  Shadowy geniuses whispering, Rasputin-like, into the ears of our elected politicians under a cloak of secrecy, or a crucial but undervalued cog in the machinery of government? … Or just a rag-tag band of weirdos and misfits?
  Despite the acres of speculation devoted to special advisers from Alastair Campbell to Dominic Cummings, their role is much misunderstood. Who are the people Piers Morgan once called 'these miserable little creatures' and just how much influence do they have?
  Peter Cardwell served as SpAd to four Cabinet ministers, acting as media adviser, political fixer, troubleshooter and occasional wardrobe consultant. In this candid, compelling and frequently hilarious insider account, he reveals what the job really involves, from dealing with counter-terror emergencies in Cobra to explaining to the Justice Secretary what a dental dam is, to having your inside leg measured in a government office.
  Packed with advice on navigating the perks and pitfalls of the job, The Secret Life of Special Advisers will inform and entertain anyone who has ever wondered what these mysterious figures really do all day.

  A structural engineer examines the seven most basic building blocks of engineering that have shaped the modern world. 
   
   
   
  Some of engineering's mightiest achievements are small in scale, even hidden—and yet, without them, the complex machinery on which our modern world runs would not exist. In Nuts and Bolts, Roma Agrawal examines seven of these extraordinary elements: the nail, the wheel, the spring, the lens, the magnet, the string, and the pump. 
   
   
   
  From the physics behind both Roman nails and modern skyscrapers to rudimentary springs that inspired lithium batteries, Agrawal shows us how even the most sophisticated items are built on the foundations of these ancient and fundamental breakthroughs in engineering. Agrawal explores an array of intricate technologies—dishwashers, spacesuits, microscopes, suspension bridges, breast pumps—making surprising connections and explaining how they work. Along the way, she recounts the stories of remarkable scientists and engineers from all over the world, and reveals how engineering has fundamentally changed the way we live.

  Empire of Liberty - A History of...

  In 1789, the United States stood at a turning point. After years of conflict during the American Revolution and an uncertain postwar period under the Articles of Confederation, the country was in need of stronger national leadership. The new Constitution, ratified in 1788, was designed to create a more effective federal system while still preserving the ideals of liberty and republicanism. This document was a compromise between those who wanted a powerful central government and those who feared tyranny. It created three branches of government—executive, legislative, and judicial—each with checks and balances to prevent abuse of power. The Bill of Rights, added shortly after ratification, helped ease concerns by protecting individual freedoms such as speech, religion, and the right to a fair trial. 
  With the Constitution in place, attention turned to the task of putting it into practice. George Washington was unanimously elected as the first president, taking office in April 1789. His presence offered reassurance to many citizens who trusted his leadership and commitment to republican values. Washington worked to establish the authority of the executive branch without appearing monarchical. He formed the first presidential cabinet, appointing Thomas Jefferson as Secretary of State, Alexander Hamilton as Secretary of the Treasury, and Henry Knox as Secretary of War. This team would help shape the future direction of the republic. 
  The first Congress, meanwhile, worked to set up the basic structures of the new government. They created the federal court system through the Judiciary Act of 1789 and established executive departments. They also passed revenue legislation to fund the government’s activities. One of the early and pressing tasks was addressing the national debt from the Revolution. Alexander Hamilton proposed a financial plan that included federal assumption of state debts, the creation of a national bank, and new taxes.
