The Abuse of Power - Theresa May - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

The Abuse of Power - Theresa May - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

As Prime Minister for three years and Home Secretary for six years, Theresa May confronted a series of issues in which the abuse of power led to devastating results for individuals and significantly damaged the reputation of, and trust in, public institutions and politicians. From the Hillsborough and Grenfell tragedies, to the Daniel Morgan case and parliamentary scandals, the powerful repeatedly chose to use their power not in the interests of the powerless but to serve themselves or to protect the organisation to which they belonged. The Abuse of Power is a searing exposé of injustice and an impassioned call to exercise power for the greater good. Drawing on examples from domestic and international affairs she was personally involved in at the highest level, including Stop and Search and the Salisbury Poisonings, the former prime minister argues for a radical rethink in how we approach our politics and public life.

The menopause is a time of change, of unexpected health challenges, of rollercoaster emotions and unprecedented shifts in how we feel physically and emotionally. But we can emerge wiser than before, and stronger than we know. The decade after the average menopause transition, from our 50s to 60s, is the most important for a woman's health.

Power to the People - Danny Sriskandarajah - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

Power to the People - Danny Sriskandarajah - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

Power to the People addresses growing voter apathy and disenchantment worldwide - that familiar sense that governments have become decoupled from their constituencies, that votes no longer count, and that politicians and institutions are too focused on short-term issues to grapple with complex global issues such as climate change and rising inequality.The book is structured into two halves, the first half diagnosing problems and the second half proposing solutions . Danny urges readers to make a positive difference through engagement and active citizenry. He calls for reform of outdated Bretton Woods organisations such as the IMF and World Bank, and for greater use of citizens'' assemblies. The proposal contains some fascinating examples of citizen power in action such as Avaaz''s campaign to take down a notoriously corrupt politician in Brazil.From public ownership of social media spaces to democratising share ownership, and from re-energising co-operatives to creating a people''s chamber at the United Nations, this campaigning book has a clear mission to make us reclaim our power as citizens of the world.

The Power Decade - Susan Saunders - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

The menopause for many women is a daunting time of change, of unexpected health challenges, of rollercoaster emotions and unprecedented shifts in how we feel physically and emotionally. But we emerge wiser than before, and stronger than we know. For many, the years immediately post-menopause bring other seismic changes too - empty nests, re-evaluated careers, losses and gains as individual as we are. The decade that takes us from our early 50s to early 60s is a time for us to take stock, to power ahead, to decide who we are and how we want to live as we face the future. And the foundation for that, whatever those decisions might be? Our health, physical and mental. The years immediately after the menopause are the most important for a woman's health: the actions we take now will shape and define the rest of our lives. At the same time, we're dealing with everything from falling hormone levels to weakening bones: add in a pervading feeling that we've lost identity and we have a toxic environment in which to grow older. But this is the time to step away from the prevailing narrative of failing faculties and oncoming illness and instead power up to make the changes which will define how we age. From now, for the rest of our lives... Susan talks to experts about all areas of a woman's life and looks at: What's happening in your body post-menopause. What is good nutrition post-menopause? How to exercise post-menopause How to get your mindset on track to create your Power Decade How to get motivated for the best possible health Also included is a practical plan that lays out daily small habits which can have a huge impact - through meals, movement, mindset and motivation - to power through the post-menopausal decade.

Power to the People - Danny Sriskandarajah - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

Danny Sriskandarajah learned the value of citizenship at a young age as the child of Tamil migrants who moved from Sri Lanka to Australia. Arriving in the UK as the first Rhodes scholar from an Asian immigrant background, he has gone on to run a series of civil society organisations, and has become a leading voice in the third sector. POWER TO THE PEOPLE is his radical manifesto for change designed to inspire citizen action around the world. The book presents a blueprint for how we, as individuals, can make a difference through greater community engagement, and how we can deliver a society that works for the many and not the few. He speaks to voter apathy and a growing sense that elections no longer matter, with politicians and institutions too focused on short-term issues to grapple with complex global problems such as climate change, rising inequality, and digital disruption. Yet the book is also filled with inspiring real-life examples of citizen power in action, ranging from a volunteer-run repair café in Danny''s local suburb to Avaaz''s successful campaigns to tackle endemic corruption in Brazil.From public ownership of social media spaces to democratising share ownership, and from re-energising co-operatives to creating a people''s chamber at the United Nations, this campaigning book has a clear mission to make us reclaim our power as citizens of the world.

First Lady: An unputdownable thriller of politics and power - Michael Dobbs - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

Michael Dobbs, author of the No. 1 bestseller that inspired the hit Netflix series House of Cards, returns to the subject that made him a household name - the human drama and scandal in Westminster. First Lady is a compelling and witty novel of power, seduction and revenge, perfect for fans of John Grisham and Philip Kerr. Virginia Edge: mid-thirties, attractive, self-sufficient, ambitious. This is the story of her transformation from dutiful political wife to masterful manipulator of the entire political process at Westminster. She is a woman who is driven by the failings of men and the greed of others to take over their system and undermine it, to repay them in kind. In this battle she has two great allies - the intuition and determination of a wronged wife, and the blind ineptitude of Westminster men. Praise for Michael Dobbs: ''Brilliant... Full of magnificently dark political characters '' Daily Mail ''It''s barbed and breakneck , often very funny and hugely entertaining '' The Times ''Here is a political thriller writer with a marvellous inside track knowledge of government '' Daily Express
