  Control tactics are strategies used by individuals, groups, or institutions to influence, manipulate, or dominate others. These methods can range from subtle psychological techniques to overt coercion, all designed to limit personal autonomy and shape behavior. Control can be exercised in personal relationships, workplaces, social groups, and even on a larger societal scale. Understanding how control tactics function is the first step in recognizing and resisting them. 
  At their core, control tactics exploit psychological and emotional vulnerabilities. Some individuals use them for personal gain, while others employ them to maintain power or enforce conformity. Whether intentional or not, these strategies often create imbalances in relationships, where one party holds undue influence over another. This can be seen in toxic relationships, authoritarian leadership, cult-like environments, and even marketing and political campaigns. 
  One of the most common control tactics is emotional manipulation. This includes guilt-tripping, gaslighting, and playing on insecurities to create dependency. By distorting reality or fostering self-doubt, manipulators can make individuals question their own perceptions, leading them to rely more heavily on the controlling figure. Over time, this erodes confidence and makes it harder for the individual to challenge the control being exerted.

  SHORTLISTED FOR THE NED KELLEY AWARD FOR BEST TRUE CRIME 
   
  How the New South Wales Police Force's finest solved murders in one of the most tumultuous periods in Australian history.  
   
  As Australia sank into the darkest days of the Great Depression, a succession of bloody mysteries grabbed headlines and gripped the country. The Hammer Horror, The Bungendore Bones, The Park Demon, The Human Glove and The Pyjama Girl – these were just some of the grisly cases that had to be solved by the Sydney detectives of The Murder Squad.  
   
  With the people, press and politicians screaming for justice and vengeance, homicide chief Tom McRae and his colleagues used bold new investigative tools in the massive manhunts for these maniacal killers. Working under intense pressure, hard-nosed and hard-charging cops solved some cases brilliantly – yet others were 'closed' with dodgy convictions while several shadowy figures were to get away with murder.  
   
  Set against the backdrop of our greatest economic crisis, as the federal and state governments headed for a showdown and fascist and communist thugs threatened civil war, The Murder Squad reopens the files on Australia's most chilling forgotten crimes to ask who was guilty, who was innocent, and whether some cops were as dangerous as the monsters they were hunting.

  During a bus ride with a group of fellow college students, Jenny Booth Potter came to a life-changing realization. She decided that racism in all its forms—in policies and systems, in organizations and churches, in neighborhoods and families—could no longer be tolerated. And even though Jenny didn't know what to do about racism, she was certain of one thing: doing nothing is no longer an option. That declaration Jenny made to her peers was more than seven words uttered on a bus. It was a vow, a lifetime commitment to seek racial justice. 
   
   
   
  With candor and humility, Jenny shares her very imperfect but relentless journey of growing in awareness of racism, of reckoning with her own white privilege, and of learning how to be an antiracism advocate alongside her young family. If you're anything like Jenny was on that bus—overwhelmed by the enormity of racism and compelled to do something, but uncertain if you can actually make any difference—then this book is for you. Join Jenny and see for yourself what everyday antiracism looks like.

  The Aitareya Upanishad 101 - an...

  Do you believe in evolution, but do not see this belief as necessarily negating the existence of an advanced Intelligence?  
  If so, you may find comfort, inspiration, and perhaps even proof for your beliefs within this ancient Hindu work.  
  The Aitareya Upanishad, which dates back to somewhere around 600-500 BCE, takes us through a journey … the journey of creation. It then leads us through the evolutionary changes that have brought us into this day and age and beyond, into the stage of existence that the ancient Hindus believed would come next. We were all created, the Hindus tell us, for a reason, and we are all evolving towards a particular state of beingness.  
  How can the Hindus be so sure that evolution is fact, and how can they be so sure that there is some sort of Intelligence behind it all? The Hindu religion is the oldest on earth. Their ancestors claim to have actually witnessed a small portion of evolution in action, and through their experiences, also claim to have discovered the underlying intent of life (both in the general and the individual sense). This work goes into these experiences and the insights the Hindus claim to have gained from them. 
  Also included in this narrative is an early Hindu concept of time and space that is extremely difficult to wrapt the human mind around. These concepts, however, coincide very closely with the findings of modern physics. 
  This work is my interpretation of the Aitareya Upanishad. I have endeavored to simplify its teachings, expand where needed, and include modern concepts, discoveries, and quotes to make the central concepts found within it more digestible to modern seekers, especially beginners.
