Hunton H: The History of Scamming ...and
how to stay safe

The History of Scamming ...and how to stay safe

Most people believe leadership begins at work.They are wrong.It begins in the smallest moments-in the plate you leave behind, in the tone you use at home, in the work you quietly avoid, in the effort you expect others to carry.This book is not about strategies, frameworks, or success formulas.It is about something far more uncomfortable.It is about the habits you don't notice...the behaviours you justify...and the cost others quietly pay for them.Through deeply observed everyday moments-from homes to offices to public spaces-this book reveals a simple but unsettling truth: Leadership is not built in moments of power.It is exposed in moments of habit.Before you lead others, you must first confront how you live among them.

How Everyday Behaviour Becomes the Way You Lead

The Conduct Gap

Winner of the 2020 Michael Jacobs Prize; shortlisted for the Eccles Centre &amp; Hay Festival Writer's Award'A treasure chest full of rare and exquisitely rendered stories' JON LEE ANDERSON'The best book you are likely to read on Cuba for ages' SPECTATORA brilliantly unconventional and riveting ride through Cuba's history, drawing on the David and Goliath dynamic of its confrontations with the US and other superpowers. It captures realities behind the fantastical, exoticised treatment Cuba often receives.Mrs Gargantua deals with towering figures - both human and non-human - and ambitions which have left their mark on Cuba, the distorted means by which the island is often presented to the outside world. From Columbus and the conquistadores, Ptolemy to Paris Hilton, Hemingway, nuclear warheads and the prison camp at Guantánamo Bay, from a nationalist sparrow 'martyred' during Cuba's independence wars to Fidel Castro's genetically modified super-cow, this non-fiction work exposes the country's status as a social and biological testing ground and resource to be mined by larger nations.The book's title comes from an account of Maria Hoyt, a US heiress who raised a gorilla in Cuba (one of the first to do so beyond Africa). Later her pet was sold to a circus in the United States where she became a celebrity: the famous 'Mrs Gargantua'. Her story is directly linked to Hoyt's predecessor in monkey and ape husbandry, the Cuban Rosalía Abreu; reputedly the richest woman in Latin America and a legendary recluse, Abreu became the first person in history - at her mansion in Havana - to breed a chimpanzee in captivity, with unexpected and far-reaching consequences.Like 'Mrs Gargantua', Cuba has been endlessly subject to the whims of the human circus that tries to tame her.The award-winning Mrs Gargantua forms an entirely original, compelling inventory of the author's twenty-year relationship with the island and its people, while also attempting to sketch Cuba's wider importance to a political understanding of the Americas, both in tangible and imaginary terms.

'Consummate and thorough' - The Times'Darkly entertaining' - The SpectatorA superbly written work of narrative non-fiction by an exciting new talent, The Anti-Catastrophe League isa brilliant study of the people and their teams who are trying to save the world.Our species has a unique genius for self-imperilment. The ancient dangers - asteroids, super-volcanoes and worse - still stalk us, but the most pressing time-bombs are of our own making. Our knack for self-imperilment, though, is one side of a coin: for we are also developing a knack for ambitious solutions.The Anti-Catastrophe League, informed by the author's experience of working in the field of what is known as existential risk, tells the story of a species that is working out how to defuse several bombs at once. From ancient risks to very modern apocalypses, the book charts the imminent dangers to the human race, and introduces readers to the groups of scientists, eccentrics, diplomats and visionaries who are trying to prevent doom.The Anti-Catastrophe League is a fascinating story of the end of the world - and what we can do about it.

An inventive new look at the entwined histories of Britain and Ireland - and the people who have called these isles home.Acclaimed author and journalist Brian Groom reveals the colourful and often-contested history of the Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans and others who have occupied these islands, along with their culture, languages and passions.Packed with surprise and insight, These Isles explores the role of religion, the British Empire, international diasporas and internal migration, gender relations and war in a nuanced and entertaining narrative.With forays into popular culture, sport, music, language, literature and art, These Isles stretches from 800,000-year-old footprints on a Norfolk beach to the changing fortunes of the early twenty-first century. It offers a uniquely rich and kaleidoscopic vision of the shared stories of people across Britain and Ireland - past and present.

Every year, nearly nine million workers leave Uttar Pradesh in search of better opportunities. What would it take for them to stay?
Drawing on migration theory, government data, and field research, this book examines Uttar Pradesh's bold effort to build a rural enterprise ecosystem that creates jobs and reduces distress migration. It introduces the STACK Model, seven institutional reform proposals, and the HUM-UP Green Mission-a long-term framework for enterprise-led growth. Blending economic analysis, public policy, and history, it traces the journey from the Girmitiya migration of Purvanchal to today's Lakhpati Didis, whose success reflects the promise of local enterprise. Looking ahead to Census 2031 as a key milestone, the book argues that the foundations for reversing migration are now in place. The journey is far from over, but for the first time, a state is creating the conditions that allow its people to choose to stay.
"For 190 years, the poor of Purvanchal left on a piece of paper called a Girmit. This book is about the generation that may finally choose not to."

Scam World

In this unique volume, 14 of the US's most distinguished writers pull back the curtain on their processes whilst drafting their works of creative nonfiction. Using side-by-side examples of first drafts and final versions of their writing, including original full-page reproductions from the writers' personal notebooks, an original, illuminating essay accompanies each draft, recounting the journey from inspiration to completion. Offering a generous insight into the creative process from the rough bold strokes to refined, clear, elegant prose, this behind-the-scenes look delves into the creative minds of working writers, including African American, Latin, Asian American, and Indigenous writers from across the US. An invaluable resource for students and instructors looking to enliven the classroom or offering practicing writers a peak into the processes of their peers, this book presents the false starts and missteps, the self-editing, tinkering, cutting, rearranging and craft working writers make in the plight for perfectly polished prose. The Art of Revising Creative Nonfiction is an enlightening and unparalleled collection of modern-day creativity in action, a must have for aspiring writers and teachers of all levels.

A Telegraph Best Book of 2025.A News Statesman Book of the Year 2025.'David Goldblatt is possibly the best football historian there has ever been'. Dominic Sandbrook'David Goldblatt is the greatest British sportswriter of the 21st century ... Injury Time is an absolute classic.' James Montague, author of The Billionaires Club and EngulfedFootball, history and the state of the nation - and why it matters.Injury Time is a sharp and thought provoking look at contemporary British society through the lens of football; a society shaken by more than a decade of economic, political and social upheaval, whose causes and consequences have proved hard to grasp.Set against the backdrop of Brexit, Covid and today's 'polycrisis' - spanning economic decline, war in Europe, political unrest and climate change - this book argues that football provides an unmatched vantage point for understanding the nation's state of affairs. From grassroots clubs battling for survival to the rise and fall of Russian oligarchs in the sport, the game's tragedies and triumphs echo the larger shifts shaping Britain.With striking examples such as Marcus Rashford's anti-hunger campaign and the uproar surrounding Gary Lineker's tweets, Injury Time underscores football's central role in public conversation. Football, Goldblatt contends, is the ultimate societal bellwether - a reflection of Britain's virtues and flaws alike.
