"Chinese Zodiac" explores the fascinating world of the Chinese lunar calendar, revealing its historical roots and enduring cultural impact. The book examines how this ancient system, with its twelve zodiac animals, continues to shape traditions, beliefs, and even major life decisions like marriage and career choices.

 
Discover the historical development of the lunar calendar, tracing its evolution from ancient astronomical observations to its formalization across dynasties. Each zodiac animal's symbolic meaning and associated traits are illuminated, revealing the legends behind their significance.

Ultimately, the book argues that the Chinese Zodiac is more than just a calendar system; it's a dynamic framework that influences how individuals understand themselves and their place in the cosmos.

    Denial - How We Hide Ignore and...

    Donald Trump won the election; climate change isn't real; America is a color-blind country. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, why do so many of us refuse to admit the truth? Denial is so much a part of our lives that we deny its existence all the time. 
     
     
     
    In an easy-listening style that draws on examples from current events, politics, and pop culture, Del Rosso teases out the complexities of denial, from "not noticing" that someone has food stuck in their teeth, to companies that engage in widespread fraud, like Enron and Wells Fargo, to the much larger-scale denials of climate change or systemic racism. Del Rosso builds a fascinating typology of the forms and meanings of denial, exploring the behavior of those who refuse to acknowledge their actions, and what it means to live in a society where such lying, fraud, and corruption is commonplace. 
     
     
     
    In wide-ranging examples, Del Rosso explores the causes, strategies, and consequences of denial. When scandal hits and accusations of misconduct are made, he argues that individuals like Harvey Weinstein or Brett Kavanaugh, or organizations like the Catholic Church or Penn State, go through a series of moves to try to avoid accountability. He effectively argues that recognizing what denial looks like is the crucial first step in mitigating its effects on us and society as a whole.

    In Government Gangsters, listeners are taken behind the scenes of government structures to uncover the hidden forces and entrenched corruption that drive policy and power. The author paints a vivid picture of individuals and alliances that work not in the public’s interest, but in service of personal gain, self-preservation, and power. Through real-world examples, captivating stories, and powerful insights, the author reveals how these "government gangsters" operate within complex layers of bureaucracy, insulated by legal loopholes and media manipulation.

Each chapter explores themes of integrity, ethical leadership, and perseverance, making it as much a call to self-reflection as it is a revelation of government realities.

    This Isn't Love

    After a life in care, with both good and bad experiences of the system, Hope knows all too well what the risks are for children in care as they approach adolescence. Lacking any sense of self-worth or belonging, children in care are often dismissed by the authorities as impossible to manage and, worse, perceived as children who have invited sexual abuse by placing themselves in 'dangerous' situations. They quickly become invisible to the authorities - too old to be perceived as 'children' by the system and yet, far too young to be safe in an adult world. Hope was brought up in care from the age of nine. Until now, she has never spoken about what happened to her once she left the security of her Highgate children's home at the age of 13 and moved into a 'secure unit'. It may have been secure but it was never 'safe'. In this new book, she lifts the lid on this untold chapter of her story and the devastating effects she experienced when she reconnected with her past. This isn't Love is a book that not only casts blame on the men and women who abuse children in care, but also on those who avert their gazes in the belief that these children are 'asking for it'. Hope's story ends on a hopeful note, championing victims of abuse and encouraging others to tell their story.
