Sir Jameson. Commander Adams. Bill. The Mate. You wont have heard of him yet, in those curious ways history has of connecting us all, chances are you have benefited in some way from the remarkable things he did in his extraordinary life. To tell the story of Jameson Adams is to tell the story of twentieth-century Britain adventure and exploration, politics and war, poverty and opportunity, employment and health. After running away to sea as a teenager, he worked his way up through the Navy to play a pivotal role in defending the British coast. In 1907, he was chosen by Shackleton himself to be the Nimrod Expeditions second-in-command, venturing further into the Antarctic than anyone had gone before. Prime Minister Lloyd George personally selected Adams to transform the struggling Munitions Department during the First World War, while his 25-year career with the Ministry of Labour alongside Churchill and Beveridge laid the foundations for the Welfare State. This is a story of adventure and adversity; of courage, care and compassion; of the belief in a better future for everyone and of always believing in humanity and hope Autorid: H J Dawson, Mark Cornell

In this ground-breaking book, Dr. Harold Levinson, a renowned psychiatrist and clinical researcher, provides his long-awaited follow-up work about truly understanding and successfully treating children and adults with many and diverse dyslexia-related disorders such as those found on the cover. This fascinating, life-changing title is primarily about helping children who suffer from varied combinations and severities of previously unexplained inner-ear-determined symptoms resulting in difficulties with: reading, writing, spelling, math, memory, speech, sense of direction and time grammar, concentration/activity-level, balance and coordination headaches, nausea, dizziness, ringing ears, and motion-sickness frustration levels and feeling dumb, ugly, klutzy, phobic, and depressed impulsivity, cutting class, dropping out of school, and substance abuse bullying and being bullied as well as anger and social interactions later becoming emotionally traumatized and scarred dysfunctional adults Feeling Smarter and Smarter is thus also about and for the millions of frus-trated and failing adults who are often overwhelmed by similar and even more complicated symptoms¿as well as for their dedicated healers. Having laid the initial foundations for his many current insights in an earlier bestseller, Smart But Feeling Dumb, Dr. Levinson now presents a compelling range of enlightening new cases and data as well as a large number of highly original discoveries¿such as his challenging illumination that all dyslexia-related manifestations are primarily inner-ear or cerebellar-vestibular¿not cerebrally¿determined and so do not impair IQ, and an ¿ingeniously simple¿ explanatory theory of symptom formation. Most important, all the dyslexia/inner-ear based impairments and their symptoms were discovered by Dr. Levinson to respond rapidly and often ¿mi-raculously¿ in 75 to 85 percent of cases when treated with simple and safe inner-ear enhancing medications¿thus enabling bright but dumb-feeling children and adults to feel¿ smarter and smarter.

The ultimate guide to everyday sabotage, designed by spies to grind fascism to a halt.Arm yourself with knowledge and strategic incompetence! History proves that the most successful resistance comes from within. Once a covert tool against oppressive regimes, The Simple Sabotage Field Manual is set to inspire a new generation of Americans to fight fascism—at home and abroad. This declassified guide written by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II teaches ordinary citizens to discreetly disrupt enemy operations. How? By leaning into laziness, embracing red tape, whispering misinformation, and being proficient at inefficiency. With democracy teetering on the brink, this manual’s tactics are eerily relevant to the modern era. Its advice on causing bureaucratic slowdowns, creating wasteful work habits, and stymying others’ productivity will appeal to anyone who’s overwhelmed by world politics and itching to take up the fight. It includes helpful tips like these: “Insist on doing everything through ‘channels.’ Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.” “Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.” “‘Misunderstand’ orders. Ask endless questions or engage in long correspondence about such orders. Quibble over them when you can.” Discover how small, everyday disruptions can throw a wrench into the gears of authoritarian overreach, and change the world one befuddled shrug at a time.
