    Secret Powers and Why We Shouldn't Use Them by Manly P. Hall is a thought-provoking exploration of the hidden abilities within human consciousness and the moral, ethical, and spiritual implications of their misuse. Drawing from esoteric traditions, philosophy, and psychology, Hall delves into the nature of these powers, such as clairvoyance, telepathy, and other psychic phenomena, emphasizing their potential to disrupt personal and universal harmony if wielded irresponsibly. Through a balanced perspective, he advocates for self-discipline, ethical development, and a commitment to spiritual growth as prerequisites for engaging with these latent abilities. The work serves as both a cautionary tale and an invitation to introspection, encouraging readers to align with universal principles of integrity and wisdom before attempting to unlock their hidden potential.

    ‘Haunting.’ Jonathan Freedland‘Powerful.’ Daniel Finkelstein 
    The profoundly moving and deeply intimate story of one Jewish family’s fate in the Holocaust, following the thread from Germany to Latvia and to Britain. 
    In November 1941, Peter Bradley's grandparents, Sally and Bertha Brandes, were deported from their home in Bamberg to their deaths in Latvia. 
    The Last Train is a profound and moving homage to Peter’s lost family and to his father who rarely spoke of the traumas through which he lived. 
    It is also his attempt to understand, through the prism of his family’s story, how the Nazis came to conceive and implement the Final Solution. 
    Why did Sally and Bertha’s fellow citizens put them on the train that carried them to the killing fields? 
    Why did the democracies which so loudly condemned Hitler’s persecution of the Jews deny them sanctuary? 
    And why, when Peter's father finally reached Britain after five terrible months in a Nazi concentration camp, was he arrested as an 'enemy alien'? 
    The quest for answers led Peter to explore the origins and evolution of an ancient hatred and the struggles against it of each generation of his family, from the Reformation, through the Enlightenment and the Age of Reform, to the catastrophe of the Holocaust. 
    This is the powerful, poignant story of Peter’s journey through family papers and archives, through works of scholarship and the testimony of survivors, and from Bavaria and Buchenwald to the mass graves of the Baltic. 
    And, reflecting on what he learned, he asks: in the events of our own times, we are all perpetrators or bystanders or resisters; which of those roles do we choose for ourselves? 
    This best and top biography and autobiography of the 20th century is a testament to survival in modern Europe. It is a chilling reminder of the past and a call to action for the future. 
    For fans of Gwen Strauss (The Nine), Tova Friedman (The Daughter of Auschwitz), Wendy Holden (Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day), Limor Regev (The Boy From Block 66), and Never Again Press (Beneath the Winds of War).

    Does your dog get sad when you leave for the day? Does your cat purr because she loves you? Do bears attack when they’re angry? You can’t very well ask them.  
     
    In fact, scientists haven’t been able to reach a consensus on whether animals even have emotions like humans do, let alone how to study them. Yet studies of animal emotion are critical for understanding human emotion and mental illness. 
     
    In The Nature of the Beast, pioneering neuroscientist David J. Anderson describes a new approach to solving this problem. He and his colleagues have figured out how to study the brain activity of animals as they navigate real-life scenarios, like  
    fleeing a predator or competing for a mate. His research has revolutionized what we know about animal fear and aggression. Here, he explains what studying emotions and related internal brain states in animals can teach us about human  
    behavior, offering new insights into why isolation makes us more aggressive, how sex and violence connect, and whether there’s a link between aggression and mental illness. 
     
    Full of fascinating stories, The Nature of the Beast reconceptualizes how the brain regulates emotions—and explains why we have them at all.

    Timothy Venning's series of alternative histories explores the pathways of British events from the Anglo-Saxon Age to the English Civil War. In this volume, he presents an in-depth analysis of the Tudor period. Venning discusses the fateful moments at which history could easily have taken a different turn. 
     
     
     
    In a fascinating series of "what if" scenarios, Venning presents a detailed look at the possible and likely results. While speculative, the scenarios are all plausible and rooted in a firm understanding of actually events and their context. In so doing, Venning gives listeners a clearer understanding of the factors at play and why things happened the way they did, as well as a tantalizing view of what might have been. 
     
     
     
    Key questions discussed include: 
     
     
     
    ● Did the pretenders Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck ever have a realistic chance of a successful invasion/coup? 
     
     
     
    ● If Henry Fitzroy, Henry VIIIs illegitimate son, had not died young, might he have been a suitable King? 
     
     
     
    ● What if Edward VI had not died at fifteen but reigned into the 1560s and 70s? 
     
     
     
    ● How might the Spanish Armada have succeeded in landing an army in England, and with what likely outcome?
