The literature on the 'developing world' is dominated by narratives of state failure, but few analysts have, until now, addressed why some of them turn it around.

In a battle for Tir Nan Og, the Land of the Young, Sláine, the former High King of Ireland, faces the formidable Sea Devils threatening his tribe. The story unfolds with Sláine's struggle to defend his people against this new wave of malevolence, showcasing themes of bravery and leadership in the face of adversity. As ancient legends come to life, readers are drawn into a rich tapestry of myth and adventure.

Distinguished politicians and scholars advocate the need for a 'democratic playbook' robust enough to withstand threats to free and fair elections in Africa.

Making Africa Work is a first-hand account and handbook of how to ensure growth beyond commodities and create jobs in the continent.

Why Africa is Poor looks at the fragile economic and political situation in Africa and makes the quite controversial argument that the main reason Africa’s people are poor is due to the choices made by their leaders.Dr Greg Mills draws extensively from his experiences running various presidential-level advisory teams across the continent and examines the policy choices that have stunted African development. In providing some answers to the conundrum of development, the book focuses on the way the global economy works, Africa’s record and the choices made by its leaders, the role of the outside world and the global aid regime. It assesses whether the odds are in Africa’s favour and identifies the areas where African leadership could make better choices.

Why have efforts to strengthen quality of governance so often failed in some of the world’s most troubled states? Because they almost always ignore the human side of politics.

Why has Asia developed while Africa lagged? The Asian Aspiration chronicles the stories of explosive growth and changing fortunes: the leaders, events and policy choices that lifted a billion people out of abject poverty within a single generation, the largest such shift in human history.

Legendární irský hrdina Sláine prochází dějinami - se zlodějským trpaslíkem po boku a se sekerou Mozkohryz v ruce. V každé epoše bojuje ve službách Bohyně za udržení starých pořádků, za živočišnost „barbarství" a zachování kontaktu s přírodou... což je v protikladu s idejemi nastupujícího křesťanství, propagujícího zdrženlivost a odříkání. To není nic pro Sláina. Ve dvou epických příbězích se Sláine dostane do doby Robina Hooda, aby zachránil nové převtělení své věčné lásky Niamh - a následně se přenese do Anglie po pádu krále Artuše, aby dal dohromady ztracené poklady Británie a zachránil tak umírajícího krále a s ním i celou zemi. Legendární irský autor Pat Mills Sláinem přináší fascinující odpověď na conanovského barbara. V jeho příbězích se mísí historické detaily se starými legendami a anarchistickými postoji autora. K ruce mu je jako vždy výkvět kreslířů: Greg Staples, Dermot Power a Clint Langley. S nimi stvořil Pat Mills opravdu mistrovské dílo evropského komiksu. A nezdálo se mu to málo.
