In this thorough exploration of the history and spread of Americana
Music around the world, Ralph Brookfield goes beyond the headlines
to uncover what drives singer songwriters to go to Nashville, play
in small clubs and create their music against the increasingly
difficult backdrop of Covid-19, dwindling recording revenues and
fragmentation of the music industry. With so many music venues
closed and incomes reduced, musicians speak of their hopes and
fears for the future of the industry in challenging times. Extracts
from interviews with: Emily Barker, Yola, Troy Cassar-Daley, Kasey
Chambers, Dave Cobb, Paul Kelly, Lindi Ortega, Wildwood Kin and
many more. --Publisher "Publisher website"
The End of Certainty is a classic study of power, personality and
national destiny. From boom to recession, Hawke to Keating, and
Labor's victory for the 'true believers' in 1993, Paul Kelly has
written the ultimate inside story of how the 1980s changed
Australia and its political parties forever. His detailed scrutiny
of the inner working of the Hawke-Keating partnership and its slow
disintegration, his unravelling of the crippling rivalries for the
Liberal Party leadership and his burrowing into cabinet room
struggles over the deregulation of Australia's financial system
reveal the brutal realities of Australian politics and how it is
played at the very top. But above all, he reminds us of the sheer
pace of economic and social change the country lived through and
the wake of uncertainty it left behind. Joining The Hawke
Ascendancy, this second instalment in Paul Kelly's analysis of
modern Australian politics, remains as compelling and incisive as
when it was first written.
More than two hundred years after his birth, and 150 years after
the publication of his most famous essay On Liberty, John Stuart
Mill remains one of the towering intellectual figures of the
Western tradition. This book combines an up-to-date assessment of
the philosophical legacy of Mill's arguments, his complex version
of liberalism and his account of the relationship between character
and ethical and political commitment. Bringing together key
international and interdisciplinary scholars, including Martha
Nussbaum and Peter Singer, this book combines the latest insights
of Mill scholarship with a long-term appraisal of the ways in which
Mill's work has been received and interpreted from the time of his
death in 1873 to today. The book offers compelling insights into
Mill's posthumous fate and reputation; his youthful political and
intellectual activism; his views on the formation of character; the
development of his thought on logic; his differences from his
father and Bentham; his astonishingly prescient, environmentally
sensitive and 'green' thought; his relation to virtue ethics; his
conception of higher pleasures and its relation to his
understanding of justice; his feminist thought and its place in
contemporary debates and feminist discourses; his defence of free
speech and its fundamental significance for his liberalism; and his
continued contemporary relevance on a number of major issues. This
book will be of interest to students and scholars of Politics,
Political Theory, Philosophy, History, English, Psychology, and
also Cultural Studies, Empire studies, nationalism and ethnicity
studies.

The concept of a social contract has been central to political
thought since the 17th century. Contract theory has been used to
justify political authority, to account for the origin of the state
and to provide foundations for moral values and a just society. In
this collection, leading scholars from Britain and America survey
the history of contractarian thought and the major debates in
political theory which surround the notion of social contract. They
examine the critical reception of the ideas of thinkers such as
Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Hegel and Marx, and include the more
contemporary ideas of Rawls and Gauthier. The collection also
incorporates discussions of international relations theory and
feminist responses to contractarianism. Challenging the notion that
there is a single tradition that can be traced back beyond Hobbes
to classical Greece, three distinct traditions are identified,
alongside a series of anti-contractarian arguments which have
played a role in shaping the debate to the present day. Together,
these essays aim to provide a comprehensive introduction to
theories and critiques of the social contract, within a broad
political theoretical framework.

Despite the famously uncooperative Irish weather, John Hinde's
postcards of Ireland featured bright sunshine and blue skies, a
country seemingly peopled entirely with redheads, happy donkeys
carrying turf, and charming cottages that appeared to grow upward
from the earth itself. Cars and sweaters were in primary colours,
and scarlet rhododendrons sprang up in the unlikeliest of places.
John Hinde had a clear vision: 'We need to be uplifted rather than
depressed. To me pictures should always convey a positive, good
feeling, something which makes people happy, which makes them
smile, which makes them appreciate some tenderness.' In these
postcards, the world is a sunnier, less complicated and more
colourful place. Join Paul Kelly as he returns to John Hinde's
Ireland on a photographic pilgrimage, capturing some places that
have changed forever, and some that are just the same.

With a new foreword by Paul Kelly 'I regard Hayek's work as a new
opening of the most fundamental debate in the field of political
philosophy' - Sir Karl Popper 'This promises to be the crowning
work of a scholar who has devoted a lifetime to thinking about
society and its values. The entire work must surely amount to an
immense contribution to social and legal philosophy' -
Philosophical Studies Law, Legislation and Liberty is Hayek's major
statement of political philosophy and one of the most ambitious yet
subtle defences of a free market society ever written. A robust
defence of individual liberty, it is also crucial for understanding
Hayek's influential views concerning the role of the state: far
from being an innocent bystander, he argues that the state has an
important role to play in defending the norms and practices of an
ordered and free society. His arguments had a profound influence on
the policies of Thatcher in the 1980s and resonate today in visions
of the 'Big Society'. First published in three separate volumes,
this Routledge Classics edition makes one of his most important
books available in a single volume. Essential reading for
understanding the background to the recent world economic turmoil
and financial crisis, it also foreshadows the subsequent heated
debate about regulation and political governance if such disasters
are to be avoided in the future.
New York magazine columnist Joy Gibson was searching for the answer
to the eternal question: why are all the wrong people falling in
love? After all, love is a choice surely… but what if it wasn’t
your choice? Unbeknown to Joy, hers and other mortals choice is not
an act of free will, but a will of the Gods. Or more importantly,
one very vengeful God… Cupid. Trapped in a prison in the bowels
of Hades for thousands of years by an ancient curse, Cupid remains
captive until one special broken-hearted mortal shall set him free.
Unfortunately, when Joy is dumped by her fiancée and has her heart
broken… Joy becomes the very key to unlocking Cupid’s prison.
On the rampage now, Cupid vows merciless vengeance upon mankind
whom he blames for his incarceration and sets out to not only
cleanse their hearts from the scourge of love with his poison
arrows but to destroy their entire world they live on by turning
the most powerful arrows that humans possess against themselves…
nuclear weapons. Armed with only a bow and arrows borrowed from
Cupid’s brother Eros, Joy hunts Cupid through the riot-torn city
of New York whilst hunted herself by gangs of armed Hells Angels
who are all baying for her blood. The fate of all mankind’s
happiness and the lives of millions about to be incinerated by
nuclear Armageddon all lie in Joy's hands, as she races against the
clock to recapture a demon before he turns Earth into Hades. On her
nightmare quest to unlock the alchemy of love, Joy encounters obese
reality T.V. stars, psychotic Soviet Majors, randy royals in sex
clubs and she finally finds out what the Hokey Cokey is really all
about.

John Hinde was a pioneer of colour photography and one of the most
successful postcard publishers in the world. His largest collection
of postcards celebrated Ireland. He portrayed an island brightened
by his imagination, a place where children were red-haired and
freckled, the sun always shining, and the sky forever blue. His
idealistic images were to become the stereotypical portrayal of
Ireland for many years, and to this day elicit feelings of
nostalgia from viewers worldwide. Return to Sender pairs Hinde's
iconic, instantly recognisable postcards from the 1950s, '60s and
'70s with corresponding contemporary photographs. The side-by-side
contrast of these then-and-now photographs, wonderfully captured by
photographer Paul Kelly, illustrates the ways Ireland's rural and
urban landscapes have changed over the decades or, in some places,
not changed at all.

detail it's no surprise that this is the ultimate and complete
story of all things Rickenbacker.' - Johnny Marr 'A wonderful
history of my favourite guitar. The attention to detail is
amazing!' - Roger McGuinn 'There are few things more satisfying

a Fender Deluxe Reverb amplifier. Martin and Paul have given us the
