  How were human rights invented, and how does their tumultuous history influence their perception and our ability to protect them today? From Professor Lynn Hunt comes this extraordinary cultural and intellectual history, which traces the roots of human rights to the rejection of torture as a means for finding the truth. She demonstrates how ideas of human relationships portrayed in novels and art helped spread these new ideals and how human rights continue to be contested today.

  In a chilling tale of soft power, corruption, and covert influence, Canada Under Siege pulls back the curtain on how the Chinese Communist Party quietly turned Prince Edward Island into a strategic forward operating base—right under the noses of Islanders and Ottawa alike.
  		 
  Drawing from a nearly two-year investigation by veteran intelligence officer and Chief of Asia Pacific (CSIS) Michel Juneau-Katsuya, former RCMP financial crime chief Garry Clement, and publisher Dean Baxendale, this groundbreaking exposé follows the money, the land grabs, the political manipulation, and the elites, captured or compromised.
  		This is not fiction. With whistleblower testimony, court documents, and explosive first-hand accounts stretching from Charlottetown to Taiwan, this book connects the dots between organized crime, espionage, elite capture, and Beijing’s United Front Work Department.
  		 
  What emerges is a damning picture of how one of the world’s most authoritarian regimes used immigration loopholes, Buddhist temples, and Anne of Green Gables to anchor its influence in Canada’s Prince Edward Island, the birthplace of Canadian Confederation. With China’s increased belligerence towards taking Taiwan by force, the authors show readers how the infiltration of Buddhist groups is playing a key role in the soft power dynamic in Taiwan and around the world, particularly as it relates to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Tibetan Buddhism.
  		 
  Canada Under Siege is more than an exposé, it’s a warning. The threat is no longer at the gates. It’s already here. The time to act is now.

  Sovereign currencies are crashing. Iran via the Strait of Hormuz is being choked. 
  These are not separate events. 
  They are one operation, well planned, years in the making, being executed in real time. 
  The book documents the history behind it and how to position for the wealth event that follows. 
  HEAD OF THE SNAKE 
  The biggest financial restructuring in modern history is happening in plain sight. The legacy media paid to explain it is looking the other way. 
  A president puts his signature on American currency for the first time in 165 years. A country with $16 trillion in natural resources accelerates its banking modernisation by six months. Central banks buy more gold in three years than in the previous decade. Western banks pay $17.7 billion in fines for processing money they knew was sanctioned. 
  Each story gets reported in isolation. None of them get connected. This book connects them. 
  118 years of documented financial architecture. The invasion and economic restructuring of Iraq under fabricated intelligence. The $17.7 billion paper trail through Western banks. The shadow banking pipeline that ran $300 million per day through Iraq for two decades. The new settlement infrastructure being built on gold, regulated digital rails, and commodity-backed currencies. 
  Every claim sourced from Department of Justice filings, executive orders, Congressional Budget Office reports, central bank statements, and verified government transcripts. 
  Six chapters. 19,500 words. Every claim sourced.

  In The Open Conspiracy, H.G. Wells presents a visionary manifesto for reshaping human civilization. Written in the aftermath of World War I and on the brink of global upheaval, Wells calls for a transformative movement rooted in science, reason, and a renewed sense of global purpose. 
  This provocative work lays out his plan for a peaceful yet radical reorganization of society—one that rejects outdated nationalism, dogmatic religion, and social division in favor of a cooperative, rationally guided "world commonweal." Blending philosophical reflection, political critique, and strategic proposal, The Open Conspiracy stands as both a call to arms and a blueprint for action. 
  Narrated with clarity and conviction by Luke Oldham, this audiobook invites modern listeners to revisit Wells’s bold dream of unity, equity, and enlightened human progress—still strikingly relevant in today's divided world.

  We Uyghurs Have No Say - An...

  The words of China's most famous political prisoner 
   
   
   
  In Xinjiang, the large northwest region of China, the government has imprisoned more than a million Uyghurs in reeducation camps. One of the incarcerated—whose sentence, unlike most others, has no end date—is Ilham Tohti, an intellectual and economist, a prolific writer, and formerly the host of a website, Uyghur Online. In 2014, Tohti was arrested; accused of advocating separatism, violence, and the overthrow of the Chinese government; subjected to a two-day trial; and sentenced to life. Nothing has been heard from him since. 
   
   
   
  Here are Tohti's own words, a collection of his plain-spoken calls for justice, scholarly explanations of the history of Xinjiang, and poignant personal reflections. While his courage and outspokenness about the plight of China's Muslim minorities is extraordinary, these essays sound a measured insistence on peace and just treatment for the Uyghurs. 
   
   
   
  Winner of the PEN/Goldsmith Freedom to Write Award and the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought while imprisoned, this book is the only way to hear from a man who has been called "a Uyghur Mandela."

  The Ancient Art of Thinking For...

  The discipline of rhetoric was the keystone of Western education for over two thousand years. Only recently has its perceived importance faded. 
   
    
   
  In this book, renowned rhetorical scholar Robin Reames argues that, in today's polarized political climate, we should all care deeply about learning rhetoric. Drawing on examples ranging from the destructive ancient Greek demagogue Alcibiades to modern-day conspiracists like Alex Jones, Reames breaks down the major techniques of rhetoric, pulling back the curtain on how politicians, journalists, and "journalists" convince us to believe what we believe—and to talk, vote, and act accordingly. Understanding these techniques helps us avoid being manipulated by authority figures who don't have our best interests at heart. It also grants us rare insight into the values that shape our own beliefs. Learning rhetoric, Reames argues, doesn't teach us what to think but how to think—allowing us to understand our own and others' ideological commitments in a completely new way. 
   
   
   
  Thoughtful, nuanced, and leavened with dry humor, The Ancient Art of Thinking for Yourself offers an antidote to our polarized, post-truth world.
