  From rap artists wearing their symbol to multi-million dollar movies, the enigmatic and elusive secret society we know as the illuminti has held us captive in more ways than one. 
   
  We are told they originated in the 18th century, but the truth is much older than that. Who are they? What secrets do they hold? When and where did they originate? 
   
  They run governments, companies and religions. They have done so for a very long time. Their names have changed, their faces altered but their secrets remain the same. 
   
  We see glimpses of their power. We see the outcomes of their plots and schemes. We see revolutions and war. We succumb to their propaganda and manipulation again and again. Most have no idea that they are under the spell. 
   
  In the 18th century they emerged briefly into the spotlight to bring about world-wide cataclysmic change and they called themselves the Illuminati. 
   
  Quickly they spread and embedded themselves and their ideals within other secret societies. The French had a bloody revolution. America turned the tide against a royal regime. Russia, Spain and more, all fell to the zeal of a new world order. 
   
  In this book we will delve deep into the what these people believe in and enter their secret initiations and rituals. We will explain what those rituals mean and their origins. 
   
  We will see the spread of their influence with the assassins, Druze, Yezidis, Allumbrados, Ismailis, Templars, Triad and more. We will see how they created and fostered revolutions from France and America to China and Russia. And we will uncover their very ancient origins and how they were there at the very beginning of the major religions of the globe. 
   
  This is the story of the world's most powerful secret society - the illuminati.

  Tezcatlipoca: The History and...

  Editors Charles River

  Worshipped by many cultures, one of the main deities of the great Aztec Empire, the “Lord of the Smoking Mirror,” is also one of the most interesting and elusive Mesoamerican deities. Known as the master of the destinies of the world, giver and despoiler, patron of kings and slaves, sower of discords and revealer of sins, Lord of night and darkness, first Sun of the creation, he is as fascinating as he is complex. Tezcatlipoca was as feared as he was revered, for the god was all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful, yet also fickle, capricious, and with a wicked sense of humor to boot. 
  	The study of Tezcatlipoca must necessarily be framed in the Mesoamerican historical-cultural context, which is an undertaking entailing a fair amount of difficulties. Due to the complexity of each culture’s mythology, the many different gods, languages, and people involved, their study and the attempts made thus far to understand and explain it all have not resulted in a clear, unified discourse, but in a multiplicity of interpretations. This can make getting a clear and consistent picture from the available literature a little daunting. 
  	From differences in the spelling of names to differences in the gods that are attributed to each pantheon and their roles in the myths and their unique features, the reader venturing into the mythology and history of Mesoamerica - and of Tezcatlipoca in particular - should be aware that, while there are certainly incontrovertible facts and data on which there is a general consensus. In addition, the information offered in one source may very well differ from that found in another, as each author makes their own interpretations and draws their own conclusions from the evidence studied.

  Taking the clothes they wore as a starting point, Paul Galvin skilfully weaves together a collection of stories of Irishmen who defined the culture and mood of their time.
  In Push, he tells the story of the legendary Walker Brothers – cyclists and soldiers who pedalled through a storm for Ireland at the 1912 Stockholm Games and subsequently served as rebel bike couriers during the 1916 Rising. In Born Mad, discover another side to Samuel Beckett – sartor and prolific sportsman who had knockout power as a champion school's boxer. In Boland, we learn about Harry Boland's background as a trained tailor, and in Jack, we encounter Jack B. Yeats at the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris.
  These are just some of men who have inspired Paul's own fashion collections and whom he writes about here in a fascinating collection that shines a light on how history is woven into the clothes Irishmen wear.

  All the Wide Border: Wales...

  A Waterstones Travel Book of the Year 2023 
  A funny, warm and timely meditation on identity and belonging, following the scenic route along the England–Wales border: Britain’s deepest faultline. 
  There is a line on the map: to one side Wales, small, rugged and stubborn; on the other England, crucible of the most expansionist culture the world has ever seen. It is a line that has been dug, debated, defined and defended for twenty centuries. 
  All the Wide Border is a personal journey through the places, amongst the people, and across the divides of the border between England and Wales. Taking in some of our loveliest landscapes, and our darkest secrets, this is a region of immeasurable wonder and interest. It is here that the deepest roots and thorniest paradoxes of Britishness lie. The border between the countries, even as a concept, is ragged, jagged and many-layered. 
  Garlanded author Mike Parker has adored and explored these places his entire life. Born in England but settled in Wales, he finds himself typical of many in being pulled in both directions. His journey is divided into three legs, corresponding with the watersheds of the three great border rivers: the Dee in the north, the Severn in the centre, the Wye in the south. Neither quite England nor Wales, the furzy borderland he uncovers — the March — is another country. 
  Picking apart the many notions and clichés of Englishness, Welshness and indeed Britishness, Mike Parker plays with the very idea of borders: our fascination with them, our need for them, and our response to their power. In his hands, the England–Wales frontier is revealed to be a border within us all, and it is fraying, fast. 
  Mike Parker's All the Wide Border is a compelling exploration of the England-Wales border, blending history and social commentary in a series of insightful essays. This new addition to his collection of travelogues is a top pick for anyone interested in European history and culture. 
  For fans of Tom Bullough (Sarn Helen), Gavin Ortlund (Why God Makes Sense in a World That Doesn't), Tim Hannigan (The Granite Kingdom), Chloe Dalton (Raising Hare), and Samantha Harvey (The Shapeless Unease).
