Island of Strangers
'Few people have a better understanding of how endangered free speech has become in these islands than Ben Jones. This urgent cry for its restoration is a must read' Toby Young'To call Island of Strangers "unflinching" is to understate its tenacity and courage. It is forthright - territorial - yet it maintains a distinctive English politeness that will force its critics to address its argument: this is no polemic, but it is an unmistakable act of defiance.' The CriticBRITAIN IS BEING TRANSFORMED. IT IS UNFREE. AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. As mass migration reshapes Britain's population, an increasingly authoritarian state attempts to manage the resulting hyper-diversity by suppressing freedom of speech. We see this in two-tier policing, in attempts to criminalise blasphemy against Islam, and even in the private sector where thousands have lost their jobs or have been punished for expressing their beliefs. In Island of Strangers, Ben Jones - a director of the Free Speech Union - shows how multiculturalism came just as Britain was losing its sense of itself, as Christianity declined, and how its elite embraced a creed of 'diversityism'. Grounded in a long view of Britain's history, this book gets to the fundamental causes of why Keir Starmer's UK feels so unfree. The free speech crisis isn't just a passing problem. Silencing dissent is now built into how the fractured UK is governed. Different identity groups are increasingly locked in competition to protect their sacred ideas. The most potent challenge to Britain's tradition of free speech comes from within Islam. This book is unafraid to grapple with these truths. Increasingly it seems impossible even to define who 'we' are, much less what we believe or what unites us. Do we really have more in common than that which divides us? Increasingly it feels like we don't. Taking Keir Starmer's infamous line, this book argues that Britain has been transformed into 'an island of strangers'.

Something Brewing in Cornwall
Four years after establishing Braslou Biere, a British microbrewery in the heart of French wine country, Covid hits and Tommy and Rose Barnes are forced to make the agonising decision to return to England. Landing in a cramped cottage in scenic Padstow, their animals are rehomed, and their children confused. Tommy mourns the loss of his old life. After winning and losing several jobs, not least at the legendary St Austell Brewery, He realises that it is he who is the problem not the work. With that insight, and the kindness of friends, and a rival brewer he sets about launching Braslou Biere in Cornwall. Yes, there are disasters aplenty, but with his new self-knowledge and energy, life begins to look up. He launches Surfer Beer to celebrate. Told with biting wit and poignant reflection, this is a story of escape and exile, of finding freedom and losing it again, and of how the places we leave behind often haunt us more than we expect. It’s a deeply human tale about identity, home, and the weight of nostalgia—laced with beer, animals, and a truly indestructible dog.

Eric Cantona's 82 Goals
Eric Cantona is an enduring enigma. No Frenchman in the past 50 years has so successfully captured the British imagination. In scintillating essays that bring to life Cantona's wild swings - on what felt like a weekly basis - between hero and villain, this idiosyncratic catalogue of the footballer's 82 goals for Manchester United, describing the matches in which each goal was scored, is a close-up portrait of an unparalleled artist which takes the reader back to some of footballing's most cherished moments. Manchester United was dominating English football during this period, a run of success which began with their first league title in 26 years during the 1992-3 season. Inspiring younger players such as Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and David Beckham, Cantona was, and remains, an iconic figure, known for his style and effortless grace, his French flair and his unwavering, unapologetic non-conformity.

But before these ruthless Tyrant Philosophers send in their legions, they despatch Outreach – the rain before the storm. Outreach is that part of the Pal machine responsible for diplomacy — converting enemies into friends, achieving through words what an army of five thousand could not, urging the oppressed to overthrow the bloody-handed priests, evil necromancers and greedy despots that subjugate them. Angilly, twelve-years-old, a child of Pal soldiers stationed in occupied Jarokir, does not know it yet, but a sequence of accidents and questionable life choices will lead her to Outreach. As she travels from Jarrokir to Bracinta, Cazarkand, Lemas, The Holy Regalate of Stouk and finally, Usmai, she’ll learn that the price of her nation’s success is paid in compromise and lost chances, and that the falling rain will always be bitter. THE TYRANT PHILOSOPHERSA world steeped in magic of all flavours: divination, demonology, necromancy, alchemy, gods, monsters, portals to other dimensions and worlds — and what happens when it collides with an implacable foe — the Tyrant Philosophers — determined to bring reason, logic and ‘perfection’ to the exuberant magical chaos. 1.

Don We Now Our Gay Apparel
Expand your understanding of the development and history of gay men’s dress with Shaun Cole’s groundbreaking work – from the subcultural world of the early 20th century to the clubs and bars of the 80s and 90s. Drawing upon first-hand interviews conducted with men across the UK and US, Cole analyzes the trends in dress adopted by gay men as well as the challenge gay style has posed to mainstream men’s fashion. Other sources such as contemporary magazines shed further light on the culture and discourse influencing gay men’s dress and, in the newly extended reading list, the author situates his own work among the landscape of recent writing on queer and gay men’s style. A new preface and afterword also reflect on the value of the research methodology employed by the text, as well as the changes in studies related to the central focus of Cole’s work. Whether you’re approaching it from a fashion studies, LGBTQ+ studies or sociology perspective, this re-issued text is a vital introduction for anyone interested in gay men’s fashion over the last 100 years.

Minuty mezi životem a smrtí
Kolektivní monografie představuje první systematicky pojatou analýzu vývoje zdravotnické záchranné služby v českých zemích v období od jejího zestátnění v roce 1952 až po transformaci v krajské příspěvkové organizace v roce 2003. Kniha si klade za cíl zmapovat procesy institucionalizace, profesionalizace a modernizace přednemocniční neodkladné péče prostřednictvím analýzy oficiálního diskurzu a aktérské reflexe. Těžiště výkladu spočívá v letech 1952–2003, zároveň je však tento vývoj zasazen do širší perspektivy „dlouhého trvání“ od konce 18. století s důrazem na klíčové mezníky druhé poloviny 20. a počátku 21. století (1952, 1974, 1992 a 2003). V tematických kapitolách se monografie věnuje socio?profesní identitě výjezdových skupin, technologickým a materiálním proměnám, přechodovým liniím mezi přednemocniční a nemocniční péčí, etickým dilematům spojeným se setkáváním se smrtí a také genderovým aspektům a popkulturním obrazům. Zvláštní pozornost je věnována paměťové perspektivě řidičů, sester a lékařů, jejichž vyprávění slouží jako pramen k porozumění transformačním procesům nejen v urgentní medicíně, ale i v širším fungování socialistického a postsocialistického zdravotnictví.

Ten Transport Pioneers Who Changed the World
Ten Transport Pioneers Who Changed the World explores ten defining moments in the history of transport, spanning five centuries – from the age of sailing ships to the dawn of the modern jetliner. Its cast of innovators range from Cornish mining pioneer Richard Trevithick to the French nobleman Marquis Jouffroy d’Abbans, who each played a part in reshaping how we travel. Across land, sea and sky, their breakthroughs charted leaps in development that created lasting change: aqueducts and flights of locks that revolutionised inland waterways; paddle steamers and iron-hulled ships that redefined maritime power; the hot-air balloon and the jet engine that conquered the air; and the internal combustion engine and first electric locomotive that propelled transport forward. These are stories of bold ideas and those who conceived them – pioneers who challenged convention and pushed the boundaries of what seemed possible.
