Iain Sinclair has described Welcome to New London as, "An invaluable and informed super-tour by the Cobbett of YouTube. As immediately readable and engrossing as a Rogers film." After the 2012 Olympics London once again entered a period of radical change, one that some people came to see as a battle for the very soul of one of the greatest cities in the world. John Rogers embarked on a series of journeys and encounters in a quest to understand what was going on. In 'Welcome to New London' John Rogers invites us to join him on a captivating voyage through the ever-changing landscapes and communities of this iconic city. As a follow-up to 'This Other London,' 'Welcome to New London' continues Rogers' exploration of the city from a unique perspective. The story begins in 2013 as the Olympic village in Stratford transitioned to become a new permanent settlement, and the Stratford City plan became a reality. This excursion sparks an exploration of the Olympic Park and its surrounding areas, where a wave of development is reshaping the Lower Lea Valley. The narrative seamlessly weaves through various facets of London's transformation, from the Focus E15 Mothers' occupation of homes on Carpenters Estate, a poignant symbol of the housing crisis, to the global attention garnered by campaigns like Save Soho and Save Tin Pan Alley. The book also chronicles the author's involvement in efforts to help residents of the Sweets Way Estate and other housing campaigns, offering readers an intimate look at the human stories behind London's changing landscape. Intriguingly, the Rogers delves into the city's ancient history following a chance conversation with a Pearly Punk King on the rooftop of the old Foyles building. This encounter takes him through Epping Forest to the prehistory of London in the Upper Lea Valley, unearthing Bronze Age burial mounds and their significance in understanding London's historical roots and its enduring connection to its past. Rogers embarks on a series of walks with acclaimed writer Iain Sinclair, providing a thought-provoking commentary on London's future. And then somehow the United Nations sent him to Peckham to explore the concept of the 'Open City,' tying together the book's themes and returning to the Olympic Park as a focal point. "Welcome to New London" is not just a book about a city; it's a vivid, personal account of a city in flux, where the author's passion for exploration and his commitment to bearing witness to change converge. With its richly detailed chapters and thought-provoking commentary, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of one of the world's greatest cities.

This book is a facsimile reprint of the 1728 book The Nature and Necessity of Repentance by the Reverend John Rogers. It was originally a sermon Rogers had preached in response to the Great Earthquake of 1727, which struck New England on November 10, 1727. With an epicenter somewhere off the New Hampshire and Massachusetts coasts, the earthquake shook buildings from Maine to Connecticut and was felt as far as Can­ada. Many ministers, including Rogers, interpreted the earthquake as a sign of God's wrath. He preached his sermon on Sunday, December 21, 1727, which was the day of a colony-wide fast held in response to the earthquake.Rogers was born to Dorcas and Jeremiah Rogers, Jr. on November 22, 1684 in Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony. Exact details about his ancestors' immigration to the New World are unknown, but it is clear that he was at least a third-generation American.After graduating from Harvard, in 1708 he became the minister for the first church of Boxford, Massachusetts (which still exists to this day, as the First Church Congregational, Boxford). He served until 1743, during which time church membership grew more than it ever had before. Rogers sometimes clashed with the austere Puritan Congregationalist norms of the day. For example, he supported the "popish" practice of singing in parts with written music. It was written of him that "[h]e was a man honest, frank in conversation, one who held to his own opinion, and a man of power and forceable and earnest."Reverend Rogers's numerous descendants pioneered and settled across most of North America. The Nature and Necessity of Repentance, however, has been out of print and inaccessible for nearly three centuries. Rogershaven Books is proud to make it available once more.
