Sinopsis

In 'History of English Literature from "Beowulf" to Swinburne,' Andrew Lang embarks on an ambitious and comprehensive exploration of the evolution of English literature across centuries. Lang's literary style is characterized by its clarity and accessibility, combining rigorous scholarly research with eloquent prose that captivates both the academic and casual reader. He meticulously examines pivotal works, authors, and movements, situating texts within their historical and cultural contexts, thereby revealing the interconnectedness of literature and the societal factors that influenced its development. Andrew Lang, a prominent Scottish poet, novelist, and critic of the late 19th century, was deeply immersed in the literary traditions of his time. His extensive background in philology and mythology, along with his personal commitment to understanding literary heritage, uniquely positioned him to undertake this exhaustive study. Lang's critical insights are informed by his own literary endeavors and a keen awareness of the shifting dynamics of literary taste and appreciation during the Victorian era. For readers with an interest in the trajectory of English literature or the societal forces shaping its narratives, this book is an indispensable resource. Lang's coherent synthesis of literary history provides a foundational understanding, making it a valuable addition to both academic libraries and personal collections.

  • The Yompers - With 45 Commando in the Falklands War - cover

    The Yompers - With 45 Commando...

    Called to action on 2 April 1982, the men of 45 Commando Royal Marines assembled from around the world to sail 8,000 miles to recover the Falkland Islands from Argentine invasion. Lacking helicopters and short of food, they ‘yomped’ in appalling weather carrying overloaded rucksacks, across the roughest terrain. Yet for a month in mid-winter, they remained a cohesive fighting-fit body of men. They then fought and won the highly successful and fierce night battle for Two Sisters, a 1,000 foot high mountain which was the key to the defensive positions around Stanley.
     
    
     
    This is a first hand story of that epic feat, but it is much more than that. The first to be written by a company commander in the Falklands War, the book gives a compelling, vivid description of the ‘yomp’ and infantry fighting, and it also offers penetrating insights into the realities of war at higher levels. It is a unique combination of descriptive writing about frontline fighting and wider reflections on the Falklands War, and conflict in general.
     
    
     
    Gritty and moving; sophisticated, reflective and funny, this book offers an abundance of timeless truths about war.
     
    
     
    Postscript: ‘Yomping’ was the word used by the Commandos for carrying heavy loads on long marches. It caught the public’s imagination during this short but bitter campaign and epitomized the grim determination and professionalism of our troops.

    Obesity is becoming one of the preeminent public health concerns, with prevalence increasing throughout the world.
    Covering many aspects of contemporary obesity research, this timely book by some of the leading experts in the field explores issues relating to the biology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of obesity, including childhood obesity. The work is attuned to the needs of those living with obesity, with a chapter devoted to
    the harm caused by weight stigma and false narratives around lifestyle choices.
    'Obesity, the other pandemic of the 21st century' reviews the available evidence to prove that obesity should be considered not just as a key contributor towards other comorbidities, but as a disease by itself. Importantly, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on obesity is addressed, which raised the complexity and severity of the obesity and should be a call to action for the prevention and early treatment of this disease. This book has been developed by World Obesity Federation collaborators, and is aimed at healthcare practitioners, academics, policymakers, students, patients living with obesity and all those impacted by the issue.
    The research covered in these pages goes some way towards proving that obesity is quickly becoming 'the other pandemic' of the 21st century. Much like any major pandemic, the consequence of inaction is truly alarming.

    Critics of abolition sometimes castigate the movement for its utopianism, but in How to Abolish Prisons, long-time organizers Rachel Herzing and Justin Piché reveal a movement that has made the struggle for abolition as real as the institutions they are fighting against. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on extensive interviews with abolitionist crews all over North America, Herzing and Piché provide a collective reconstruction of what the grassroots movement to abolish prisons actually is, what initiatives it has launched, how it organizes itself, and how its protagonists build the day-to-day practice of politics. Listeners sit in on the Winnipeg rideshares of Bar None and the meetings of the Chicago Community Bail Fund as they assess the utility of politicized mutual aid. They follow the campaigns and coalitions of Critical Resistance in Oakland and San Francisco and Survived and Punished in New York City, and learn about the prisoner correspondence projects that keep activists behind bars and outside them in constant coordination. 
     
     
     
    Abolitionist campaigns are constructing on-the-ground initiatives across North America to deconstruct carceral society and build resistant communities. Through the words, deeds, and personalities of this beautifully peopled movement, How to Abolish Prisons emerges as a stunning snapshot of a movement's thinking in motion.
