  A richly detailed, in-depth look at fixed stars and their role in affecting astrological predictions.    Since prehistory, humanity has been held in thrall by the night sky, captivated by the mystery of the stars. Seeking to make sense of such a magical overhead landscape, people used the stars to relate beliefs, creation stories, and mythologies. And just as the fixed stars have ancient origins in human life, their astrological interpretations get right to the heart of our lives.   Celebrated astrologer Bernadette Brady melds modern astrological techniques with Egyptian and early Greek mythology to bring astrologers to a deeper understanding of the horoscope and provides delineations for using fixed stars in chart interpretation. Her methods open a window on the fixed stars, revealing how a major star in a person’s chart indicates the stage of life in which it is active and how it affirms the person’s life journey through the mythology that the star represents. Though the fixed stars have been watched and studied for all of human history, Brady’s Book of Fixed Stars continues to be the astrological bible for how to use them in practice. This is an essential resource that should be on every astrologer’s bookshelf.  The book includes Paran maps, star maps, star phases, and mythologies for over sixty stars,New insights into the natal use of fixed stars, as well as their use in mundane astrology,Extensive appendices of graphs and tables to help astrologers find rising or setting dates for any given location,And a listing of 176 stars with their 21st-century positions. Originally published by Weiser Books in 1999, this Weiser Classics edition includes a new foreword by Chloe Margherita.

  Anarchism: The Basics - An...

  Anarchism is often misunderstood as simply chaos or disorder, but it is, in fact, a political and philosophical ideology that seeks the abolition of unjust systems of power, particularly the state and hierarchical structures. At its core, anarchism advocates for a society based on voluntary cooperation, mutual aid, and the dismantling of coercive institutions. It emphasizes individual freedom, collective responsibility, and the rejection of authority in all its forms, whether governmental, economic, or social. 
  The roots of anarchist thought can be traced back to the early 19th century, with thinkers like Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, who famously declared that "property is theft," and later, figures like Mikhail Bakunin and Peter Kropotkin. These early anarchists critiqued the existing state, capitalism, and organized religion, arguing that they were inherently oppressive and exploitative. Anarchism, for these thinkers, was not just about rejecting government, but also about challenging societal norms that perpetuate inequality and injustice. 
  One of the most important aspects of anarchism is its emphasis on direct action and the creation of alternative systems of organization. Anarchists believe that meaningful change does not come from traditional political structures like elections or parliamentary processes, but through grassroots action and community-based solutions. This can involve protests, strikes, and other forms of resistance, but also the establishment of cooperative enterprises, mutual aid networks, and non-hierarchical communities.

  Traitor's Odyssey - The Untold...

  'A delicious, gossipy and thoroughly engaging romp ... heartily recommended.' Tim Tate, author of Hitler's British Traitors and The Spy Who Was Left Out in the Cold
  'A captivating page-turner ...' Helen Fry, author of Women in Intelligence
  
  
  Ambassador's daughter, Nazi love interest, Soviet spy, FBI most wanted.
  
  Accompanying her parents to Berlin in the 1930s, Martha Dodd knew almost nothing about Adolf Hitler or the Nazis. Yet almost overnight, she stepped into the spotlight, and found herself at the over-heated centre of Hitler's 'New Germany', befriending and dating several high-ranking Nazis, including the head of the Gestapo.
  
  An affair with a dashing Russian diplomat saw her recruited as a spy, and so began a long and tumultuous career in both Berlin and America, including attempts to infiltrate First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt's inner circle and playing a key role in Henry Wallace's disastrous 1948 presidential campaign.
  
  Betrayed by a Hollywood-hustler-turned-double-agent, Martha spent years under deep FBI surveillance - escaping twice - and went to ground in Cold War Prague, sad, lonely, rich and bored, living out her final decades in a Communist Sunset Boulevard.
  
  Largely forgotten, Martha Dodd began to emerge as an iconic historical figure in the early 2000s. While her scandalous behaviour and pro-Soviet leanings were never much in dispute, the actual matter of her guilt remained unresolved. Now, using recently released KGB archived information and FBI files, author and journalist Brendan McNally sets the record straight in Traitor's Odyssey, telling the full epic tale of Martha Dodd's life for the first time, casting her in a new and bright light.
