Sinopse

In "From Gretna Green to Land's End: A Literary Journey in England," Katharine Lee Bates embarks on a captivating exploration of the English landscape through a rich tapestry of literary references and personal reflections. Blending her keen observational skills with an eloquent prose style, Bates traverses both iconic and lesser-known locales, illuminating the cultural and historical significance embedded within these places. The book is a synthesis of travel memoir, literary criticism, and cultural history, set against the backdrop of late 19th-century England, reflecting the burgeoning interest in regionalism and the interplay of geography and literature during that era. Katharine Lee Bates, an esteemed poet and author known for her iconic composition of "America the Beautiful," draws from her own experiences and deep appreciation for both literature and landscape. Raised in a family of educators and immersed in the literary tradition, Bates cultivated a profound admiration for England's rich literary heritage. Her personal journeys and scholarly pursuits create a compelling narrative thread, allowing readers to appreciate how personal and collective histories are interwoven within the fabric of English literature. This book is highly recommended for literary enthusiasts and casual readers alike, as it invites exploration of the aesthetic relationship between place and narrative. Bates' lyrical prose and insightful commentary make this work an engaging companion for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of England's literary legacy and its geographical nuances.

    As we begin to contemplate death and to embark on practical planning for life's end, many of us long to leave a legacy beyond a transfer of money and property—one that ensures a sustainable earth for our loved ones, our communities, and generations to come. But where do we even begin? 
     
     
     
    With the sudden deaths of both of her parents, Mallory McDuff found herself in a similar position. Utterly unprepared both emotionally and practically, she began to research sustainable practices around death and dying. For McDuff, an educator and environmentalist, what started as a highly personal endeavor expanded into a yearlong exploration and assessment of green burials, aquamation, green cemeteries, home funerals, and human composting. 
     
     
     
    In Our Last Best Act, McDuff bridges the gap between environmental action and religious faith by demonstrating that when the two are combined, they become a powerful force for the greater good. Full of practical information, this book equips listeners to make decisions for their own end-of-life planning. In a world experiencing a climate crisis and a culture that avoids discussions about death and dying, this book opens the conversation about the choices we make—and how it's possible for our death to honor our values, create a sustainable legacy, and help to heal the earth.

    How to Defeat the Far Right:...

    ‘A brilliant and challenging book’ GORDON BROWN 
    From the founder of Britain’s leading antifascist organisation, HOPE not hate, this is an urgent call to resist the forces of extremism on the march in Western societies – and how to go about it. 
    If you’re shocked and disconcerted by the rise of intolerance and hate, you’re not alone. 
    Drawing from 35 years of campaigning and journalism, Nick Lowles shows how anti-immigration, antisemitic and Islamophobic attacks have proliferated in the modern world, and how Britain – with the likes of Tommy Robinson and the growth of Reform UK – has been far from immune from far-right politics. 
    From HOPE not hate’s pioneering campaigns against the BNP in east London to the impact of the ‘manosphere’ and the issues in Netflix's Adolescence; from explorations of the pernicious influence of ‘race science’ and conspiracy theory to the interplay of deprivation and intolerance in Britain’s deindustrialised towns, Lowles entwines his inspirational story with hard-won lessons from decades of activism. 
    His conclusions – which do not shy away from awkward truths for campaigners – suggest practical ways for the far right to be defeated. And he shares powerful examples – from a participant-led youth club in Hull to Syrian refugees connecting with local people over falafel in Bradford – of finding the joy in showing that, hard as it can seem, HOPE can triumph over hate. 
    In his latest non-fiction work, Lowles explores the social and political ideologies that underpin totalitarianism and organised terrorism. It's a true biography of activists fighting against ethnic intolerance and fascism, making it a must-read for those interested in these topics.
