Synopsis

Based on Philip Cowley's entertaining columns in The House magazine, this collection of political oddities and fascinating research, discussing the politics of fights, cockroaches, riots, potholes, beards and much more, is perfect for reading in multiple sittings. Discover the electoral relevance of chip shops and football grounds, what your lawn tells you about your voting, why politicians need to pay extra care in Scunthorpe, what MPs think of voters, why they all claim to be local and why they are all now so inexperienced.
Equal parts witty and thought-provoking, and with additional grumpy complaints about bats, overly long constituency names and giving the vote to sixteen-year-olds, it's a book that will appeal to the sort of person who likes to tell you that, actually, it's all a bit more complicated than that…

    It's time for America to get back in the international leadership game. 
     
     
     
    What should our global strategy look like in an age of renewed great power competition? And what must America offer to a newly empowered developing world when we're no longer the only major player? 
     
     
     
    In The American Imperative, international development expert Daniel Runde makes the case for building a new global consensus through vigorous internationalism and the judicious use of soft power. Runde maps out many of the steps that we need to take—primarily in the non-military sphere—to ensure an alliance of stable and secure, like-minded, self-reliant partner nations in order to prevent rising authoritarian powers such as China from running the world.

    People frequently come to therapy believing they are broken.  They have been told this by countless people.  Over the past 33 years, I have worked with thousands of people and the majority of them don't have something wrong with them.  They are just missing skills.  This book is made up of education about the skills, examples and plans to learn the skills complete with exercises.  Why are these skills so important? When a person lacks skills, they are set up to experience difficult situations throughout their lives.  I have dedicated a chapter to gaslighting because this abusive behaviour robs people of some of the most essential skills, sets them up for emotional abuse, intimate partner violence, rape, sexual violence, physical abuse later in life.  These skills make it possible for us to integrate well with others, keep a solid sense of self, self-worth and have relationships that bring all parties joy.

    'Captivating, mind-boggling and deeply disturbing' – Maureen Freely 
    'Humane, thoughtful and urgent — this book will make you think, make you laugh, make you cry, but also make you burn with rage' – Dr Mary Wellesley 
    A thought-provoking deep dive into the global fertility industry and the commodification of the maternal body 
    Should surrogacy be a paid service, an altruistic act – or even legal at all? 
    Is it right that you can pay more for ‘VIP’ egg donors – and to view their photos? 
    How much, if anything, should breastmilk cost – and who should be allowed to buy it? 
    The global fertility industry is rapidly growing, hugely profitable and morally complex. This an industry where one person’s biological bad luck can be another person’s financial gain. From egg freezing to black-market breastmilk, the maternal body has never been more commodified, yet the ethical, emotional and economic implications are rarely considered. 
    Through a combination of undercover reporting and detailed first-hand accounts – including a surrogate of 12 children, an international embryo courier and a man who buys breastmilk for his IBS – Alev Scott exposes how the IVF, surrogacy and milk industries operate around the world and who is profiting. In doing so, she considers the blurred line between exploitation and empowerment. Who should make money from the maternal body: only the women themselves, anyone or no one? 
    Timely, thought-provoking and compelling, Cash Cow is an unmissable investigation into how desire, desperation and commerce intersect, and the impact the fertility industry has on individuals.
