Sinopse

In an age of rampant misinformation, Influence and Resistance explores how individuals and groups can maintain autonomy and resist persuasive manipulation. It examines propaganda's evolution, highlighting psychological vulnerabilities it exploits and how understanding resistance is crucial for informed citizenship. The book uniquely bridges social movement theory with behavioral research, offering a comprehensive view of resistance mechanisms, emphasizing that countering propaganda requires both critical thinking and collective action.

 
The book unfolds across three key sections. First, it introduces core concepts of propaganda and resistance, drawing from social psychology and communication studies. Second, it examines case studies of resistance movements, analyzing strategies and tactics employed. Finally, it synthesizes insights for practical recommendations. For instance, the book discusses how social movements frame counter-narratives and mobilize support.

 
By integrating individual psychology with social movement theory, Influence and Resistance provides a nuanced understanding of resistance. It adopts an accessible tone, making it valuable for students, activists, and policymakers, aiming to improve critical thinking and promote media literacy. The book connects to political science, sociology, and communication studies, providing a holistic understanding of propaganda, resistance, and social change.

The Financial Activist Playbook...

Jasmine Rashid

The first and only comprehensive resource designed to empower everyday people with insider knowledge on moving money for a more equitable economy. 
 
 
 
Financial activism is how everyday people radically reimagine money as a tool for widespread well-being, instead of a weapon of absurdly increasing inequality. It's how we—the underestimated—collectively resist systems that cause harm to people and the planet for the sake of profit, reclaim wealth that's been stolen, and redesign our relationships with capital and one another, in ways big and small. 
 
 
 
The Financial Activist Playbook offers eight accessible, actionable, "choose-your-own-adventure" strategies for listeners to experiment with. Drawing on timely insider knowledge from the worlds of impact investing, social justice, and more, Rashid illuminates a treasure trove of stories: demonstrating how people power can flow big bucks out of extractive industries, and into the economy of care and abundance we deserve. 
 
 
 
Laced with refreshing humor, empowering exercises, and a steadfast commitment to truth-telling, Rashid takes listeners on an energizing ride of financial possibility and practicality that will reverberate for generations to come.

Sky Warriors: British Airborne...

Saul David

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 
From bestselling historian Saul David, a riveting new history of the British airborne experience across the Second World War. 
The legendary ‘Red Devils’ were among the finest combat troops of the Second World War. Created at Churchill’s instigation in June 1940, they began as a single parachute battalion of 500 men and grew into three 10,000-strong airborne divisions: the 1st, 6th and 44th Indian, each composed of parachutists and glider-borne troops. Wearing their distinctive maroon berets, steel helmets and Dennison smocks, they served with distinction in every major theatre of the conflict – including North Africa, Sicily, mainland Europe and the Far East – and played a starring role in some most iconic airborne operations in history: the Bruneval Raid of February 1942; the capture of the Primasole, Pegasus and Arnhem Bridges in July 1943, June 1944 and September 1944 respectively; and Operation Varsity, the biggest parachute drop in history, near Wesel in Germany in March 1945. 
Sky Warriors by Saul David is a Sunday Times bestseller that provides a modern, non-fiction account of Britain's military aviation history in the 20th century. This autobiography of the Red Devils is a compelling read for anyone interested in World War II. 
For fans of Damien Lewis (SAS Daggers Drawn), Joseph Wheelan (Bitter Peleliu), Antony Beevor (Arnhem), Al Murray (Watching War Films With My Dad), and Geoffrey Wawro (A Mad Catastrophe).
