Sinopsis

In "Results and Prospects," Leon Trotsky presents a profound analysis of the Russian Revolution and the trajectory of socialism, articulated through a Marxist lens. This seminal work is characterized by Trotsky's vivid prose, theoretical rigor, and a sense of urgency that reflects the tumultuous period in which it was written. Published in 1906, the book examines the revolutionary potential of the proletariat, critiques both reformist and opportunist elements within the working-class movements, and postulates the necessity for a global revolution to realize socialist ideals. Through these explorations, Trotsky situates his writing within the broader context of early 20th-century Marxism, making it essential for understanding the ideological battles of the era. Trotsky, a key figure in the Bolshevik Revolution and a staunch advocate for permanent revolution, draws upon his personal experiences and radical political activity to inform his analysis. His intellectual journey, marked by his opposition to Stalin's bureaucratic regime, imbues "Results and Prospects" with a sense of urgency and conviction about revolutionary theory. Trotsky's unique perspective, shaped by his historical involvement in both theory and practice, enhances the text's authority and relevance. This book is highly recommended for those interested in revolutionary theory, political history, and the complexities of socialist thought. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find Trotsky's insights illuminating as they grapple with the ongoing struggles for social justice and equality in contemporary society. "Results and Prospects" is not merely a historical account; it is a clarion call for continued revolutionary action.

The Murder Game

John Curran

From The Murder of Roger Ackroyd to Magpie Murders, and related diversions including cryptic crosswords and Cain’s Jawbone, The Murder Game examines the games authors played with their readers and the importance of puzzles in Golden Age whodunits.
With books flourishing in the 1920s and ’30s like never before, no genre was more innovative or popular than detective fiction. It was an era that saw the emergence of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, John Dickson Carr, Ellery Queen and dozens of other authors who became household names for a generation of readers.
The Golden Age of Detection has enjoyed a great resurgence of interest in recent years, with publishers mining back catalogues to bring the best of yesteryear to very receptive new audiences. What is it about a literary movement that took off in the 1920s that still appeals to book lovers in the 2020s?
In this authoritative new study, John Curran reveals that it is the ludic qualities of classic crime fiction that continue to intrigue. At its heart is the ‘whodunit’ game between writer and reader, but there is also the game between detective and murderer, between publisher and book-buyer, even between the writers themselves.
Coinciding with an increase in leisure time and literacy, the Golden Age also saw the development of the crossword, the growth of bridge and Mahjong, the enduring popularity of jigsaws and the emergence of Cluedo – all activities requiring the ‘little grey cells’. The Murder Game considers all of these, and many other sporting and competitive recreations, helping to explain the reading public’s ongoing love affair with the Golden Age.
John Curran, in his latest non-fiction, delves into the mystery of the enduring appeal of detective fiction from the 20th century. He explores the games played not just within the stories, but also between the writers, publishers, and readers, making this a must-read for any fan of the genre.
For fans of G. K. Chesterton (Saint Francis of Assisi), Lucy Worsley (Jane Austen at Home), and Carla Valentine (Murder Isn't Easy).

The Phone Fix - The...

Dr Faye Begeti

What is really happening in your brain when you use your phone, and how to harness it. 
 
Humans are often fearful of the day the world will be ruled by machines, but have they not already taken over? The average person spends 4-5 hours a day on their phone, about a third of the time they are awake. We self-interrupt our work and social lives, forgo sleep, procrastinate important tasks and opt for digital distraction when we're bored or feel uncomfortable. 
 
NHS neurology doctor and neuroscientist Faye Begeti describes what is happening in our brain when we use our phones and why we have formed so many fixed and negative habits around them. She reflects on both deliberate choices and automatic behaviours, whilst also challenging myths around digital 'addiction', how dopamine actually works and the harmfulness of blue light. 
 
Rather than recommending a quick fix digital diet, or total abstinence - unviable for most people - The Phone Fix offers a practical guide, based on neuroscientific techniques, on building supportive digital habits. Technology is not inherently bad or frightening and by better understanding what is happening in our brains, we can replenish our willpower and improve our focus, forming a healthier relationship with our phones ¬- and therefore the real people around us.
