  ‘A treat’ ALICE LOXTON 
  ‘Five stars from me…’ AL MURRAY 
  An unmissable collaboration between two comedy legends – an irresistible, family-friendly deep dive into the murky lives of the British monarchy. 
  Willie, Willie, Harry, Stee, Harry, Dick, John, Harry three. One, two, three Neds, Richard Two, Henries, four, five, six, then who? 
  Charlie Higson has always been fascinated by the story of the monarchy: from the b*stardly to the benevolent, the brilliant to the brutal. In this wonderful new book, using the famous rhyme he learned at school as his trusty guide, Charlie takes us through the history of this bizarre and long-lasting institution, introducing readers to every single ruler since poor Harold got it in the eye at the Battle of Hastings (or did he?). 
  Who were all these people, and what did they do? It’s all here. Bloody treachery? Check. Unruly incest? Check. A couple of Cromwells? Check. The War of Jenkins Ear? Sadly, for Robert Jenkins, check. 
  A rip-roaring journey that takes in the Normans, Plantagenets, Tudors, Stuarts, Hanoverians and Windsors, not to mention the infamous Blois (how can we forget them?), Willie, Willie, Harry, Stee is an utterly engrossing and grossly entertaining guide to who ruled when and whether they were any good at it. 
  Pre-order your copy of the latest non-fiction biography from Sunday Times bestselling author, Charlie Higson. His exploration of mediaeval and renaissance Europe is a top-performing deep dive into Britain's royalty.

  Radionics is the term for machines which manipulate life forces. This is often for healing or increasing psychic perceptions.The Author is an engineer and has many decades of experience with the paranormal and well as time learning and experimenting with radionics devices from the 1970s.While radionics devices are often considered pseudoscience, those opinions don’t take into account the sensitivities of individuals who have incredible paranormal and healing abilities.In my first year of engineering school at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York I met a man who became my mentor in the Paranormal and other things too. This was in 1973.I learned to meditate and how to open my crown chakra to take in vital forces which allowed me to do many things including healing others.In addition I also met another middle aged guy at a Psychic Fair in Saratoga Springs, New York. He was a researcher in the arcane field of Kirlian Photography.In this book the history of radionics is discussed, some of the major influencers on that history, how these devices are used for healing, and even some plans for building radionics devices. My hope is that this book will give you a good grounding in radionics to learn to use it productively for your own efforts.

  A Question of Standing - The...

  The mission of the CIA has always been intelligence. Seventy-five years ago, in the year of its creation, the National Security Act gave the agency, uniquely in world history up to that point, a democratic mandate to pursue that mission of intelligence. It gave the CIA a special standing in the conduct of United States foreign relations. That standing diminished when successive American presidents ordered the CIA to exceed its original mission. When they tasked the agency secretly to overthrow democratic governments, the United States lost its international standing, and its command of a majority in the United Nations General Assembly. Such dubious operations, even the government's embrace of assassination and torture, did not diminish the standing of the CIA in United States public opinion. However, domestic interventions did. CIA spying on domestic protesters led to tighter congressional oversight from the 1970s on. 
   
   
   
  A Question of Standing offers a balanced narrative and perspective on recognizable episodes in the CIA's history. Famous incidents include the Bay of Pigs invasion, the War on Terror, 9/11, the weapons of mass destruction deception, the Iran estimate of 2007, the assassination of Osama bin Laden, and Fake News. The book also defends the CIA's exposure of foreign meddling in United States elections.

  John Anthony Ciardi (June 24, 1916 - March 30, 1986) was an American poet, translator, and etymologist. While primarily known as a poet, Ciardi pursued etymology, contributed to the Saturday Review as a columnist and long-time poetry editor, directed the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference in Vermont, and recorded commentaries for National Public Radio. In 1959, Ciardi published a book on how to read, write, and teach poetry, How Does a Poem Mean?, which has proven to be among the most-used books of its kind.
