  To escape this dark world, I must resist the temptations of the labyrinth. 
  They brought a “cursed” board game to the Halloween party. I didn’t believe it. I laughed and made jokes while we played. 
  I made it angry. 
  Now I’m trapped in an underground labyrinth. Stalked by the minotaur, I flee for my life. It wants to capture me. It wants to keep me as its pet—its servant. 
  And the labyrinth…it’s trying to seduce me. Strange smells…strange statues… 
  My body is morphing. My mind is crumbling. I’ll never be able to leave this sick, beautiful dungeon.

Through meticulous research and compelling narrative, Milner captures the harsh realities of jungle warfare, the strategic significance of the region, and the extraordinary efforts of the soldiers who fought there. This volume stands as a testament to the complexities of military strategy, the harshness of the battle conditions, and the strategic importance of Papua New Guinea in the broader context of World War II.

  Chemically Imbalanced - Everyday...

  Joseph E. Davis

  Everyday suffering—those conditions or feelings brought on by trying circumstances that arise in everyone’s lives—is something that humans have grappled with for millennia. But the last decades have seen a drastic change in the way we approach it. In the past, a person going through a time of difficulty might keep a journal or see a therapist, but now the psychological has been replaced by the biological: instead of treating the heart, soul, and mind, we take a pill to treat the brain. 
   
  Chemically Imbalanced is a field report on how ordinary people dealing with common problems explain their suffering, how they’re increasingly turning to the thin and mechanistic language of the “body/brain,” and what these encounters might tell us. Drawing on interviews with people dealing with struggles such as underperformance in school or work, grief after the end of a relationship, or disappointment with how their life is unfolding, Joseph E. Davis reveals the profound revolution in consciousness that is underway. We now see suffering as an imbalance in the brain that needs to be fixed, usually through chemical means. This has rippled into our social and cultural conversations, and it has affected how we, as a society, imagine ourselves and envision what constitutes a good life. Davis warns that what we envision as a neurological revolution, in which suffering is a mechanistic problem, has troubling and entrapping consequences. And he makes the case that by turning away from an interpretive, meaning-making view of ourselves, we thwart our chances to enrich our souls and learn important truths about ourselves and the social conditions under which we live.

  An Original Audiobook Production by W. F. Howes, written and presented by Caryn Franklin and Professor Keon West, with special guests. 
   
  •	How do news outlets choose which crimes to report on – and does it matter? 
  •	What do Disney films teach us about who is good and who is dangerous? 
  •	Can adverts really change how we think and behave?  
   
  Underpinning these questions looms the spectre of bias; the hidden force that frames our thinking and skews the facts. This provocative audio original will have you rethinking everything from pornography and pop music to children’s books and fashion. 
  Tackling the complex subject of bias head on, Skewed investigates the hidden messages we absorb from birth. Looking closely at what the research can tell us, Caryn Franklin and Professor Keon West explain how our inner worlds are shaped by false information, media trends, and the brain’s preference for patterns and stereotypes. Exploring biases around gender, sexuality, race, age and appearance, Caryn and Keon explain how bias impacts all of our lives. 
  Through conversations with a diverse range of voices - from cognitive psychologists to activists and entertainers – Caryn and Keon offer a vision for an alternative future; a world in which we recognise and manage bias, and one in which diversity and difference can truly flourish. 
  Guest interviews include campaigner and life coach Michelle Elman, author academic and drag artist Cheddar Gorgeous, creative director and campaigner Trevor Robinson, forensic psychologist Dr Dominic Willmott and many more.
