For readers seeking a deeper understanding of Wilde'Äôs multifaceted genius, "The Journalism of Oscar Wilde" serves as an essential resource. It not only offers a captivating glimpse into the thoughts and critiques of one of literature's most provocative figures but also underscores the relevance of his insights in today's cultural discourse.

    The definitive, insider history of the often turbulent political relationship between the Liberals and Labour.
    Natural allies or fierce competitors? For the past century, Britain's two major centre-left parties have co-existed in sometimes harmonious but more often fraught duopoly, from the 1903 agreement that a prominent Liberal complained was 'nursing into life a serpent which would sting their party to death' to the 1976–77 pact that gave us the phrase 'turkeys voting for Christmas' and beyond, to the failed negotiations that led to the controversial 2010–15 Lib Dem–Conservative coalition.
    Charting 100 years of British political history, Serpents, Goats and Turkeys explores the formal and informal arrangements that have existed between the parties, covering electoral deals, support for minority governments, formal pacts and full coalitions. What have been the overlaps of policy and ideology, and where have the parties been most divided? What explains the periods of co-operation but also the unwillingness or inability to work together for any significant time?
    In the wake of the 2024 'Loveless Landslide', former coalition Cabinet minister David Laws also draws on unpublished records and private diaries from the past thirty years of Lib–Lab wrangling to consider the likely options in the event of a future hung parliament. Should the parties work together? Would they be able to? And what are the prospects for voting reform? The answers to such questions will have major implications for British democracy and the future of our politics.

    What happens when a counterculture revolution collides with a psychopath’s thirst for control? 
    America in the 1960s was a powder keg of political unrest, psychedelic exploration, and generational rebellion. In the chaos, one man manipulated the confusion and turned it into a cult of violence that shocked the world. Charles Manson Anarchy uncovers the psychological, cultural, and social factors that allowed one of America’s most infamous serial killers to thrive in plain sight—and lead others to kill in his name. 
    This book doesn’t just ask how Charles Manson committed his crimes—it reveals why people followed him. 
    Through meticulous research and gripping narrative, this book unpacks the psychology of Manson’s control, the allure of his twisted charisma, and the radicalized backdrop of the 1960s that made his rise possible. You’ll explore how fringe beliefs, drug culture, anti-establishment fervor, and charismatic manipulation intersected to fuel a tragic chapter in American history. 
    Inside you’ll discover: 
    A breakdown of Manson’s early life and formative traumas—and how they shaped his worldview 
    How the 1960s counterculture, music scene, and political unrest created fertile ground for manipulation 
    The psychological techniques Manson used to recruit and control his followers 
    Detailed accounts of the infamous Tate-LaBianca murders and the trial that transfixed a nation 
    The legacy of the Manson Family—and what it teaches us about extremism, cult psychology, and the dark side of idealism 
    If you’re fascinated by true crime, cult psychology, or the turbulent history

    Andrea Jung, the glamorous former head of Avon, was arguably the world's most charismatic and effective CEO, credited with the astonishing turnaround of the venerable brand. Jung seemed incapable of making a wrong move, until, amid declining sales, an investigation by the SEC, and a brand in crisis, she stepped down in late 2012. In Beauty Queen, former Avon VP Deborrah Himsel uses Jung's story as a case study for two timeless leadership questions: What makes great leaders great? And what makes them fail? She explores both Jung's early years of success as well as the combination of missteps that led to her downfall, including her failure to nurture Avon's direct selling channel, the erosion of trust that occurred as a result of frequent decision reversals, and her ignorance of operational details, including how her people secured a license to conduct door-to-door sales in China, which led to a federal investigation. Through interviews with other CEOs, Avon executives past and present, and leadership experts, she explores the unique challenges Jung faced as a female Fortune 500 CEO; the thin line between pride and hubris; and the danger of the so-called "halo effect" in our high-stakes times.
