    A former football champion’s engrossing personal story of spirituality and rebellion, and an inspiring call to action against systemic racism. 
    The son of a Jamaican father and a Quebecois mother, Balarama Holness spent his earliest, most formative years on an ashram in West Virginia, learning the principles of equity and austerity, which would guide him through life. It wasn’t until he returned to Montreal at age ten with his mother and twin brother that he encountered virulent racism for the first time. Faced with a system that seemed stacked against him, Holness initially fell between the cracks. 
    Eyes on the Horizon is Holness’s story of lifting himself up through the power of self-determination, spirituality and no small amount of rebellion to confront the systemic racism of his city and his country. He accomplished this first through football, going all the way to a Grey Cup championship, and later through activism and politics. 
    Holness’s personal journey is connected to the social history of Canada, Quebec and the United States. Committed to reshaping society as we know it, he uses lessons from his own life to teach others about racism past and present, and to help people better understand how human beings should live and how to build a truly peaceful and just society for our children.

    Why are honest asylum seekers dismissed as liars? Former refugee and award-winning author Dina Nayeri begins with this question, turning to shocking and illuminating case studies in this book, which grows into a reckoning with our culture’s views on believability. From persuading a doctor that she’d prefer a C-section to learning to “bullshit gracefully” at McKinsey to struggling, in her personal life, to believe her troubled brother-in-law, Nayeri explores an aspect of our society that is rarely held up to the light. For fans of David Grann, Malcolm Gladwell, and Atul Gawande, Who Gets Believed? is a book as deeply personal as it is profound in its reflections on morals, language, human psychology, and the unspoken social codes that determine how we relate to one another.

    We communicate constantly, not just through words but through a rich tapestry of unspoken cues. From the subtle flicker of an eyebrow to the unconscious shift in posture, our bodies are constantly broadcasting messages, often revealing more than consciously intended. 
    This book serves as a guide to understanding this complex and fascinating world of nonverbal communication. We will embark on a journey to unlock the secrets hidden within human interaction.  
    We will explore the evolutionary basis of nonverbal communication, tracing its origins back to our primal ancestors and examining how these innate cues continue to shape our interactions today. 
    We will delve into the significant role of culture in shaping body language, understanding how societal norms and individual experiences influence our expression and interpretation of nonverbal signals. We will examine the anatomy of nonverbal cues in detail, providing a comprehensive overview of facial expressions, posture, gestures, proxemics (the use of space), and paralanguage (vocal cues), each with their own nuanced meanings and power to reveal emotions, intentions, and social dynamics. We'll investigate the art of integrating verbal and nonverbal cues to achieve a deeper understanding of communication, and learn to detect those inconsistencies that might signal deception or underlying emotions. Through practical exercises and real-world examples, you will hone your observational skills, and ability to spot subtle clues others miss. 
    The book goes beyond simply identifying individual cues, guiding you to integrate these observations into a holistic understanding of behavior, fostering enhanced empathy and providing insights into the motivations and feelings behind nonverbal expressions. 
    Ultimately, the knowledge within this book equips you to navigate the intricacies of human interaction with newfound confidence and understanding, enriching your life by fostering stronger and more meaningful relationships.

    For several months before World War II, hundreds of persecuted Jews, mainly from Nazi-occupied Vienna, tried to escape to Northern Ireland. They had learned of a Stormont job-creation scheme to tackle the region's chronic unemployment by offering financial support to skilled professionals.
    Almost all applicants were rejected, and more than 125 of these men, women and children were murdered in the Holocaust.
    Based on extensive archival research, unpublished family memoirs and letters, and interviews with survivors and their descendants, this extraordinary book describes the applicants' desperate efforts to save their families and themselves, and highlights the tireless work done by committed Northern Irish people to rescue them. It also explores how the small numbers of refugees admitted made a major contribution to Northern Ireland's economic, social and cultural life that continues to this day.
