Synopsis

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.'

    Are you trapped in a narcissistic relationship and unsure how to break free and reclaim your sense of self? 
    Narcissists and empaths can be the most toxic combination one can ever come across. An empath is a person with a strong need to feel compassion and empathy for others, with the grandiose ability to tune into others’ emotions. This makes empaths vulnerable to the “energy vampires” that they inevitably attract, due to their natural ability to provide for others. 
    Does any of these situations sound familiar? 
    - You're constantly feeling emotionally exhausted, as if your partner is draining your energy. 
    - Your needs and feelings seem always to be sidelined or ignored. 
    - You find yourself walking on eggshells, afraid of triggering your partner's anger or criticism. 
    - You've started doubting your own perceptions and feelings, wondering if you're the one at fault. 
    - You feel isolated from friends and family because of your relationship. 
    - Your partner oscillates between charming affection and cold indifference. 
    - You're experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression, linked to your relationship dynamics. 
    - You keep hoping for a change in your partner, clinging to the good moments, despite the pain. 
    Here's a little sneak preview of what you’ll get: 
    - Narcissistic Relationships 
    - Psychic Abilities 
    - Guided Meditations to Avoid Manipulation 
    - Negative Energies and Toxic Relationships 
    - How to Deal with Narcissists 
    - Can a Narcissist Love? 
    - Signs You're Dating a Narcissist

    'Captivating, mind-boggling and deeply disturbing' – Maureen Freely 
    'Humane, thoughtful and urgent — this book will make you think, make you laugh, make you cry, but also make you burn with rage' – Dr Mary Wellesley 
    A thought-provoking deep dive into the global fertility industry and the commodification of the maternal body 
    Should surrogacy be a paid service, an altruistic act – or even legal at all? 
    Is it right that you can pay more for ‘VIP’ egg donors – and to view their photos? 
    How much, if anything, should breastmilk cost – and who should be allowed to buy it? 
    The global fertility industry is rapidly growing, hugely profitable and morally complex. This an industry where one person’s biological bad luck can be another person’s financial gain. From egg freezing to black-market breastmilk, the maternal body has never been more commodified, yet the ethical, emotional and economic implications are rarely considered. 
    Through a combination of undercover reporting and detailed first-hand accounts – including a surrogate of 12 children, an international embryo courier and a man who buys breastmilk for his IBS – Alev Scott exposes how the IVF, surrogacy and milk industries operate around the world and who is profiting. In doing so, she considers the blurred line between exploitation and empowerment. Who should make money from the maternal body: only the women themselves, anyone or no one? 
    Timely, thought-provoking and compelling, Cash Cow is an unmissable investigation into how desire, desperation and commerce intersect, and the impact the fertility industry has on individuals.

    Coming Clean - The Rise of...

    What has gone wrong with the left—and what leftists must do if they want to change politics, ethics, and minds. 
     
     
     
    Leftists have long taught that people in the West must take responsibility for centuries of classism, racism, colonialism, patriarchy, and other gross injustices. Of course, right-wingers constantly ridicule this claim for its "wokeness." 
     
     
     
    In Coming Clean, Eric Heinzerejects the idea that we should be less woke. In fact, we need more wokeness, but of a new kind. Yes, we must teach about these bleak pasts, but we must also educate the public about the left's own support for regimes that damaged and destroyed millions of lives for over a century—Stalin in the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia, or the Kim dynasty in North Korea. 
     
     
     
    Criticisms of Western wrongdoing are certainly important, yet Heinze explains that leftists have rarely engaged in the kinds of open and public self-scrutiny that they demand from others. Citing examples as different as the Ukraine war, LGBTQ+ people in Cuba, the concept of "hatred," and the problem of leftwing antisemitism, Heinze explains why and how the left must change its memory politics if it is to claim any ethical high ground.

    Featuring voices from the contemporary witchcraft community, A Confluence of Witches is an invitation to explore the authentic intersections of magic, spirituality, personal development, and social justice.A Confluence of Witches aims to highlight how witchcraft has always been a diverse, constantly evolving, culturally specific practice with many lineages and rich traditions. It features essays, spells, and reflections from witches, traditional healers, herbalists, and artists on themes of magical activism, animism, and merging ancient practices with modern technologies, among other mystical subjects. The diverse representation of contributors will honor and celebrate the multicultural and multivalent ways that the witch operates within our society.   With an increased interest in and practice of witchcraft comes a greater need for authentic sources of wisdom that are culturally relevant and sensitive to the many lineages and traditions of witchcraft, healing work, and magic.

These voices come together to illuminate the multitude of ways one can practice.   Contributors to this anthology include: adrienne maree brown, Aja Daashuur, Alejandra Luisa León, Amanda Yates Garcia, Angela Mary Magick, Ariella Daly, Aurora Luna (aka)Baby Reckless, Damiana Calvario, Dori Midnight, Edgar Fabián Frías, Eliza Swann, Jessie Susannah Karnatz, Jezmina Von Thiele, Kiki Robinson, Kimberly Rodriguez, Liz Migliorelli, Madre Jaguar, Maria Minnis, Olivia Ephraim Pepper, Rachel Howe, Sanyu Estelle, Star Feliz
