  The Rise of Isis - The Formation...

  The rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) stands as one of the most significant and alarming phenomena of the 21st century. Emerging from the chaos of regional conflicts and geopolitical missteps, ISIS transformed from a little-known insurgent group into a global threat that captured the world’s attention. At its height, ISIS declared a self-styled caliphate, controlling vast territories across Iraq and Syria, and wielded its influence far beyond the Middle East. Through acts of brutality, strategic propaganda, and a sophisticated recruitment network, the group redefined the face of modern terrorism.  
    
  The story of ISIS is not one of sudden emergence but rather a culmination of decades of historical, political, and social factors. Its rise cannot be fully understood without examining the regional instability created by the Iraq War, the Arab Spring uprisings, and the Syrian Civil War. These events set the stage for the group’s ascent, enabling it to exploit power vacuums, sectarian divisions, and state failures. The role of key figures, such as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was pivotal in shaping the group’s ideology, operations, and global ambitions.  
    
  Equally crucial to understanding ISIS’s impact is its approach to governance and control. The group operated as more than a terrorist organization—it functioned as a quasi-state, establishing administrative systems, levying taxes, and providing services to populations under its rule. Its brutality, however, served as both a tool of fear and a declaration of its unyielding vision, attracting supporters and horrifying opponents. Through propaganda disseminated across digital platforms, ISIS extended its reach to every corner of the globe, inspiring attacks in cities far removed from its territorial base.

  A richly detailed, in-depth look at fixed stars and their role in affecting astrological predictions.    Since prehistory, humanity has been held in thrall by the night sky, captivated by the mystery of the stars. Seeking to make sense of such a magical overhead landscape, people used the stars to relate beliefs, creation stories, and mythologies. And just as the fixed stars have ancient origins in human life, their astrological interpretations get right to the heart of our lives.   Celebrated astrologer Bernadette Brady melds modern astrological techniques with Egyptian and early Greek mythology to bring astrologers to a deeper understanding of the horoscope and provides delineations for using fixed stars in chart interpretation. Her methods open a window on the fixed stars, revealing how a major star in a person’s chart indicates the stage of life in which it is active and how it affirms the person’s life journey through the mythology that the star represents. Though the fixed stars have been watched and studied for all of human history, Brady’s Book of Fixed Stars continues to be the astrological bible for how to use them in practice. This is an essential resource that should be on every astrologer’s bookshelf.  The book includes Paran maps, star maps, star phases, and mythologies for over sixty stars,New insights into the natal use of fixed stars, as well as their use in mundane astrology,Extensive appendices of graphs and tables to help astrologers find rising or setting dates for any given location,And a listing of 176 stars with their 21st-century positions. Originally published by Weiser Books in 1999, this Weiser Classics edition includes a new foreword by Chloe Margherita.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  For seven years, Lorenzo Sellers debated MAGA supporters across dinner tables, social media threads, workplaces, and public forums. Not to win. To understand. 
  What he discovered is something most people never see. These debates were never about facts. They were about emotion, identity, belonging, and power. Facts don’t build movements. Strategy does. 
  Politics vs Power is a bold and unflinching guide to understanding why movements like MAGA grow so fiercely and why facts alone will never break their grip. Drawing from real conversations, psychological patterns, and cultural fault lines, Lorenzo reveals the emotional engines that power these movements and how to counter them with precision. 
  Inside you’ll learn: 
  *Why facts fall flat against emotional loyalty 
  *How belonging, power proximity, and rebellion keep people loyal 
  *How to recognize when someone is unreachable and when the real audience is watching 
  *Why outrage fuels movements and clarity dismantles them 
  *How to build spaces that meet emotional needs before extremism exploits them 
  This is not a partisan rant. It is a playbook for those tired of shouting into the void. Politics vs Power shows you how to stop reacting, start strategizing, and build influence that lasts long after the noise fades. 
  Whether you’re trying to reach someone who has fallen deep into the MAGA fold, protect your peace in conversations that go nowhere, or understand the real battlefield beneath the headlines, this book gives you the clarity and strategy you need to stand firm in the storm. 
  Politics is performance. Power is strategy. Learn the difference.

  In QAnon and On, Guardian columnist Van Badham delves headfirst into the QAnon conspiracy theory, unpicking the why, how and who behind this century’s most dangerous and far-fetched internet cult. 
  From Gamergate to Pizzagate and beyond to QAnon, internet manipulation and disinformation campaigns have grown to a geopolitical scale and spilled into real life with devastating consequences, entangling everyone from politicians to Hollywood celebrities. 
  But what would motivate followers to so forcefully avoid the facts and surrender instead to made-up stories designed to influence and control? It’s a question that has haunted Van, herself a veteran of social media’s relentless trolling wars. In this daring investigation, Van exposes some of the internet’s most extreme communities to understand conspiracy cults from the inside. 
  QAnon and On is the story of the modern internet, the farscape of political belief and a disinformation pipeline built between the two that poses an ongoing threat to democracy itself. Shocking and mesmerising in equal measure, this book will open our eyes to the dangers of partisan belief. 
  'Van Badham is one of the most lucid, insightful and witty journalists in Australia, and seeing her expose the dark rising madness of conspiracy theories is both a joy and a panic attack all at once.'  Johann Hari, New York Times best-selling author 
  ‘Van Badham’s research is rigorous, her argument revealing and her writing absolutely impeccable. A chilling reveal on the world’s newest cult.’ Jamila Rizvi, best-selling author and presenter 
  'This book will compel you – and indeed all of us – to act to reclaim the internet for the good of humanity.'  Ginger Gorman, multi-award winning journalist and author 
  'As gripping and terrifying as a thriller, but the really chilling twist in the tale is that none of it is fiction.'  Jane Caro, Walkley-award winning author  
  'From Cosplay to QAnon, a terrifying, fascinating look at how an unregulated space of geeks and gamers became fertile ground for deliberate misinformation and political manipulation.' – Dee Madigan, campaigner, author and speaker  
  'A moving cry for reason in the chaos of a twilight world… a book that deserves - or perhaps, more pointedly, demands - to be widely read.' Ian McFarlane, The Canberra Times
