An in depth look at some major events of the modern era that may not be quite what those in power would have us believe. How governments and the Secret Service cover up embarrassing murders and assassinations with hastily convened enquiries that always return the correct verdict. Correct for those in power at the time. How causes celebre are hi-jacked so that even more taxes can be extracted and even more control placed on the population. 9/11, Pearl Harbour, JFK, Princess Diana, Pope John Paul, David Kelly, Global Warming, the Credit Crisis, Terrorism and the Holocaust are all given a close examination. The results may not be what you previously believed.

The stone ruins of the Nyanga area of eastern Zimbabwe have intrigued observers since they were first reported to the outside world at the end of the 19th century. The early fanciful speculations about their meaning have been gradually tempered over the years by the findings of systematic archaeological research, culminating in the project recently completed by the British Institute in Eastern Africa and the University of Zimbabwe. The first stages of the Nyanga complex were established between the 13th and 14th century AD, on some of the highest peaks of the region. Subsequent stages saw a gradual expansion downhill, with the construction of multiple stone terraces, cattle pens, and settlements. In this book, Robert Soper and his colleagues sets out the accumulated evidence for the Nyanga complex as far as we now know it. Overall, the Nyanga sequence raises obvious questions about environmental changes and climatic fluctuations during the last millennium. More particularly, the various stages begin to reveal how the local farming community grappled with these changes, including those induced by its own intensive use of the landscape and its resources.
