The proliferation of messages that the voting public is exposed to in the digital age means it has never been more important to use the right slogan or phrase in order to capture people's attention. Over the course of an extraordinary career advising organisations and candidates of all political persuasions, strategist and pollster Chris Bruni-Lowe has developed a clear understanding of what language moves people to action. To that end, he assembled a database comprising 20,000 slogans used in major elections worldwide over the past century, scrutinised the results and assessed all other relevant factors, allowing him to evaluate how effective any slogan is in delivering an election result. This amazing store of information revealed the remarkable fact that over the past 100 years just eight 'hit' words have been central to the successful outcome of most major elections. Based on information produced by his database, plus extensive interviews with more than 100 politicians, advisers, academics, marketing executives and behavioural scientists, this utterly unique book sets out to identify what makes an election slogan successful - according to those who have been involved in creating them and using them. Each chapter focuses on one of the eight words and shows how it has contributed to changing the world. Those who have devised a slogan using one of the eight words will explain how they came up with it and offer their assessment of its effectiveness.

What really makes the British royal family tick? It's a question that royal watchers have pondered for as long as there has been a royal family. And the answer? Well, surprisingly, it's not the royal family's devotion to duty, it's not their wealth or their status, it's not even their popularity (or notoriety!). No, what really makes the royal family tick is the huge body of servants and staff past and present who feed and clothe the royals, organise their days, polish their shoes, carry the deer and pheasants they shoot, and even put the toothpaste on their toothbrushes. If you want to find out who these servants are, what they do and why, in so many cases, they devote their whole lives to royal service, then this book is for you. Some servants became utterly indispensable to the royals for whom they worked - Elizabeth II's childhood nanny Bobo MacDonald, for example, was closer to the late Queen than anyone in her family, not excepting even her husband Prince Philip and her sister Princess Margaret. At the other end of the spectrum, some members of staff found their royal employers arrogant, overbearing, snobbish and even infantile. As one recent member of the Kensington Palace team put it: 'What you get with one or two members of the royal family is a public angel and a private devil! And only the staff see the private devil!'

In the Third Reich, the SS ran the Gestapo, the police and the concentration camps where millions of people were killed. However Nazi Germany still had laws and a legal system which outlawed murder and other criminal acts and SS Investigating Judge and Police Official SS, Major Konrad Morgen, used these laws to investigate and bring individual members of the SS to justice for their crimes against innocent victims. He was a fearless judge and investigator, and when he crossed swords with more powerful forces inside the SS he was demoted and sent by the Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler himself to the Eastern Front as an ordinary soldier in the Waffen SS. But his investigative skills were still needed and he returned to launch a series of criminal investigations in concentration camps. As a direct result of his investigations two concentration camp commandants were shot before the end of the War and he arrested three others. This book describes the cases he investigated and how he was able to pursue some of Nazi Germany's worst murderers from inside the SS.

An extremely timely reevaluation of the "lost" Labour Prime Minister. The man who set the course for the last Labour government, and in whom many see the future of the next.

Following Russia's aggressive war in Ukraine, the world is suddenly gripped by concerns over energy security. And yet, there is an even greater threat ahead - one that is even more likely to shape the events of the 21st century than the competition for oil or gas. The combination of an ever-increasing global population, climate change, industrialisation, urbanisation and limited natural resources, means that one challenge, above all, will shape the political, economic and security environment in the years ahead. That challenge is water. If people and nations will fight for fossil fuels, it is nothing to what they will do for most vital natural resource of all. As a doctor, a politician who has dealt with both security and economic issues and a concerned citizen who has worked with WaterAid, Liam Fox tells the story of water and the challenges it presents in a more complete way than ever before. The Coming Storm links together a range of issues which are often written about separately but seldom together and issues a comprehensible and compelling call for urgent action.

Anyone under 40 is caught in the Inheritance Economy; where opportunity is defined not by what you learn or earn, but by what you inherit. Family wealth is keeping families together but widening social equality in the process and this is only going to intensify. Today's millennials are at the epicentre of a great wealth transfer. Over the next three decades roughly GBP5.5 trillion of family money and assets will be passed down the generations, altering the financial and social dynamics of the country. Forget the generation gap; the real fault line within generations is now between those who can rely on family financial support, and those that can't. How is this extraordinary movement of familial wealth shaping the lives of those who give, and those who hope to receive? How will this slow-motion financial revolution shape the lives of those who won't benefit from it? The inheritance economy is a story of winners and losers, but it's also a story of huge social change, economic realignment and political controversy. Centred on families' stories that illustrate the economic dilemma in Britain, taking in interviews with leading historians, economists, sociologists and politicians along the way, Inheritance Trap is a fresh and compelling exploration of our recent past and a future that will be shaped - for better or worse - by the largest transference of wealth in human history. A timely and important survey of a burning issue of our time. Forget intergenerational unfairness, we're already living in something more pervasive; an inheritance economy which is restricting opportunity, forcing families together and pulling society apart.
