Synopsis

"Comedy Borders" explores the intricate boundaries of humor across different cultures, legal systems, and political landscapes. It examines how what's considered funny varies dramatically worldwide, influenced by societal norms and historical contexts. The book highlights the power of comedy not only to entertain but also to challenge authority, shape public discourse, and even drive social change. For instance, jokes that are harmless in one country may be deemed offensive or even illegal in another, reflecting differing cultural values and legal frameworks.

 
The book uses a multi-faceted approach, beginning with a historical overview of comedic expression and then presents case studies from various countries to analyze instances where comedic expression has been censored or celebrated. It also explores the legal frameworks that govern speech and the socio-political impact of humor. The goal is to understand how freedom of speech balances with concerns about public order and national security.

 
It is structured in three parts, each building upon the last to offer a comparative analysis of the factors shaping comedy's boundaries. Ultimately, "Comedy Borders" offers valuable insights into the role of humor in an interconnected world. It adopts a fact-based approach, drawing upon legal documents, historical records, media analysis, and interviews, making it a valuable resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in social justice and the power of comedic expression.

    ‘A litany of fresh heroes to make the embattled heart sing’ Caitlin Moran‘Newman is a brilliant writer’ Observer 
    A fresh, opinionated history of all the brilliant women you should have learned about in school but didn’t. 
    For hundreds of years we have heard about the great men of history, but what about herstory? 
    In this freewheeling history of modern Britain, Cathy Newman writes about the pioneering women who defied the odds to make careers for themselves and alter the course of modern history; women who achieved what they achieved while dismantling hostile, entrenched views about their place in society. Their role in transforming Britain is fundamental, far greater than has generally been acknowledged, and not just in the arts or education but in fields like medicine, politics, law, engineering and the military. 
    While a few of the women in this book are now household names, many have faded into oblivion, their personal and collective achievements mere footnotes in history. We know of Emmeline Pankhurst, Vera Brittain, Marie Stopes and Beatrice Webb. But who remembers engineer and motorbike racer Beatrice Shilling, whose ingenious device for the Spitfires’ Rolls-Royce Merlin fixed an often-fatal flaw, allowing the RAF’s planes to beat the German in the Battle of Britain? Or Dorothy Lawrence, the journalist who achieved her ambition to become a WW1 correspondent by pretending to be a man? And developmental biologist Anne McLaren, whose work in genetics paved the way for in vitro fertilisation? 
    Blending meticulous research with information gleaned from memoirs, diaries, letters, novels and other secondary sources, Bloody Brilliant Women uses the stories of some extraordinary lives to tell the tale of 20th and 21st century Britain. It is a history for women and men. A history for our times. 
    Newman's Bloody Brilliant Women is a bestseller that delves into the social and political fabric of Europe, highlighting the significant contributions of women in science and other fields. This biography is an autobiography of sorts, chronicling the lives of women who have been overlooked in studies of history. 
    For fans of Laura Bates (Fix the System, Not the Women), E. Foley (You Goddess!), Anna Russell (Great Women's Speeches), Deborah Coughlin (Outspoken), and Bill O'Neill (Behind the Curtain of Common Sayings).

    Are you curious about the nature of time-space and the dynamics of human lives within it? Dive into this book and explore these fascinating concepts.
     
    Time, the fundamental dynamo, leads the union with space, its perennial partner. Together, they frame a vast and restless cosmos where all individual has their unique time and place. Yet, humans do not survive alone; they share this beautiful but tiny planetary homestead with many 
    other species.
     
    While humans walk upon Planet Earth, they simultaneously scan the stars, probing the unfolding saga of their home planet and the entire cosmos:‘Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are…’
     
    This book combines insights from history, physics, geography, and literature – not forgetting songs. The opening section reveals how humans live, remember, forget, and think through time. The next section highlights key features of time and explains why denying time is nonsensical.
     
    The final section surveys the collective human journey through time-space. Humans are a complex species, capable of both deceit and trust, hatred and love, conflict and cooperation. Yet, slowly, they are creating international networks and a global civics. This exciting trend is 
    crucial, especially in responding effectively to today’s urgent climate crisis on Planet Earth.

    Essays, stories, and guidance for maintaining courage and integrity in the second half of life, from bestselling author and Jungian psychoanalyst Dr. James HollisOften, we’re told that aging must be avoided and delayed, denying its inevitability and therefore its wisdom. In this book, beloved author and teacher James Hollis embraces the perils and the wonders of stepping into one’s autumnal days. Hollis invites us to ask fundamental questions about life, agency, grace, and forgiveness through the lens of maturation. “Every choice made, not made, brings about consequences,” writes Hollis, “and the widening ripples of each intersect influence us, and alter the texture of our hours, whether we know it or not.” Autumnal Days guides us through not only the importance of this recognition, but also the necessity of acceptance and compassion in the face of life’s many shortcomings. Through essays and questions for reflection, Hollis teaches us to meet regret as a compass for moral action, to make creativity a fundamental principle for life, to discern beauty everywhere and amidst everything, and to maintain ownership of our souls. Filled with stories, myths, philosophies, Jungian analysis, and Hollis’s charming voice, Autumnal Days reminds us that the world is a vast canvas and we fill it with energetic scenarios that drive our souls, paint it, enact it, and populate it.
