    How to Become Famous - Lost...

    It's hard to imagine our world without its stars and celebrity geniuses—they become a part of our culture and history, seeming permanent and preordained. But as Cass Sunstein shows in this startling book, that is far from the case. Focusing on both famous and forgotten (or simply overlooked) artists and luminaries in music, literature, business, science, politics, and other fields, he explores why some individuals become famous and others don't and offers a new understanding of the role of greatness, luck, and contingency in the achievement of fame. 
     
     
     
    First, Sunstein examines recent research—on informational cascades, power laws, network effects, and group polarization—to probe the question of how people become famous. He explores what ends up in the history books, in the great religious texts, and in the literary canon—and how that changes radically over time. He delves into the rich and entertaining stories of a diverse cast of famous characters, from John Keats, William Blake, and Jane Austen to Bob Dylan, Ayn Rand, and Stan Lee—as well as John, Paul, George, and Ringo. 
     
     
     
    How to Become Famous takes you on a fun, captivating, and at times profound journey that will forever change your perspective on the latest celebrity's "fifteen minutes," the nature of memory, success and failure in business, and our enduring fascination with fame.

    Winner of the Best Non-Fiction by a Parliamentarian category at the Parliamentary Book Awards 2023
    With a Foreword by Lord Hague of Richmond
    The Intelligence Corps is one of the smallest and most secretive elements of the British Army. It has existed in various guises since the early twentieth century, but it was only formally constituted in July 1940. In this book, Michael Ashcroft tells the astonishing stories of some of its most courageous and ingenious figures, who have operated all over the world from the First World War to the present day.
    Whether carrying out surveillance work on the street, monitoring and analysing communications, working on overseas stakeouts, receiving classified information from a well-placed contact or interrogating the enemy in the heat of war, a hugely diverse range of people have served in the Corps, often supplementing their individual professional skills with original thinking and leadership in the name of the Crown. This book pays tribute to them and shows why, in the words of the 1st Duke of Marlborough, 'No war can be conducted successfully without early and good intelligence.'

    This book contains the following two titles: 
    - The Appeal to Emotion Fallacy: Logical fallacies are errors in reasoning that undermine the validity of an argument. They are often used unintentionally, but in many cases, they are deliberately employed to manipulate or persuade others. A logical fallacy may seem convincing on the surface, yet it lacks a sound basis when scrutinized more closely. Understanding logical fallacies is crucial because they can mislead audiences, derail thoughtful discussion, and obstruct the pursuit of truth. 
    - The Just-World Hypothesis: The Just-World Hypothesis is a psychological concept that suggests people have a deep-seated belief that the world is inherently fair, where individuals get what they deserve. This belief leads people to assume that good things happen to good people, and bad things happen to bad people. It is a cognitive bias that serves as a mechanism for reducing feelings of anxiety or uncertainty about the randomness and chaos of the world. This belief in a just world helps individuals to feel more in control of their lives and less vulnerable to the uncertainties of the world around them.
