Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Granet's original work delves deep into the religious and spiritual
customs of ancient China by analysing their festivals and songs
from the Book of Odes including the original Chinese script. This
translation, originally published in 1932, aimed to present
Granet's observations to a wider English readership by omitting the
Chinese characters and providing an in-depth insight into one of
the most important early civilisations. This title will be of
interest to students of Asian studies.

'The history of Manchester jumps off its axis. The history of
England jumps off its axis. 2 a.m., 8th July, 1981, all the major
cities of England burn.' Crackling with anger, humour and
authenticity, Ed Edwards' play The Political History of Smack and
Crack chronicles the fallout for communities crushed by the heroin
epidemic at the height of Thatcherism. Shot through with home
truths about the road to recovery, this is an epic love song to a
lost generation inspired by the playwright's own personal
experience. The Political History of Smack and Crack was
shortlisted for the Theatre503 Playwriting Award. It was first
performed in Paines Plough's Roundabout at Summerhall at the
Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2018, before transferring to Soho
Theatre, London, produced by Most Wanted and Offstage Theatre in
association with W14 Productions, Alastair Michael and Soho
(co-commissioners). 'A terrific honest, funny, moving firecracker
of a play' Roy Williams OBE
