Iâ ™m amazed sheâ ™s still standing.â ™ Imogen Edwards-JonesHow Not to Be a Political Wife is an unflinching account of life at the heart of politics, and what it s like to have politics rip the heart out of your life. Itâ ™s a story of high hopes and dirty tricks, broken friendships and divided loyalties, laughter and glamour.Recollections, as a great woman once said, may of course vary, but this is my story, the way I remember it, written with no fear, no favour â “ and no fucks left to give.Buckle up.I thought long and hard about writing this memoir. Iâ ™ve done so not to settle old scores or plead my case, but more because I hope itâ ™s a tale worth telling, not just for those who are interested in the political events of the past few years, but also because itâ ™s about the people and characters behind those events, and why things ended up the way they did.For nearly 20 years I was inside the rooms of government, a sanctioned eavesdropper on the rise â “ and fall â “ of the Cameroon style of Conservatism. At the same time I was building a career in journalism, raising two children and doing my best to support my own husband, Michael Gove, on his political journey. I was both an insider and an outsider; an observer â “ via my journalism â “ as well as a participant in the cut and thrust (mainly cut, if Iâ ™m honest) of frontline politics.After my divorce from Michael and the demise of the Conservativesâ ™ Old Guard, that all came to an end. Iâ ™m no longer officially a Westminster WAG, but you wonâ ™t find me mourning. Politics trampled my health, my happiness, my marriage, my sanity; it placed intolerable pressure on my loved ones, especially my children; it twisted my sense of self, and othersâ ™ sense of me; it tainted everything I did or said. I canâ ™t say I miss it. I do, however, miss the life and the relationships I had before it all. These are the recollections of a survivor, but they are also a love letter to all that was lost in the wreck.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERThe maths we learn in school can seem like an abstract set of rules, laid down by the ancients and not to be questioned. In fact, Jordan Ellenberg shows us, maths touches on everything we do, and a little mathematical knowledge reveals the hidden structures that lie beneath the world s messy and chaotic surface. In How Not to be Wrong, Ellenberg explores the mathematician s method of analyzing life, from the everyday to the cosmic, showing us which numbers to defend, which ones to ignore, and when to change the equation entirely. Along the way, he explains calculus in a single page, describes Gödel s theorem using only one-syllable words, and reveals how early you actually need to get to the airport.

â ˜Free as they want to beâ ™: Artists Committed to Memory is the companion publication to the FotoFocus biennial exhibition that is scheduled for Fall 2022 and will run at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center until Spring 2023. This project considers the historic and contemporary role that photography and film have played in remembering legacies of slavery and its aftermath while examining the social lives of Black Americans within various places including the land, at home, in photographic albums, at historic sites, and in public memory. This exhibition acknowledges artistsâ ™ constant involvement with efforts to explore the possibilities of freedom and their relationship to it. Their quest to be â ˜as free as they want to beâ ™ is envisioned in the subject matter they explore as well as in their persistent drive to innovate aesthetic practices in photographic media. The publication presents some 20 artists working in photography, video, silkscreen, projection, and mixed media installation. Free as they want to be is inspired by the words of James Baldwin and the timely theme of FotoFocus, World Record, as well as events of late that have shaped the world as we know it. The artists selected for this publication are on the frontlines, creating, documenting, and writing. The works they have conceived reflect defining moments in the struggle for racial justice and equality. Free as they want to be presents an occasion to reflect upon the past, to mark significant defining moments â “ both triumphs and tragedies â “ that characterize a people and their experiences in the present â “ and to propose future possibilities. The artists offer images that advance a different sense of empowerment. Their images thus play an integral part in casting resilient narratives as they commemorate endurance, longevity, and accomplishment. The timing of a publication like this could not be more urgent given the human toll of the pandemic, widening economic disparities, the threat of war, voting rights, global migration crises, and quotidian violence.

Have you ever felt implicit pressure to go along with something you believe not to be true?Since Live Not by Lies was originally published in 2020 with a warning for America, many have seen in Europe and other Western nations an acceleration of soft totalitarianism in our societies. Whether it is the effects of cancel culture online because of progressive voices marginalising conservative opinions, or the unprecedented restrictions of civil liberties in response to Covid-19, people feel coerced to go along with the approved narrative on whatever topic, even if, secretly, we may believe the truth is somewhat different.Rod Dreher believe this represents a creeping soft totalitarianism, where safety is seen as paramount and technology is increasingly employed in its pursuit. As we sleepwalk through the erosion of our freedoms, we hasten the possibility of a corporate surveillance state that restricts our ability to make decisions about our own lives. In Live Not By Lies, Dreher amplifies the alarm sounded by the brave men and women who fought totalitarianism in the former Soviet bloc and who see similarities today in the West. He draws on the experience of brave dissidents - some, like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, known worldwide, but many others whose quiet heroism is revealed here for the first time - who offer practical advice for how to identify this trend and resist it. Live Not By Lies aims to wake us and equip us for the long resistance.

This book considers the complex and often contradictory relations that are forged between boredom and everyday media use in the twenty-first century and demonstrates how networked media have developed new technical means of capitalizing on boredomâ ™s state of suspension to make it into a source of value creation. Focusing on the discursive, technological, and affective structures that encourage users to be entertaining and to remain entertained, the book analyses how boredom has been increasingly instrumentalized as both an individual mood and a wider structure of feeling that drives participation across media networks. It identifies the range of cultural techniques for codifying, classifying, sensing, and pre-empting boredom, as well as those that teach users, counter-intuitively, to embrace boring media as a means of coping with the intensities of always-on existence.However, if boredom is positioned in a digital network culture as a feeling that keeps driving us back to our social media feeds, it is important to ask how else it might operate. While the technological affordances of computational media have put pressure on our ability to conceive of boredom as a radical challenge to digital capitalism, this book attempts to think about the potential that might still be embedded in boredomâ ™s capacity to temporarily suspend or to neutralize dominant structures of attention and affect. Building on the work of Giorgio Agamben, Byung-Chul Han, Roland Barthes, and from historical accounts of boredom and entertainment, the book provides a new understanding of boredom in the context of networked media.

That night Hélene was killed, along with 88 other people, at the Bataclan Theatre. Three days later, Antoine wrote an open letter to his wife s killers on Facebook. He refused to be cowed or to let his baby son s life be defined by their acts. ‘For as long as he lives, this little boy will insult you with his happiness and freedom, he wrote. Instantly, that short post caught fire and was shared thousands of times around the world. You Will Not Have My Hate is an extraordinary and heartbreaking memoir which teaches us how to respond to a world full of hatred with generosity and love. This is the rare and unforgettable testimony of a survivor, and a universal message of hope and resilience. THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

While its tone is playful and frivolous, this book poses tough questions over the nature of religion and belief. Religion provides comfortable responses to the questions that have always beset humankind - why are we here, what is the point of being alive, how ought we to behave? Russell snatches that comfort away, leaving us instead with other, more troublesome alternatives: responsibility, autonomy, self-awareness. He tells us that the time to live is now, the place to live is here, and the way to be happy is to ensure others are happy.

Is your diet feeding or defeating disease?We are at a turning point in our understanding of how to prevent and fight disease. Rates of cancer, heart disease, strokes, diabetes, obesity and other common health problems are skyrocketing. However, the latest scientific research and clinical evidence is revealing that the power to protect ourselves against these threats and resist them lies in a simple solution: the foods we eat everyday. In Eat to Beat Disease, Dr William Li explains that your body was designed to fight threats like these and we have radically underestimated how food can be used to amplify this hidden power. Your body has five natural defence systems that, if functioning well, can protect you: angiogenesis (growing new blood vessels), cell regeneration, the microbiome, DNA protection and immunity. The healthy working of each has been found to be intimately connected to the foods we eat ⠓ and the findings are sometimes surprising. Discover: · Why scientists think drinking hot cocoa boosts stem cells crucial for your body s regeneration· The role of cheese and wine in maintaining healthy gut bacteria· Why drinking coffee lowers your risk of dyingRevealing more than 200 foods that you can incorporate into your life today to help you live longer, Dr William Li proposes a simple 5 x 5 x 5 framework, inviting you to choose five foods and eat them five times a day, to fortify your five defence systems. It is not about dieting or cutting out ⠓ it is about having the confidence to incorporate the healthy foods you already love into a plan for life-long change. It could save your life.

Few gave tiny Singapore much chance of survival when it was granted independence in 1965. How is it, then, that today the former British colonial trading post is a thriving Asian metropolis with not only the world s number one airline, best airport, and busiest port of trade, but also the world s fourth–highest per capita real income? The story of that transformation is told here by Singapore s charismatic, controversial founding father, Lee Kuan Yew. Rising from a legacy of divisive colonialism, the devastation of the Second World War, and general poverty and disorder following the withdrawal of foreign forces, Singapore now is hailed as a city of the future. This miraculous history is dramatically recounted by the man who not only lived through it all but who fearlessly forged ahead and brought about most of these changes. Delving deep into his own meticulous notes, as well as previously unpublished government papers and official records, Lee details the extraordinary efforts it took for an island city–state in Southeast Asia to survive at that time. Lee explains how he and his cabinet colleagues finished off the communist threat to the fledgling state s security and began the arduous process of nation building: forging basic infrastructural roads through a land that still consisted primarily of swamps, creating an army from a hitherto racially and ideologically divided population, stamping out the last vestiges of colonial–era corruption, providing mass public housing, and establishing a national airline and airport. In this illuminating account, Lee writes frankly about his trenchant approach to political opponents and his often unorthodox views on human rights, democracy, and inherited intelligence, aiming always to be correct, not politically correct. Nothing in Singapore escaped his watchful eye: whether choosing shrubs for the greening of the country, restoring the romance of the historic Raffles Hotel, or openly, unabashedly persuading young men to marry women as well educated as themselves. Today s safe, tidy Singapore bears Lee s unmistakable stamp, for which he is unapologetic: If this is a nanny state, I am proud to have fostered one. Though Lee s domestic canvas in Singapore was small, his vigor and talent assured him a larger place in world affairs. With inimitable style, he brings history to life with cogent analyses of some of the greatest strategic issues of recent times and reveals how, over the years, he navigated the shifting tides of relations among America, China, and Taiwan, acting as confidant, sounding board, and messenger for them. He also includes candid, sometimes acerbic pen portraits of his political peers, including the indomitable Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, the poetry–spouting Jiang Zemin, and ideologues George Bush and Deng Xiaoping. Lee also lifts the veil on his family life and writes tenderly of his wife and stalwart partner, Kwa Geok Choo, and of their pride in their three children –– particularly the eldest son, Hsien Loong, who is now Singapore s deputy prime minister. For more than three decades, Lee Kuan Yew has been praised and vilified in equal measure, and he has established himself as a force impossible to ignore in Asian and international politics. From Third World to First offers readers a compelling glimpse into this visionary s heart, soul, and mind.
