  LGBTQ+ people have more options than ever before when it comes to starting a family, but a lack of both focused information and mainstream representation can leave parents, prospective parents, friends, and relatives in the dark. 
   
   
   
  Authors Lotte Jeffs and Stu Oakley spoke to dozens of experts and queer families, and this hugely needed book is the product of those conversations and their own experiences of becoming parents through IUI and adoption respectively. 
   
   
   
  Ninety percent of queer parenting is just . . . parenting but being LGBTQ+ when you're a parent does bring with it a host of conundrums that mainstream guides—which tend to assume heterosexuality—do not address. 
   
   
   
  From adoption, surrogacy, fertility treatment, and other routes to parenthood, to donors, trans parenting, how to deal with family-focused homophobia, coming out at the school gates, and much more, The Queer Parent is a groundbreaking toolkit for LGBTQ+ parents, parents-to-be, and anyone looking to support their journey. It is a book that redefines the family for the modern age.

  How is the baton of experience passed from generation to generation? What is transmitted? Ardyn Halter explores the legacy of his late father Roman Halter's experiences of the Holocaust. What is received by the "Second Generation" and how can it be expressed in language or art? A journey to Rwanda to complete a commission to commemorate the Rwandan genocide, and a journey to Poland. The Fire and the Bonfire reveals a close - though also difficult - father-son relationship and explores genocide through art, which leads to unexpected discoveries. 
  "This is a book that needs to be read more than once. Ardyn Halter has written about an agonizingly difficult subject with a painter's eye, a novelist's sense of pace and suspense, a philosophical mind - and he has done it superbly." - Hillel Halkin 
  "...this is powerful. Raw and incredibly sad. Your clear eye and honesty had me gasping for breath at times." - Fergal Keane  
  "A hugely eloquent, painfully honest and insightful text... A work of art to be savoured in its own right." - Monica Bohm-Duchen

  People talk about “propaganda” all the time. Although the word seems to have negative connotations, whether it is good or bad depends entirely on the cause behind it and the correctness of the information it carries. 
  In Propaganda (1928), Edward Bernays explores the structure of systems that control the public mind and public opinion, and examines how propaganda affects all political and social practices. He explains how people are controlled by hidden governments that try to achieve public acceptance of certain concepts. Bernays also attempts to establish the role of intelligent propaganda in society.

  This book bundle takes an in-depth look at one of the most insidious forms of psychological manipulation: gaslighting. In this comprehensive 3-in-1 volume, which includes Gaslighting, Obfuscation, and Self-Deception, readers explore the methods that abusers use to distort their victims' perception of reality and undermine their sense of self. 
  Gaslighting, a tactic where an abuser manipulates another into doubting their own memory, perception, and sanity, is explored in vivid detail. Obfuscation highlights the ways in which truth is hidden, twisted, or obscured to confuse and control the victim, while Self-Deception reveals how individuals, often unknowingly, buy into the lies and manipulation, resulting in internalized confusion and self-doubt. The book delves into the complex psychological dynamics of these manipulative strategies and the emotional toll they take. 
  Through powerful case studies and expert analysis, Gaslight Nation empowers readers to recognize these harmful behaviors in their own lives and offers practical steps for breaking free from the cycle of deception and regaining clarity. Whether in personal relationships or larger societal contexts, this book serves as a crucial tool for understanding the devastating effects of gaslighting and finding a path to healing and truth.
