  The authorities told folk what they ought to believe, but what did they really believe? Throughout Scottish history, people have believed in fairies. They were a part of everyday life, as real as the sunrise, and as incontrovertible as the existence of God. While fairy belief was only a fragment of a much larger complex, the implications of studying this belief tradition are potentially vast, revealing some understanding of the worldview of the people of past centuries.
  This book, the first modern study of the subject, examines the history and nature of fairy belief, the major themes and motifs, the demonising attack upon the tradition, and the attempted reinstatement of the reality of fairies at the end of the seventeenth century, as well as their place in ballads and in Scottish literature.

  She signed up for the sisterhood, free cars, and the promise of a successful business of her own. Instead, she ended up with an addiction, broken friendships, and the rubble of a toppled pyramid . . . scheme. 
  Hey, Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and the Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing is the eye-opening, funny, and dangerous personal story of author Emily Lynn Paulson rising to the top of the pyramid in the multilevel marketing (MLM) world, only to recognize that its culture and business practices went beyond a trendy marketing scheme and into the heart of white supremacy in America. 
  A significant polemic on how MLMs operate, Hey, Hun expertly lays out their role in the cultural epidemic of isolation and the cult-like ideologies that course through their trainings, marketing, and one-on-one interactions. 
  Equally entertaining and smart, Paulson’s first-person accounts, acerbic wit, and biting commentary will leave you with a new perspective on those “Hey Hun” messages flooding your inbox.

  A Question of Standing - The...

  The mission of the CIA has always been intelligence. Seventy-five years ago, in the year of its creation, the National Security Act gave the agency, uniquely in world history up to that point, a democratic mandate to pursue that mission of intelligence. It gave the CIA a special standing in the conduct of United States foreign relations. That standing diminished when successive American presidents ordered the CIA to exceed its original mission. When they tasked the agency secretly to overthrow democratic governments, the United States lost its international standing, and its command of a majority in the United Nations General Assembly. Such dubious operations, even the government's embrace of assassination and torture, did not diminish the standing of the CIA in United States public opinion. However, domestic interventions did. CIA spying on domestic protesters led to tighter congressional oversight from the 1970s on. 
   
   
   
  A Question of Standing offers a balanced narrative and perspective on recognizable episodes in the CIA's history. Famous incidents include the Bay of Pigs invasion, the War on Terror, 9/11, the weapons of mass destruction deception, the Iran estimate of 2007, the assassination of Osama bin Laden, and Fake News. The book also defends the CIA's exposure of foreign meddling in United States elections.

  "Dark Psychology Mastery Vol is a masterful combination of two profound books by Michael Pace, a trailblazer who introduced the world to "Dark Psychology" in 2014. This volume, bringing together two distinct yet complementary areas of psychological manipulation and influence, offers an in-depth exploration of the darker aspects of human interaction and mind control. 
  Michael Pace, following his seminal work "Dark Psychology 101" that sent shockwaves in 2015, continues to unravel the complex layers of the human psyche in this compelling compilation. The first part of the volume, "Dark NLP: How To Use Neuro-linguistic Programming For Self Mastery, Getting What You Want, Mastering Others And To Gain An Advantage Over Anyone," delves into the world of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), a tool so potent that its full potential has been shrouded in secrecy. Pace skillfully combines critical insights from both psychology and NLP, offering readers a unique opportunity to master their own lives before extending their influence over others. This book is a guide to harnessing the power of NLP, from creating deep connections instantly to achieving personal goals and mastering the art of influence. 
  The journey deepens with the second part, "Dark Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: How to Stealthily Use CBT Methods To Influence And Manipulate Anyone’s Mind." Here, Pace takes a familiar therapeutic approach – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – and reveals its darker application. Dark CBT emerges as a powerful technique for personal success, enabling readers to subtly manipulate and influence others, molding situations and people to their advantage. This section of the book is not just a revelation; it's a strategy for personal empowerment, teaching you to heal and influence simultaneously.

  In Their Own Words - Testimony...

  What is the cost of an education? 
  Is education an additive process or a reductive one? 
  How does one weigh the benefits of tradition against the threat of being at odds with the future? 
  How does one refuse the offer of a better life for their children? 
  What if the offer is compulsory? 
  What happens when the tree of knowledge bares rotten fruit? 
  While the history of Canada's Residential School program is only just beginning 
  to be unearthed, there are already enough first hand accounts to begin asking 
  some of these questions. The words of the individuals included in this book 
  offer just a glimpse of the results of the effort of one group of people to 
  educate people who were in many cases not seeking the knowledge being 
  offered. These are tales of lessons learned, languages lost, traditions 
  replaced, & charity corrupted.
