  This Is Not A Leadership Book -...

  Part leadership book, part business book, and 100% true, this is like hearing a wise, honest, and humorous mentor finally tell you about the world of business as it is and how to find your place in it. 
   
   
   
  Many leadership books are either shallow (focusing on only one element of leadership), narrow (examining leadership out of context), or biased (selling an idealized model). This book seeks simplicity without being simplistic and focuses on the listener in their context rather than describing other people's leadership in theirs. It sets out twenty rules for success that draw on Emmanuel Gobillot's twenty years of experience advising high-performing leaders. Each rule is presented in an engaging, instantly recognizable true story that helps current and aspiring leaders to look differently at their own situation. 
   
   
   
  Best described as a leadership development program, this book takes you on a fast-paced, three-step journey from what it takes to be a leader, to why you can be one, via how to succeed.

  Anglophobia - The Unrecognised...

  “The white race is the biggest murderer, rapist, pillager, and thief of the modern world.” So said journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones. 
  Had she said this about any other race, it is unlikely that she would ever have found employment with a mainstream media outlet. Yet not only was Nikole Hannah-Jones hired by The New York Times; she received the coveted Pulitzer Prize for journalism for the 1619 project which also defames white people. 
  Why is it that such hateful rhetoric is no barrier to employment at The New York Times, whilst criticism of any other racial group would have you fired in a New York minute? Why is Critical Race Theory and its defamation of white people and their societies seeping into every corner of education, the media, and the corporate world? 
  These and other questions need answers because Western civilisation in Australia and elsewhere is facing an existential threat. Anglophobia The Unrecognised Hatred analyses and articulates the root causes of this pervasive anti-white hatred. 
  The book is a systematic rejection of the hypocritical notion that racism is acceptable – so long as it is only directed at white men, women and children.

  Late in 1944, thirteen U.S. B-24 bomber crews bailed from their cabins over the Yugoslavian wilderness. Bloodied and disoriented after a harrowing strike against the Third Reich, the pilots took refuge with the Partisan underground. But the Americans were far from safe. Holed up in a village barely able to feed its citizens, encircled by Nazis, and left abandoned after a team of British secret agents failed to secure their escape, the airmen were left with little choice. It was either flee or be killed.

  In Speak of It, Marcos McPeek Villatoro explores how he channeled his Latino roots to come to terms with the childhood sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of a relative in his home in Appalachia, and he recounts his ensuing struggle with trauma and mental illness. 
   
   
   
  The son of a Salvadoran mother and Scotch Irish mechanic father, Marcos spent much of his life trying to break away from his Southern Appalachian past and the trauma experienced there and striving to get closer to his Salvadoran heritage. His journey includes steeping himself in the Spanish language and Latin American literature, especially the work of Gabriel García Marquez; a stint in Nicaragua with Witness for Peace, followed by missionary work in Guatemala; and social-justice work with Mexican migrant farmworkers in Alabama. Each experience brought him closer to understanding where he came from and to forging an identity as a whole self in the wake of trauma. 
   
   
   
  Riveting, horrifying, moving, and inspiring, Speak of It is a testament to the healing power of language, books, and identity.

  Body Language - Decoding...

  Body language is an essential aspect of communication that often speaks louder than words. It encompasses a range of non-verbal signals that convey emotions, attitudes, and intentions, all without uttering a single word. From facial expressions and gestures to posture and eye contact, body language is a powerful tool in human interaction, influencing how we connect with others and how we are perceived in return. While verbal communication is often emphasized, non-verbal cues are just as important—sometimes even more so—when it comes to understanding the full message being communicated. 
    
  In fact, research suggests that a large percentage of our communication is conveyed through body language, with estimates ranging from 60% to 93%, depending on the context. The way we move, stand, and make eye contact can reveal a wealth of information about our true feelings, intentions, and state of mind. Whether we're aware of it or not, our body language is constantly transmitting messages to others, which is why it's crucial to understand the subtle cues we are sending out.

  Civic Gifts - Voluntarism and...

  In Civic Gifts, Elisabeth S. Clemens takes a singular approach to probing the puzzle that is the United States. How, she asks, did a powerful state develop within an anti-statist political culture? How did a sense of shared nationhood develop despite the linguistic, religious, and ethnic differences among settlers and, eventually, citizens? Clemens reveals that an important piece of the answer to these questions can be found in the unexpected political uses of benevolence and philanthropy, practices of gift-giving and reciprocity that coexisted uneasily with the self-sufficient independence expected of liberal citizens Civic Gifts focuses on the power of gifts not only to mobilize communities throughout US history, but also to create new forms of solidarity among strangers. Clemens makes clear how, from the early Republic through the Second World War, reciprocity was an important tool for eliciting both the commitments and the capacities needed to face natural disasters, economic crises, and unprecedented national challenges. Encompassing a range of endeavors from the mobilized voluntarism of the Civil War, through Community Chests and the Red Cross to the FDR-driven rise of the March of Dimes, Clemens shows how voluntary efforts were repeatedly articulated with government projects.  The legacy of these efforts is a state co-constituted with, as much as constrained by, civil society.
