  Laugh with political humorist Gerald Gardner, as he takes an entertaining and probing look at how six American Presidents over three decades— John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and Ronald Reagan— deliberately and effectively employed humor to achieve their political goals. In a special live recording of his best-selling book, Gardner sounds remarkably like JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan, as he demonstrates how our Chief Executives have made strategic use of humor to win people over, to avoid sensitive issues, to defuse tense situations, and to deflect criticism. From the elegant wit of Kennedy to the genial joking of Reagan, you'll hear an insider's insights about the increasingly influential role humor plays in the political arena.

  The only domestic bible you'll need. 
    
  There is nothing more satisfying than a beautifully organised home! say the #homeinspo influencers. 
  In an era of decluttering gurus, cleaning bloggers and aspirational pantries, Kerri Sackville has studied the evidence and declared, 'Nah, way too much trouble.' 
  Instead, she has embraced domestic imperfection and discovered the life-changing magic of letting your standards slip. 
  In this, her magnum opus, Kerri explains why cleanliness is not next to godliness, why decluttering is the enemy of joy and why no-one cares about your messy bedroom. 
  With affirmations for the mess-challenged (#DisarrayIsOkay!), cleaning hacks that actually work (*Don't Have Children), and recipes for people who hate washing up (Step One: download a meal delivery app), this book will inspire you to tear off those rubber gloves, put down the sponge and take a nap. 
  Whether you have surrendered in your war on dust or are still bravely fighting for ordered folds in fitted sheets, The Life-changing Magic of a Little Bit of Mess is a welcome dose of #inspo that transports you to the joyous world of imperfection. Because no one has ever looked back on their life and wished they'd spent more time scrubbing the floors.

  It's Afghanistan before the Soviet invasion, and Veronica Doubleday and her husband settle in Herat, where John is planning to study the local musical tradition. Veronica makes friends with three very different young women, slowly immersing herself in the unfamiliar world of Herati female culture. Although constrained by tradition, these women are far from submissive, each skilfully exerting influence in the management of their lives. They welcome Veronica into their homes and include her in family events and celebrations. It's a world of intense friendships, music-making, support and laughter, as well as illness, hardship and sadness. Veronica inhabits their world without judgement, even wearing a veil herself, and gives us rare, deep and privileged access to a hidden realm.

  I'm sitting on the bus to León and the lady next to me is taking one candy after another to suck on while she's talking on the phone at the same time. If there was even the slightest chance that she could understand me, I would scream out loud: FOR GOD'S SAKE, STOP THAT! Instead, I cover my ears and wait for the trip to be over. Of course, such hyperacusis can affect not only people with autism. However, it once again makes me aware of the challenges that neurodivergent people face when traveling. A day later, still in Spain, I grab my phone and start dictating this book to the voice recognition app. A book about how to cope on the Camino de Santiago as an autistic person.
