Great Hatred, Little Room - Jonathan Powell

Making peace in Northern Ireland was the greatest success of the Blair government, and one of the greatest achievements in British politics since the Second World War. In Jonathan Powell s masterly account we learn just how close the talks leading to the Good Friday agreement came to collapse and how the parties finally reached a deal.Pithy, outspoken and precise, Powell, Tony Blair s chief of staff and chief negotiator, gives us that rarest of things, a true insider s account of politics at the highest level. He demonstrates how the events in Northern Ireland have valuable lessons for those seeking to end conflict in other parts of the world and shows us how the process of making peace is sometimes messy and often blackly comic.

Why Am I Afraid to Tell You Who I Am? - John Powell

This book by the author of Why Am I Afraid to Love? contains insights on self-awareness, personal growth and communication with others. Why do people continually hide their real selves from the people around them? Why are so many so insecure and afraid to open up? The answer, explains John Powell, is that maturity is reached by communicating and interacting with others. This book considers the consequences our real self faces if no one else ever finds out what we are like. In this enduring classic, the companion to Why Am I Afraid to Love?, John Powell explains how to be more emotionally open, and shows how people adopt roles and play psychological games to protect their inner selves. The courage to be our real selves can be developed, and then we can begin to grow. Now newly designed for a fresh audience, Why Am I Afraid to Tell You Who I Am? is as relevant as it has been for twenty years. With a proven track record, it continues to speak to the needs and aspirations of people today. It is best included in self help sections of general bookshops, but also has a religious appeal.

Varování před masovou migrací neevropského obyvatelstva a ideologií „antidiskriminace - Enoch Powell

V této publikaci vám předkládáme překlad světově proslulého projevu anglického politika Enocha Powella, v kterém veřejně varoval Angličany před masovou migrací neevropského obyvatelstva na Britské ostrovy a před tzv. „antidiskriminačními“ zákony, které zvýhodňují nebělošské cizince a diskriminují původní bílé obyvatele. Fakticky se pod rouškou boje s rasismem začaly omezovat občanská práva původních obyvatel, například právo odmítnout někomu pronajmout svou nemovitost, když jste ji deklarovali k pronájmu. Pokud by úřady dospěly k názoru, že vaše odmítnutí bylo motivováno diskriminací, tak jste mohli být přísně potrestáni bez ohledu na to, jestli jste opravdu byli motivování rasistickým postojem nebo jen obavou z možného násilí zájemce o pronájem.Tento projev zlidověl pod názvem „řeky krve“. Paradoxně byl projev pronesen v Birminghamu, který je dnes považován za město již prakticky bez převažující anglické kultury – což je výsledek několik desítek let trvající masové migrace neevropského obyvatelstva.Jen pro ilustraci: v roce 2021 se k muslimskému vyznání hlásilo 341 811 obyvatel Birminghamu, což představuje 29,9 % celkové populace města. Dle sčítání lidu v Anglii a Walesu, bez Skotska a Severního Irska, jsou výsledky následující: Počet muslimů v Anglii a Walesu vzrostl z odhadovaných 226.000 v roce 1971 na přibližně 3,9 milionu v roce 2021, což představovalo 6,5 % populace. To představuje nárůst o 1 611 % za 50 let!Několik let po pronesení svého projevu v jednom rozhovoru pro média komentoval Powell postoj většiny britských politiků:„Moje vize je, že politici všech stran řeknou: ‚No, Enoch Powell má pravdu, neříkáme to veřejně, ale víme to soukromě, Enoch Powell má pravdu a bezpochyby se to vyvine tak, jak říká. Ale pro nás je lepší teď nic nedělat a nechat to, jestli to nastane až po našem odchodu, než abychom se dotýkali mnoha jedovatých kopřiv, což bychom museli, kdybychom se v této fázi pokusili zvrátit výsledek.‘ Tak ať to pokračuje, dokud nebude třetina centra Londýna, třetina Birminghamu a Wolverhamptonu barevná, dokud nepřijde občanská válka, ať to dál pokračuje. Nebudeme za to viněni, buď už budeme pryč, nebo se z toho nějak vyvlékneme.“

To The City - Alexander Christie-Miller

â ˜An enthralling guide to one of the worldâ ™s great cities â “ that blends history and insights into the present day from one of the most astute commentators on the politics of Istanbul PETER FRANKOPAN A love letter to this ancient capital THE TIMESWalking along the crumbling defensive walls of Istanbul and talking to those he passes, Alexander Christie-Miller finds a distillation of the countryâ ™s history, a mirror of its present, and a shadow of its future.Caught between two seas and two continents, Istanbul lies at the centre of the most pressing challenges of our time. With environmental decay, rapacious development and tightening authoritarianism straining its social fabric to breaking point, it represents the precipitous moment civilizations around the world are currently facing.In and around its crumbling Byzantine-era fortifications, Alexander Christie-Miller meets people who are experiencing the looming crisis and fighting back, sometimes triumphing despite the odds.To the City seamlessly blends two narratives: the story of Turkeyâ ™s tumultuous recent past told through the lives of those who live around the walls, and the story of Ottoman Sultan Mehmet IIâ ™s siege and capture of the city in 1453. That event still looms large in Turkey, as Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan like a latter-day sultan invokes its memory as part of his effort to transform the country in an echo of its imperial past.This is a meditation on the soul of Istanbul, a paean to its resilience and fortitude. Walk with Christie-Miller and see the danger, beauty and hope.

Aristotles Guide to Self-Persuasion - Jay Heinrichs

Rhetoric once sat at the centre of elite education. Alexander the Great, Shakespeare and Martin Luther King, Jr. used it to build empires, write deathless literature and inspire democracies.Here, Heinrichs shows us how these persuasive tools, honed over more than three thousand years of use persuading others, can be turned on our most difficult audiences – ourselves. Using techniques invented by the likes of Aristotle and Cicero and deployed by some of history’s most persuasive characters, we see how rhetoric can convert the gloomiest of situations into positive ones. Illustrated with examples from history and pop culture – Winston Churchill, Iron Man, Dolly Parton, and the woman who serendipitously invented the chocolate chip cookie – Aristotle’s Guide to Self-Persuasion tests the tools of self-persuasion and asks: Can the same techniques that seduce lovers, sell diet books and overturn governments help us achieve our most desired goals?Filled with entertaining and scientific studies that showcase the life-changing power of language, Aristotle s Guide to Self-Persuasion will teach you how to be the most successful person you can be, just by talking to yourself.

You Have the Right to Remain Innocent - James Duane

An urgent, compact manifesto that will teach you how to protect your rights, your freedom, and your future when talking to police.Law professor James J. Duane became a viral sensation thanks to a 2008 lecture outlining the reasons why you should never agree to answer questions from the police—especially if you are innocent and wish to stay out of trouble with the law. In this timely, relevant, and pragmatic new book, he expands on that presentation, offering a vigorous defense of every citizen’s constitutionally protected right to avoid self-incrimination. Getting a lawyer is not only the best policy, Professor Duane argues, it’s also the advice law-enforcement professionals give their own kids.Using actual case histories of innocent men and women exonerated after decades in prison because of information they voluntarily gave to police, Professor Duane demonstrates the critical importance of a constitutional right not well or widely understood by the average American. Reflecting the most recent attitudes of the Supreme Court, Professor Duane argues that it is now even easier for police to use your own words against you. This lively and informative guide explains what everyone needs to know to protect themselves and those they love.

To The City - Alexander Christie-Miller

â ˜An enthralling guide to one of the worldâ ™s great cities â “ that blends history and insights into the present day from one of the most astute commentators on the politics of Istanbul PETER FRANKOPAN A love letter to this ancient capital THE TIMESWalking along the crumbling defensive walls of Istanbul and talking to those he passes, Alexander Christie-Miller finds a distillation of the countryâ ™s history, a mirror of its present, and a shadow of its future.Caught between two seas and two continents, Istanbul lies at the centre of the most pressing challenges of our time. With environmental decay, rapacious development and tightening authoritarianism straining its social fabric to breaking point, it represents the precipitous moment civilizations around the world are currently facing.In and around its crumbling Byzantine-era fortifications, Alexander Christie-Miller meets people who are experiencing the looming crisis and fighting back, sometimes triumphing despite the odds.To the City seamlessly blends two narratives: the story of Turkeyâ ™s tumultuous recent past told through the lives of those who live around the walls, and the story of Ottoman Sultan Mehmet IIâ ™s siege and capture of the city in 1453. That event still looms large in Turkey, as Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan like a latter-day sultan invokes its memory as part of his effort to transform the country in an echo of its imperial past.This is a meditation on the soul of Istanbul, a paean to its resilience and fortitude. Walk with Christie-Miller and see the danger, beauty and hope. Deftly weaving together Istanbulâ ™s past and present, Christie-Millerâ ™s work is a beautifully written, nuanced examination of a city whose story is so often told in binaries Louise Callaghan, Turkey and Middle East correspondent for the Sunday Times and author of Father of Lions Speak

Baden Powell s Fighting Police The SAC - Ross Hamish

Exploring the creation and impact of Baden-Powell s South African Constabulary during and after the Boer War.This work begins in August 1900 during the war in South Africa, when mounted Boer commandos ranging across the veldt superseded pitched battles of massed armies and heavy weaponry. Thanks to his flair for organization, Baden-Powell is asked to create a mounted force with a combined military and police role, and will be answerable to the Commander-in-Chief and the civil High Commissioner.Rejecting Army models of command, Baden-Powell creates the South African Constabulary (SAC) with a small number of officers, dividing it into Troops of 100 men, then sub-dividing again into sections and the key working unit – the squad of six men under a corporal. To get the caliber of recruit he wants, the SAC will be better paid than the Army and he expects the men to be motivated by a code of honor, to be self-reliant and ‘handy men’ able to tackle any kind of work. Most recruits come from the UK, but in Canada, however, the Governor General intervenes and botches selection.The SAC’s effectiveness comes to light in this book – the first that deals with its creation and development; its wartime achievements and its peace-time transition into a community support helping local people returning to their homes. This work also highlights what Baden-Powell brought from the SAC and gave anew to the Scouts.Based on research using archive material in the UK, South Africa and Canada, it also includes images that have not previously appeared before in the public domain.
