A washed up TV reporter stumbles onto a corruption scandal in Western China. Pursued through the desert by a psychotic spin-doctor and a world-weary cop, he discovers the real China: illegal metal mines, a fashion-crazed gang of girl bikers, a whole commune of Tiananmen Square survivors and the up-market sleaze-joints of Beijing. En route, he clashes with a stellar cast of people-traffickers, prostitutes and TV execs. But then the unquiet dead begin to intervene: ghosts from his own past and the past of Chinese Communism; the 'spirits that hover three feet above our heads' of Chinese folklore.

This ground-breaking biography of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi - the ONLY one of its kind - telling the story of Maharishi and the spread of Transcendental Meditation, is now available by popular demand, in a new, revised, re-invigorated, expanded, up-to-date illustrated paperback version. In this comprehensive biography Paul Mason describes the early days of Maharishi's teachings in the 1950s, the popularization of TM through the 1960's, the presentation of TM in specifically scientific terms, the introduction of the Science of Creative Intelligence (SCI) as well as the introduction of the lesser known aspects of the world's oldest system of healthcare - Ayurveda, and other ancient Indian sciences hitherto almost unheard of that evidently served to enhance the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, and finally the attempts to enter mainstream politics with the Natural Law Party. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, a very famous son of India, leapt to prominence in the 1960s when his teaching of Transcendental Meditation (TM) and his widely-reported involvement with The Beatles and the Beach Boys provoked reactions from reverence to awe as a singular Indian monk from the Himalayas took the world by storm, having arrived on Western shores with nothing but good intentions. Painstakingly researched, and objectively presented, Paul Mason takes us behind the scenes, drawing on scarce and previously unpublished material. Much more than just a biography, this is a seminal enquiry that draws readers into a more meaningful understanding of their own lives through a deeper look into the aims and methods of Maharishi's organisations. We are taken deep into the Indian tradition of the Vedic scriptures, the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. This work is also a celebration of Maharishi's life and his initiative to share his very original style of thinking, offering fresh perspectives on age-old themes, and massive optimism for progress and happiness. It is thought that this completely refreshed account of Maharishi's life will be of great interest to all readers, meditators and non-meditators alike.

Do autor de Pós-capitalismo e Um futuro livre e radioso, um manual para resistir coletivamente ao avanço da extrema-direita. Das cinzas de um mundo destroçado por uma pandemia, temos a oportunidade única de criar uma sociedade mais justa e igualitária. Para isso, temos de nos perguntar: em que mundo queremos viver? E o que estamos dispostos a fazer? Plano Nacional de Leitura Ensaio - Maiores de 18 anos Num momento de tensão geopolítica e de incerteza económica global, uma ideia transforma-se em evidência: o fascismo não é uma coisa do passado. À medida que a situação da Humanidade se agrava, os movimentos de extrema-direita ganham força, como um pesadelo coletivo recorrente. Para combater este sistema, temos de compreender o seu percurso, as suas raízes psicológicas na sociedade, a teoria política que lhe dá forma e as condições que o permitem. Acima de tudo, diz Mason, temos de entender o fascismo como um sintoma do inquestionável falhanço do capitalismo. Em Como travar o fascismo , Paul Mason, jornalista, professor universitário e ativista britânico, conta a história deste fenómeno político, faz um retrato arrepiante do seu movimento contemporâneo e traça um plano radical e otimista para derrotar a extrema-direita no século XXI. Os elogios da crítica: «Pela sua profundidade histórica, vitalidade analítica e potencial de mobilização, este livro é inigualável. Como travar o fascismo é um alerta visceral sobre o que está aqui em jogo, e todas as páginas são um apelo urgente à resistência.» — David Lammy, Membro Do Parlamento Britânico «Paul Mason defende a necessidade de um movimento político antifascista mais amplo, algo que pareceria radical há dez anos, mas que se configura, hoje, como urgente. A história relembra-nos que não estamos livres do risco de viver sob o jugo do fascismo. Pode acontecer em qualquer lado.» — Angela Saini, autora de Superior: The Return Of Race Science. «Como travar o fascismo, de Paul Mason, é absolutamente útil... A sua definição do fenómeno capturou por completo a minha atenção. Uma ferramenta indispensável.» — The National «Um trabalho erudito, relevante para todos aqueles que procurem as origens do fascismo ou que vejam em Trump, Bolsonaro e nos movimentos de extrema-direita um pouco por toda a Europa um presságio do regresso da Humanidade aos seus momentos mais negros.» — The Irish Times

Los pilares del modelo capitalista se están derrumbando. Por una parte, el triunfo del neoliberalismo ha minimizado a la clase obrera como agente del cambio político y económico y, por otra, los cambios en las técnicas productivas producidos a raíz del avance de las tecnologías de la información están destruyendo el mecanismo de fijación de los precios y el concepto de valor económico. A lo largo de este innovador libro, Paul Mason nos ofrece una amplia panorámica de la historia del capitalismo, mientras sostiene que está condenado a morir y que dará paso a algo completamente nuevo: el postcapitalismo.
