What starts as a data anomaly leads Jason Noble into the depths of a system built to control emotional behavior through filters, cadence suppression, and strategic reframing. Governments dont silence voices directly they index them, strip context, and reshape trauma into digestible fragments branded as civic trust.Alongside allies like Sarah Mitchell, a communications engineer turned rebel, Yuki Nakamura, who once architected the very system that now erases resistance, and Michael OBrien, whose redacted memories become the proof they need to break the loop, Jason uncovers the economic value assigned to pain.Throughout chapters like Memory as Resistance, False Equilibrium, and Witness Economy, we follow a team that confronts not just political deception, but the commodification of feeling.In the end, Noble doesnt vanish into heroism. He becomes a node for listening.

What do we mean when we talk about small groups? And more importantly: what do we expect to happen when people gather in this way?

In his irreverent and uncompromising bestseller And What Do You Do?, former Minister of State and Privy Counsellor Norman Baker laid bare what the British royal family didnt want us to know, namely its extravagant use of public money and general bad behaviour.This sensational sequel goes even deeper in its analysis of royal finances, examining where the money comes from, how it is used and what has changed with the arrival of a new king.Amongst many other things, it reveals how a family that was effectively bankrupt in 1760 is now one of the richest in the country; how they lobby governments and the media to maximise their profits from the public purse; and how they take advantage of a uniquely beneficial tax and legislative regime.Packed with details on the acceptance of dodgy donations; the appropriation of official gifts for personal use; and the exploitation of public bodies including the NHS, churches and charities, who are charged punitive rates for the use of Duchy-controlled land, this eye-opening expose also includes a chapter on Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and his money-making endeavours, including his friendships with convicted fraudsters, paedophiles and spies.Pulling no punches, this is the book the royal family really dont want you to read.

Reimagine Your Theology of Faith and Work Conversations about faith and work often miss an important truth: limitations are not a problem; theyre a key part of what it means to be human. Work has always been part of humanitys purpose, but were no longer in the perfect Garden of Eden, nor are we in the future new heavens and new earth. To truly address the challenges of work, we need a new theological perspective.In Worth Doing, David Buschart and Ryan Tafilowski embrace the realities of limitations, challenging the myths of "You are what you do" and "Do what you love." Instead, they propose a theology of work that affirms the goodness of human limits while addressing the realities of fallenness, offering hope for those who may not find deep fulfillment in their daily jobs.Buschart and Tafilowski outline a new vision of work that resonates with all workers, recognizing that every job has value, even when it doesnt align with idealized notions of purpose or calling. By embracing this perspective, people can find new ways to approach daily labor, even when it doesnt feel deeply fulfilling.In Worth Doing, readers will: Gain a theology of work that moves beyond only ideas of productivity or calling. Learn how to embrace human limitations as part of Gods good design. Reflect on the ways work connects to broader questions of purpose and human flourishing. Worth Doing invites readers to consider their limitations as valuable aspects of their vocational journey, offering a thoughtful framework for addressing the complexities of work. This book is particularly relevant for theologians examining the intersections of work, faith, and rest; Christian educators; and leaders in the faith and work space. By moving beyond conventional theological approaches to faith and work, Worth Doing presents a hopeful and theologically rich perspective on vocation that acknowledges and embraces human limitations.

The tradition of the two-door luxury car began early in the history of the Rolls-Royce and Bentley marques. In the 1950s, its most famous realisation was the Bentley Continental, but that name was not revived when the new generation of monocoque models arrived in the mid-1960s. Instead, there were near-identical Rolls-Royce and Bentley variants of a stunningly attractive two-door design that came as either a saloon or a drophead coupe.From 1971, the range gained a clearer identity of its own as the Corniche, with a larger and more powerful 6.75-litre V8 engine. The Corniche remained in production for nearly a quarter of a century, during which time it quite literally stood alone as a symbol of wealth and as the epitome of luxury motoring.The drophead models were always the stronger sellers, and Rolls-Royce drew up plans for a new two-door luxury car to replace the Corniche saloons. In practice, the 1975 Camargue would establish its own market, and the closed Corniche stayed in production until 1980. The Camargue was both glamorous and rare, but it had a quite unmistakable presence and gained its own fame as the worlds most expensive production car.This book tells the full story of these iconic ranges, and will be essential reading for owners and admirers of the immortal Corniche and the controversial Camargue.
