  This book is about understanding how much neurodivergence and masking has unconsciously shaped so many people without them realising. For generations we have not recognised that many people who are highly adapted to a neurotypical world haven't been acknowledged or supported, especially women and girls. It explores the experience of attention divergent and highly sensitive people (often referred to as ADD or ADHD), Autistic people (often referred to as ASD) and people who are both (Dualies), in a non- pathologizing way. It challenges the current use of pathologizing language and explores the intersection of all the other shaping influences on how we make sense of this identity, including trauma, family of origin and overlaps between different types of neurodivergence. It explores the likely evolutionary components of how humans have developed different kinds of brains and attributes and makes suggestions for developing a more inclusive and validating picture of neurodiversity in schools, the workplace, families and friendship groups. Helen draws on her own and her partner's experiences of being neurodivergent, as well as drawing from stories of her friends, family and clients to develop a greater understanding of why it is important to embrace this identity if it applies to you. Helen is a psychologist who has worked with people for forty years. She describes how important it is to realise how masking neurodivergence stops people from realising their full potential, and where embracing it helps personal growth and a positive identity.

  Border Control - The Global...

  Border control, at its core, is a delicate balance between maintaining national security and upholding human rights, between enforcing laws and fostering economic opportunities. As global mobility increases through migration, trade, and technology, managing borders has evolved into a complex issue that transcends national boundaries. It’s no longer just a matter of controlling who enters and exits a country; it’s about managing flows of people, goods, information, and even ideas in ways that protect citizens while also adhering to international law. 
    
  The importance of border control is particularly evident in the context of rising global challenges, such as terrorism, organized crime, and pandemics. These threats have pushed governments to implement stringent measures to secure their territories. However, such measures often come at the expense of migrants seeking refuge from war, poverty, and persecution. The political and humanitarian debates around immigration and border control have intensified in recent years, with many countries grappling with how to secure their borders without violating the rights of vulnerable populations. 
  Complicating this issue further is the reality of globalization. While the free flow of goods, services, and information has been the cornerstone of global trade and cooperation, it has also made it easier for individuals to move across borders—both legally and illegally. This has led to increased challenges for border agencies, who are now tasked with identifying and managing the movement of millions of people each year. Additionally, technological advancements, while offering new tools for surveillance and control, also raise concerns about privacy, data security, and the ethics of surveillance practices.

  The Opium Queen

  Olive Yang was a widely mythologized genderqueer lesbian opium-pioneer in the 1950s heyday of the Golden Triangle. After escaping an arranged marriage with a noble cousin, Olive felt that she had no choice but to lead a life of banditry with an anti-communist rebel army supported by the CIA. As her smuggling empire grew, she became so powerful and infamous that novelists were inspired to write about her evil ruthlessness and beauty. Yet, Olive’s real life and identity remained a mystery to many. Opium Queen is a journey to uncover the true story behind the propaganda and legends. Declassified intelligence documents portray Olive as a critical operator in one of the most important fronts of the clandestine Cold War against China. Through extensive interviews with the Yang family, Olive emerges as a complex anti-hero, searching for a way to live as an open homosexual in an era when such a lifestyle was considered deeply shameful in Burma. The great military alliances that facilitate narcotics traffic in Myanmar today are Olive’s lasting legacy in the Golden Triangle, as is the disenfranchisement of the people of Kokang. Through the story of Olive’s formidable life, Opium Queen examines historic events that underpinned critical diplomatic relationships between the U.S., Myanmar, and China and were at the root of Myanmar’s current political crisis.

  Did you know that the Klondike Gold Rush was the biggest and fastest movement of people in North American history? 
  From 1897 to 1898, over 100,000 men and women walked, rode, paddled, and sailed thousands of miles to the Klondike River area of the Canadian Yukon in search of gold. 
  Out of those 100,000 people, only about a quarter ever made it to the goldfields, and those who did mostly went home empty-handed. But for a very lucky, hard-working, and fortunate few, the goldfields of the Yukon meant fame and fortune beyond their wildest dreams. 
  In this audiobook by Captivating History, you will discover the truth about the famous Klondike Stampede. 
  Here’s just a small “nugget” of what you’ll discover:The Klondike River area of the Yukon was the richest gold find in history to that date.The first “strike” was made entirely by accident.The first man to discover gold in the Klondike was a First Nations man named Skookum Jim, but his white brother-in-law filed the first claim because it was felt that a native claim would not be honored.The Gold Rush began with a tale told in a bar.Thousands of cheechakos or “tenderfeet” with no experience in the woods made their way to the Yukon.Men were required to take one thousand pounds of gear into Canada, which meant hiking back and forth in stages, literally covering thousands of miles on what normally would have been a seven-hundred plus mile journey.Thousands of horses and dogs were employed, and thousands were maltreated and killed due to men’s greedHundreds of women joined the rush, most of whom ended up in less than savory occupations.Many of the First Nations people worked as packers and guides for the newcomers, earning more money than most miners ever found.
