  You’re probably in a cult. You just don’t know it yet. 
  In The Culting of America, cult survivor, military veteran, and bestselling author of Uncultured Daniella Mestyanek Young delivers a gripping investigation into the invisible systems of control shaping our lives. Raised in the notorious sex cult the Children of God, she escaped to America as a teenager—only to find herself inside another rigid institution: the U.S. Army. Years later, as a Harvard-trained expert in organizational psychology, she began asking a dangerous question: 
  What if we’re all in cults—and America is built to keep us there? 
  Blending personal narrative, cultural critique, and deep research, Young—together with award-winning author Amy Reed—introduces the cultiness spectrum: a ten-part framework that reveals how coercive group dynamics show up in spaces we trust, from religious groups and wellness brands to corporate offices, fandoms, political movements, and beyond. 
  You’ll never look at group loyalty the same way again. From the glamorized world of Playboy to the mission-driven violence of the military, from influencer culture to partisan politics, The Culting of America reveals how cultish behavior isn’t just thriving in modern life—it’s hiding in plain sight, woven deep into the fabric of American identity. 
  With sharp insight, dark humor, and unflinching honesty, The Culting of America is both a wake-up call and a survival guide. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt uneasy in a group they believed in, who’s begun to question the cost of belonging, or who’s ready to take back their autonomy—without losing their place in the world. 
  Whether you’re part of a church, company, fandom, or political movement, the question isn’t if you’re in a cult. It’s how much of yourself you’ve already lost.

  Jean-Jacques Rousseau

  Confessions by Jean-Jacques Rousseau is one of the most influential autobiographies ever written and a landmark work in the history of literature. Written in the eighteenth century, this deeply personal narrative offers an extraordinary exploration of a man's inner life, revealing his thoughts, emotions, triumphs, and failings with a level of honesty that was revolutionary for its time.
  
  In this remarkable work, Rousseau sets out to present a complete and truthful portrait of himself, declaring his intention to reveal his character exactly as it was—both admirable and flawed. Beginning with his childhood in Geneva, he recounts the experiences that shaped his personality, from moments of innocence and curiosity to episodes of rebellion, ambition, love, and regret. Through vivid storytelling and emotional reflection, he traces his journey through youth, education, friendships, romances, and intellectual development.
  
  As the narrative unfolds, readers witness Rousseau's transformation from a sensitive and restless young man into one of the most influential thinkers of the Enlightenment. He describes his travels across Europe, his encounters with notable figures of his time, and the struggles he faced in gaining recognition for his ideas. Along the way, he reflects on themes such as human nature, personal freedom, morality, social judgment, and the search for authenticity.
  
  What makes Confessions truly unique is its fearless self-examination. Rousseau does not shy away from revealing his weaknesses, mistakes, and controversial actions. Instead, he presents them openly, inviting readers to judge him honestly. This candid approach created a new literary form that emphasized individual experience and emotional truth, inspiring generations of writers and shaping the modern concept of autobiography.
  
  Beyond the story of a single life, the book also offers a fascinating window into the intellectual and cultural world of eighteenth-century Europe. Rousseau's reflections illuminate the social conventions, philosophical debates, and political tensions of his era, making the narrative both personal and historically significant.
  
  At its heart, Confessions is a powerful exploration of identity and self-understanding. Rousseau's passionate voice and unfiltered introspection invite readers to consider the complexities of the human soul and the courage required to confront one's own truth.
  
  Bold, intimate, and profoundly influential, Confessions remains a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers with its honesty, emotional depth, and enduring quest to understand the human self.

  Planting the World: Joseph Banks...

  ‘Based on meticulous research in original sources … Goodman illustrates vividly how adept [Banks] was … Shining a light on individuals whose achievements are relatively uncelebrated’ 
  Jenny Uglow, New York Review of Books 
  A bold new history of how botany and global plant collecting – centred at Kew Gardens and driven by Joseph Banks – transformed the earth. 
  Botany was the darling and the powerhouse of the eighteenth century. As European ships ventured across the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans, discovery bloomed. Bounties of new plants were brought back, and their arrival meant much more than improved flowerbeds – it offered a new scientific frontier that would transform Europe’s industry, medicine, eating and drinking habits, and even fashion. 
  Joseph Banks was the dynamo for this momentous change. As botanist for James Cook’s great voyage to the South Pacific on the Endeavour, Banks collected plants on a vast scale, armed with the vision – as a child of the Enlightenment – that to travel physically was to advance intellectually. His thinking was as intrepid as Cook’s seafaring: he commissioned radically influential and physically daring expeditions such as those of Francis Masson to the Cape Colony, George Staunton to China, George Caley to Australia, William Bligh to Tahiti and Jamaica, among many others. 
  Jordan Goodman’s epic history follows these high seas adventurers and their influence in Europe, as well as taking us back to the early years of Kew Gardens, which Banks developed devotedly across the course of his life, transforming it into one of the world’s largest and most diverse botanical gardens. 
  In a rip-roaring global expedition, based on original sources in many languages, Goodman gives a momentous history of how the discoveries made by Banks and his collectors advanced scientific understanding around the world. 
  This biography of Joseph Banks, one of Britain's top environmentalists and naturalists, is a testament to his scientific prowess and his unparalleled contributions to botany. His expeditions, driven by a thirst for knowledge and discovery, have left an indelible mark on the world, influencing not just the field of science, but also technology, medicine, and even fashion. 
  For fans of Tristan Gooley (How To Read Water), Lucille Clerc (Around the World in 80 Plants), Peter Frankopan (The First Crusade), Colm Tóibín (The Master), and Sathnam Sanghera (Tonight the Music Seems So Loud).
