  From the news media to politicians. From social media to the movies. From the pulpit to the playground. Hatred is engineered, sold and spread. It is used as a tool to control and manipulate the masses. It has been this way for a very long time. 
   
  It is in fact a natural part of being human and grows from that basic universal and instinctual inner element of fear. This fear is natural. All animals have it. It helps us and them to spot threats to our lives and way of life. But this fear is being used by very clever leaders in government, media, religion and business. These four elements are in fact all connected at many levels. 
   
  This fear causes hatred and that hatred is used to garner votes, sales and members. The threats created by those in power manipulate our thoughts and beliefs and cause us to hate other countries, races and everything else you can imagine. We take sides because we are conditioned to do so. 
   
  There is a route out of this hatred and it is as old as man. It is an ancient wisdom seldom spoken of in the media and yet it is greatly needed in our divided world. 
   
  It is time to end hatred.

  An inventive new look at the entwined histories of Britain and Ireland’s nations – and the people who have called them home. 
  Acclaimed author and journalist Brian Groom reveals the colourful and often-contested history of the Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans and others who have occupied these islands, along with their culture, languages and passions. 
  Packed with surprise and insight, These Isles explores the role of religion, the British Empire, international diasporas and internal migration, gender relations and war in a nuanced and entertaining narrative. 
  With forays into popular culture, sport, music, language, literature and art, These Isles stretches from 800,000-year-old footprints on a Norfolk beach to the changing fortunes of the early twenty-first century. It offers a uniquely rich and kaleidoscopic vision of the shared stories of people across Britain and Ireland – past and present. 
  As historical, political non-fiction, These Isles follows the shifting geography of power across Britain and Ireland and their place in Europe, illuminating the roots of nationalism, patriotism and rival ideologies. It moves with a travel narrative’s range and pace, delivering a top, latest synthesis of what has made these islands—and keeps remaking them. 
  For fans of Emma Bennett (The Bristol and Bath Art Book), Rick Broadbent (Jessica Ennis), Robin Ince (Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal), Jonn Elledge (A History of the World in 47 Borders), and Michael Palin (Travelling to Work).

  ‘If Steve Biko were alive today, we would have a country that gladly embraces African culture as the dominant driving force for how society is organised ...’ 
  In 1968, two young medical students, Steve Biko and Mamphela Ramphele, fell in love while dreaming of a life free from oppression and racial discrimination. Their love story is also the story of the founding of the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM) by a group of 15 principled and ambitious students at the University of Natal in Durban in the early 1970s. 
    
  In this deeply personal book, Hlumelo Biko, who was born of Steve and Mamphela’s union, movingly recounts his parents’ love story and how the BCM’s message of black self-love and self-reliance helped to change the course of South African history. 
    
  Based on interviews with some of the BCM’s founding members, Black Consciousness describes the early years of the movement in vivid detail and sets out its guiding principles around a positive black identity, black theology and the practice of Ubuntu through community-based programmes. 
    
  In spiritual conversation with his father, Hlumelo re-examines what it takes to live a Black Consciousness life in today’s South Africa. He also explains why he believes his father – who was brutally murdered by the apartheid police in 1977 – would have supported true radical economic transformation if he were alive today.

  The White House Plumbers - The...

  NOW A FIVE-PART HBO SERIES, STARRING WOODY HARRELSON AND JUSTIN THEROUXThe true story of The White House Plumbers, a secret unit inside Nixon's White House, and their ill-conceived plans stop the leaking of the Pentagon Papers, and how they led to Watergate and the President's demise.On July 17, 1971, Egil “Bud” Krogh was summoned to a closed-door meeting by his mentor—and a key confidant of the president—John Ehrlichman. Expecting to discuss the most recent drug control program launched in Vietnam, Krogh was shocked when Ehrlichman handed him a file and the responsibility for the Special Investigations Unit, or SIU, later to be notoriously known as “The Plumbers.”The Plumbers’ work, according to Nixon, was critical to national security: they were to investigate the leaks of top secret government documents, including the Pentagon Papers, to the press. Driven by blind loyalty, diligence, and dedication, Krogh, along with his co-director, David Young, set out to handle the job, eventually hiring G. Gordon Liddy and E. Howard Hunt, who would lead the break-in to the office of Dr. Fielding, a psychiatrist treating Daniel Ellsberg, the man they suspected was doing the leaking. Krogh had no idea that his decisions would soon lead to one of the most famous conspiracies in presidential history and the demise of the Nixon administration.The White House Plumbers is Krogh’s account of what really happened behind the closed doors of the Nixon White House, and how a good man can make bad decisions, and the redemptive power of integrity. Including the story of how Krogh served time and later rebuilt his life, The White House Plumbers is gripping, thoughtful, and a cautionary tale of placing loyalty over principle.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
