The leading authority on our contemporary prime ministers Dominic Grieve, GuardianAfter almost a decade and a half of Tory rule, the 2024 General Election saw the Conservatives suffer their worst-ever defeat: they received 7.14 million fewer votes than in 2019; 23.7 per cent is their lowest ever vote share; and their current 121 MP contingent is their smallest since 1832. Meanwhile, the rise of Reform threatens the partys very existence.How did it all go wrong so quickly, following Boris Johnsons record-setting win in 2019?From taking office amidst the cost of living and energy supply crises and the panic caused by Liz Trusss disastrous mini-budget, through the agenda-dominating Ukraine and Gaza wars and the Rwanda Asylum Plan, to the stunning 2023 local election results, Sunak at 10 is the definitive and jaw-dropping window into Rishi Sunaks premiership.

What is power, and what is the crowd? How do the two relate to each other? Crowds and Power is a striking and unclassifiable study of how human beings behave in groups and how collective forces shape history. Rejecting conventional sociology, 1981 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate Elias Canetti creates a unique framework that draws on anthropology, mythology, psychology, history, psychoanalysis and literature to explain why crowds form, how they act and what makes them so powerful. Drawing on his experiences in Vienna in the 1930s and a range of material spanning centuries and every continent, Canetti offers insights into the psychology of the crowd, the variety of religious experience, the paranoia of rulers and the pathology of power. A visionary and provocative book, Crowds and Power is a major work illuminating the forces driving mass movements and offers one of the most profound and startling portraits of the human condition ever written.

As a young writer of blazing promise, Felix Hartlaub went missing in the final days of the Second World War, leaving behind diaries, notes and incomplete drafts that provide a singularly evocative portrait of life during the war.From 1941, Hartlaub was posted in various Nazi military command headquarters, a historian tasked with writing the Wehrmachts official record of the war. In private, he wrote the disaffected, ruthlessly clear-eyed and often beautiful fragments that make up Notes from Fuhrer HQ, now translated into English for the first time by the acclaimed Michael Hofmann.Moving from a strangely bucolic barracks in Ukraine to tense bureaucratic headquarters on the Eastern Front to the bizarre, seedy micro-climate of a command train, these dispatches conjure the absurdity and turmoil of life within Hitlers war machine through the eyes of a remarkably perceptive, disabused observer.

How We Misread the Bible When Women Are Left Out Ignore them, vilify them, or treat them as isolated cameosthese have been common approaches to Christian teaching about the women in the Bible. As a result, we not only miss the significance of women in the biblical narrative but also misunderstand important questions in the text more broadly. Scholar Sandra Glahn argues that we need to rightly recognize the nature of biblical narrative by seeing the women in the stories as essential.In A Womans Place Is in the Story, Glahn models how we can better read stories in their literary context and understand why the original authors included what they did. She reexamines both well-known and neglected passages, such as Tamar and Judah, the Hebrew midwives, Abigail, and the Samaritan woman at the well. Even when they seem to be minor characters, biblical women are key to moving the plot forward and revealing truths about God.In this book, youll explore how leaving women out of the biblical story changes the plot and meaning that was intended, how distorting women as they appear in the biblical story affects the way we view women in general, and how misunderstanding how women appear in the story affects the way we view God. Women have always been part of the whole story of God. With A Womans Place Is in the Story, discover how rightly seeing women in the biblical narrative leads to more faithful interpretation and application for the benefit of all Gods people.Its time to tell the whole story.
