Sinossi

Corn Law Battles explores the tumultuous political and economic landscape of 19th-century Britain, centering on the controversial Corn Laws. These laws, designed to protect domestic agricultural interests through tariffs on imported grain, ignited fierce debates between the landed aristocracy and the rising industrial bourgeoisie.

 
The book argues that the repeal of the Corn Laws, often seen as a victory for free trade, was a complex process deeply intertwined with class conflict and the demands of industrial expansion. Examining the impact on grain prices, wages, and profits, the book reveals how these laws fueled social unrest and the formation of movements like the Anti-Corn Law League.

 
The book challenges simplistic views of economic history by showcasing how power dynamics and unforeseen outcomes molded economic policy. It investigates the historical context, key players, and economic arguments surrounding the Corn Laws, drawing from parliamentary debates, pamphlets, and statistical data.

 
Progressing through the origins and evolution of the laws, the book dissects the class dynamics, the Anti-Corn Law League's strategies, and the repeal's short and long-term impacts on British society.

 
Ultimately, Corn Law Battles provides a nuanced understanding of the Corn Laws' legacy and their relevance to contemporary discussions on trade, protectionism, and globalization.

    There is one day in Joan Childs' life that she wishes she could do over: the day her daughter, Pam, a brilliant psychotherapist, plunged from a 15-story building to her death. In this vivid memoir, Childs, a psychotherapist, explains how her daughter's life was taken by the most unforgiving of executioners: bipolar disorder. It was the delusions, not her daughter, who made the final decision to end her life. 
    Why Did She Jump? provides an intimate, uncompromising look into one mother's search for peace, understanding, and clarity amid the chaos surrounding her daughter's tragic death. It is a masterful recounting of the events leading up to her suicide and lifts the veil of shame and secrecy as it forges a path toward understanding mental illness. 
    Even though Pam and Joan were skilled therapists, Pam could not be saved. Joan recounts vivid memories of Pam's life, the highs and lows, the red flags; how her daughter healed unreachable patients while she unraveled; and how she fooled everyone into thinking she was stable. 
    With searing honesty and great insight, Childs offers a rallying cry of support for anyone going through a similar struggle.

    Offers 40 concrete, practical tools and activities that will supercharge learners' ambition, organisation, persistence and determination. Where some education books focus on how individual teachers might sequence and deliver pieces of information in the clearest, most helpful and supportive way, engaging as many learners as possible, this one is different. This book looks at how you can help learners manage their workload and take control of their own knowledge and skills. It explores the characteristics, qualities and habits of successful students and shares forty replicable tools and tactics that all students can use immediately, both in and out of the classroom – activities that will help them to set goals, work more efficiently, organise their resources, revise more effectively and solve problems. This book is a perfect introduction to the VESPA approach, as well as being a practical addition to previous resources. The VESPA Handbook will help teachers develop the five key characteristics and behaviours that students need to be successful: vision, effort, systems, practice and attitude. When it comes to achieving academic success, these characteristics are crucial. Suitable for teachers, tutors and parents who want to boost academic outcomes in 14–18-year-olds and equip them with powerful tools and techniques in preparation for further education and employment.
