Human Model
In Human Model, Dr. Issam Wadi summarises and explains more than 40 years of professional and academic research into human and social behaviour. He examines important aspects in our lives by showing how human and social systems are deeply influenced by universal, natural processes. He shows how research in the natural and social sciences can help to illuminate complex human processes, using friction theory to explain how human beings relate to one another, how resonance theory provides us with a better understanding of mass behaviour, advertising, and marketing, and how feedback theory explains human behaviour from a management perspective.
Drawing these parallels between natural and human systems helps to illustrate the way that human beings are embedded within larger, natural processes, as well as supplying a much clearer and easy to understand approach for readers and researchers. With the starting blocks in place, one can then begin to use proven scientific theories and social models to develop more sophisticated analyses and studies of complex social behaviour, from mass movements and crowd psychology to financial markets and economic forecasting.
This book is an important milestone in the modelling and understanding of human social behaviour and aims to contribute both to a broader mainstream understanding of these fields and further research through these versatile social modelling tools. Human Model also explains the author’s own ‘Zero Sum Theory’ for explaining happiness in life and how this can be affected by the individual’s own mental models, while providing further reflections on the impact of technology on modern life, social behaviour, the family, and society more broadly.

Let the Souls of Our Children Sing
As the stigma and taboos around mental health issues soften, unparalleled numbers of people are seeking counselling, psychotherapy and life coaching. Millions of viewers are transfixed to the emotional traumas played out in reality TV shows, soaps and dramas such as Homecoming, The Bodyguard and Wanderlust. As part of this awakening to the importance of emotional well-being, many parents, educators and carers of the young are bravely attending to their own wounds and are now more determined than ever to mitigate the wounding of the children in their care.
Langley believes that the greatest impediment to young people's development as free-thinking, spiritually-enlightened and emotionally-responsive, integrated human beings is that mainstream education is still based on a nineteenth-century model emphasising cognition and logic, which can be counted and measured, over the enrichment of children's souls which is beyond measure. The existing anachronistic structure desperately needs a new paradigm. At a time when arts education is seen as an increasingly marginal activity in state schooling, she argues that it is only by putting children's innate creativity and curiosity at the heart of our educational mission that we can hope to re-engage the vast number of young people switched off from the current system and avoid the poverty of imagination and the absence of hope which are the root causes of so many contemporary ills.

Receiving Your Personal Truth
Our contemporary world is experiencing a crisis in facts and truth. Conflicting messages or fake news bombard us every day, about religion, politics, and COVID-19 and vaccinations. The daily newspaper, internet news, websites, and social media all compete for our attention, and quite often each insisting on their version of the facts. Made-up news and distorted information, create confusion and a distrust in various religious and political institutions.
How do we know what is true when watching the news, listening to elected officials and religious leaders, or using social media? Who is telling the truth? How can we know? What can we do?
In Receiving your Personal Truth, you are taken on a journey where you experience what is truth for yourself. Practical ways of receiving your truth are suggested. The skill of awareness and self-critical thinking enables us to understand what is true and what is false. In observing that we are one with oneness of it all, we act with compassion towards everyone.

The Aftermath
After a decade of graduate studies in the US, he returned to a homeland transformed—not for the better. The once pristine landscapes were now marred by environmental degradation and polluted waterways. With water becoming a scarce resource, the rural communities who depended heavily on fuelwood stood at a precarious juncture. Urban centers, once bustling with life, now languished in squalor. More disturbingly, he observed a pollution of the mind: those who should have been stewards of the earth were either indifferent or alarmingly unaware. They failed to see the broader implications of their actions. Determined to make a difference, he began advocating for the earth’s restoration, emphasizing its vital significance. After all, the earth is our shared home, and neglecting it risks the future of us all.

The Diaspora Dilemma
The African diaspora have been subjected to oppression for decades since the end of the transatlantic slave trade. In recent times this oppression has been most visible in the form of live killing and murder executed by law enforcement officers. However, the extent of the problems that face people of colour in the West are not limited to police brutality; the challenges are much broader spanning across every area of society: from politics and law to health and housing to economics and entrainment. Not only are the challenges wide-ranging, they are often interconnected.
Following the death of George Floyd and the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, for the first-time people from all walks of life in the West stood up together to push back against racial oppression. This book provides an overview of the key challenges facing the African Diaspora, how things can be improved, and how they are related.

The N Word
Through The N Word, author Daniella Maison reveals the historical and present-day effects and ramifications of using the N word in modern language. In this book, Maison argues that the N word cannot be neutered, deemed unsullied, or recast as an innocent street idiom. Aimed at a generation who have incorporated the term into their everyday dialogue, Maison expounds the argument for boycotting the word completely. Whether you are undecided, a proud user of the word, or simply intrigued by the debate, The N Word offers a hard-hitting, insightful expose of a current issue that is right on time in the wake of the global Black Lives Matter movement.
“Truly superb writing.”
- Dali Tambo“Daniella Maison’s ground-breaking publication helps to demystify the term and its impact on young people who live on social media. This book is a great resource to challenge the 'N word' for schools and youth club settings. As the late Bob Marley said we must free our minds from mental slavery, sadly the 'N word' is still part of the ongoing process of reclaiming our human rights and respect for all.”
- Patrick Vernon OBE, founder of Every Generation and 100 Great Black Britons

The Future of Mankind: In All Things a Happy Medium
As mankind is moving onto the next stage of its evolution, spiritual maturity in order to reach balance, which will be a golden age, human beings will have to choose, with a united voice, to transcend the current paradigm of division and violence. It is thus paramount that each individual understands his or her role for the advent of this future. There are decisions to be made at two levels: collective action and individual action. At the collective level, we must end wars and rethink some legalizations.
At the individual level, which is the main focus of this book, emphasis is put on each person’s ability to contribute to collective progress by listening to one’s inner voice and by overcoming the social constructions that enchain people’s minds. Often times, different fears prevent us from being ourselves and different preconceived ideas lead us to believe that there might not be enough resources for all or that others might be an obstacle to our wellbeing. The author is inviting the reader to overcome these personal challenges in order for all of us to feel better.

The Matrix of the Mind
There are many phenomena in the current world that defy explanation from mainstream science. This book introduces a revolutionary concept, Matrix Model Theory, which provides a simple, unique and original insight into the events that led to the formation of the cosmos and the establishment of the planet Earth with its life-sustaining environment. The theory further provides an alternative explanation as to how life originated, how mankind became established and describes the most amazing event of all that occurred, i.e., the technological evolution of the human mind. The book, using Matrix Model Theory, explains how the first living cell evolved survived and was able to replicate. The phenomenon of telepathy is examined, and research by several reputable institutions have established that telepathy does exist and has been proven. Its function is explained by the theory. Although not a useful faculty, it provides a valuable insight into the functioning of the human (and animal) mind.
Matrix Model Theory also explains a wide range of animal behaviour including how a hive of bees can function as a ‘super organism’ which means that the bees sometimes behave as though they are partially under the influence of a single mind. Similarly, termites have the amazing ability to coordinate the construction of complex tunnels within their nests. Although blind, they seem to be from the same blueprint. This book is targeted at the general reader who has an enquiring mind and refers to scientific matters that have been explained in easily readable terms.
