Memories and Adventures - Autobiographical Writings

Arthur Conan Doyle

Summary

Memories and Adventures is Arthur Conan Doyle's sweeping, candid, and utterly captivating autobiography—a journey through the mind of a man who lived many lives beyond the page. In this expansive memoir, Doyle reflects not just on his literary triumphs, but on a kaleidoscope of extraordinary experiences: as a ship's surgeon on Arctic whalers, a physician, a war correspondent, a fervent spiritualist, and a knighted public figure. With the storytelling prowess that made Sherlock Holmes a legend, Doyle weaves tales of duels and séances, courtroom dramas and political debates, ghost hunts and colonial wars. Every chapter reveals a new facet of his restless intellect and indomitable spirit. Rich in reflection and packed with adventure, this is the rare autobiography that reads like a life-long adventure novel—only every word is true.

And Still We March: The touching...

Marisa Bate

Retracing my mother’s footsteps in search of women’s freedom
1974. A 22-year-old Jacqui French stands for a photograph in Omaha, Nebraska, thousands of miles from home.
In 2022, the US Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, restricting access to abortion across America. The decision mirrored a global trend towards a devastating unravelling of women’s freedoms; a reversal of hard-won progress, and a battle that continues to be fought on both sides of the Atlantic.
Following in the footsteps of her mother fifty years before her, Marisa Bate is galvanised to journey across America, meeting the women on the ground, and telling the stories behind the headlines. Examining half a century of feminist struggle in the UK and the US, she also finds herself tracing the roots of her own family, seamlessly interweaving the personal with the political.
Lyrical, poignant, and bursting with defiant hope, And Still We March is an urgent and perceptive dissection of female autonomy, motherhood, and a woman’s right to choose.
A ‘beguiling feminist memoir’ Lindsey Hilsum
In this top-rated autobiography, Marisa Bate delves into the history of women's rights, intertwining it with her mother's personal journey. The narrative is a testament to the resilience of women, even in the face of discrimination and social challenges.
For fans of Richard Osman (Richard Osman's House of Games), Laura Bates (Fix the System, Not the Women), Lucy Jones (Matrescence), Donna Lancaster (Wise Words for Women), and Bre Graham (Table for Two).

Secrets of the Illuminati

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS).

From rap artists wearing their symbol to multi-million dollar movies, the enigmatic and elusive secret society we know as the illuminti has held us captive in more ways than one.

We are told they originated in the 18th century, but the truth is much older than that. Who are they? What secrets do they hold? When and where did they originate?

They run governments, companies and religions. They have done so for a very long time. Their names have changed, their faces altered but their secrets remain the same.

We see glimpses of their power. We see the outcomes of their plots and schemes. We see revolutions and war. We succumb to their propaganda and manipulation again and again. Most have no idea that they are under the spell.

In the 18th century they emerged briefly into the spotlight to bring about world-wide cataclysmic change and they called themselves the Illuminati.

Quickly they spread and embedded themselves and their ideals within other secret societies. The French had a bloody revolution. America turned the tide against a royal regime. Russia, Spain and more, all fell to the zeal of a new world order.

In this book we will delve deep into the what these people believe in and enter their secret initiations and rituals. We will explain what those rituals mean and their origins.

We will see the spread of their influence with the assassins, Druze, Yezidis, Allumbrados, Ismailis, Templars, Triad and more. We will see how they created and fostered revolutions from France and America to China and Russia. And we will uncover their very ancient origins and how they were there at the very beginning of the major religions of the globe.

This is the story of the world's most powerful secret society - the illuminati.

Humble Inquiry Second Edition -...

Edgar H. Schein, Peter A. Schein

This worldwide bestseller offers simple guidance for building the kind of open and trusting relationships vital for tackling global systemic challenges and developing adaptive, innovative organizations-over 200,000 copies sold and translated into seventeen languages! 
 
 
 
We live, say Ed and Peter Schein, in a culture of "tell." Rather than trying to genuinely relate to other people, we tell them what we think they need to know or should do. This is particularly problematic between superiors and subordinates because anybody anywhere could have that vital fact or spot that fatal flaw that could mean the difference between success or disaster. 
 
Humble Inquiry encourages honest and open interactions, stimulates creative thinking, and protects against costly misunderstandings and mistakes. Edgar and Peter Schein defines Humble Inquiry as "the fine art of drawing someone out . . . of building a relationship based on curiosity and interest in the other person." In this seminal work, the authors look at how Humble Inquiry differs from other kinds of inquiry, offer examples of it in action, and show how to overcome the cultural, organizational and psychological barriers that keep us from practicing it. This second edition has been updated throughout with new examples and a new chapter that shows how a lack of Humble Inquiry is at the root of so many modern organizational problems.
