From the mindset you move with, to the habits you create, and the tools you carry—learn how to stay sharp, stay ready, and stay safe in every aspect of your daily life!Dannah Eve has always been street smart, and for the past several years, she has been sharing her advice, self-defense strategies, and safety tips with millions of engaged social media followers. With the encouraging tone of a savvy older sister, she has built a platform that teaches women how to think like a threat—mastering situational awareness, calculated deception, and the art of always being ready. This is survival on your terms. These are just a few of the rules she lives by: <ul><li>Lie to survive: You don’t owe a stranger your truth. Especially if it compromises your safety.</li><li>On a date: Don’t rush to share your personal details—a Tinder match is not yet a trusted person.</li><li>Living alone: Keep a pair of men’s shoes by the door; you’ll be a less-obvious target.</li><li>While commuting: Never leave any personal information visible—such as your workplace ID, nametag, or packages showing your address.</li><li>On vacation: Walk with confidence and a strong stride; a distracted person is an easy target.</li><li>While driving: Never pull over for an unmarked vehicle; anyone can order police sirens and flashing lights online.</li><li>At school: Research and use the available campus shuttles and safety services.</li><li>Online: Phishing emails, fake texts, scare tactics—don’t bite, don’t click. If it’s “urgent” or too good to be true, it’s probably a scam.</li><li>At a concert or other public place: Plan your exit strategy before you need it.</li></ul>In an unpredictable and often frightening world, Dannah Eve shows you how to weaponize your intuition—and back it up with real-world safety tactics that actually work. Because when you build confidence, you operate with authority—and that ripple effect can protect more than just you.&nbsp;

Trust Your Instincts, Outsmart Danger, and Stay Safe in a World That Isn’t

Street Smarts

THE WINNER OF THE 2024 ROBINSON NEW VOICES AWARD Anyone who has experienced bullying, coercive control or narcissistic abuse may know what it is like to be fearful, anxious, angry, confused, guilt-ridden, grief-stricken, self-doubting and so much more. It can feel like a tsunami engulfing the mind and body - and the subsequent pain is very real. This minefield of sensations, thoughts, urges and feelings can feel impossible to navigate. This book offers you a road map and provides the skills and tools you need to see the path ahead more clearly. Using evidence-based and trauma-focused acceptance and commitment therapy, you will be guided through the FOG of your&nbsp;fears&nbsp;and feelings of&nbsp;obligation&nbsp;and&nbsp;guilt, so that you can focus on living the life you value. This book is relevant not just for people who have been in intimate romantic relationships with individuals who have narcissistic traits but also for anyone who has experienced narcissistic abuse at the hands of a child, sibling, other family member, work colleague or friend.

<div>This book provides a comprehensive overview of police governance in England and Wales. This volume (II) covers reform and development of tripartite governance from 1979-2025. Volume I starts from the Anglo Saxon period. These volumes analyse the key mechanisms and procedures that have sought to provide for the control and accountability of police organisations to external bodies and the means through which the conduct and work performed by police personnel is regulated internally. They discuss and evaluate the key debates and developments that have underpinned changes to police governance and the social, economic and political context within which these have emerged. They bring together a wide variety of material that relates to historical and contemporary aspects of policing. They draw upon primary (as well as secondary) source material including the use of historical documents for the early chapters. They speak to students taking courses in criminology and criminal justice studies and also those specialising in policing and to practitioners.</div>

Reform and Development of Tripartite Governance 1979–2025

Governance of the Police in England and Wales, Volume II

'Has the power to change the way you look at the world' Steven Bartlett'The heir to Oliver Sacks' David BaddielA FINANCIAL TIMESBEST BOOK OF 2024AN INDEPENDENTBOOK OF THE MONTHGluttony. Greed. Sloth. Pride. Envy. Lust. Anger.These are the seven deadly sins, the vices of humankind that define immorality, the roots of all evil in the world. Or so some believe.But do these sins really represent moral failings, or are they simply human functions that aid us? Are they just the result of how our bodies, psyches, and brains in particular, are wired?This new book by Dr Guy Leschziner, a professor of neurology and sleep medicine, explores the underlying nature of the seven deadly sins, their neuroscientific and psychological basis, their origin in our genes and crucially how certain medical disorders give rise to them.Drawing on his clinical practice, we meet individuals whose physical and psychological conditions have given rise to these sins, where brain injury or other experiences have sparked 'immoral' actions. He explores how illness can simply expose what lies within us and investigates how the origins of these traits lie in evolutionary imperatives to preserve the wellbeing of the tribe. Perhaps, he suggests, these character traits are less of a moral question and more biological, which raises fundamental issues of responsibility and blame in the face of 'sin'.Combining cutting-edge science placed in the context of real-life experience with patients, the book reexamines where the boundaries between normal human nature, pathology and sin are drawn. And, most importantly, whether these hard-wired traits truly represent sin, or simply the intensity of our intrinsic desire to survive and thrive.

Seven Deadly Sins

“Darkly addictive with a blistering pace and puzzle-box structure” —Katy Hays, New York Times bestselling author of The Cloisters A page-turning suspense debut about a woman infamous for escaping a cult as a teenager, who finds her future threatened when dangerous secrets come back to haunt her—perfect for fans of Jessica Knoll and&nbsp;The Girls.Everybody knows the story. Nobody knows the truth…Lucy Golden is a true-crime icon, infamous for the murder she committed while escaping a California cult twenty years ago. But as everyone in Los Angeles knows, fame is fleeting, and Lucy and her story are always just one news cycle away from obscurity. Not to mention, she’s fending off a stalker and moderating an icy feud between her acclaimed photographer mother and her scandalous rock star sister. Worst of all, online trolls are asking increasingly threatening questions about the legendary crime. Questions that could tear her life apart.So when a hotshot documentarian makes her case the subject of his next film, Lucy sees a chance to silence any doubters once and for all. But as filming begins, she must return to the California desert and come face-to-face with a cast of players from her torrid history. Of course, the past is never what it seems, and long-buried secrets soon collide with present-day threats. Can Lucy stop her critics from digging up the truth before it’s too late? And how far will she go to protect the story she’s been telling—and selling—all along?Told in a narrative split between the present day and Lucy’s hit memoir about her fated summer in the cult,&nbsp;Paper Cut&nbsp;combines psychological suspense with coming-of-age Californian cult noir and a sharp examination of the true-crime phenomenon. As incisive as it is propulsive, this mesmerizing debut will keep readers hooked until the last page.

Paper Cut

This book offers a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to understanding and preventing police misconduct in the twenty-first century. Drawing on empirical research across multiple jurisdictions, it explores how our understanding of police misconduct has evolved over time, tracing the changing view of how misconduct emerges, evolves, and persists within law enforcement organisations. Through detailed analyses of stress, typologies, disciplinary systems, prediction and early intervention, it demonstrates how misconduct can, at times, be identified and either managed or disrupted before escalating into crisis. Integrating perspectives on more advanced analytical methods, including machine learning, network analytics, life-course and longitudinal approaches, this book bridges theory, data, and practice to consider structural and behavioural roots of deviance among police. Rather than treating misconduct solely as an individual failing, it presents misconduct as a systemic challenge that demands holistic, data-driven reform. Combining an understanding of historical research with applied modern insights, it is important reading for policing professionals and researchers seeking to understand and build transparent and ethically resilient interventions for police misconduct.

Evidence-Based Detection, Management and Prevention of Police Misconduct

This is the first academic research about the historiography of China film history. The author spent several years in depth reading of relevant documents, in order to reveal the reasons through the complicated phenomena. Readers in the field of film study, whether beginners or senior researchers, can learn about the development of China film history in the past forty years. The writing method of the book is unique. Different from the linear mode of general academic history writing, it observes the historiography of China film history from different aspects, such as the historical concept, the research paradigms, the writing methods, and the oral history of film.

A History of Chinese Film Historiography (1978–2019)

Eine Rivalität, die künstlerische Meisterwerke hervorbrachte. Umfassend bebildert, betrachtet die Publikation die Beziehung der beiden Ikonen der österreichischen Kunstszene, Oskar Kokoschka und Egon Schiele. Die Jungstars waren Rivalen und begnadete Netzwerker, ihr Wettlauf um Erfolg und Anerkennung öffnet ein bisher ungeschriebenes Kapitel der Moderne.

 

Oskar Kokoschka und Egon Schiele sind die Lichtgestalten der Moderne in Österreich. Das Frühwerk der Künstler begründete den österreichischen Expressionismus, ihre Rivalität ist ebenso einzigartig wie ihre Netzwerke. Als Egon Schiele 1918 gerade 28-jährig starb und sein Versuch einer Annäherung an Kokoschka gescheitert war, hatte der Ältere noch sechs Lebensjahrzehnte vor sich, die er als international gefeierter Künstler verbringen durfte. Den Schatten Schieles wurde er aber nicht los – im Gegenteil. Anhand vielfältiger Werkreproduktionen und historischer Dokumente beschreibt der Band detailliert die Fehde, die diese beiden Ausnahmetalente ausfochten.

The Shadow Carver

Perfect for fans of Don't Let the Forest In and Wuthering Heights, this gothic horror novel is about the pasts that haunt us and the stories we decide to make for ourselves.&nbsp; There’s nowhere Catie East would rather be than the redwood forest that surrounds her family’s unusual historic home, the Heights.&nbsp; She prefers being alone in the forest. People are ... complicated. But when a scientist and his son move into the estate’s cottage, planning to study the woods around them, the boy catches Catie’s eye. And when a dead woodpecker miraculously comes back to life in his precious hands ... he captures her heart. Necromancy isn’t the only strange thing happening in the Heights.There’s an unfamiliar face in the mirror. Blood on the floors. Eyes in the wallpaper. And the men around her—including her once-sweet nature boy—are becoming something else. Something possessive and frightening. Something violent. As the Heights’s dark history starts to come to light, Catie discovers that the home she loves is imbued with pain. And even though the pain isn’t her own, it will corrupt her and the people around her all the same—unless she can stop it. A story about breaking cycles of abuse and overcoming generational trauma, May the Dead Keep You is an edge-of-your-seat read—equally horrifying, heart-wrenching, and hopeful.
