Bideford is an historic port on the RiverTorridge in north Devon.
In the sixteenth century Bideford developed as a major trading port
for the American colonies and maintained its significance into the
eighteenth century. During the twentieth century the port and
shipbuilding declined Bideford although it still has a fishing
fleet. In Lost Bideford & District authors Julian and Anthony
Barnes and Peter Christie portray through the years the old bridge
in Bideford and the pier, wartime activities including the arrival
of American GIs, old businesses that have disappeared today
including factories, mines and lime kilns, lost schools, mansions,
windmills, chapels and toll houses, railways that have closed, the
changing face of neighbouring Instow and Northam, and much more.
Lost Bideford & District presents a portrait of this corner of
the South West over the last century to recent decades that has
radically changed or disappeared today, showing not only industries
and buildings that have gone but also people and street scenes,
many popular places of entertainment and much more. This
fascinating photographic history of lost Bideford and the
surrounding district will appeal to all those who live in the area
or know it well, as well as those who remember it from previous
decades.

Great Torrington, or Cheping Torrington as it was once known
(Chipping being the old name for market) was a considerable town,
even in medieval times. It grew steadily from its agricultural
roots through an industrial phase and was at the centre of road,
canal and railway links. In Victorian times it had mills for corn,
sawmills, grist mills and tucking mills, lime kilns and a
glove-making factory, which employed 1,000 people, mostly in their
own homes. Then there was a fell mongers and skivers works for
curing the chamois leather to supply the glove factory. In the
twentieth century a giant milk and butter processing plant and
glass works were built here. One of Devon's largest land owners,
the Rolles, made their home here in the grandest house in North
Devon, Stevenstone, and they still live in the area at Heanton
Satchville. Further back in history, the town was the scene of a
bloody battle during the Civil War, and must be the only town in
England to have had its church accidentally blown up by gunpowder
kegs when over 200 prisoners locked up inside killed. Many
artefacts from Torrington's colourful past can still be found here:
the castle walls, built first in the thirteenth century. The
remains of the canal, built without act of Parliament by John
Rolle, in 1823, has been preserved by the Torrington Commoners and
makes an attractive walk alongside the River Torridge. Then there
was an early narrow gauge railway built to bring china clay from
the pits at Peters Marland to be distributed to the china companies
in the Midlands.

Obermann, first published in 1804, is the best known work of French
writer Etienne Pivert de Senancour. Usually described as an
epistolary novel, the letters that constitute this volume are much
closer to being a series of interlinked essays. Supposedly written
by the melancholy recluse Obermann, whom critics have generally
seen as a thinly disguised stand-in for Senancour himself, the
letters contain the emotional outpourings of a man forever
searching the depths of his innermost self in the hopes of
overcoming his despair and finding a place for himself in the
world, yet never quite succeeding. The letters cover a multitude of
topics such as the hypocritical morals of the time, the failings of
religion, the poor treatment of women in society, and the futility
of existence. But while these writings are always overshadowed by
an inescapable sense of brooding and pessimism, there are also
passages that contain striking descriptions of Obermann's Alpine
refuge that are almost mystical in their sense of union with
nature. The work is similar in some respects to Rousseau's Reveries
of the Solitary Walker, his Confessions, the Essays of Montaigne,
and even to Thoreau's Walden, yet it is wholly original in its
form, and there is nothing else quite like it in the history of
French literature. Though virtually unknown in America and largely
forgotten in France, Obermann should nonetheless be seen as an
essential text of early Romanticism whose rightful place is next to
Goethe's Sorrows of Young Werther and Chateaubriand's Rene.
Who gains and who loses from economic transformation in Eastern
Europe is a key question, but one which is too rarely discussed.
This book, first published in 1992, examines the evidence about
distribution of income under Communism in Eastern Europe. Contrary
to popular impressions, a great deal of information exists about
distribution of income and household earnings in Czechoslovakia,
Hungary and Poland. With glasnost much material previously kept
secret in the USSR has been made available. The book contains
extensive statistical evidence that had not previously been
assembled on a comparative basis, and brings the story right up to
the end of Communism. The findings bring out the differences in
experience between countries under Communism: between Central
Europe and the former Union; between Czechoslovakia, Hungary and
Poland; and between the newly independent states of the former
Soviet Union.

The Welfare State in the 1990s is the subject of intense debate by economists, sociologists and political scientists. Professor Atkinson begins by setting the argument in the context of inequality and poverty in Europe. The role of the existing Welfare State is then described, especially retirement pensions and unemployment benefits. Finally, he suggests ways by which social security may be reformed. The case for targeting, a basic income and the Social Chapter are discussed as they apply to British policy in a European context.
