Mary J: The Junior Headmaster's Daughter

The Junior Headmaster's Daughter

Stepping from the shadows of sexual assault on the journey to recovery

'Utterly gripping, enraging, entertaining - and important. I can't recommend it highly enough' Jennifer Higgie In 1958, talented and fearless and eighteen years old, Liliane Lijn left her family home and moved to Paris alone to become an artist. Once there, she found an art world filled with the wild energy of creative revolution - peopled and controlled almost entirely by men. Embracing the bohemian spirit of the Left Bank, Lijn built a life for herself in the city, befriending artists, poets and revolutionaries and creating ground-breaking sculptures with light, text and movement, despite being told again and again that there are no great women artists. Liquid Reflections is her sparkling memoir of these years of experiment and adventure. Based on personal diaries from the time, this is a riveting and revelatory portrait of the artist as a young woman. 'A whirlwind of encounters . . . a pioneer in melding art, poetry and science' Art Basel

A Year with the West Country Hedgelayer

Of Thorn & Briar

Passion and Power is about the life and career of Harriet Newman Cohen, one of the nation's most celebrated divorce attorneys, as she navigated the male-dominated legal world from the 1970s to today. This sweeping narrative details Harriet's journey through three worlds: raising a family at a time when men held all the power, graduating from law school on the cusp of the "divorce revolution," and re-fighting old battles over women's rights in today's time of reaction of retrenchment. The frankness with which Harriet relates her own experience is matched by equally candid insights into how a legal system that often rewards bad behavior and irrational decision-making shapes the culture at large and impacts those trying to navigate their way towards a better life. Writing with candor and humor, Harriet describes her encounters with celebrities, mentors, notable judges, allies, and adversaries. She examines many cases but describes three in almost novelistic detail, all drawn from her own practice-including her pivotal role in the "Case of a Lifetime," the focus of the three-part documentary HBO series Nuclear Family (2021). Harriet is equally honest about the business side of the law-the financial cost and psychological burden these proceedings impose on families and the sometimes-heartbreaking collateral damage. Passion and Power illuminates both a singular life and the legal and social revolution that changed, in fundamental ways, the sexual, financial, and cultural norms governing the most intimate relations between men and women.

A Life in Three Worlds

Passion and Power

Enemies Within Us

Women in Authority and the Hidden Abuse of Power
Power is built on trust.
Teachers guide students.
Supervisors manage employees.
Correctional officers control prison environments.
Public officials hold authority over institutions and the people who depend on them.
But what happens when the person holding that power crosses the line?
In When Power Seduces, investigative author Wayne C. Robinson examines a series of real cases in which women in positions of authority formed inappropriate relationships with those under their supervision. From classrooms and correctional facilities to workplaces and public institutions, these stories reveal how authority, trust, and access can create opportunities for boundary violations that often go unnoticed-until a scandal erupts.
Drawing from court records, investigative reporting, and psychological research, this book explores a pattern rarely examined in depth: how power dynamics influence relationships when the authority figure is female and the subordinate is male.
Inside this investigation, readers will discover:
¿ Real cases involving teachers, correctional officers, and supervisors who crossed professional boundaries
¿ The psychological patterns that appear in many authority abuse cases
¿ How private communication and secrecy often allow relationships to develop unnoticed
¿ Why institutions sometimes fail to detect warning signs until misconduct becomes public
¿ How courts and disciplinary boards handle cases involving abuse of authority
The public reaction to these scandals often reveals a deeper social contradiction. In some cases, the young men involved initially describe the experience as flattering or exciting. In others, the long-term impact only becomes clear years later.
When Power Seduces does not rely on speculation or sensationalism. Instead, it investigates the intersection of power, psychology, and institutional responsibility to better understand how these situations develop-and why society often struggles to interpret them.
Provocative, thought-provoking, and grounded in documented cases, When Power Seduces challenges readers to examine the uncomfortable reality that abuse of authority can take many forms-and can emerge in places where trust is supposed to be strongest.

In a career that has seen him face coup leaders in his native Ivory Coast and lead some of the most prestigious Western financial institutions, Tidjane Thiam has blazed a trail through African and European politics and business.In a career that has seen him face coup leaders in his native Ivory Coast and lead some of the most prestigious Western financial institutions, Tidjane Thiam has blazed a trail through African and European politics and business.After a childhood in tumultuous west and north Africa, Thiam broke barriers in the elitist world of French higher education, becoming one of the first black consultants at McKinsey and Company before entering the Ivorian government. After a coup forced him into exile, he joined the world of finance, where his rise saw him named as CEO of Prudential in London and Credit Suisse in Zurich. Along the way, he was trained and supported by many both in the public and private sector who made his many achievements as a leader possible. However, his rise to prominence as the only African, black and Muslim boss of large Western corporations was also accompanied with disproportionate public and media scrutiny, as well as racism and xenophobia.A blend of autobiography, business, politics, and personal philosophy, his book offers a unique vantage point on corporate and political life in Africa, Europe, the United States and Asia. In a story that spans from his father's politically motivated imprisonment to the business principles that took Thiam to the top of global finance, he shares a personal and professional story that is equal parts inspirational and aspirational.

A Memoir

Without Prejudice

'A fascinating journey that illuminates, in often thought-provoking ways, the politics of violence in radical movements' Angela Davis The son of the FBI's most wanted woman tells the electrifying, heart-rending story of a childhood on the run - and a half-century of revolutionary struggle in America We all grapple with a past that defines us: culture, religion, a family story. But what happens when you inherit a revolution? Zayd Ayers Dohrn was born underground. His parents were fugitives after a decade fighting the US government; his mother co-founded a leftist radical group called the Weathermen, and replaced Angela Davis on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List. All his life, Dohrn's parents said his birth marked a clean break with violent revolutionary struggle but, in this explosive memoir, he discovers that story wasn't entirely true. A masterpiece of personal and social history, Dangerous, Dirty, Violent and Young offers a page-turning account of an infamous family and their life in hiding, as well as the political battles of the '60s and '70s. At its heart it asks big questions: how can a child survive when the place they feel safest - with their family - also puts them in danger? What does it mean to be a good revolutionary, and how should young people today try to change the world?

My Fugitive Family in the Revolutionary Underground

Dangerous, Dirty, Violent and Young

'Bojan Pancevski verbindet investigativen Spürsinn mit geopolitischem Weitblick und beleuchtet nicht nur, wie die Nord-Stream-Pipelines zerstört wurden, sondern auch, warum sie für Europas Energieversorgung, Sicherheit und politische Zukunft von so großer Bedeutung sind. Ein echter Pageturner.' -Peter Frankopan, Autor des SPIEGEL-Bestsellers 'Licht aus dem Osten'Basierend auf langjähriger Recherche und dem Zugang zu Saboteuren und Vermittlern, deren Vorgesetzten sowie hochrangigen Geheimdienstvertretern wie den Chefs von CIA und BND rekonstruiert der preisgekrönte Wall-Street-Journal-Autor erstmals die gesamte Geheimoperation, ihre politischen Hintergründe und ihre Auswirkungen.Für diesen geopolitischen Thriller aus dem wirklichen Leben hat der Pulitzer-Finalist über drei Jahre hinweg mit ukrainischen Attentätern, russischen Geheimdienstgenerälen, US-Masterspionen und deutschen Chefermittlern gesprochen. Er interviewte Staats- und Regierungschefs sowie Topbeamte, die im Schatten ihren Einfluss ausüben.Er verfolgte die Spur bis ins Kanzleramt, ins Weiße Haus, in den Kreml und hinter die Stahlbetonwände des 'Aquariums', wie der Sitz der berüchtigten GRU genannt wird.Schließlich verbrachte er mehrere Monate in der Ukraine, wo er etwa ein Dutzend Mitglieder einer Eliteeinheit aus Spezialkommandos und Geheimdienstlern kennenlernte. Gemeinsam mit einer kleinen Gruppe ziviler Tiefseetaucher planten und führten sie die Nord-Stream-Sprengung durch.Die komplexe Verschwörung wurde dank einer simplen deutschen Radarfalle und einer handelsüblichen Gesichtserkennungssoftware aufgedeckt.Dieses Buch erzählt erstmals die kinoreifen Geschichten der Täter und Ermittler. Zusammen ergibt sich daraus ein geopolitischer Thriller, ein Spiel mit schwindelerregend hohen Einsätzen.Wie der Zuschauer eines Pokerspiels mit hohem Einsatz hatte der Autor das seltene Privileg, beiden Seiten über die Schulter und in die Karten schauen zu können, bevor sie diese ausspielten.Eine hochexplosive Geschichte über Himmelfahrtskommandos, wirtschaftliche Abhängigkeiten, Souveränitätsverletzungen, menschlichen Wagemut und politische Verantwortung - und über den Moment, in dem der Krieg Deutschland erreicht 'So gewagt und fesselnd wie die Sabotage selbst, überzeugt das Buch in seinen Details durch faktenreiche Präzision.' -Ivan Krastev, Politologe und Autor von Das Licht, das erlosch 'Mit dem scharfen Blick eines Journalisten für Details und dem Gespür eines Filmregisseurs für Tempo erzählt Bojan Pancevski eine Geschichte, die man nicht aus der Hand legen will.' -Fiona Hill, ehemalige Russlandberaterin im Nationalen Sicherheitsrat der USA

Die Nord-Stream-Sprengung. Die wahre Geschichte der Sabotage, die Europa erschütterte

The Many Lives of Edna Wallace Hopper

The Eternal Flapper

In 1949, soon after the arrival of communism, David Kidd's Chinese fiancée, the daughter of an ancient Mandarin family, telephoned to say that her father was dying and that they must marry immediately.
At first the couple were able to continue their privileged lifestyle, a remnant of an old and exquisite culture. But the new proletariat was rapidly suppressing the ancient traditions. Spies watched them from the roof, then confiscated their sets of mahjong; an aunt was sent on a mission to re-educate prostitutes; and the family's final magnificent party was invaded by the police. Eventually their entire way of life, and the thousand- year-old culture on which it was based, was destroyed by the totalitarian regime.
