  On the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, the "Dean of Legal Analysts" reveals the gritty, forensic truth behind four decades spent in the crosshairs of power. 
  Most people know Jonathan Turley as the calm, professorial voice on their screens during the nation’s darkest constitutional hours. They see the sharp three-piece suit and the record-breaking congressional testimonies. What they don’t see is the "Unseen Struggle"—the secret proceedings, professional isolation, and high-stakes missions that never make the news. 
  In this explosive biography, Troy Crawford pulls back the curtain on the "Unseen Architect" of American dissent. From the toxic, "non-existent" pits of Area 51 to a white-knuckle, 1,600-mile emergency pandemic drive to save a client from a Supermax prison, this is a raw dive into the cost of protecting our most basic freedoms. 
  Inside the Hidden Battles:The Ghost in the Machine: Turley’s fight against the "Architecture of Silence" at secret military bases where the law simply evaporated.The Impeachment Oracle: A behind-the-scenes look at the Clinton and Trump hearings from the perspective of the "Man Without a Country"—the lone witness defending the Madisonian Guardrails in a room full of rage.The Digital Dark Age: A forensic autopsy of the "Censorship Industrial Complex," exposing how Big Tech and government created a "Speech Phobia" to muzzle the American mind. 
  As we navigate the Age of Rage, Turley’s journey serves as a final warning. The right to dissent is the only thing standing between the Republic and the Void. 
  They wanted his silence. They got his testimony. Now, you get the truth.

  Ten Ways to Find Love and How to...

  A guide to romance in the digital world.  
   
  Everyone is looking for love … but the search for love in the twenty-first century is fraught with obstacles (not least among them pandemics), uncertainties (does romantic love really exist, and if it does, are we worthy of it?) and contradictions (the popularity of dating apps versus our cynicism about them).  
   
  Although modern society and media have sold us the fairytale of that one big, romantic love – chemistry, sparks, passion – the majority of people don’t think a big love can be discovered on dating apps. Which is a shame, since so many of us find ourselves on them! Sure, you can find a hook-up, but that person needs to be announced by some sort of special, face-to-face, meet-cute experience.  
   
  Complicating the issue is our consumer culture’s fixation on the disposable and the new. When it comes to finding love, many of us become stuck in a cycle of looking for the next, even better relationship. Ironically, while we’re on this quest for romantic novelty, we may also be craving long-term partnerships, feeling like failures if we don’t achieve them. But then again … the stuff that makes up these long-term partnerships doesn’t look like fun – it looks more like work.  
   
  How can we reconcile these conflicting desires?  
   
  A media commentator, podcaster and academic, with a PhD in dating apps and intimacy, Dr Lisa Portolan has conducted hundreds of interviews and surveys over many years on the question of what love looks like in the digital age. Here she draws on her findings to present strategies to help you navigate the complexities of real-world relationships in order to achieve – and maintain – a successful, committed partnership. Case studies are woven throughout, authentic voices representing all aspects of the seeking, finding and keeping of love.  
   
  And what is the most profound lesson to be drawn from this incisive, compassionate, often humorous handbook? Ultimately, the pursuit of love is not just about finding a soulmate – it’s about becoming a better version of ourselves in the process.

  This literary biography is “a story of obsession and the search for pure childhood . . . Moving, charming, a revelation” (Los Angeles Times).   J. M. Barrie, Victorian novelist, playwright, and author of Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up, led a life almost as interesting as his famous creation. Childless in his marriage, Barrie grew close to the five young boys of the Davies family, ultimately becoming their guardian and surrogate father when they were orphaned.   Andrew Birkin draws extensively on a vast range of material by and about Barrie, including notebooks, memoirs, and hours of recorded interviews with the family and their circle, to describe Barrie’s life, the tragedies that shaped him, and the wonderful world of imagination he created for the boys. Updated with a new preface and including photos and illustrations, this “absolutely gripping” read reveals the dramatic story behind one of the classics of children’s literature (Evening Standard).   “A psychological thriller . . . One of the year’s most complex and absorbing biographies.” —Time   “[A] fascinating story.” —The Washington Post

  Acclaimed South African writer Darrel Bristow-Bovey has a deeply personal relationship with the story of Endurance and in this lyrical, loving journey into past and present, into humanity and the natural world, above and below the Antarctic ice, he revisits the famous story from a contemporary perspective, wondering why it seems to mean more today than ever before, and exploring our changing relationship with ourselves and the ice, and with our shared story of survival. 
   
  Drawing on literature, natural history, personal memoir and the thrilling epics of polar adventure, this is finally a celebration of the human spirit and the delivering powers of calculated optimism. If the story of Ernest Shackleton and Endurance tells us anything, it's that in the face of self-inflicted natural disaster, when there's no one to help us but ourselves, we can still pull off a miracle or two. From the bottom of the Weddell sea, Endurance still whispers that not all is lost, and not forever.
