    A short biography of the 20th U.S. President. Garfield was raised in humble circumstances on an Ohio farm by his widowed mother and elder brother. Before he was elected president in the Republican party he was first elected to Congress in 1862 as Representative of the 19th District of Ohio. Then to the Senate in 1880. His presidency lasted just 200 days-from March 4, 1881, until his death on September 19, 1881, as a result of being shot by assassin Charles J. Guiteau on July 2, 1881.

    The Inter-Continental Hotel in Kabul, initially a beacon of modernity and luxury, became a silent witness and a microcosm of Afghanistan's tumultuous history. In The Finest Hotel in Kabul (2025), the BBC’s Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet draws on decades of reporting and personal stays at the hotel to tell Afghanistan’s modern history through this single building. Inside its battered walls are the stories of staff who lived through glamour, violence, reform, and loss. The hotel still stands, having survived coups, foreign occupation, civil war, invasion, and the Taliban’s rule. The Finest Hotel in Kabul is a portrait of endurance—of a hotel, and of the people who kept going.

    Looking Out - Welsh Painting...

    The six sequential essays in this collection provide a narrative of a century and a half of Welsh painting, written with an emphasis on issues of social class and national identity. Through his earlier writing, Peter Lord has contributed to the establishment of an historical tradition of Welsh painting, but because it does not feature in the wider story of Western art history as presently told, the work revealed continues to be perceived as marginal, existing in isolation from ideas and movements in other countries. These essays break new ground by discussing the concerns of Welsh painters not only in domestic terms but also in the context of the ways in which artists in other parts of Europe and in the United States reacted to the common underlying causes of those concerns. The author challenges the idea that the work of Welsh painters is relevant only to the evolution of their own communities and, through confident and detailed analysis, validates their pictures also in terms of the arts of other Western cultures.
