The legacy of Richard Wright is little known. Born of personal experience, his works threw a harsh light on the continued struggles of African Americans in the first half of the twentieth century. Almost completely self-educated, he was a writer, thinker, and activist whose passion for the plight of his people never waned. His works continue to influence young minds to this day. The stories in this collection are linked by Wright and his life, sometimes directly, sometimes only in passing. They are tales of the ongoing struggle, and Wright's existence in one way or another touches modern lives in ways they may not even recognise. From a group escaping the ravages of Hurricane Katrina to an ordinary man trying to win the heart of a woman, Richard Wright has a bearing on every life described in these pages.

Did you know that 62% of the food in our supermarkets is not only processed but 'ultra-processed' (ingredients from other foods are combined to make something 'new', often in colours that do not exist in nature) and that data shows that by eating this kind of food over time we are literally slowly poisoning ourselves? In the hard-hitting, ground-breaking tradition of his NY Times bestseller FAT CHANCE, which revealed the dangers of sugar, Dr Robert Lustig persuasively presents a stark expose of how our addiction to processed foods (aided and abetted by the food industry, big ag, big pharma, institutional medicine and the government) is behind the lethal increase in major non-communicable diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver disease, cancer and dementia. We have come to accept that these chronic diseases are simply part of the 'natural ageing process', but Dr Lustig makes the case that this is simply not true. The solution on both a perso...

Excerpt from Groups With Solvable Word Problems Equating truth in G with derivability from a set of axioms suggests the possibility of formulating the word problem for G as the derivability problem for some type of formal system. The first part of the paper is concerned with this. Once this is done, we can consider the questions usually asked about formal systems, such as consistency, decid ability, and completeness, and use results about particular formal systems to obtain results about groups and semigroups corresponding to these systems. In this analogy, nontrivial groups correspond to consistent systems, groups with solvable word problem to decidable systems, and simple groups to complete systems. The last analogy is particularly striking, for, strangely enough, although it has been known for a long time that complete recursively axiomatized theories are decidable, it was only recently noted that recursively presented simple groups have solvable word problems.
