Living Without Domination defends the bold claim that humans can
organise themselves to live peacefully and prosperously together in
an anarchist utopia. Clark refutes errors about what anarchism is,
about utopianism, and about human sociability and its history. He
then develops an analysis of natural human social activity which
places anarchy in the real landscape of sociability, along with
more familiar possibilities including states and slavery. The book
is distinctive in bringing the rigour of analytic political
philosophy to anarchism, which is all too often dismissed out of
hand or skated over in popular history.

Exploring the full breadth of work by British artist Adrian Berg RA
(1929-2011), and drawing heavily on the artist's personal archive,
this book discusses Berg's meticulous engagement with the landscape
which resulted in an impressive oeuvre created over a long career.
Embracing the figurative when abstraction was in the ascendancy,
Berg's artistic mission was to push the boundaries of
representative painting to discover new interpretations of familiar
scenes. Accordingly, his paintings revisited particular places
repeatedly - most notably the view of Regent's Park from his studio
window at Gloucester Gate. Highly colourful and engagingly written,
this book provides a long overdue appraisal and celebration of an
artist who is key to the conversation around the development of
British landscape painting, that most celebrated of British
traditions.
For this new edition, Roger Ariew has adapted Samuel Clarke's
edition of 1717, modernizing it to reflect contemporary English
usage. Ariew's introduction places the correspondence in historical
context and discusses the vibrant philosophical climate of the
times. Appendices provide those selections from the works of Newton
that Clarke frequently refers to in the correspondence. A
bibliography is also included.
Arguing that social movements can be explained and understood
only in a comparative historical perspective and not in terms of
immediate social or political conditions, the author identifies the
causes of the Land War in the evolution of social structure and
collective action in the Irish countryside over the course of the
nineteenth century.

The Moro restaurant was born out of a desire to cook within the wonderful tradition of Mediterranean food, and to explore exotic flavours little known in the UK. It is one of the most talked-about books of recent years, of which Nigella Lawson said 'This is the book I've been waiting for.' In Moro: The Cookbook, chefs Sam and Sam Clark have distilled the restaurant's most accomplished and delicious recipes, the dishes that have ensured its extraordinary success. The Moro menu encompasses dishes that originated in Spain and dishes from the Muslim Mediterranean, two areas linked in history by the Moors' 700-year occupation of Spain. The book is much more than a simple catalogue of recipes - Sam and Sam also communicate the romance and tradition inherent in each dish and their writing is informed by an intimate knowledge of long-established culinary and cultural traditions. In a market saturated with impersonal restaurant cookbooks, this book has a refreshingly different feel. It oozes character and is written and designed with palpable passion and insight. 'A magical book full of rare and special flavours' Nigel Slater' The Clarks have a way of making food taste wonderful' Claudia Roden 'This is a superb collection of recipes, all of which I plan to cook' Rose Gray
