Albion Dreaming. A Popular History of LSD in Britain<\/h3>\t\t\t

Andy Roberts<\/strong>
\nIf you think the psychedelic revolution of the sixties and seventies happened mainly in the USA, here\u2019s a book that proves you wrong. Not only was Timothy Leary given his first LSD by the mysterious Michael Hollingshead: Britain was a huge supplier of the queen of mind altering substances, producing blotter acid and even more microdots, distributed throughout the world. Starting with the early days, when psychedelics were sampled by artists like the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix or the Rolling Stones, Andy Roberts takes us on a colourful journey of free festival and fairs, right down to infamous busts and scientific studies. A wonderful book full of noteworthy facts. (SGS)

Trauma Industrial Complex. How Oversharing Became a Product in a Digital World<\/h3>\t\t\t

Darren McGarvey
\n<\/strong>Today, trauma permeates media, from music and television to films and books – my own included. While the increasing openness is welcome, I’ve observed that this rise has been accompanied by a parallel explosion of disinformation and sometimes harmful guidance about how to deal with personal trauma. How did we get here? And are the stories we’re telling ourselves liberating us or keeping us trapped?

The Origin of Language. How We Learned to Speak and Why<\/h3>\t\t\t

Madeleine Beekman
\n<\/strong>Infused with cutting-edge science, sharp humour, and insights into the history of biology and its luminaries, Beekman weaves a narrative that\u2019s both enlightening and entertaining. Challenging the traditional theories of male luminaries like Chomksy, Pinker, and Harari, she invites us into the intricate world of molecular biology and its ancient secrets. The Origin of Language<\/em> is a tour de force by a brilliant biologist on how a culture of cooperation and care have shaped our existence.
