings, and thoughts in line with our cultures and habits, while getting further lost within our fanciful, corruptible, and dispiriting lifestyles. We have limited choices, but making the right ones is everybody's duty at this critical point in human history. In particular, the way our leaders and scientists seem so helpless, useless, and lost to fathom the realities of life these days and the risks we are ignoring is simply too embarrassing and deplorable for a species that loves to brag about its intelligence all the time. Humans have now become both too idealist and pessimist about their place within society and the universe. They imagine perfect societies capable of fulfilling their fat egos, emotional needs, and fanciful lifestyles regularly. They also dream fervently about their chances of getting an even more exciting life in the heaven. Then again, almost everybody, including positive thinkers, narcissists, religious fanatics, and corrupt leaders often fight with their inner inklings about the vanity of their idealistic thoughts, ambitious goals, and superb visions of peaceful societies as well as humans' chances of immortality. Most of us often feel furtively how lost we are in our phony societies amongst too many weird humans with little grasp of humanity and its needs. Only a small group is too ignorant or hypnotized by social teachings and religions to miss the growing clues about humans' looming demise and how their tainted mentalities and lifestyles have been causing cruelty, corruption, and controversy throughout history, but much fiercer and sillier in the modern world. Perhaps humans have been only the first bunch of intelligent creatures god has planted on this planet on a trial basis! Maybe a new bunch of monkeys evolve and replace humans, but this time with an ability to use their brains with some humility to construct proper societies, honour humanity, and make god happy about His plan for creating an intelligent species finally materializing. Meanwhile, those monkeys would laugh their hearts out and think how stupid we had beenwhen they study our lousy solutions for existence, read our books, and judge our history as a symbol of dire idiocy. Then, they might even wonder why god had let those humans survive so long, suffer, and get sillier every generation! Surely, for this book to make any sense, one should trust one';s brain to think outside the box away from traditional customs and habits, prevalent ideologies and mottos, dire personal and national prejudices, na簿ve religious beliefs, etc. One must allow one's brain challenge and separate facts from fiction with objective reasoning in order to fathom life realities and understand one's place within the world even if it has to be outside the mainstream beliefs.
