![]() Whether attending a meeting, sharing a post online, or mustering the nerve to ask for a favor, we often assume our actions, input, and requests will be overlooked or rejected. Weaving together compelling stories with cutting edge science, Bohns answers the questions we all want to know (but may be afraid to ask): How much did she take to heart what I said earlier? Do they know they can push back on my suggestions? Did he notice whether I was there today? Will they agree to help me if I ask? In You Have More Influence Than You Think social psychologist Vanessa Bohns draws from her original research to illustrate why we fail to recognize the influence we have, and how that lack of awareness can lead us to miss opportunities or accidentally misuse our power. Those feelings may instead have been the result of a lack of awareness we all seem to have for how our words, actions, and even our mere presence affect other people. If you’ve ever felt ineffective, invisible, or inarticulate, chances are you weren’t actually any of those things.

Other critics have described the work as “domestic fiction,” though the novel subverts expectations of this subgenre by deliberately eschewing moralization. The comparison is imperfect, however: Though Rojas Contreras alludes to the supernatural, the novel is far more realist than magical. ![]() Rojas Contreras’s rich prose and vivid detail have inspired critics to compare her work to that of Latin American magical realists like Isabel Allende and Gabriel García Márquez.

His argument was that the concept of "racism", created in the 1930s to describe biological racism, should be extended to take into account prejudices against people on the basis of cultural difference. Studying growing hostility to migrants in Britain, he coined the idea of "new racism"-later known as cultural racism-and promoted this through his 1981 book The New Racism. Identifying as a committed socialist and anti-racist, during the 1970s, Barker focused his research on racism, in particular its place in British children's comics. Barker received an undergraduate degree in philosophy from the University of Liverpool in 1967, after which he lectured in cultural studies at Bristol Polytechnic, later renamed the University of the West of England, from 1969 to 1998. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the writing world, the pen-name version of me progressed in much the same way.

I had succeeded pretty well, and there was no prouder man on earth than Richard Hannay when he took his Lennox Highlanders over the parapets on that glorious and bloody 25th day of September.
