Synopsis

Taboo Evolution explores the ever-changing landscape of sexual taboos, revealing how these prohibitions have historically molded public discourse and shaped social norms. The book delves into the origins of these taboos, tracing them back to religious doctrines, legal codes, and philosophical thought, emphasizing that these aren't static rules but evolve with social, political, and technological changes. For example, the printing press had a profound impact on the dissemination of sexually explicit materials, further shaping the evolution of censorship.

 
This study uniquely bridges history, sociology, and media studies to give a comprehensive look at the evolution of sexual taboos in Western societies. It looks at how these restrictions are reinforced and challenged through literature, art, scientific research, and political activism.

 
The book begins by defining key terms such as taboo, sexuality, and censorship. It then examines specific case studies across different historical periods and cultural contexts, culminating in an assessment of the current state of sexual taboos in the digital age, considering the impact of the internet and social media.

    A gripping true story of the WWII Guadalcanal Campaign—told with no-holds-barred honesty and humor by a Marine who was there. In August of 1942, Allied forces led by U.S. Marines came ashore on Guadalcanal, launching the first major land offensive against Imperial Japan. M. Sgt. Ore J. Marion of L Company, 3rd Battalion, 5th Regiment was among them. Here, Marion and other men of L-3-5 share a personal account of their experiences over the course of this grueling and protracted campaign.  The stories contained in these pages are harrowing, profane, heartbreaking, irreverent, and deeply human. As with many personal accounts, some memories recorded here are at odds with the official accounts in Washington’s archives. Rather than presenting a clean and consistent narrative, On the Canal reflects the messy business of warfare and human memory.

    The Beltway Beast: Stealing from Future Generations and Destroying the Middle Class, transcends the anger and frustration of American people with their leaders failing to solve the country's problems. It documents our current reality and offers transformational ideas, such as shrinking the Presidential Primary process by utilizing technology, reducing healthcare cost through Smart Patient Credits, and using a Value Based Tax system that transfers power from Washington back to the states.  
The Beltway Beast is a businessman's prospective of Washington and the paralyzing politics that have brought progress to a halt. This book offers new ideas to the problems that are suffocating America. Too often we accept the status quo instead of questioning why things are the way they are. For example, why is the working income taxed at a higher rate than the non-working income? Why do the majority of Americans who are independent have to choose only between Democrats and Republicans for the President of the United States? Why can't we reduce the cost of medical care so that it is affordable instead of relying on health insurance companies as the only solution?  
The Beltway consists of Washington, D.C. and surrounding counties, and the Beast includes the Military-Industrial Complex, multinational corporations, foreign agents, lobbyists and Congress. The Beltway Beast is directed toward a system controlled by the Democrats and the Republicans representing the ghosts of the past with the Senate being made up of 80% men, 67% millionaires and an average age of 62 years. They govern in unison by piling up debt on our children, taxing the working income more than the non-working income, violating our privacy, and giving the illusion of security while keeping us on a perpetual war footing.  
The Beltway Beast makes the case for a new mainstream political party that is fiscally responsible and socially compassionate. Only with new people and a new way of thinking a transformation is possible. Out of every crisis, there is an opportunity and The Beltway Beast offers that glimmer of hope.

‘Five stars from me…’ AL MURRAY 
An unmissable collaboration between two comedy legends – an irresistible, family-friendly deep dive into the murky lives of the British monarchy. 
Willie, Willie, Harry, Stee, Harry, Dick, John, Harry three. One, two, three Neds, Richard Two, Henries, four, five, six, then who? 
Charlie Higson has always been fascinated by the story of the monarchy: from the b*stardly to the benevolent, the brilliant to the brutal. In this wonderful new book, using the famous rhyme he learned at school as his trusty guide, Charlie takes us through the history of this bizarre and long-lasting institution, introducing readers to every single ruler since poor Harold got it in the eye at the Battle of Hastings (or did he?). 
Who were all these people, and what did they do? It’s all here. Bloody treachery? Check. Unruly incest? Check. A couple of Cromwells? Check. The War of Jenkins Ear? Sadly, for Robert Jenkins, check. 
A rip-roaring journey that takes in the Normans, Plantagenets, Tudors, Stuarts, Hanoverians and Windsors, not to mention the infamous Blois (how can we forget them?), Willie, Willie, Harry, Stee is an utterly engrossing and grossly entertaining guide to who ruled when and whether they were any good at it. 
Pre-order your copy of the latest non-fiction biography from Sunday Times bestselling author, Charlie Higson. His exploration of mediaeval and renaissance Europe is a top-performing deep dive into Britain's royalty.

    On 10th August 1901, two English women walked into the past. This is a documented true story that was extensively researched by the women who experienced this timeslip. 
During a visit to the Palace of Versailles, on the anniversary of the French Revolution, two ordinary women saw the French Queen, Marie Antoinette, sitting in the gardens in front of them, along with nobles, gardeners, houses, bridges and stones that when they went back, were no longer there. 
Backed up by a decade of research, the two women decided to publish their extraordinary adventure in 1910. Their timeslip experience has become known as the Ghosts of the Petit Trianon. 
Did these two Edwardian women actually experience time travel, or did they see the ghosts of things that had been? 
Previously, out of print, this is a new edition, edited and translated for the modern age, with additional material that looks at subsequent timeslip type experiences at Versailles.
