The global challenge to democracy in historical perspective. Â Fascism was a distinct movement in European history that left deep scars across the continent, but the term “fascist” is now more broadly applied to those on the political right, especially the new populists who have seized power across much of the globe in recent years. Although most far-right populists vocally disavow historic fascism, others see worrying parallels between them. Could we be witnessing a return to the fascist politics of Mussolini, Franco, and Hitler? This book is both an assessment of the current crisis of democracy and a brief history of fascism and far-right populism around the world. Authors Maximiliano Fuentes Codera and Javier Rodrigo hope this historical approach will help readers better understand the urgent challenges faced by our democracies.

They’re addictions so small we don’t need to say no. Most of us can identify a thing – or seven – which we don’t need to quit; but certainly do a little too much of. These little addictions don’t cost much emotionally or financially, and they only have micro-consequences on our health, wealth, relationships and home life – so what’s the big deal? The ‘snowball effect’ is the big deal. The sum total of these tiny habits can be huge. In this deeply necessary, extensively researched, and wildly empowering book, Catherine Gray shows us how to master our little addictions, freeing up peace of mind, disposable income, time, wellbeing and happiness. In Gray’s inimitable and compelling style, this book is guaranteed to make you laugh, pause, reflect, and rearrange everything you thought you knew. A little at a time, it might even change your life.

When Pamela Churchill Harriman died in 1997, the obituaries that followed were scathing – and often downright sexist. Written off as a social climber, her glamorous social life and infamous erotic adventures overshadowed her true legacy. Much of what she did behind the scenes to shape the twentieth century, on both sides of the Atlantic, remained invisible. That is, until now: with a wealth of fresh research, Sonia Purnell unveils for the first time the full, spectacular story of how Harriman left an indelible mark on the world today. There is practically no-one in twentieth-century politics, culture and fashion whose lives she did not touch.
