  The Essential Secret Teachings of All Ages distills Manly P. Hall’s monumental masterwork into a powerful, accessible volume—an abridgement that preserves the author’s original language, symbolism, and philosophical intent while removing repetition and excessive exposition. 
  Hall’s timeless exploration of the hidden foundations of religion, philosophy, science, and myth remains wholly intact. Sacred geometry, Hermetic philosophy, ancient mysteries, alchemy, astrology, and the esoteric traditions of the world’s great civilizations are presented with the same clarity, reverence, and intellectual depth that made the original a cornerstone of modern esoteric study. 
  This essential edition is not a reinterpretation, modernization, or simplification. It is a careful condensation, allowing readers to engage directly with Hall’s voice and insights in a form suited to contemporary study—without sacrificing meaning, nuance, or authority. 
  Designed for both new readers and longtime students of esoteric wisdom, The Essential Secret Teachings of All Ages offers direct access to one of the most influential philosophical works of the twentieth century—streamlined, faithful, and enduring.

  Responses to 7 October: Law and...

  One of three volumes responding to the 7 October attack, Law and Society begins with a legal and a genocide studies critique of the claim that Israel is genocidal; another reflects on the absence of an understanding of antisemitism in international legal discourse. 
  There are reflections on experiences in the Palestine solidarity movement and on the twists that discourse there takes. Contributions draw on Judaism, feminism, and sociology to face what happened and to trace how Israelis were transported back to a quintessentially pre-Israel Jewish experience. Others survey reports of antisemitism around the globe in the wake of 7 October, including pieces about Britain and Germany. 
  This work will appeal to scholars, students, and activists with an interest in antisemitism, Jewish studies, and the politics of Israel.

  In the Shadows of the American...

  In a completely original analysis, prizewinning historian Alfred W. McCoy explores America’s rise as a world power—from the 1890s through the Cold War—and its bid to extend its hegemony deep into the twenty-first century through a fusion of cyberwar, space warfare, trade pacts, and military alliances. McCoy then analyzes the marquee instruments of US hegemony—covert intervention, client elites, psychological torture, and worldwide surveillance. 
  Peeling back layers of secrecy, McCoy exposes a military and economic battle for global domination fought in the shadows, largely unknown to those outside the highest rungs of power. Can the United States extend the “American Century” or will China guide the globe for the next hundred years? McCoy devotes his final chapter to these questions, boldly laying out a series of scenarios that could lead to the end of Washington’s world domination by 2030.

  The Adventures of Miss Barbara Pym

  ‘Captures both Barbara and her writing so miraculously’ JILLY COOPER 
  Picked as a Book to Look Forward to in 2021 by the Guardian, The Times and the Observer 
  A Radio 4 Book of the Week, April 2021 
  Barbara Pym became beloved as one of the wittiest novelists of the late twentieth century, revealing the inner workings of domestic life so brilliantly that her friend Philip Larkin announced her the era’s own Jane Austen. But who was Barbara Pym and why was the life of this English writer – one of the greatest chroniclers of the human heart – so defined by rejection, both in her writing and in love? 
  Pym lived through extraordinary times. She attended Oxford in the thirties when women were the minority. She spent time in Nazi Germany, falling for a man who was close to Hitler. She made a career on the Home Front as a single working girl in London’s bedsit land. Through all of this, she wrote. Diaries, notes, letters, stories and more than a dozen novels – which as Byrne shows more often than not reflected the themes of Pym’s own experience: worlds of spinster sisters and academics in unrequited love, of powerful intimacies that pulled together seemingly humble lives. 
  Paula Byrne’s new biography is the first to make full use of Barbara Pym’s archive. Brimming with new extracts from Pym’s diaries, letters and novels, this book is a joyous introduction to a woman who was herself the very best of company. 
  Byrne brings Barbara Pym back to centre stage as one of the great English novelists: a generous, shrewdly perceptive writer and a brave woman, who only in the last years of her life was suddenly, resoundingly recognised for her genius. 
  Byrne's biography of Pym, the Sunday Times bestselling author, is a literary masterpiece that delves into the history of an English author who was a genius in her own right. It is a top pick for those interested in the lives of authors and their journey to recognition. 
  For fans of Devoney Looser (The Making of Jane Austen), Lucy Worsley (Jane Austen at Home), Anne De Courcy (Snowdon), Olivia Laing (The Lonely City), and Colm Tóibín (The Master).

  After a thirty-year career as a writer, instructor, and editor, Mark Rennella has crafted a battle-tested method to help students and young professionals who want to improve their writing: the One-Idea Rule, anchored on the assertion that every component of a successful piece of writing should express only one idea. 
   
   
   
  With The One-Idea Rule, writers embarking on their adult lives and professional journeys will have a reliable methodology they can easily remember and count on for all of their writing tasks, as well as increased confidence about the cogency of their writing and its potential for impact in the public sphere. 
   
   
   
  Most advice about writing looks like a long laundry list of dos and don'ts. For those already accomplished as writers, these lists can be a helpful addition to an already-developed communication style. But for teens starting college and young professionals entering the workforce, it can be challenging to wield such complex advice to tackle increasingly demanding writing assignments. 
   
   
   
  The One-Idea Rule is a writing primer aligned and empathetic with any young writer's needs.
