  Journalist and Editor Michael Clayton worked his way up from local newspapers to BBC war correspondent, with radio and magazine experience inbetween.   
  From the sharp end of the action in Vietnam, to the violence of the Troubles in Belfast and the tragedy of the East Pakistan revolt, Clayton    is well placed to compare the varying challenges of journalism on different media platforms.   
  The rivalry between the BBC and ITV, the bravery of war cameramen, dealing on assignment with corrupt officials, the TV preference for close-to-the action film as opposed to insightful reports of the effects of conflict: Clayton has experienced it all over a 70-year career.
  His insights into the ethos of the BBC, the colourful characters he reported and filmed alongside, and his resulting views of humanity, war and crime – Clayton's autobiography in journalism is honest, wry and full of insight.

  Elections - A Very Short...

  Elections occur in all democracies and many nondemocratic regimes as well. They determine who will hold public office and who will have the power to govern. They connect citizens to those whom they choose to make decisions on their behalf and who regulate their behavior. This book looks comparatively at the key aspects of elections. In addition to describing types of electoral systems, it discusses the implications of the various systems for the administration of elections, voter participation, representation, government stability, and other factors. Where appropriate, it examines efforts to reform a nation's (or a sub-national entity's) system, exploring the impetus for reform and the effects of those reforms when implemented. 
   
   
   
  L. Sandy Maisel and Jennifer A. Yoder lay out the variety of electoral systems in the broadest terms—single-member district plurality systems; proportional systems; and mixed systems. They discuss voting and the various electoral institutions used to implement the ways in which voting occurs and how votes are tabulated across electoral systems. They analyze the consequences of each system, first for the functioning of the democracy, and second for the electoral strategies politicians employ, closing with a discussion of reforms under consideration in a number of countries.

  Cleopatra - Last Pharaoh of Egypt

  Cleopatra VII was born into the powerful Ptolemaic dynasty, a Greek ruling family that had governed Egypt since the time of Alexander the Great. As the daughter of Ptolemy XII, she was raised in a world of immense political intrigue and royal rivalries. Unlike many of her predecessors, Cleopatra was highly educated, mastering several languages, including Egyptian—an unusual skill among the Greek rulers of Egypt. Her intelligence, charm, and deep understanding of politics set her apart as a leader destined for greatness. 
  From a young age, Cleopatra was immersed in the complexities of governance. She studied philosophy, mathematics, and diplomacy, acquiring knowledge that would later aid her in navigating the dangerous world of ancient power struggles. While her early years were marked by luxury, they were also shadowed by uncertainty. Egypt, under her father’s rule, was heavily dependent on Rome, and political instability threatened the Ptolemaic dynasty. Cleopatra observed these tensions closely, preparing herself for the inevitable challenge of ruling a divided kingdom. 
  When Ptolemy XII died in 51 BCE, Cleopatra, at just eighteen years old, ascended to the throne alongside her younger brother, Ptolemy XIII. According to Egyptian tradition, royal siblings often married to secure dynastic rule, and Cleopatra was expected to govern jointly with her brother-husband. However, she had little interest in sharing power. She quickly demonstrated her political ambition, seeking to rule Egypt independently. Her intelligence and strategic mindset made her a formidable leader, but her brother’s advisors viewed her as a threat.

  Yoga for Creative Minds -...

  Yoga and creativity are inherently intertwined, both relying on the flow of energy within the body and mind. Creativity, in its purest form, is the ability to generate new ideas, to solve problems in innovative ways, and to express oneself authentically. Yet, many people struggle with accessing this creative potential, often encountering mental blocks or feelings of uncertainty. Yoga offers a path to unlock this potential, creating the ideal environment for the mind and body to collaborate in creative expression. 
  At its core, yoga is about cultivating mindfulness and presence. When we practice yoga, we learn to become deeply aware of our breath, our body, and our mind. This heightened awareness allows us to clear the clutter from our thoughts, creating space for creativity to flourish. Yoga encourages us to be present in the moment, removing distractions that may otherwise stifle creative thinking. As we move through the poses, we tap into a state of flow, where the body and mind work in perfect harmony. This state of flow is closely linked to the creative process, as it fosters a sense of ease, focus, and openness to new ideas. 
  The connection between yoga and creativity is also rooted in the principle of balance. In yoga, we seek to find equilibrium within ourselves, whether through balancing poses or through the integration of breath and movement. Similarly, creativity thrives when we find balance between structure and freedom, discipline and spontaneity. Just as a yoga practice requires both strength and flexibility, creative work demands both the ability to stay grounded and the freedom to explore new possibilities. The balance cultivated on the mat can be translated into the creative process, allowing individuals to stay focused while remaining open to new insights and ideas.
