  When most people hear the word "witch," they immediately think of crones conspiring over a cauldron, a force of dark and vindictive power. But to hundreds of thousands across the world, being a witch is a living, everyday reality, much more varied than the fairytale image. 
   
  Witch Power follows Emma Quilty—herself a witch and an anthropologist—on an immersive journey into contemporary witchcraft, from Witchcamp retreats to "red tent" menstrual events, Voodoo priestesses running ghost tours from their vans to TikTokers casting hexes on a viral scale. 
   
  Attentive to the history of witchcraft, she reveals the role power plays in how the figure of the witch has changed over time to suit the ever-present need to control and demonize women. Because to be a witch is to live in defiance of society's expectations and rules. 
   
  But while the witch is always castigated as a threat, Quilty finds that the witch is never alone: the witch is a survivor and a symbol of resistance. Ultimately, Witch Power is a provocation and an invitation to listeners to experience with the author what it means to embrace witchiness and what witchy feminism could bring to your life.

  The Poignant Being - The...

  Life is full of contradictions-love and loss, creation and destruction, tradition and progress. We spend our days searching for meaning, for connection, for something that makes the struggle worthwhile. But in that search, we often overlook the very things that shape us: the quiet sacrifices, the unspoken fears, the relationships that both define and challenge us. 
  Either you munch on life, or you get munched by life. While we share similarities with previous generations, clinging to outdated beliefs no longer serves us. The world has changed, and what we need today is more kindness, more genuine care for one another-rather than allowing ourselves to be hollowed out by the digital age. This book is an exploration of those forces: the raw, unfiltered experience of being human. It delves into the love of a mother that shapes a child's world, the weight of family expectations, and the tension between who we are and who we hope to become. 
  It asks tough questions: What does it mean to truly love? How do we balance ambition with responsibility? And in a world that demands constant change, how do we hold on to what really matters? Through deeply personal reflections, philosophical musings, and a brutally honest look at life's paradoxes, this work challenges the idea that peace is the ultimate goal. Instead, it dares to argue that greatness-however we define it-is found in embracing struggle, in choosing action over comfort, and in accepting that the journey is never meant to be simple. 
  This book explores philosophy, modern values, and the often-overlooked aspects of life-the things we neglect because giving them attention no longer feels like a priority. But perhaps, in paying attention, we reclaim something essential. 
  For those who find themselves questioning, searching, or simply trying to make sense of it all-this book is for you.

  Bringing the benefits of polyvagal theory to listeners through easy-to-implement exercises. 
   
   
   
  Here, for the first time, is a layperson's explanation of polyvagal theory, an approach to mental health and well-being that has taken the clinical world by storm. A polyvagal approach to life is based on the knowledge that the autonomic nervous system is shaped by early experience and reshaped with ongoing experience. This short book will offer an overview for nonspecialists and provide a series of exercises and meditations (practices) that will allow listeners to tune into their nervous systems, providing calming prompts to build and strengthen ventral vagal connections. 
   
   
   
  This book includes a comprehensive chapter on polyvagal theory, preceded by exercises that focus on mapping, reflecting, listening, deepening, creating, and connecting. Listeners who want to change a pattern and find new rhythm for their nervous systems can use this material to work toward those goals.

  SAS: The History of the SAS

  The authorised history of the SAS by the number one bestselling author of Dunkirk, Joshua Levine. With unheard stories, this is the SAS’s wartime history in vivid and astonishing detail. 
  The SAS began as a lie, a story of a British parachute unit in the North African desert, to convince the Axis they were under imminent threat. The lie was so effective that soon a small band of men were brought together to make it real. These recruits were the toughest and brightest of their cohort, the most resilient, most dynamic and most self-sufficient. Their first commanders, David Stirling and Paddy Mayne, would go down in history as unorthodox visionaries. Yet this book tells much more than the usual origin story of the unit and seeks out less well-known leaders like Bill Fraser, who was essential in helping the SAS achieve fame for their devastating raids. By looking beyond the myth, this book brings back to life a group of men who showed immense bravery and endured unimaginable risks behind enemy lines. 
  Written with the full cooperation of the SAS and with exclusive access to SAS archives, Levine draws on individual stories and personal testimony, including interviews with veterans and family members. The book gives a visceral sense of what it was like to fight and train in the SAS in both North Africa and Europe during the Second World War, focusing on their failures as well as their successes. 
  This book is vivid with the characters of the men, their eclectic personalities, their strengths, weaknesses and many disagreements. Levine has uncovered a remarkable portrait of this enigmatic unit with stories long thought lost to history 
  The book SAS by Joshua Levine, the Sunday Times bestselling author, is a top-notch non-fiction biography that delves into the special forces of Britain during World War II. It's a compelling narrative that showcases the author's expertise in military history. 
  For fans of Damien Lewis (SAS Daggers Drawn), Rowland White (Mosquito), Hugh Mcmanners (Gulf War One), Antony Beevor (Arnhem), and Jonathan Trigg (D-Day Through German Eyes).
