    Just like magicians, spies need to do their job without anyone noticing. In the 1950s, the CIA even hired magicians to teach its agents how to use stealth and trickery. In The Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception (2009), espionage experts H. Keith Melton and Robert Wallace detail how and why the CIA hired its first magician, John Mulholland. They then reproduce Mulholland’s manual of magic for spies - once considered top secret - which taught agents how to evade the eyes of enemies and exchange undetected information.

    New York Times bestselling author Sam Harris is one of the most famous popular thinkers of our day. With a YouTube podcast channel Making Sense of almost half a million subscribers, and almost three million views of his debates with Jordan Peterson. The author of several books, and podcaster, Sam can be described for British audiences as Russell Brand with a neurology doctorate.
    Being Sam Harris challenges the central ideas of Sam's works. Ranging through philosophy, logic, history, religion, the science of neuro-imaging, and more.
    Sam is accused of being a one trick charlatan. A disingenuous showman who uses the technique of Singularity to generate a kaleidoscope of logically flawed and socially dangerous ideas. Despite their neo-liberal hippy patina, Sam's recipes for life demand suicide for the Self. All that remains is the autodidactic, synthesist benevolence of being Sam Harris.

    The globetrotting story of how humans have harnessed the geographical landscape and written ourselves onto our surroundings.Mountains, meridians, rivers, and borders—these are some of the features that divide the world on our maps and in our minds. But geography is far less set in stone than we might believe, and, as Maxim Samson’s Earth Shapers contends, in our relatively short time on this planet, humans have become experts at fundamentally reshaping our surroundings.From the Qhapaq Ñan, the Inca’s “great road,” and Mozambique’s colonial railways to a Saudi Arabian smart city, and from Korea’s sacred Baekdu-daegan mountain range and the Great Green Wall in Africa to the streets of Chicago, Samson explores how we mold the world around us. And how, as we etch our needs onto the natural landscape, we alter the course of history. These fascinating stories of connectivity show that in our desire to make geographical connections, humans have broken through boundaries of all kinds, conquered treacherous terrain, and carved up landscapes. We crave linkages, and though we do not always pay attention to the in-between, these pathways—these ways of “earth shaping,” in Samson’s words—are key to understanding our relationship with the planet we call home.An immense work of cultural geography touching on ecology, sociology, history, and politics, Earth Shapers argues that, far from being constrained by geography, we are instead its creators.

    Following the end of the First World War, Poland was wedged uncomfortably between the two dominant nations of Germany and the Soviet Union. Poland was obliged to plot and negotiate to try and prevent them from realizing their ambitions to eviscerate the country. 
     
     
     
    As well as bitter ethnic battles between Germany and Poland for the political control of Upper Silesia, there were also the burning ambitions of Weimar Germany, and later Nazi Germany, to reclaim lands incorporated into the new state of Poland at Versailles. 
     
     
     
    Despite America's initial support, the US thereafter showed little interest in Poland's predicament. While France was a traditional friend to the Polish peoples, its political influence over eastern European affairs weakened. 
     
     
     
    The emergence of Hitler and the Nazis in Germany did little to bring the countries together. This drove them further apart as the Führer ramped up his rhetorical assault on the perceived injustices of Versailles. 
     
     
     
    London and Paris found themselves in the disagreeable position of seeing no option but to throw their whole weight behind the integrity of the Polish state if they were ever going to make any sort of stand against Nazi aggression.
