The working title of my next book is provisionally entitled – ‘Art Civilization & Law.’

The idea is to initially write a series of essays around the ‘Programme Themes’ for my planned YouTube Channel www.artandcivilization.tv.
See www.artandcivilization.tv. for the current list of planned video programmes.

The book will accompany the YouTube TV Channel as it evolves.

Art is the window into the soul of ancient civilizations, so the focus of both the channel and the book will be the nexus between ‘Art’ and ‘Civilization’, and the ‘Laws and Codes of Practice’ which apply to the the Protection of Art, Antiquities, Archaelogical Sites, Monuments and Libraries, during armed conflict. In other words, the preservation of Civilization, by protecting its tangible and intangible manifestation, in the form of Art and Cultural Heritage – which belongs to all Mankind.

I will also discuss Intellectual Property and Cultural Heritage, Maritime Archaeology, the Protection of Underwater Archaeological Sites, International Dispute Settlement in the International Court of Justice in the Hague, Ethics in Repatriation Claims, and the Mediation of Cultural Heritage Disputes.

I am planning to start work on these projects in December.

My next live Zoom webinar to be presented to members of the Standing Conference of Mediation Advocates worldwide in 2025 is entitled ‘Mediation Advocacy in Music & Performers’ Rights Disputes.’

This is provisionally scheduled for the afternoon of Tuesday 11 November 2025.

I am currently writing an article about this for submission to the Journal of Mediation Theory and Practice in October for publication worldwide.
