  From Acorns to Oaks - An Urgent...

  Michael Heseltine

  When Michael Heseltine wrote his acclaimed autobiography, Life in the Jungle, he assumed his political career was over. He returned to Haymarket, his publishing business, and intended to explore more of the world and pursue his passions outside politics.
  His assumption was wrong. David Cameron called him, tentatively at first but gradually with increased responsibility, back to the corridors of power.
  This second memoir is a potpourri of reminiscences about Heseltine's life and previously unexplored aspects of his stellar political career. But the main reason for Heseltine taking up his pen again has been to look back on the fundamental changes he was able to mastermind while in government and to set out the policies that are urgently needed to unite the country by driving growth, increasing prosperity and restoring hope. He combines this with new revelations about the seismic Westland scandal, the establishment cover-up that caused him to resign from Margaret Thatcher's Cabinet, and a damning assessment of what he considers the grievous act of self-harm inflicted on Britain by Brexit.
  This extraordinary new memoir offers an urgent agenda to rebuild Britain from one of our last great statesmen, who has been at the forefront of business and politics for the past sixty years.

  In a shattered America ruled by tyranny and fear, freedom is on the brink of extinction. 
  Once a beacon of democracy, the United States has fallen under the iron grip of a ruthless autocrat and his sinister regime. Behind the scenes, a billionaire technocrat orchestrates a surveillance state so vast and oppressive, no one escapes its gaze. As white nationalist militias enforce brutal policies and entire populations vanish into the night, a secret resistance rises from the shadows. 
  Led by the fearless Sophia Navarro, the elite Black Aegis Division fights a desperate shadow war against the Ivory Empire's monstrous machine. When Sophia discovers her long-lost mother may be imprisoned within the regime's most feared black site, Obsidian, she must lead a daring mission into the heart of darkness—risking her life, her team, and the last flicker of hope for humanity.

  The Story of Witches - Folklore...

  The witch – malevolent, magical, multi-faceted - has walked among us for centuries.
  Demonic and deviant or liberated and revered, in this enchantingly illustrated book, Willow Winsham explores the many guises of the witch across folklore, history and superstition.
  From Hekate to Baba Yaga, from shape-shifting hares to Macbeth, the book starts with a rich dive into the ideas of the witch in myth, legend and fairytale. Next follows an exploration of popular belief and superstition during the witch trials across Europe and the United States, one of the most tumultuous and bloody of our collective history. The last section brings us to more recent times, exploring how how the image and identity of the witch has been reclaimed and reinvented, the significance of the Wheel of the Year, the advent of Wicca and modern Witchcraft and beyond.
  Finally and most crucially, we are left with the vital question: what have we learned from the past and what is the best way to approach our – often terrible – shared history of the witch?

  Don’t Go - Stories of...

  Multiple times a day, in cities across the US and beyond, a simple yet powerful message is repeated by the well-meaning, the ignorant, and the bigoted: “don’t go”—avoid at all costs those Black and Brown disinvested neighborhoods that have become bywords for social disorder and urban decay. 
   
  This book is a collection of intimate stories that uncover the hidden influence of both subtle and overt “don’t go” messages and the segregation they perpetuate in Chicago. Told by everyday people to Tonika Lewis Johnson and Maria Krysan—a Black artist and a White academic who met through their shared passion for anti-segregation work—the stories paint a rich picture of life in a segregated city. 
   
  One by one, the storytellers upend pessimism with candid, deeply personal, humorous, and heartbreaking tales, and with novel ideas for simple actions that can serve as antidotes to both racism and “place-ism.” 
   
  By inviting readers into the lives of regular people who have ignored the warning to stay away from “don’t go” neighborhoods or who live in those very same neighborhoods, the stories in Don’t Go illuminate the devastating consequences of racial segregation and disinvestment as well as the inevitable rewards of coming together. 
   
  “Don’t Go is a remarkable piece of work that can change how we all live. The human voices and engaging, innovative approach do more than a mountain of data ever could to bridge racial barriers. This is a powerful and compelling book.”—Lawrence D. Bobo, Harvard University 
   
  This audiobook is narrated by Robb Moreira, Jonathan Todd Ross, Kevin R. Free, Nan McNamara, Marisol Ramirez, Cindy Kay, Jasmin Walker, Lynnette R. Freeman, Tonika Lewis Johnson, and Maria Krysan.

  Is it our biological destiny to seek the divine? Is faith in a higher power a survival trait? On God and the Brain, Dr. Andrew Newberg presents intriguing evidence that the human brain is a "believing machine"—and that our capacity for self-transcendence and spirituality helps drive our evolution as a species. 
  This pioneer of brain studies presents the first audio course on his groundbreaking research into the fascinating links between faith, neurobiology, and the mysteries of the psyche, including:  •  Why this emerging science enriches both the faithful and the skeptical  •  How prayer and meditation enhance your health—tips for tailoring a spiritual regimen that suits your individual needs  •  How the world's spiritual paths uniquely shape the brain and mind  •  The "myth-making brain"—the survival value of our storytelling and human imagination  •  The biology of forgiveness—why this critical spiritual skill is so important to your physical and psychological wellness 
  No matter what you believe—or don't believe—about God, the parts of your brain that manifest spiritual experience have a profound impact on your entire identity. With his balanced approach of spiritual wonder and scientific rigor, Dr. Andrew Newberg is a leader in exploring the uncharted territory where our human bodies overlap with our experience of the sacred. On God and the Brain, he shares core insights that will deepen your understanding of our most human gift—the experience of the divine. 
  Course objectives:  •  Describe how our spiritual beliefs and practices affect our physical and mental health  •  Compile a detailed account of the entire nervous system, the different areas of the brain and what they are responsible for, both physically and emotionally  •  Discuss the history of religion and how its importance and practices have shifted in the past century  •  Discuss the results of Newberg's studies of spirituality, and discuss why spirituality is hard to measure in a test-like hypothesis  •  Assess the basic ways in which spiritual practices differ from one another, and also how they share some common characteristics
