Advertising: What Everyone Needs to Know®
3000. That’s the number of marketing messages the average American confronts on a daily basis from TV commercials, magazine and newspaper print ads, radio commercials, pop-up ads on gaming apps, pre-roll ads on YouTube videos, and native advertising on mobile news apps. These commercial messages are so pervasive that we cannot help but be affected by perpetual come-ons to keeping buying. Over the last decade, advertising has become more devious, more digital, and more deceptive, with an increasing number of ads designed to appear to the untrained eye to be editorial content. It’s easy to see why. As we have become smarter at avoiding ads, advertisers have become smarter about disguising them.Mara Einstein exposes how our shopping, political, and even dating preferences are unwittingly formed by brand images and the mythologies embedded in them. Advertising: What Everyone Needs to Know® helps us combat the effects of manipulative advertising and enables the reader to understand how marketing industries work in the digital age, particularly in their uses and abuses of “Big Data.’ Most importantly, it awakens us to advertising’s subtle and not-so-subtle impact on our lives–both as individuals and as a global society. What ideas and information are being communicated to us–and to what end?

Against the Witchy Tide (A Witch on the Rocks Cozy Mystery Book 6)
Hali Waverly is gearing up for a big change. The hip surgery she’s been dreading is only two weeks out, and that means it’s time to get things in order before she’s down for the count to recuperate. She has a plan….and then the unthinkable happens.
When leaving the doctor after scheduling surgery, a bank robbery suspect crosses Hali’s path. When his mask is removed, her boyfriend Gray Hunter recognizes him as a fellow shifter, and the questions only grow from there.
It seems there are a lot of strange shifters hanging around St. Pete Beach, and they don’t belong to the same faction. The one spot they agree to meet is Hali’s tiki bar…and sparks—and fur—are about to fly.
Hali doesn’t want to get involved in pack politics, but she might not have a choice. For Gray, who turned his back on the pack years ago, the appearance of warring factions on his turf means bad things are about to happen. He has no choice but to stand up and fight, however.
Hali knows what she wants for her future. Unfortunately for her, she’s going to have to go to war to get it. This fight—so many claws and teeth to contend with—might be out of her reach.
That won’t stop her from fighting…even to the death.Read more

Agatha Christie: The Sunday Times Bestseller
‘A smart and highly entertaining portrait of a literary powerhouse’
– THE TIMES BOOKS OF THE YEAR‘A riveting portrait’
– GUARDIAN BOOKS OF THE YEAR***
‘Worsley’s sparkling biography brings a fresh eye to Christie’s life and work, firmly busting the myth that she, or her novels, were cosy.’ Daily Mail‘Every Christie fan should read this’ – The Times
‘Shows the Queen of Crime in a new light.’ – Daily Telegraph
‘Worsley’s book excels in bringing a broader historical perspective to Christie’s life and work, and her enthusiasm is infectious.’ – Observer
‘Nobody in the world was more inadequate to act the heroine than I was.’
Why did Agatha Christie spend her career pretending that she was ‘just’ an ordinary housewife, when clearly she wasn’t? As Lucy Worsley says, ‘She was thrillingly, scintillatingly modern’. She went surfing in Hawaii, she loved fast cars, and she was intrigued by the new science of psychology, which helped her through devastating mental illness.
So why – despite all the evidence to the contrary – did Agatha present herself as a retiring Edwardian lady of leisure?
She was born in 1890 into a world which had its own rules about what women could and couldn’t do. Lucy Worsley’s biography is not just of an internationally renowned bestselling writer. It’s also the story of a person who, despite the obstacles of class and gender, became an astonishingly successful working woman.With access to personal letters and papers that have rarely been seen, Lucy Worsley’s biography is both authoritative and entertaining and makes us realise what an extraordinary pioneer Agatha Christie was – truly a woman who wrote the twentieth century.

Aggressor: (Nick Stone Thriller 8)
The Number One Bestselling Thriller from Britain’s original SAS hero.
‘A rollercoaster ride’ Guardian
________Ex-deniable operator Nick Stone seems to be living his dream, not a care in the world as he steers his camper van round the surfing and parachuting paradise of Australia, a board on the roof, a freefall rig behind him, and a beautiful young backpacker at his side.
But when he sees a news report of the massacre of women and children in a terrorist outrage the other side of the world, long-suppressed memories are triggered, and Nick knows he must risk everything to repay a longstanding debt of friendship.
As events unfold in the bleak, medieval villages of Georgia and teeming streets of modern Istanbul, Nick finds himself catapulted once more into the murky, clandestine world he thought he’d left behind – a world in the grip of nameless enemies who linger in the shadows, and stalk the corridors of power…
Hurtled at breakneck pace through a deadly landscape of greed, violence and ever-shifting allegiances, the reader will be left in no doubt that McNab is the master of the genre – and Aggressor shows McNab at his searing, blockbusting best.

Alive Today: How Speaking Out Saved My Life and Helped Me Navigate My Mental Health Journey
In Alive Today: How Speaking Out Saved My Life and Helped Me Navigate My Mental Health Journey, author Naushad Qayyum takes readers on a deeply intimate journey through the profound challenges of grief, loss, and mental health struggles while emphasising the transformative power of open dialogue.
The book unfolds with the surreal and tragic events of the author’s wedding day, marked by the sudden collapse and death of his father. As the story evolves, readers witness the author’s emotional rollercoaster, navigating the aftermath of loss, divorce, and a contemplation of suicide, which ultimately leads to a diagnosis of complex PTSD. Through candid reflections, the book sheds light on the societal expectations placed on men, challenging stereotypes and advocating for the importance of mental health conversations.
At its heart, Alive Today is a poignant exploration of resilience, recovery, and the author’s determination to break the silence surrounding men’s mental health. Each chapter delves into different facets of the author’s journey, from the transformative impact of a father’s guidance to the depths of despair and eventual path to healing. The book is not only a personal account, but also a call to action, as the author takes proactive steps to address the lack of mental health support for men, particularly within the Arab and South Asian communities. A follow-up book that examines even more deeply this important topic is currently being planned and will appear in 2024.
With a focus on nature, routine, and holistic well-being, Alive Today offers insights into the ongoing process of recovery and the author’s commitment to raising awareness and breaking the stigma surrounding men’s mental health. Alive Today is much more than a memoir; it is a heartfelt invitation for readers to confront their own struggles, seek help, and foster a community of understanding and empathy.
