    The world of mankind is changing. Terminology is changing, adapting, evolving and being created. Nothing in society is changing more than gender terminology and almost nothing is causing more division. 
     
    It is changing what previous generations deemed to be unacceptable. Indeed much of what is now accepted and even promoted would have once placed millions in prison and worse. It was not so long ago that one of the world's greatest minds, Alan Turin, was chemically castrated for being gay. The man helped us to rid the world of the Nazi scourge and yet he ended his life in misery because of a society that saw him as disgusting. 
     
    Generations argue with each other today over the same issues and more. Today we argue about whether somebody who claims to feel to be a member of the opposite sex should be allowed in their toilets and changing rooms. The right wing traditionalists are aghast at the very idea. And yet today's youth seem to accept it easily. The difference is upbringing and influence. There is now a bewildering array of titles, names and designations to understand. From LGBTQ, gay, homosexual, transsexual, transgender and gender fluid to MtF, FtM, pangender, agender and tranvestism. There is little wonder that the previous generation is having difficulty understanding just what is happening, especially when we consider that even those within these categories argue about definitions. 
     
    In this book we are going to lift the veil on the world of the Transgender and reveal the secrets of a world most misunderstand.

    The Bare-Knuckled Truths of Edward BernaysYou may not know Edward Bernays, but Edward Bernays knows you.  His 1923 classic Crystallizing Public Opinion set down the principles that corporations and government have used to influence and manipulate public attitudes over the past century, and the mass media continues that practice today.This seminal work on how public opinion is created and shaped, offers a glimpse into the world of propaganda and advertising. Bernays, who believes the public behaves like a herd of animals, shows how ideas about what to eat, and how we should look and dress can easily be put into our heads. He outlines how the masses can be controlled in whatever way the influencer chooses.This original and complete edition includes a new Introduction by PEN Award-winning historian, Mitch Horowitz.By adapting the ideas that this pioneering PR strategist, who considered himself part of an intellectual and economic elite entitled to govern public opinion and global policy, governments and advertisers have been able to “regiment the mind.” His work explains the popularity of today’s TV news shout-fests and angry social media posts because, as Bernays observed, crowds love a contest. This crowd-contest dynamic fuels the hostile and sarcastic comment chains that populate Twitter, Facebook, and other social media outlets.We know that beliefs can gain sudden popularity based on the public’s proclivity for seven factors: “flight-fear, repulsion-disgust, curiosity-wonder, pugnacity-anger, self-display-elation, self-abasement-subjection, parental-love-tenderness.”Named as one of the 100 most influential Americans of the 20th Century by Life magazine, Bernays’ clients included the American Tobacco Company, several U.S. presidents and the opponents of the Guatemalan revolution. This Austrian-born nephew of Sigmund Freud made a study of the different ways to use propaganda.  "Crystallizing Public Opinion" was his first major effort to sell himself and his philosophy of public relations.

    - Vocabulary taught through language-in-use to build the learners’ vocabulary through use rather than memorisation of rules

    DESCRIPTION: 
    My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world. Especially in our country, where English serves as the lingua franca, a grammar course has to offer not only an exposition of the pedagogy but also the exhibition of the utility of that pedagogy. The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary. While the level of exposure to English of all learners may be different, a grammar series should aid in the development of a certain level of confidence amongst the learners, with the end result being that they are able to converse without hesitation in English.

    The last year of the war saw Russian offensives that cleared the Germans out of their final strongholds in Finland and the Baltic states, before advancing into Finnmark in Norway and the east European states that bordered Germany: Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. By spring 1945 the Red Army had reached to Vienna and the Balkans, and had thrust deep into Germany where they met American, French, and British troops advancing from the west. The final days of the Third Reich were at hand. Berlin was first surrounded, then attacked and taken. Hitler's suicide and his successors' unconditional surrender ended the war. 
     
     
     
    For writers and historians who concentrate on the Western Allies and the battles in France and the Low Countries, the Eastern Front comes as a shock. The sheer size of both the territories and the forces involved; the savagery of both weather and the fighting; the appalling suffering of the civilian populations of all countries; and the wreckage of towns and cities—it's no wonder that words like Armageddon are used to describe the annihilation. 
     
     
     
    A must-listen narrative history, Red Army into the Reich provides a detailed account of how the Red Army pushed west and into Berlin in 1945.
