  TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR TIME, YOUR MIND, AND YOUR FAITH  
     UNCOVER THE SECRETS TO MASTERING YOUR SCREEN TIME WHILE DEEPENING YOUR CONNECTION TO YOUR FAITH  
  In an age where social media dominates our daily lives, Muslims face the pressing challenge of balancing their online presence with their spiritual obligations. The constant lure of notifications, the endless scroll, and the fear of missing out can easily spiral into addiction, affecting both mental well-being and one's connection to faith.  
  Navigating the World of Social Media by Waseem Khan addresses this modern dilemma, offering a comprehensive guide for Muslims seeking to overcome the pitfalls of social media addiction. Drawing on extensive neuroscience research, this book uncovers the psychological traps set by social media platforms and how they exploit the brain’s reward system to keep users hooked.  
  What distinguishes this book is its unique integration of scientific analysis with Islamic principles. Waseem Khan explores the teachings of Islam, emphasising the critical importance of time in the faith and providing actionable strategies to reclaim it. Through practical advice, reflective exercises, and spiritual guidance, Navigating the World of Social Media empowers readers to break free from the distractions of the digital world and lead lives aligned with Islamic values.  
  Whether you are grappling with smartphone addiction yourself or seeking to support others in your community, this book provides the tools, insights, and knowledge needed to navigate the complexities of the digital age with confidence and faith.

  Plutocracy - The Rule of Wealth:...

  Plutocracy, often described as the rule of wealth, refers to a political system in which economic elites hold significant influence over government decisions, shaping policies to favor their interests. This concentration of power is not limited to authoritarian regimes or monarchies but can also be observed in modern democracies, where wealth and power are deeply intertwined. In such systems, political decisions are often made in ways that protect and increase the wealth of the rich, while the needs and concerns of the broader population are sidelined. 
  The concept of plutocracy is not a recent phenomenon. Throughout history, societies have been dominated by a small group of wealthy individuals or families who controlled vast resources and used their wealth to influence political outcomes. Whether through the control of land, natural resources, or capital, the wealthy elite have been able to dictate the direction of national policies, often at the expense of the lower classes. From the Roman Empire to the monarchies of Europe, political power and economic power have often been inextricably linked. 
  In modern democracies, the influence of wealth on politics is more subtle but no less pervasive. Campaign financing, lobbying, and the revolving door between government and corporate sectors are just a few examples of how wealth can shape political agendas. Political campaigns are expensive, and politicians often rely on wealthy donors and interest groups to fund their campaigns. In return, these donors and groups expect favorable legislation or regulatory policies. As a result, the political system becomes more responsive to the needs of the wealthy, while the voices of ordinary citizens are drowned out.

  An Original Audiobook Production by W. F. Howes, written and presented by Caryn Franklin and Professor Keon West, with special guests. 
   
  •	How do news outlets choose which crimes to report on – and does it matter? 
  •	What do Disney films teach us about who is good and who is dangerous? 
  •	Can adverts really change how we think and behave?  
   
  Underpinning these questions looms the spectre of bias; the hidden force that frames our thinking and skews the facts. This provocative audio original will have you rethinking everything from pornography and pop music to children’s books and fashion. 
  Tackling the complex subject of bias head on, Skewed investigates the hidden messages we absorb from birth. Looking closely at what the research can tell us, Caryn Franklin and Professor Keon West explain how our inner worlds are shaped by false information, media trends, and the brain’s preference for patterns and stereotypes. Exploring biases around gender, sexuality, race, age and appearance, Caryn and Keon explain how bias impacts all of our lives. 
  Through conversations with a diverse range of voices - from cognitive psychologists to activists and entertainers – Caryn and Keon offer a vision for an alternative future; a world in which we recognise and manage bias, and one in which diversity and difference can truly flourish. 
  Guest interviews include campaigner and life coach Michelle Elman, author academic and drag artist Cheddar Gorgeous, creative director and campaigner Trevor Robinson, forensic psychologist Dr Dominic Willmott and many more.

  Vision Changing Charity

  Ian Bruce

  The late twentieth century saw charities grow from timid service deliverers into major providers with campaigning teeth. What caused this? How did they gain confidence and strength? In this fascinating history, examined through the eyes of RNIB from 1970 to 2010, Ian Bruce examines the internal drivers and the external socio-political environment that allowed and encouraged this explosion. Bruce’s experience of leading a charity at the forefront of this change, and his participation in the wider charity sector for fifty years as both activist and academic, gives him an unsurpassed understanding of what happened and why. His first-hand knowledge will speak to charity workers as well as academics, covering themes such as the rise of beneficiary power against patronising providers; the change from welfare to rights; the shift from the medical to the social model of disability; and the adoption of social welfare and business professionalisms such as Strategic Planning and Charity Marketing. Today’s charities have much to learn from the successes and mistakes of this dynamic period.
