  So that gender equality doesn't go unnoticed
  
  In Switzerland, 72% of media coverage focuses on men. Globally, this figure rises to 82%, according to the Global Media Monitoring Project 2021. The aim of EqualVoice is to increase the visibility of women, create more female role models and give women and men an equal voice. In 2019, the media company Ringier launched the EqualVoice initiative in Zurich. Today, EqualVoice and its partners reach millions of users and its technology is used across Europe.
  
  This book tells the story of a movement that has become a benchmark for greater diversity: What milestones has it reached? What setbacks has it faced? How did the heated internal debates unfold? And what lessons can be learned — for the media industry and for other companies and movements?

  Things are not always as they appear. For the past century forbidden subjects such as UFOs, human abductions, secret space programs, suppressed free energy devices and other fantastic notions have tested the human mind, forcing it to decipher fact from fiction. But is there a common thread? As sites like WikiLeaks and their founders try to unveil war secrets and covert black operations, international governments have little-by-little begun exposing what they've tried for years to keep hidden. Chronicling what he calls the "alternative narrative," Brad Olsen gets down to the middle of it all.
  
  
   Organized into three sections (Secrets, Cosmos and Utopia), Future Esoteric: the Unseen Realms by Ancient Aliens guest Brad Olsen (CCC Publishing, April 2016) examines the flaws in modern history and looks at how ancient esoteric teachings, coupled with accelerated scientific advancements, can be used to help change the dead-end course we humans are running ourselves into. Looking at several alternate paradigms, whether they deal with crop circles, immigrant Nazi leaders to the United States after WWII, or out-of-this-world creatures like Grey aliens, Olsen comes to the conclusion that we have been among the supernatural for centuries; these creatures and advanced military technology have been used as experiments, but this potentially world-changing info has beed denied to the masses for the purpose of control.
  
  
   Through exploration and the integration of cutting-edge science with ancient wisdom, Olsen believes the dawn of our new society is faced on the one hand with global tyranny, or we can overcome the oppression and advance towards universal abundance and enlightenment. Without government and media manipulation this can be possible, and the Golden Age will be attained with the rapid advancement of human consciousness.

  Children of Mars - The Origins...

  Before the Romans could become masters of the Mediterranean, they had to first conquer the people of their own peninsula. This book explores the origins of Roman imperialism and the creation of Rome's early Italian empire, bringing new light and interpretations to this important but problematic period in Roman history. It explains how and why the Romans were able to expand their influence within Italy, often through the use of armed conflict, laying the foundations for their great imperial project. 
   
   
   
  This book critically reexamines and reframes the traditional literary narrative within an archaeologically informed, archaic Italian context. Jeremy Armstrong presents a new interpretation of the early Roman army, highlighting the fluid and family-driven character which is increasingly visible in the evidence. Children of Mars argues that the emergence of Rome's empire in Italy should not be seen as the spread of a distinct "Roman" people across Italian land, but rather the expansion of a social, political, and military network amongst the Italian people. Armstrong suggests that Rome's early empire was a fundamentally human and relational one. While this reinterpretation of early Roman imperialism is no less violent than the traditional model, it alters its core dynamic and nature, and thus shifts the entire trajectory of Rome's Republican history.

  'Bracing, nourishing and wonderfully pro-woman' Victoria Smith, author of Hags
  'A big-hearted, infuriating, clever and highly entertaining read, just like the woman who wrote it' Kathleen Stock, author of Material Girls
  'Personal, passionate memoir-cum-cultural commentary' New Statesman
  'Excellent ... Discursive and engaging' Susanna Rustin, author of Sexed: A History of British Feminism
  What does it mean to be a lesbian now? Has the quest for lesbian liberation stalled, and if so, why?
  Part-memoir, part frontline reportage and part cultural commentary, Julie Bindel examines what defines lesbian culture, love, friendship and happiness today. She distinguishes the particular challenges facing lesbians from the very different experiences of gay men, and asks: why do lesbians so often seem to face particular hostility? Comparing past attitudes to today, she argues that lesbians continue to suffer from bigotry and discrimination because sexism and enforced gendered roles are still left unchallenged. She explores why many of the biggest assaults on lesbian freedom and wellbeing around the world now come, not just from conservatives, but also from so-called progressives, who are often antagonistic to lesbians organising and socialising autonomously.
  Rooted in her own remarkable story, this personal and passionate book is both an investigation into the obstacles to lesbian flourishing, and a testament to the particular delights of being a lesbian.

  Twenty years since its first publication, this new anniversary edition of the Holocaust memoir of George Salton (then Lucjan Salzman), gives listeners a personal and powerful account of his survival through one of the darkest periods in human history. With heartbreaking and honest reflection, the author shares a gripping first-person narrative of his transformation from a Jewish eleven-year-old boy living happily in Tyczyn, Poland, with his brother and parents, to his experiences as a teenage victim of growing persecution, brutality, and imprisonment as the Nazis pursued the Final Solution. The author takes the listener back in time as he reveals in vivid and engrossing details the painful memories of life in his childhood town during Nazi occupation, the forced march before his jeering and cold-eyed former friends and neighbors as they are driven from their homes into the crowded and terrible conditions in the Rzeszow ghetto, and the heart-wrenching memory of his final farewell as he is separated from his parents who would be sent in boxcars to the Belzec extermination camp. 
   
   
   
  This new and substantially reworked twentieth anniversary edition incorporates research based on recently discovered documents related to George Salton's concentration camp experience, a new foreword by Michael Berenbaum, and a new afterword of George Salton's unpublished speeches.
