  I Have Lied and You Call Me a...

  What if the lie wasn’t born from deception—but from pressure? 
  In I Have Lied, and You Call Me a Liar, Vusimzi Ishmael Faku confronts an uncomfortable truth many avoid: not every lie is rooted in bad character. Sometimes lies are born from invasive questions, entitled curiosity, unsafe conversations, and the pressure to explain parts of your life that were never public property. 
  This thought-provoking audiobook explores how honesty becomes risky when people demand answers without offering respect, and how silence is too often mistaken for guilt. 
  Through sharp reflection and cultural insight, Faku challenges listeners to rethink boundaries, privacy, judgment, and the social pressure to explain oneself in a world that mistakes access for entitlement. 
  This is not a defence of lying. 
  It is a confrontation with entitlement. 
  If you have ever felt pressured to explain yourself, judged for protecting your privacy, or forced into conversations that crossed personal boundaries, this audiobook will challenge the way you think about truth, silence, and self-respect.

  *A Radio 4 Book of the Week* 
  'Captivating, mind-boggling and deeply disturbing' – Maureen Freely 
  'Humane, thoughtful and urgent — this book will make you think, make you laugh, make you cry, but also make you burn with rage' – Dr Mary Wellesley 
  A thought-provoking deep dive into the global fertility industry and the commodification of the maternal body 
  __________ 
  Should surrogacy be a paid service, an altruistic act – or even legal at all? 
  Is it right that you can pay more for ‘VIP’ egg donors – and to view their photos? 
  How much, if anything, should breastmilk cost – and who should be allowed to buy it? 
  The global fertility industry is rapidly growing, hugely profitable and morally complex. This an industry where one person’s biological bad luck can be another person’s financial gain. From egg freezing to black-market breastmilk, the maternal body has never been more commodified, yet the ethical, emotional and economic implications are rarely considered. 
  Through a combination of undercover reporting and detailed first-hand accounts Alev Scott exposes how the IVF, surrogacy and milk industries operate around the world and who is profiting. In doing so, she considers the blurred line between exploitation and empowerment. Who should make money from the maternal body: only the women themselves, anyone or no one? 
  Timely, thought-provoking and compelling, Cash Cow is an unmissable investigation into how desire, desperation and commerce intersect, and the impact the fertility industry has on individuals. 
  __________ 
  ‘A powerful, intimate and disturbing exploration of the hidden markets built on women’s bodies' Professor Peter Frankopan 
  'An absolute must read for anyone considering surrogacy; a compelling and thought-provoking book for everyone else' Jack Farchy, co-author of The World for Sale 
  Blending non-fiction medical reporting with sharp ethics and economics, Scott shows how capitalism and business are reshaping healthcare around infertility and health. With a distinctly feminist lens, Cash Cow traces the social costs of this enterprise and asks what justice should look like when science turns reproduction into a market. 
  For fans of Laura Bates (Fix the System, Not the Women), Oliver Burkeman (The Antidote), and Bettany Hughes (Venus and Aphrodite).

  On my knees in the dark, he makes me chant for him. He’s etching this moment into my brain. 
  He says it’s a secret. He won’t tell anyone what we’re doing. 
  If word ever got out, I’d be ruined. A master kneeling for his servant…there’s no greater shame. It would jeopardize my position in the Roman Senate. 
  But with each passing day, I sink deeper. He’s broken something inside my mind. He’s conditioning me to crave his body. 
  Each night, he makes me commit bizarre, depraved acts. I moo like a cow while he “milks” me. I drink his essence. I happily lick the dirtiest part of his body. 
  Where does this end? Is there any sick command I won’t obey?

  Moderate Conservatism -...

  Moderate Conservatism: Reclaiming the Center by John Kekes is a response to attacks on the United States' 300-year-old constitutional democracy by extremists on the left and the right. It makes a reasoned case for moderation and the defense of a political system that has endured because it has balanced the often-conflicting claims of justice, liberty, equality, prosperity, and security. That balance is now threatened by extremists who ignore all else but their grievances. They are blind to the destructive consequences of their attacks on the conditions on which the well-being of all Americans, including their own, depends. 
   
   
   
  The aim of Moderate Conservatism is to protect the United States' political system. It is a defense of what Americans have and are in danger of losing. Central to it is the rarely conscious patriotism of many millions of citizens who live private lives, earn a living, raise a family, and rely on the political system to protect the conditions in which they can continue to do so. They sustain life as Americans know it. And that life is now threatened by the destructive attacks of extremists. The United States is in urgent need of the balance and moderation this book describes and defends.
