Margaret Thatcher - Life After...

Peter Just

"A joy to read." Andrew Roberts
The story of Margaret Thatcher's post-premiership years is a tale of high drama and low farce, with, at its heart, one extraordinary woman.
Margaret Thatcher enjoyed perhaps one of the most consequential political afterlives in British history. No longer in office but never really out of power, she was not only one of the most impactful Prime Ministers the UK has ever had; she was also one of the most impactful former Prime Ministers the UK has ever had. British politics today undoubtedly reflects Thatcher's time in No. 10, but it is also shaped by her later life and how people reacted and still react to it.
To mark the centenary of her birth, Margaret Thatcher: Life After Downing Street provides a radical reassessment of how Thatcher's premier emeritus years have been viewed to date. Covering the four main areas of her work after Downing Street – philosophy, party, policy and performance – and analysing her continued and continuing influence on the Conservative leaders and Prime Ministers of all parties who followed her, it demonstrates why, however small the politics may or may not have got since 1990, Margaret Thatcher is still big.

Bayard Rustin - A Legacy of...

Michael G. Long

While we can all recall images of Martin Luther King Jr. giving his "I Have a Dream" speech in front of a massive crowd at Lincoln Memorial, few of us remember the man who organized this watershed nonviolent protest in eight short weeks: Bayard Rustin. 
 
 
 
This was far from Rustin's first foray into the fight for civil rights. As a world-traveling pacifist, he brought Gandhi's protest techniques to the forefront of US civil rights demonstrations, helped build the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, led the fight for economic justice, and played a deeply influential role in the life of Dr. King by helping to mold him into an international symbol of nonviolent resistance. Rustin's legacy touches many areas of contemporary life—from civil resistance to violent uprisings, democracy to socialism, and criminal justice reform to war resistance. 
 
 
 
Despite these achievements, Rustin was often relegated to the background. He was silenced, threatened, arrested, beaten, imprisoned, and fired from important leadership positions, largely because he was an openly gay man in a fiercely homophobic era. This volume draws a full picture of Bayard Rustin: a gay, pacifist, socialist political radical who changed the course of US history and set a precedent for future civil rights activism, from LGBTQ+ Pride to Black Lives Matter.

City Resilience - Building...

Lyric Vale

In an era of rapid urbanization, cities are facing an array of challenges that threaten the sustainability and stability of urban life. From climate change-induced natural disasters to social inequality and economic instability, the vulnerabilities of urban environments are increasingly evident. As the global population continues to concentrate in cities, the importance of urban resilience has never been more critical. Urban resilience refers to a city's capacity to withstand, adapt to, and recover from various shocks and stresses, ensuring the continued wellbeing of its residents and the functionality of its infrastructure.
The resilience of urban communities is not just about withstanding external shocks such as earthquakes, floods, or pandemics, but also about the ability to respond to longer-term stresses like climate change, economic fluctuations, and demographic shifts. Cities are complex systems, where the interplay of social, environmental, economic, and technological factors can either contribute to vulnerability or foster the development of adaptive capacities. Building resilience, therefore, requires a multi-dimensional approach that integrates these various aspects, creating a robust foundation upon which cities can thrive despite inevitable challenges.
One of the primary reasons urban resilience has gained such prominence is the growing recognition of the vulnerability of cities in the face of climate change. With rising sea levels, more frequent and severe storms, and heatwaves becoming the norm, cities are exposed to significant risks that threaten public safety, economic stability, and infrastructure. Moreover, rapid urban growth often leads to poor urban planning, inadequate infrastructure, and limited resources to address emerging problems.

Pitcairn The Rebels of the...

Olivier Goujon

Who are the descendants of Fletcher Christian today? How did the Bounty rebels survive in virtual autarky on their island at the end of the world for ten generations? Why did the British crown finally take its revenge on the mutineers who had defied it since 1790? 
Olivier Goujon tells the epic story of the most astonishing human community, both mythical and terrifying, in the form of an adventure story and a journalistic investigation. The destiny of about fifty men and women who were rejected and disconnected from the rest of the world, from the progress of science and evolution. A damned nation that has lived in extreme difficulty for 230 years, often against morality and human rights.
Caught up by the modern world, secret diplomacy, international trade, and the King's justice, the island is now at a dramatic turning point in its history.
