Eden and the Fall – The Fallacies of Radical Ecological History is a world history analysis book by Dr Matt Buttsworth which is a hard hitting, detailed expose of how radical ecologists uses history to recruit and motivate their followers. It shows that their models of history are profoundly anti-Western and apocalyptic varying only in who they blame for the current ecological crisis. It goes on to prove emphatically not only that their models of history are deeply flawed and factually false, but that the ancestors of this model, including Nazism, were extremely dangerous. It therefore ...

This clearly written and engrossing book presents a global narrative of the origins of the modern world from 1400 to the present.

Discover the dark, starving truth behind the most misunderstood warriors in history. For centuries, Victorian nationalists, romantic poets, and Hollywood screenwriters have spoon-fed us a narrative of the Viking Age characterized by excess vitality and hyper-masculine energy. We are taught to view the raids on Lindisfarne and Paris as the arrogant flex of an unstoppable, well-fed military machine. Tomas Somerled’s BONE-THIN RAIDERS dismantles this retroactive propaganda piece by piece. Through a rigorous, multidisciplinary forensic investigation known as the Metabolic Trauma Protocol, ...
