• The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man: How America really took over the world

    08

    ***THE WORD OF MOUTH INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER NOW UPDATED WITH 15 EXPLOSIVE NEW CHAPTERS***

    False economics. Threats, bribes, extortion. Debt, deception, coups, assassinations and unbridled military power. These are the tools used by the ‘corporatocracy’ – a vast network of corporations, banks, colluding governments and rich and powerful individuals – to ensure that they retain and expand their wealth and influence, growing richer and richer as the poor become poorer.

    In his original, post 9/11 book, John Perkins revealed how he was recruited as an economic hit man in the 1970s, and exposed the corrupt methods American corporations use to spread their influence in the developing world, cheating countries out of trillions of dollars. In this new, extensively updated edition he lays bare the latest, terrifying evolution of the economic hit man, and how the system has become even more entrenched and powerful than ever before.

    In New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, John Perkins provides fresh and chilling evidence of how the corporatocracy has grown its influence to every corner of the globe, making us all unwitting slaves to their regime. But he also provides advice on how we can end our unconscious support of the system and its self-serving, lethal economy.

  • Investigative Aesthetics: Conflicts and Commons in the Politics of Truth (Verso Futures)

    Today, artists are engaged in investigation. They probe corruption, state violence, environmental destruction and repressive technologies. At the same time, fields not usually associated with aesthetics make powerful use of it. Journalists and legal professionals pore over open source videos and satellite imagery to undertake visual investigations. This combination of diverse fields is what the authors call ‘investigative aesthetics’: mobilising sensibilities often associated with art, architecture and other such practices to find new ways of speaking truth to power.
    This book draws on theories of knowledge, ecology and technology, evaluates the methods of citizen counter-forensics, micro-history and art, and examines radical practices such as those of Wikileaks, Bellingcat, and Forensic Architecture. Investigative Aesthetics takes place in the studio and the laboratory, the courtroom and the gallery, online and in the streets, as it strives towards the construction of a new ‘common sensing’.
    The book is an inspiring introduction to a new field that brings together investigation and aesthetics to change how we understand and confront power today.

    To Nour Abuzaid for your brilliance, perseverance, and unshaken belief in the liberation of Palestine.

  • On Politics

    03

    A magisterial, one-volume history of political thought from Herodotus to the present, Ancient Athens to modern democracy – from author and professor Alan Ryan

    This is a book about the answers that historians, philosophers, theologians, practising politicians and would-be revolutionaries have given to one question: how should human beings best govern themselves?

    Almost every modern government claims to be democratic; but is democracy really the best way of organising our political life? Can we manage our own affairs at all? Should we even try? In the west, do we actually live in democracies? In this extraordinary book Alan Ryan engages with the great thinkers of the past to show us how vividly their ideas speak to us in today’s uncertain world.

    ALAN RYAN was born in London in 1940 and taught for many years at Oxford, where he was a Fellow of New College and Reader in Politics. He was Professor of Politics at Princeton from 1988 to 1996, when he returned to Oxford to become Warden of New College and Professor of Political Theory until his retirement in 2009. His previous books include The Philosophy of John Stuart Mill, Bertrand Russell: A Political Life and John Dewey and the High Tide of American Liberalism. He is a Fellow of the British Academy.

    Reviews of On Politics:

    ‘An engaging and smart survey of major political thinkers … Through Ryan [they] speak directly to the present’ Mark Mazower, Prospect

    ‘Ryan’s book is a magnificent piece of work, clear (even when the ideas he’s exploring are obscure) and engaging (even when the theory in the original is forbidding) … anyone remotely interested in political theory will profit from reading or dipping into Ryan’s On Politics, whether this is their first acquaintance with the canon of political theory or whether they have been “Hobbing and Locking” for decades … It’s a remarkable experience’ Jeremy Waldron, New York Review of Books

    ‘Ambitiously and elegantly covers two and a half millennia of political thinking … despite covering huge intellectual terrain, [On Politics] a delight both when it explores detail and also when it draws conclusions of a broader perspective’ Justin Champion, BBC History Magazine

    ‘On Politics is crammed with smart observations and wise advice’ John Keane, Financial Times

    ‘An impressive achievement’ Economist

    “The courageous Robert Spencer busts myths and tells truths about jihadists that no one else will tell.” —MICHELLE MALKIN

    While many choose to simply blame the West for provoking terrorists, Robert Spencer’s new book The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)™ reveals why it is time to ignore political correctness and identify the enemy – if we hope to ever defeat them.

    In a fast-paced, politically incorrect tour of Islamic teachings and Crusades history, Spencer reveals the roots of Islamic violence and hatred. Spencer refutes the myths popularized by left-wing academics and Islamic apologists who justify their political agendas with contrived historical “facts.”

    Exposing myth after myth, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)™ tackles Islam’s institutionalized mistreatment of non-Muslims, the stifling effect Islam has on science and free inquiry, the ghastly lure of Islam’s X-rated Paradise for suicide bombers and jihad terrorists, the brutal Islamic conquests of the Christian lands of the Middle East and North Africa, and more.

    InThe Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)™, you will learn:

    • How Muhammad did not teach “peace and tolerance”—instead he led armies and ordered the assassination of his enemies
    • Why American Muslim groups and left-wing academics are engaged in a huge cover-up of Islamic doctrine and historyHow today’s jihad terrorists following the Qur’an’s command to make war on Jews and Christians have the same motives and goals as the Muslims who fought the Crusaders
    • Why the Crusades were not acts of unprovoked aggression by Europe against the Islamic world, but a delayed response to centuries of Muslim aggression
    • What must be done today—from reading the Qur’an to reclassifying Muslim organizations—in order to defeat jihad terrorists

  • How to plan a wedding without killing anyone

    08
    “Wedding planning made fun, straightforward and exciting” – Planning my own wedding, I soon realised that many of the books seemed to assume a basic level of wedding planning knowledge and terminology. I didn’t possess this at the time so felt like I ended up googling every other word and becoming increasingly confused. Most planners also seemed to set out a rigid 12-month planning time frame. With 8 months to plan our big day, this wasn’t at all what I needed and left me feeling confused and deflated at times! This book is completely unique, and like nothing I came across whilst wedding planning. It takes a much more relaxed approach than other wedding planning books – aiming to make the experience more enjoyable. I break the process down into easily digestible chapters with clear headings, allowing readers to dip in and out of chapters relevant to them. Written in a friendly style so that you, the reader, feels as if you are talking to a close friend, who is as excited about their special day as you are. Think of it as a YouTube informational video crossed with a book and a wedding planner. This book is set to become a wedding planning classic!

  • The Trams of Blackpool 2009-2019

    01
    Although the trams have run along the seafront of Blackpool since 1885, this book just features those trams that I have seen between the years 2009-2019. Includes over 60 different trams, from Balloon cars to Centenary cars in various styles of cream and green plus colourful all over adverts. The book features over 150 photographs taken at several locations in Blackpool, plus Bispham and Fleetwood. Half the book shows the tramway before the upgrade, so it features many trams that do not exist in the Heritage fleet. Includes the 125th Anniversary Parade.
