Approximately 11 million people were killed during the Holocaust. No one will ever know the exact figure. Of those, some six million were Jewish, including one million children. The remainder comprised numerous ethnic and social groups deemed the Untermenschen, the subhuman species that, according to the German Chancellor Adolf Hitler and the ruling Nazis, were not fit to live.


When the implementation of the Final Solution - Reinhard Heydrich's plan to exterminate the remaining Jewish population in Nazi occupied Europe - began in 1942, it was but the height of a brutally executed, systematic plan to rid the world of these "unwanted" peoples. But how did the Holocaust begin? How did it develop? And who was responsible?


The Holocaust explores the background to this most barbaric of crimes and contains several reproductions of moving and important documents, including a child's drawing from the Warsaw Ghetto, the plans of the Theresienstadt concentration camp, and the Wannsee Protocol, the blueprint for the Holocaust itself.

There are 15 documents reproduced on the page, including:
Letter describing Kristallnacht and a diary extract about life in the ghetto
List of Jews to be transported, including place of departure and destination
Drawings by a child incarcerated at Theresienstadt concentration camp

"In her new book Why It's OK to Talk About Trauma, she forges a new path for all survivors of trauma, as well as breathing much-needed humour into a stigmatised condition." - Lucy Morgan, Glamour, May 2024


THIS IS THE BOOK YOUR BRAIN, BODY AND FUTURE SELF NEED TO READ.

More than half of us will have experienced some kind of trauma in our lives - many of us multiple times over. But most of us ignore or avoid our traumatic experiences, and struggle alone in the emotional pain that remains.

In Why It's OK to Talk About Trauma, award-winning journalist and campaigner Charlie Webster explores what trauma is, how trauma impacts us mentally, emotionally and physically, and why our past experiences influence our day-to-day behaviours. She draws on her own story, research and insight, backed by the clinical psychologist that treated her.

'I wrote this book following my journey through trauma recovery. I've included everything I've learnt in the hope that it will also help you. I want to show you that it is okay to talk about trauma, but I know it's not easy.

Sometimes it's hard to admit that what has happened to us affects us so deeply. But by the time you turn the final page, my intention is that you will feel different; what has happened will not have disappeared but it will feel more manageable and you will be equipped to deal with trauma and life moving forward.

Whatever has happened to you, we can face it together in this book. I am with you on this journey.'

We all daydream. We've all experienced that moment when we suddenly realise that instead of paying attention in a meeting or reading a book, our mind has wandered. In that moment, our conscious mind has detached from the current task at hand and has drifted elsewhere. But what if we could harness that power to increase creativity and focus our thoughts?

Our attention is a powerful lens which allows us to pick out and filter relevant details from the vast amounts of information our brains receive - so how does our brain decide where to go when it wanders, and why does it focus on one thing over another? How important is daydreaming and why do we do it?

Traditionally daydreaming was considered to be a single state of mind. However, recent research has shown that not only are there different states of daydreaming, but these states are actually governed by different neurological pathways, meaning not all mind-wandering is the same!

Here, Arnaud Delorme PhD examines the science and theory behind why we daydream, examining its potential purpose. He shows you how to tame your 'monkey mind' and offers easy techniques that will enable you to develop the skill of mind wandering to improve your mood and foster greater creativity.

"Dr. Arnaud Delorme delves deep into the mysteries of daydreaming in his latest book. Unveiling the diverse neurological pathways of mind wandering, he offers a compelling exploration of how our thoughts are formed and how they shape our perception of the world, integrating scientific rigor with the wisdom of ancient meditation practices."
- Deepak Chopra, founder of the Chopra Foundation and Chopra Global, clinical professor at the University of California, Honorary Fellow in Medicine at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, and author of over 90 books, including numerous New York Times bestsellers.

"We all daydream. You are likely doing it right now as you read this endorsement, but Delorme is on a mission to show the world that far from being a waste of time, mind-wandering can become the very best use of your time. If you have ever been curious about how your mind works, and how to make your thoughts work for you rather than against you, this book is seminal - destined to become a science meets spirit classic read."
- Theresa Cheung, Sunday Times Top-10 bestselling dreams and spiritual author, host of White Shores podcast.

"Dr. Arnaud Delorme's book deconstructs the ubiquitous phenomenon of mind wandering and even explores the fundamental nature of thoughts themselves. It is essential to us all - for the management of everyday living and overall well-being. The book's synthesis of science and practical exercises is nothing short of profound."
­- Mark Gober, award-winning author of An End to Upside Down Thinking and board member at the Institute of Noetic Sciences

"Delorme skilfully merges what is known about mind-wandering from cognitive psychology and the neurosciences, but this book is not just a dry scientific treatise . . . Highly recommended for those seeking to tame, or at least to understand, the ever-wandering mind."
- Dean Radin PhD, Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences and author of Real Magic and other books

"Join Dr. Arnaud Delorme on a fascinating journey into the human mind. His book not only uncovers the complex science behind daydreaming but also harmonizes it with timeless meditation teachings. This rare blend provides profound insights into taming and harnessing our thoughts to reshape our reality."
- Thomas Brothy, Ph.D., president of California Institute for Human Science and author

"With the perspective and tools that this book provides, readers will be equipped to both effectively manage their mind wandering and to discover for themselves the potential unique ways in which they flow down the stream of consciousness."
- Jonathan Schooler, PhD, Distinguished Professor UC Santa Barbara

"A groundbreaking work! Dr. Delorme skilfully guides us through the labyrinth of our own minds. His practical techniques for harnessing your mind are invaluable for anyone looking to enhance focus, mood, and creativity. This book is a rare blend of scientific depth and accessible wisdom."
- Prof. Steven Laureys, neurologist, keynote speaker and author of The No-Nonsense Meditation Book

"In this engaging and highly accessible book, Delorme offers a refreshingly balanced approach to competing theories about why our minds wander, even when we try valiantly to focus our attention. While the book is a feast for our intellect, the dessert comes when Delorme offers simple practices to help us think clearly and effectively. At a time when we are living with weapons of mass distraction that can easily throw us off course, Delorme gives us effective tools to find clarity and focus."
- Marilyn Schlitz, Ph.D., author of Living Deeply: The Art and Science of Transformation in Everyday Life

We've all had 'that' feeling: when our mood suddenly changes or we sense an 'atmosphere' on entering a room. There is a distinct quality that connects these experiences – it's a shift in how we sense a person or a place, often referred to as a 'vibe'. Vibes matter because they have the power to change the way we feel and behave.

Garret Yount PhD has been researching the science of 'energy vibes' for over 20 years. In Why Vibes Matter he explains what can lead us to experience a 'vibe' or a shift in energy and how to harness their power.

Looking at where vibes come from and how they affect us Garret reviews the research and explains the science behind our reactions. Practical tools and techniques will help you attune to your own vibes and learn how to influence them in the wisest possible way.

There is more folklore, mythology and magic associated with our trees and forests than with any other living things.

Known throughout the world as dark and wild places where witches make mischief and eerie creatures dwell, forests are also places of sanctuary for the ancient magic and the most enchanting species of trees.

Kew: Witch's Forest is a beautifully illustrated, captivating journey through the magical woodland and its stories, from birch broomsticks and the sacred olive, to alder doorways and the Tree of Life.
