Extreme Britain
Drawing on interviews with extremists, this timely study explores the relationship between gendered culture and political radicalism in a polarised Britain. Misogyny and ‘toxic masculinity’ are increasingly implicated in radicalisation. From the men’s incel (‘involuntary celibate’) movement online, to jihadist groups like Islamic State, to radical right ‘Free Speech’ protests —radicalisation spans ideologies. Though an often-used term, the process of radicalisation is not well understood, and the role of gender and masculinities has often been ignored. This book uses primary research among two of Britain’s key extremist movements: the banned Islamist group al-Muhajiroun, and those networked to it; and the anti-Islam radical right, including the English Defence League and Britain First, to reveal radicalisation as a masculinity project. Through interviews with leaders including Anjem Choudary, Jayda Fransen and Tommy Robinson, as well as their followers, Extreme Britain explores the emergence of extreme misogyny and masculinities. Pearson situates extreme identities in wider social norms, showing how masculinities are mobilised into action. The book cautions against oversimplifying extreme masculinity as ‘toxic’. It demonstrates how both men and women ‘do’ extreme masculinities and the costs and benefits to them both of activism. Understanding the men and women involved in extreme movements will better equip us to counter them. This fascinating study offers invaluable insight into some of their lives and motivations.

Bytes and Bullets
'An obligatory read for anyone who wants to understand the new forces shaping the future.' Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer-prize winning, New York Times bestselling author of Autocracy, Inc. and Twilight of Democracy. 'Couldn't be more timely. Mixes story-telling and analysis to illuminate the new technological arms race.' Peter Pomerantsev author of Nothing is True and Everything is Possible When it comes to global dominance, military technology has always been a major geopolitical driver. For decades, the West set the rules on innovation using soft power and government funding to develop its own exclusive cutting-edge defensive capabilities. But in the digital era, the breakthroughs - be it AI systems and autonomous drones, satellite internet or advanced semiconductors - are coming from private companies, not government labs. In Bytes and Bullets, Steve Feldstein explains how technology is transforming geopolitics, upending the ways that countries compete, and how they wage war. Through captivating stories and original field research, he shows how the West's dominance is being undercut at every turn by a combination of commercialization, authoritarian convergence led by China and Russia, and the emergence of new regional powers hungry for more influence. A new tech cold war is coming into focus fast and restrictions and sanctions are no longer enough to maintain international stability. Feldstein reports from its front line in this rich and at times alarming account of this pivotal moment in history, making an urgent call for the West to act now, or risk losing its international standing forever.

BODY MYTH HB
The Body Myth will transform the way a generation of women think, not just about one single aspect of being female, but about their lifetime experience of the female body.The female body has been misunderstood for centuries.Declared defective. Pathologised. Controlled. ExploitedIn The Body Myth, feminist writer and women''s health campaigner Milli Hill exposes the stories we’ve been told about being female and replaces them with a new narrative: women are powerful, strong and perfect just as we are.From menstruation to menopause, female biology has been misunderstood, medicalised, sexualised and sold back to us as a problem to fix. The result? A world in which women doubt their own strength, knowledge and instincts — while industries profit from their insecurity.Moving from the mirror to the clinic, from the clitoris to childbirth, Milli reveals how culture, medicine and history have misread women’s lives and why reclaiming a new understanding of female power is long overdue.Bold, eye-opening and deeply empowering, The Body Myth invites women to see themselves differently. Because being female was never the problem. It has always been the source of incredible power.Readers can''t get enough of Milli''s no-holds-barred writing:''I love your books'' J. K. Rowling''One of my very favourite birth writers'' Ricki Lake''Milli is a compassionate and passionate writer who puts women squarely at the heart of her endeavors'' Emma Barnett

Rival Modernities
What do Buffalo Bill and Gustave Eiffel have in common? These celebrities are both part of Venita Datta's analysis of competing notions of modernity and French-American relations at the turn of the twentieth century. Fin-de-siècle France saw itself as the premier modern country. A pioneer in the aviation and cinema industries, its capital Paris was home to the cultural avant-garde. Nonetheless, the French harbored ambivalent feelings toward modernity and expressed their critiques of a certain type of modernity by denigrating it as "American." To understand this ambivalence, Datta effectively contrasts four pairs of exemplary French and American figures: inventor-entrepreneurs Gustave Eiffel and Thomas Edison, reporters Nellie Bly and Gaston Leroux, celebrity politicians Georges Boulanger and Theodore Roosevelt, and adventurers Buffalo Bill and the Marquis de Morès. Through an examination of the differences in French perceptions of these famous pairs, Datta illustrates that they highlight competing values rooted in national identity, and reflect each nation's struggles with democracy. Filled with fascinating characters and detail, Datta's book illuminates both the rivalries between France and the United States and their deep connections at an important yet understudied moment in history. The legacy of these complex Franco-American cultural relations is profoundly relevant to the challenges contemporary democracies face today.

The way she describes everything hits every sense and builds an internal excitement if not slight trepidation to make this trip with her.

Isabella Blake-Thomas (Actress, Bee: wild ambassador)“In The Spirit of the Rainforest, Indigenous wisdom and scientific curiosity come together to show us how to reconnect with the natural world in holistic, meaningful ways.” – Dr. Jessica Hernandez“a remarkable storyteller, which she showcases in her phenomenal debut filled with traditional wisdom, scientific explorations and transformational connections.” – MS magazine “The Spirit of the Rainforest sweeps you into an unforgettable journey where an explorer’s insatiable curiosity becomes a bridge between Indigenous wisdom and scientific discovery. With luminous storytelling, it reveals how even the rainforest’s tiniest creatures can hold the keys to understanding and protecting our living planet.

Join scientist Dr Rosa Vasquez Espinoza as she uncovers one of the most unexplored regions on the planet. Dr Rosa is no stranger to the Amazon. Growing up with the rainforest as her back garden, she learnt the lessons of the rainforest from her grandmother, a native healer in natural medicine. She went on to pursue a classical education in science, gaining a PhD in the US, but has always been pulled back to the heart of the Amazon. As a leading biologist in her field, Rosa continues to explore the region through a unique blend of scientific inquiry and ancient insight. In this debut, you'll learn about Dr Rosa's journeys in the Amazon: her treacherous encounters with a boiling river, her conservation work with stingless bees, her experience of taking ayahuasca as a natural psychedelic - and all the amazing biodiversity of the rainforest. At the heart of Rosa's expedition is her passion to combine science with the indigenous knowledge of the Amazon. She shares her experience of learning from the indigenous communities that she visits, and shows what they have to teach us - stretching beyond the realm scientific knowledge. Here Rosa learns the most important lessons in how to reconnect to the natural world - and, in turn, will teach us to do the same. In this book, Rosa celebrates the richness of Amazonian culture, the wonders of biodiversity, and the enduring spiritual connections between humanity and the natural world.
Advanced Rune Magic
Accessing deeper levels of rune magic to achieve self-transformation• Comprehensively explores the meanings of the 24 Elder Futhark runes and how each serves as a distinct interface to the greater Mystery• Draws upon source texts such as the Prose and Poetic Eddas as well as the Anglo Saxon, Norwegian, and Icelandic Rune Poems• Offers methods to incorporate the runes into your daily life as powerful tools for contemplation and magical self-transformationThe runes are a system of magical symbols that can be used for divination and casting spells, both to harm and protect. While these uses of the runes are powerful, David Linder focuses on a deeper and arguably more significant level of the runic mysteries—the magic of self-transformation. The runes of the Elder Futhark are 24 facets of the great Mystery, which is translated as Runa. Each rune serves as a distinct interface that allows access to certain aspects of the great Mystery in order to heal, to reconnect, and to transform oneself. To grasp a rune is not just a matter of intellectual understanding, but a task of experiencing it physically and spiritually. Linder reveals how the lived experience of grasping a rune’s meaning is an initiatory step toward realizing one’s higher self and coming closer to the great Mystery. The author draws upon the Prose and Poetic Eddas as well as the Anglo-Saxon, Norwegian, and Icelandic Rune Poems to explain each rune. These source texts show how Nordic spirituality is more concerned with the practicalities of mundane life than dogmatic codes. Linder contextualizes the meaning of each rune for our time and reveals the concrete opportunities for growth that each rune offers when the spiritual insight is lived and embodied in the modern world. Advanced Rune Magic teaches methods to incorporate the runes into your daily life as tools for both contemplation and self-transformation, showing how simple applications can produce tangible results. While these methods can enrich one’s magical and spiritual practices, they will also lead to improved daily functioning, a stronger sense of purpose, and overall well-being.

An Inconvenience of Penguins
The problem started, as problems often do, with a penguin. From Kings and Emperors to Macaronis and Rockhoppers, penguins are one of the most immediately recognisable animals on Earth. Yet for all that familiarity, what do we really know about them? An Inconvenience of Penguins follows award-winning travel writer Jamie Lafferty as he visits all eighteen species in a bid to understand the birds and their extraordinarily varied habitats a little better. On voyages to some of the planet's most inaccessible and challenging landscapes, he recounts the history of our unique relationship with the world's most popular bird, telling not only the stories of the penguins, but also the people and places around them. From getting stranded in the Galapagos and marching through African guano fields to leading photography groups in the Antarctic and taking psychedelics on the Falklands, this is a birding quest like no other. Along the way, Lafferty relives the experiences of early polar explorers, for whom penguins were perplexing mysteries, welcome companions and even occasional meals, and meets the modern penguin lovers trying to save their fragile environments. Featuring cameos from a wide cast of characters including Ernest Shackleton, Charles Darwin and Sir Francis Drake, as well as beautiful photographs of each penguin species, An Inconvenience of Penguins is part love-letter to and part biography of these remarkable creatures.

I Want Everything
‘A delightful literary puzzle, posed to the reader in vibrant and clear-cut prose... It's rare for a writer to be this good both at crafting a sentence and at making you want to read the next one.’ Naoise Dolan, author of Exciting Times and The Happy Couple ‘Composed with stylistic brilliance and structural ingenuity, I Want Everything is that rare thing, a great contemporary novel... Dominic Amerena is a fantastic writer. (Seriously.)' Lauren Oyler, author of Fake Accounts and No Judgement You all know this, of course, but years and years ago, acclaimed Australian novelist Brenda Shales went missing. After two explosive, controversial books that would shape the literary canon of the country for decades to come — and that terrible legal scandal about plagiarism, of course — she was simply gone. That was, right up until a frustrated young writer sees an elderly woman swimming at his local pool in Melbourne. She looks familiar…very familiar in fact. No. It couldn’t be. Stunned, he returns home to confirm the impossible truth; it’s Brenda Shales, now in her old age and stranded in a retirement home. He’s determined to pursue her, to discover what happened to her all those years ago, and to possibly fulfil his dreams of literary stardom through a tell-all biography. But when he finds her, a case of mistaken identity and Brenda’s own terrible secrets begin to derail his ambitions, and ultimately, his entire life. From brilliant debut novelist Dominic Amerena, I Want Everything is a wickedly sharp story of desire and deception, authorship and authenticity, and the devastating costs of creative ambition.
