  'A work of engaging pop philosophy and accessible social science [and] a boisterous dissection of the forces jellifying our minds' Sunday Times
  Includes brand new material covering the US election and Brexit
  
  Every day, many people will try to change your mind, but they won't reason with you. Instead, you'll be nudged, anchored, incentivised and manipulated in barely noticeable ways. It's a profound shift in the way we interact with one another. 
  
  Philosopher James Garvey explores the hidden story of persuasion and the men and women in the business of changing our minds. From the covert PR used to start the first Gulf War to the neuromarketing of products to appeal to our unconscious minds, he reveals the dark arts practised by professional persuaders.
  
  How did we end up with a world where beliefs are mass-produced by lobbyists and PR firms? Could Google or Facebook swing elections? Are new kinds of persuasion making us less likely to live happy, decent lives in an open, peaceful world?
  
  Is it too late, or can we learn to listen to reason again? The Persuaders is a call to think again about how we think now.

  Discover the untold stories of the women who helped shape a nation. Women in American History by Grace Humphrey offers an inspiring look into the lives of extraordinary women from America’s earliest days through the 19th century. From Pocahontas, who forged an unlikely bond between Native Americans and English settlers, to Sacajawea, whose guidance proved pivotal to the Lewis and Clark Expedition, these accounts highlight courage, vision, and perseverance. 
  You’ll meet Anne Hutchinson, who fought for religious freedom, Betsy Ross, whose needle stitched the first American flag, Molly Pitcher, who took up arms on the battlefield, and Martha Washington, whose strength supported a revolutionary leader. Each chapter celebrates these remarkable women as more than historical footnotes—they are icons of determination who left an enduring impact on the American story. 
  Narrated by Kris Keppeler, this audiobook is a tribute to the often-overlooked women who played vital roles in shaping America’s legacy.

  We all know about Washington's crossing of the Delaware and Betsy Ross's stitching together the Stars and Stripes, but how about a little-known, valid reason for the war itself and why General George was able to survive a plague that wiped out many of his fellow countrymen? 
   
   
   
  History buff Tim Rowland provides an entertaining look at happenings during and surrounding the Revolutionary War that you won't find in history books. He digs into the war's major events and reveals the unknown, bizarre, and often wildly amusing things the participants were doing while breaking away from Great Britain. 
   
   
   
  For example, conventional wisdom says that "no taxation without representation" was an important reason for the revolution, but not in the way we've been told. Strange but true, the spark that touched off the revolution was in fact a tax cut. 
   
   
   
  During the French and Indian War and then again in the first year of the revolution, the British were accused of biological warfare. So feared was the disease that soldiers began to illegally inoculate themselves. Washington himself was immune, thanks to a Caribbean trip taken as a young man when his brother Lawrence sought a cure for tuberculosis.
