  The Anarchist Movement - A...

  Anarchism, as both a philosophy and a political movement, seeks to abolish hierarchical structures of power, particularly the state, and promote a society based on voluntary cooperation, mutual aid, and self-governance. The term “anarchy” is often misunderstood and associated with chaos or disorder, but in the context of anarchism, it refers to the absence of coercive authority, not lawlessness. Anarchism challenges the legitimacy of centralized governments, institutions, and systems that perpetuate inequality and domination, advocating instead for decentralized, egalitarian forms of social organization. 
  The roots of anarchism can be traced back to the philosophical and political developments of the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly in the Enlightenment. Thinkers such as William Godwin and Jean-Jacques Rousseau laid the groundwork for anarchist thought by critiquing the rise of centralized authority and envisioning societies based on the autonomy of individuals and communities. However, it was in the 19th century that anarchism began to take shape as a distinct political ideology, largely influenced by the writings and activism of figures like Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Mikhail Bakunin, and Peter Kropotkin. 
  Central to anarchist theory is the belief in individual freedom and autonomy. Anarchists argue that all individuals should have the right to govern their own lives without interference from external authorities, whether those authorities are political, economic, or social. Anarchism posits that society can function without the need for a state, which is often seen as a coercive and oppressive institution. Instead, anarchists advocate for decentralized forms of governance, such as direct democracy, mutual aid, and voluntary association, where decisions are made collectively by communities rather than imposed by a centralized authority.

  The Social Genome - The New...

  A pioneering scientist presents a mind-expanding account of the sociogenomics revolution, which promises to upend everything we know about human development. 
   
   
   
  Sociogenomics brings together advances in molecular genetics and traditional social and behavioral science. The key tool is the polygenic index, which allows us to analyze DNA to measure a child's genetic potential. Today, we can estimate a child's adult height, how far they will go in school, and their weight as an adult—all from a cheek swab, finger prick, or vial of saliva. Dalton Conley and other researchers are using this new science to shed light on the ways in which genes shape our world, influencing how each person both creates and responds to the environment around them. Conley reveals a world where children's DNA influences the nurture they extract from their parents; the genes of our schoolmates affect our likelihood of smoking as much as our own DNA does; and spouses' genes influence each other's moods and behaviors. 
   
   
   
  The Social Genome presents a nuanced, powerful perspective on individual potential and social dynamics and raises critical ethical questions about how we will navigate a future where we have access to far more genetic information than ever before.

  Blackpilled - Masculinity Media...

  Incels – involuntary celibates – are often cast as violent, misogynistic loners, consumed by resentment towards women. With shocking tragedies like the 2014 Isla Vista killings and the 2024 Bondi Junction stabbings heightening fears about the threat they pose, understanding this phenomenon has never been more crucial.
  But it's important not to view incels as aliens who came down to earth on women-hating spaceships from a distant women-hating planet. Though their belief system – referred to as the 'blackpill' – is no doubt extreme, they haven't constructed it from nothing. These young men are shaped by the media they consume and the society that surrounds us.
  In Blackpilled, Meadhbh Park takes an unflinching look at the incel movement through the lenses of masculinity and media studies. Drawing on interviews with incels across the globe and analysing cultural touchstones such as The Matrix, Fight Club, Taxi Driver, Euphoria, Joker and Blade Runner 2049, Park uncovers the origins of their beliefs and what they really think. She also examines potential ways to help incels break free from the nihilistic and hate-fuelled grip of the blackpill.
  With extremist misogyny on the rise and governments debating whether incels should be labelled a terror threat, Blackpilled delivers urgent, thought-provoking conclusions that couldn't be more timely.

  We communicate constantly, whether we intend to or not. 
  Every glance, every gesture, every shift in posture sends a message – a silent conversation playing out alongside the words we speak. This silent language, the realm of nonverbal communication, often holds more weight than the spoken word, subtly shaping our perceptions and influencing our interactions. “Your Guide to Body Language” is your passport into this fascinating world.  
  Within these pages, we'll explore the powerful impact of nonverbal cues on our relationships, our careers, and our personal lives. This is not simply about learning to “read” others; it’s about understanding the intricate dance between verbal and nonverbal communication, recognizing when these signals align and when they diverge, and how to use that understanding to build stronger, more meaningful connections.  
  We’ll delve into the science behind body language, exploring the research that underpins our understanding of facial expressions, posture, gestures, personal space, and more. Through detailed explanations, practical exercises, and real-world examples, you’ll learn to identify subtle cues like microexpressions, those fleeting facial movements that can reveal hidden emotions.  
  You will also discover how to project confidence, build rapport, and navigate diverse cultural contexts – all through the power of nonverbal communication.  
  This book is designed for anyone seeking to enhance their communication skills, improve their relationships, and achieve greater success in both their professional and personal lives. Whether you’re a seasoned professional, a student exploring human behavior, or simply someone looking to improve their interactions with others, this guide will provide you with the tools and knowledge to master the art of body language and unlock your full communication potential.

  ‘I was so busy keeping him happy I didn’t notice how long it had been since I’d seen my friends. I seemed to apologise for everything. I was constantly tense, holding my breath, trying to predict his mood. Slowly my world became smaller, darker and lonelier.’ 
  Coercive Control is an insidious fog. The first ‘red flags’ are so small you don’t notice them: a simple remark about how to do something ‘the right way’ or a suggestion about how you should dress. He cares about where you are and who you are with. 
  We all want the perfect relationship, but for the courageous authors in Coerced to Courageous, their soulmate was more like checkmate.  
  The first ‘red flags’ of Coercive Control are so subtle you barely notice them. Eventually, he has driven away your friends and family, is making all the decisions and controlling the finances, and you are trapped. These brave, resilient, brilliant women share the tools that helped them escape and rebuild their lives. They want to encourage and empower you to break the chains of coercive control and create the life you deserve. 
  Broken to Brilliant is an Australian not-for-profit charity where domestic violence survivors mentor other survivors to rebuild successful lives using the power of story.  
  When we saw the impact on people’s lives of our first three books, the changes made, the hope in their hearts, the joy and gratitude for their new lives, we had to continue to share stories of hope, healing & recovery. There had to be a fourth book. 
  We applaud each of our authors for sharing their raw, vulnerable & courageous stories. Our hope is that these books will provide you with the tools to take back your power so you can rebuild your life the way you choose. Each step forward is a courageous move toward your new life filled with peace, happiness & achievement.
