In 1955, following the devastation of the Korean War, Bertha and Harry Holt made headlines for adopting eight Korean children.

“Can we survive this?” worried friends ask Lamar Alexander. A US senator who started in JFK’s Justice Department, worked in the Nixon White House, turned down serving as GOP Watergate counsel and as Ford’s campaign manager, walked for six months across Tennessee to become governor, lost two runs for president, and served as a university president and education secretary before winning three senate terms—Lamar Alexander answers that question with a resounding, “Yes.”

In this fresh and perspective-shifting narrative, American Crown is an absorbing blend of American history and royal biography that brings to life the past generations who will shape the Prince of Wales’s role in the future of Britain, America and the world.

When Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. broke from the Democratic Party and joined forces with Donald Trump, it shocked the political establishment and ignited a movement no one saw coming. Out of that moment came MAHA—Make America Healthy Again—a bipartisan revolution uniting farmers and homesteaders, conservatives and progressives, skeptics and visionaries around a shared mission: healthier food, stronger communities, and freedom from the grip of Big Pharma and Big Ag.

Before the bestselling books, the media empire, and the millions of loyal listeners, Glenn Beck was spinning the hottest tracks of the ’90s and cracking jokes in a fast-paced morning zoo-type show. But just beyond the laughter and chart-toppers, a seismic shift was quietly underway. This behind-the-scenes chronicle captures a pivotal moment in modern radio history—Beck’s final years in Top 40 and the calculated evolution of his on-air persona. Between 1997 and 1999, while the world was partying like it was 1999 (because it was), Beck was already thinking ten steps ahead.

It’s been six years since the COVID-19 pandemic threw the world into organized chaos. And though the masks are largely gone, the plexiglass has been taken down, and even as we have returned to normalcy in many senses of the word, nobody can deny that everything has changed. Herein lies the heart of the issue, how exactly did the CDC and other supposed experts get so many things so wrong? Can the fog of uncertainty that surrounds a novel pandemic explain how off-course our leaders found themselves during the early years of the 2020s?

America has never had more ways to “connect,” yet we’ve never been more divided, lonely, and silent. Civil discourse—once the lifeblood of democracy—has been replaced by a fear of losing friends and family, being ridiculed on social media, getting swatted by anonymous callers, or losing your job, all because of words you spoke.

Nel 1948 nacque lo Stato d'Israele. Ma nel 1948 ebbe luogo anche la Nakba ('catastrofe'), ovvero la cacciata di circa 250.000 palestinesi dalla loro terra. La vulgata israeliana ha sempre narrato che in quell'anno, allo scadere del Mandato britannico in Palestina, le Nazioni Unite avevano proposto di dividere la regione in due Stati: il movimento sionista era d'accordo, ma il mondo arabo si oppose; per questo, entrò in guerra con Israele e convince i palestinesi ad abbandonare i territori – nonostante gli appelli dei leader ebrei a rimanere – pur di facilitare l'ingresso delle truppe arabe.

Longtemps rassurée par son appartenance à l'OTAN et sa capacité de dissuasion nucléaire, la France a, pendant des décennies, laissé s'effondrer son budget de défense. L'autonomie stratégique du pays exige désormais une vision à dix ans et un plan de réarmement massif et rapide, qui rétablisse la cohérence entre les menaces, les missions et les moyens pour nos armées. C'est aussi à un réarmement moral et civique qu'il convient de s'atteler. Il est plus que jamais urgent de les restaurer, notamment par le biais d'un service national rénové, pour le succès des armes de la France.

Marking a milestone for women in state government, Marlene M. Johnson became Minnesota’s first woman lieutenant governor under Rudy Perpich’s gubernatorial administration in January 1983. That same year, she met her husband, Peter, and their deeply loving relationship profoundly sustained her for twenty-seven years. Rise to the Challenge weaves these personal and professional stories together in a courageous portrait of dedication and leadership.

What if the real secret isn’t what they’re hiding—but what we refuse to see? For thousands of years, power has lived in the shadows. From the forbidden temples of Egypt to the boardrooms of billionaires, secret societies have shaped empires, written laws, and erased their own fingerprints from history. In Secret Societies: Between Power and Deception, Heinrich Wilson unravels the hidden threads connecting the ancient mystery cults, the Knights Templar, the Freemasons, the Illuminati, Skull & Bones, and today’s digital elite.

There are few symbols of modern power as instantly recognisable as a man in a dark suit with an earpiece, scanning a crowd that is cheering for someone else. The posture is familiar, almost cinematic now. The face is neutral, but the attention is absolute. He is there to be unnoticed and yet, paradoxically, he is impossible to ignore. He stands near the president, near a president’s spouse, near a visiting leader, near a microphone, near a motorcade door, near the edge of a stage. Sometimes he seems to be watching nothing at all. Then, in a fraction of a second, he moves.

In today's climate of highly polarised, culture war-fuelled and personality driven politics, The State of This! A Thicky Thicky Dumb Dumb's Guide to British Politics is the book we all need to make sense of the seemingly endless bad decision making by those in power in the UK. In The State of This!

This book explores the essential role of political pragmatism in presidential leadership. Through a historical lens, it shows that effective Presidents such as Bush, Ford, FDR, Lincoln, and Jefferson understood that true leadership sometimes requires guiding the country in directions not immediately supported by the public or even their own party. The opening chapter examines the sources of presidential power and traces how the office has evolved through the actions of earlier Presidents.

Lead With Confidence and Clarity. If you are a leader, supervisor, or manager who wants simple, practical ways to improve your leadership and stop common mistakes, this audiobook is for you.

You didn’t create it. You didn’t agree to it. But it controls your life. This is the story of credit, not as a convenience, but as a control system. Behind every mortgage denial, sky-high car loan, or job rejection, there’s a silent judge pulling the strings: your credit score. And it doesn’t just follow you. It defines you. In this book, JJ breaks open the black box. You’ll see how private companies like Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion turned your financial behavior into a commodity.

What truly shapes a leader? Conscience and Command: The Personal Convictions That Guided America’s Commanders in Chief looks beyond politics and policies to uncover the deeply held beliefs, moral principles, and faith that guided twelve of America’s presidents. From George Washington’s steadfast sense of duty to Ronald Reagan’s power of words, each story reveals the convictions that defined their leadership in times of triumph and trial.
