  Throughout history women have caused wars, defied the rules, and brought men to their knees. Scandalous Women tells the stories of the risk takers who have flouted convention, beaten the odds, and determined the course of world events. 
   
   
   
  ● When Cleopatra (69 BC-30 BC) wasn't bathing in asses' milk, the last pharaoh of the Ptolemaic dynasty ruled Egypt and forged an important political alliance with Rome against her enemies—until her dalliance with Marc Antony turned the empire against her. 
   
   
   
  ● Emilie du Châtelet (1706-1748) shocked society with her unorthodox lifestyle and intellectual prowess—and became a leader in the study of theoretical physics in France at a time when the sciences were ruled by men. 
   
   
   
  ● Long before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus, Ida B. Wells-Barnett (1862-1928) fought to end discrimination and the terrible crime of lynching and helped found the NAACP, but was largely lost in the annals of history. 
   
   
   
  ● Gertrude Bell (1868-1926) left her privileged world behind to become one of the foremost chroniclers of British imperialism in the Middle East, and one of the architects of the modern nation of Iraq.

  'A fitting tribute to the greatest county in England' DAVID SWIFT, author of Scouse Republic
  
  
  Cotton, coal and canals.
  
  Trains, technology and television.
  
  Lancashire has shaped the modern world.
  
  
  Liverpool was once the world's busiest port. Manchester powered the industrial revolution and became a symbol of global free trade. Blackpool invented the working-class seaside resort. All three are situated in the historic county of Lancashire: unique, often misunderstood, sometimes maligned – and at the heart of our national story.
  
  
  In Lancashire, travel writer Chris Moss returns after an absence of four decades. As he visits familiar and unknown corners of his home county, he reaches beyond the clichés to trace lines from the deep past through to the present day.

  The Devil in Disguise - A True...

  She told him he was intelligent — and he believed her. 
  What he didn’t know was that his entire life had been carefully controlled. 
  This powerful Australian true story exposes the devastating reality of coercive psychological control hidden behind family love. 
  Behind closed doors, Devin was praised yet denied autonomy. Protected, yet deliberately kept dependent. He was encouraged to believe he was intelligent while never being taught how to read, write, or function independently — not to empower him, but in ways that kept him unaware of the deeper deception shaping his life. The illusion of capability concealed a system designed to maintain control, quietly limiting his ability to understand what was happening to him. 
  The same patterns shaped his father’s life, where independence was gradually undermined and personal agency steadily eroded. As influence tightened around them, decisions were steered, outcomes manipulated, and both men became increasingly vulnerable to forces they could neither fully see nor effectively resist. 
  As the truth began to surface, loyalty collided with reality. Silence was rewarded. Speaking carried consequences. Even when evidence existed, the system defended itself. 
  The Devil in Disguise is not an act of revenge or accusation. It is a documented true account revealing how coercive control can operate within families — quiet, deniable, and deeply devastating. 
  Perfect for readers interested in: 
  • True stories of psychological abuse 
  • Coercive control within families 
  • Family manipulation and dependency 
  • Trauma, survival, and emotional resilience 
  • Real-life psychological memoirs

  If you’ve ever wondered why people keep talking about Palestine, or the point of keeping up with a long-drawn conflict in the Middle East and what difference you could possibly make, this book is for you. Political analyst and podcaster Walid Jumblatt Abdullah takes on questions that Singaporeans have often raised about Palestine, laying out answers that clarify and inform. 
   
  Walid examines myths (“Could Gaza Have Been Singapore?”) and sheds light on the double standards of Western powers, to whom human rights seem to matter, except for where Palestine is concerned. Explaining how the Palestinians have been systematically dehumanised for decades, the book highlights how they continue to exist nevertheless, their very existence an act of resistance. 
   
  Why Palestine? is an illuminating starting point for newcomers to the issue, and a passionate primer that seasoned activists will welcome for capturing the heart and hope of a long-disenfranchised people and those who support them.
