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

This book deals with the forgotten history of the civil rights
movement. The American Left played a significant part in the
origins of that movement, whose history has traditionally been
focused on the later 1940's and early 1950's. This approach needs
serious re-thinking in light of what took place in the later 1930's
with the organization and activity of groups like the Southern
Negro Youth Congress that brought both African-American and white
workers and students together in the fight for economic and social
justice. Thanks to the post-World War II Red Scare such groups as
well as Left African-American leaders like Esther and James Jackson
have been overlooked or excised from an exciting, controversial,
and important story. With all due credit to the churches which
played such a pivotal role in finally winning Blacks their civil
rights, the early history involving the Left, workers of both
races, and the labor unions must be assimilated into America's
memory, for there were important continuities between what they did
and the later church-based struggle. This book was published as a
special issue of American Communist History.

"The leading academic vehicle for scholarly publication in the
field of medieval warfare." Medieval Warfare The twenty-first
volume of the Journal of Medieval Military History begins with
three studies examining aspects of warfare in the Latin East: an
archaeological report on the defenses of Jerusalem by Shimon Gibson
and Rafael Y. Lewis; a study of how military victories and defeats
(viewed through the lens of carefully shaped reporting) affected
the reputation, and the flow of funds and recruits to, the Military
Orders, by Nicolas Morton; and an exploration of how the Kingdom of
Jerusalem quickly recovered its military strength after the
disaster of Hattin by Stephen Donnachie. Turning to the other side
of the Mediterranean, Donald J. Kagay analyzes how Jaime I of
Aragon worked to control violence within his realms by limiting
both castle construction and the use of mechanical artillery.
Guilhem Pépin also addresses the limitation of violence, using new
documents to show that the Black Prince's sack of Limoges in 1370
was not the unrestrained bloodbath described by Froissart. The
remaining three contributions deal with aspects of open battle.
Michael John Harbinson offers a large-scale study of when and why
late-medieval men-at-arms chose to dismount and fight on foot
instead of acting tactically as cavalry. Laurence W. Marvin
reconsiders the Battle of Bouvines, concluding that it was far from
being a ritualized mass duel. Finally, Michael Livingston
elucidates some principles for understanding medieval battles in
general, and the battle of Agincourt in particular.

First published in 1979, the Usborne Book of the Future is a
fondly-remembered book from a time when people dreamed of the
future as a place filled with wonder and amazing new technology.
After more than 40 years of science fiction focussing on dystopias
and doom, it's time to remind readers young and old that, in fact,
the Future is STILL a place that holds hope and excitement. The
book is built in three sections. The first explores all kinds of
robots, the jobs they will do on land, sea and in space, and where
they will get power from. The second is all about cities of the
future, and how people will live, what new buildings they will
build, how computers will change the world, and what people will do
for fun. The final section is about the future of travel, from
planes, trains and cars on Earth, to Space shuttles and journeys to
colonise other planets. This re-issued book retains the original
text and stunning artwork, but now comes with a foreword by
renowned BBC Futurologist Tom Cheesewright, who was inspired into
his career by the original edition of the book. From outlining the
internet to asteroid mines to 3D printers and robot helpers, you'll
be surprised by how accurately this book predicted life in the 21st
Century. Long out of print, copies of the original printing of this
book fetch three figures on auction sites. Now at last people who
remember this book from their childhood can find it again, and
share it with the next generation, at normal bookshop prices!
Righteous Indignation: Christian Philosophical and Theological
Perspectives on Anger explores the philosophy of Christian
anger-what anger is, what it means for God to be angry, and when
anger is morally appropriate. The book explores specific biblical
questions, such as how God communicates his anger in the Old
Testament and whether anger at one's enemies in the imprecatory
psalms is praiseworthy. In addition, some chapters focus on the
practical application of anger to topics such as racial justice,
criminal law, and civil discourse, and on the ideas of historical
figures such as Thomas Aquinas and Jonathan Edwards. The purpose of
the book is to provide multiple perspectives, examining anger from
different angles, but most of all it is hoped that readers will
come away with a better understanding of God's nature and how
followers of Jesus ought to relate to those who wrong them.
Recent agri-food studies, including commodity systems, the
political economy of agriculture, regional development, and wider
examinations of the rural dimension in economic geography and rural
sociology have been confronted by three challenges. These can be
summarized as: 'more than human' approaches to economic life; a
'post-structural political economy' of food and agriculture; and
calls for more 'enactive', performative research approaches. This
volume describes the genealogy of such approaches, drawing on the
reflective insights of more than five years of international
engagement and research. It demonstrates the kinds of new work
being generated under these approaches and provides a means for
exploring how they should be all understood as part of the same
broader need to review theory and methods in the study of food,
agriculture, rural development and economic geography. This radical
collective approach is elaborated as the Biological Economies
approach. The authors break out from traditional categories of
analysis, reconceptualising materialities, and reframing economic
assemblages as biological economies, based on the notion of all
research being enactive or performative.

"It Can't Happen Here" is the only one of Sinclair Lewis's later
novels to match the power of "Main Street, ""Babbitt," and
"Arrowsmith." A cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy,
it is an alarming, eerily timeless look at how fascism could take
hold in America. Written during the Great Depression, when the
country was largely oblivious to Hitler's aggression, it juxtaposes
sharp political satire with the chillingly realistic rise of a
president who becomes a dictator to save the nation from welfare
cheats, sex, crime, and a liberal press. Called "a message to
thinking Americans" by the" Springfield Republican" when it was
published in 1935, "It Can't Happen Here "is a shockingly prescient
novel that remains as fresh and contemporary as today's news.
With an Introduction by Michael Meyer
and a New Afterword
This groundbreaking book presents conceptual, theoretical and
applied research on women's life histories. The authors fulfill two
needs: they provide a collection of essays that grapple with
controversial issues in the study of life history, and they present
many narratives from women of color, the majority collected and
interpreted by women of color. The individual chapters offer a
variety of voices linked by a philosophical and political
orientation that places women of color at the center of scholarly
inquiry rather than at the periphery. Ultimately, readers find in
this text innovative ways of reconceptualizing the complexities of
women's lives.

Law and History contains a broad range of essays by prominent legal historians, which explore the ways in which history has been used by lawyers. Largely theoretical in focus, the volume covers a broad range of issues, including discussions of norms in medieval England, the works of Montesquieu, Maine, and Weber, and of the nature of legal argument in nineteenth-century England, and in twentieth- century war crimes trials.
Helen Lewis' acclaimed memoir, A Time to Speak (Blackstaff Press,
Belfast, 1997), tells the story of the first thirty years of her
life in Czechoslovakia, from childhood to her professional training
as a choreographer and dancer. It also contains her devastating
account of Nazi persecution, of loss and suffering in the
Holocaust: Helen came very close to death. Maddy Tongue now
completes the story of this extraordinary woman who overcame
unimaginable suffering to become a creative force in Ireland. The
author's friendship with Helen lasted for more than fifty years. As
a dancer she performed in many of Helen's significant works.
Shadows Behind the Dance describes Helen's creative approach, her
struggle to overcome an Irish indifference to modern dance, her
pursuit of perfection and her unshakeable belief in humanity. In
Ireland today the presence of modern dance owes much to her
innovative teaching and practice. Shadows Behind the Dance is
supplemented with Chris Agee's 2002 interview with Helen, "An Irish
Epilogue", and a folio of Holocaust poems and drawings by Michael
Longley and Sarah Longley (who was a pupil of Helen's). Helen's
sons, Robin and Michael, have also written a Foreword. The book has
been generously funded through subscription by family, friends,
colleagues and admirers of the unforgettable Helen Lewis.

Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia: on the night after the terrorist attack
killing thirty-eight tourists on the nearby beach of Sousse, a
woman sits facing the sea, and attempts to take stock. Personal
tragedies soon resurface, the unexpected deaths of a dear friend -
a fellow writer who died just weeks ago at sea, having forsaken the
work that had given his life meaning - and of her father, a quiet
man who had left all that he held dear in Tunisia to emigrate to
France in his later years. Through childhood memories and the prism
of modern French classics, the story of Tunisia's Jewish community
is pieced together. Shifting from Tunisia to Paris to a Flaubertian
village in Normandy, Colette Fellous embarks on a Proustian lyrical
journey, in which she gives voice to loved ones silenced by death
and to those often unheard in life. Her love letter and adieu to
her native country becomes an archive - or refuge - for stories of
human resilience.
Liverpool was unique among English towns in the rate of its
commercial development from the late seventeenth century.
Liverpool, 1660-1750 provides the first significant detailed
published study of the social and political structure of the town
during this crucial period. The authors utilize a number of
methodological approaches to early modern Liverpool, using parish
registers, probate material and town government records to consider
the characteristics of marriage, birth and death in a fast-growing
and mobile population; the occupational structure, family lives and
connections of workers in the town; and the political structures
and struggles of the period. It is hoped that this book will
provide a stimulus to further investigation of Liverpool's early
and precocious eighteenth-century growth.
