  Cryptography in World War I: The...

  World War I was the first major conflict in which new electronic means of transmitting and receiving messages became a major factor in political and military operations. The electric telegraph was developed in the first half of the 19th century, and by 1850, there were several telegraph companies around the world providing a service that allowed virtually instantaneous communication over long distances. This was a major breakthrough, but the telegraph depended on the availability of wires to transmit messages between stations, meaning that if these wires were broken or damaged, communications were cut off. 
  	Late in the 19th century, there was another new development, the telephone, though this too relied on wires to transmit and receive information. At the same time, there was a new invention that provided instant voice and Morse code communication over long distances that did not require wires. Initially called wireless, radio was quickly adopted by armies around the world as a way of providing rapid communication between military units. By the time World War I began in 1914, all the major nations involved had provided their forces with some form of radio equipment. 
  	Of course, this came with a fundamental problem: radio, telephone, and telegraph messages could be intercepted by the enemy, potentially giving them notice of impending operations. To protect these electronic messages from being read by the enemy, armies began to use codes and ciphers to disguise the meaning of messages. Teams were created to devise effective codes and ciphers, and these were quickly followed by other teams whose role was to attempt to break the codes and ciphers used by the other side. As a result, a secret war began, almost completely hidden from public view, as the belligerents devised complex ways of hiding the real meaning of their own messages while simultaneously attempting to understand those of the enemy.

  It’s time we start looking at career success differently. 
  Perhaps you have heard the expression, “I’m at the bottom of the food chain.” This phrase is often used as reference to a person’s lack of power in the workplace or social group. And if you look at power and success in careers, the goal is typically to climb to the top and become a titan of the industry. 
  But does the top of the food chain hold all the power? Success? What if I told you that some of the most powerful people, right now, are at the bottom?  
  With a nature-based lens focused on careers, this book explores the power of lower-level positions in the workplace. For so long we’ve missed it.  
  You may not have “big wins” and all your career aspirations may not become your reality, but that doesn’t mean you are inadequate or that your value is reduced. Even the most seemingly minor actions, can contribute to something greater. 
  If you are exhausted from the efforts of trying to reach the top and feel like you failed because others around you have succeed in their careers in ways that you only dream of, take a break, and read this book. I’m not saying it's time to give up on your dreams, but it is time to see yourself for power that you have!

  Art of Receiving and Giving The:...

  Why would most people endure unwanted or unsatisfying touch, rather than speak up for their own boundaries and desires? It’s a question with a myriad of answers – and one that Dr. Betty Martin has explored in her 40+ years as a hands-on practitioner, first as a chiropractor and later as a Somatic Sex Educator, Certified Surrogate Partner and Sacred Intimate. In her client sessions, she noticed a pattern wherein many clients would “allow” or go along with discomfort or unease rather than speak up for what they wanted or didn’t want. Betty discovered there was a major component missing for people -- the confidence that we have a choice about what is happening to us. 
  In her framework, “The Wheel of Consent®” Betty traces the fundamental roots of consent back to our childhood conditioning. As children, we are taught that to be “good” we must ignore our body’s discomfort and be compliant: to finish our food even if we’re full, to go to bed - even if we’re not tired, to let relatives hug and kiss us even if we don’t want to. We learn that our feelings don’t matter more than what is happening, and that we don’t have a choice but to go along, whether or not we want it. 
  As adults, this conditioning remains with us until we have an opportunity to unlearn it, which is why consent violations are often only called out after the violation has occurred - because we have not been taught or empowered to notice our boundaries, much less value or express our internal signals as the unwanted action is happening. 
  In this book, Betty guides the reader through the Wheel of Consent framework, and shares practices to help us recover the ability to notice what we want and set clear boundaries.

  Marriage and Morals

  In Marriage and Morals, Bertrand Russell challenges conventional attitudes toward love, marriage, and sexuality, offering a bold and progressive critique of traditional moral values. First published in 1929, this groundbreaking work examines the evolving nature of human relationships, questioning outdated norms and advocating for a more rational and ethical approach to marriage and personal freedom. 
  Russell explores the historical and cultural influences that have shaped ideas about marriage, fidelity, and sexual morality. He critiques the rigid constraints imposed by religious and social institutions, arguing that many traditional views on relationships are based on dogma rather than reason or human well-being. Instead, he promotes a more open and flexible perspective, emphasizing the importance of emotional and intellectual compatibility, personal autonomy, and mutual respect between partners. 
  A central theme of the book is Russell’s belief that morality should be based on human happiness rather than arbitrary social rules. He discusses topics such as divorce, birth control, and the role of women in society, advocating for greater equality and personal choice in matters of love and family life. His views, considered radical at the time, laid the foundation for modern discussions on sexual ethics, gender roles, and personal relationships. 
  Marriage and Morals remains a thought-provoking and relevant work, offering timeless insights into the complexities of love and marriage. Essential reading for those interested in philosophy, sociology, and human relationships, it continues to inspire debates on the intersection of morality, freedom, and societal change.

  Winner of the Best Non-Fiction by a Parliamentarian category at the Parliamentary Book Awards 2023
  With a Foreword by Lord Hague of Richmond
  The Intelligence Corps is one of the smallest and most secretive elements of the British Army. It has existed in various guises since the early twentieth century, but it was only formally constituted in July 1940. In this book, Michael Ashcroft tells the astonishing stories of some of its most courageous and ingenious figures, who have operated all over the world from the First World War to the present day.
  Whether carrying out surveillance work on the street, monitoring and analysing communications, working on overseas stakeouts, receiving classified information from a well-placed contact or interrogating the enemy in the heat of war, a hugely diverse range of people have served in the Corps, often supplementing their individual professional skills with original thinking and leadership in the name of the Crown. This book pays tribute to them and shows why, in the words of the 1st Duke of Marlborough, 'No war can be conducted successfully without early and good intelligence.'
