Sinossi

The Breakdance Revolution tells the dynamic story of breaking, from its emergence in the 1970s Bronx as a form of street dance born from socio-economic hardship and vibrant hip-hop culture, to its global spread and ultimate recognition as an Olympic sport. This book traces the dance's evolution, exploring how media representation in the 1980s significantly shaped its identity and how competitions evolved from informal street battles to formal athletic events. It is a cultural phenomenon that balances preserving its improvisational roots with adapting to mainstream acceptance.

 
The book uniquely presents this history in three distinct sections. It begins by contextualizing breaking’s Bronx origins, then examines its spread via music videos and films, and finally analyzes the debates surrounding its Olympic inclusion. Through archival research and interviews, the book highlights the tensions between street credibility and commercial appeal, artistic expression and athletic performance. It aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing breaking today, making it valuable for anyone interested in sports history, dance, and the cultural evolution of popular culture.

    Winner of the Best Non-Fiction by a Parliamentarian category at the Parliamentary Book Awards 2023
    With a Foreword by Lord Hague of Richmond
    The Intelligence Corps is one of the smallest and most secretive elements of the British Army. It has existed in various guises since the early twentieth century, but it was only formally constituted in July 1940. In this book, Michael Ashcroft tells the astonishing stories of some of its most courageous and ingenious figures, who have operated all over the world from the First World War to the present day.
    Whether carrying out surveillance work on the street, monitoring and analysing communications, working on overseas stakeouts, receiving classified information from a well-placed contact or interrogating the enemy in the heat of war, a hugely diverse range of people have served in the Corps, often supplementing their individual professional skills with original thinking and leadership in the name of the Crown. This book pays tribute to them and shows why, in the words of the 1st Duke of Marlborough, 'No war can be conducted successfully without early and good intelligence.'

    Confucianism, one of the world’s oldest and most influential philosophies, has deeply shaped Chinese culture, governance, and social structures for over two millennia. Rooted in the teachings of Confucius, a revered teacher and philosopher who lived in ancient China, Confucianism is less a religion than a guiding framework for leading an ethical life, cultivating personal virtues, and fostering harmonious relationships. Its principles emphasize respect for family, reverence for tradition, and a commitment to education and self-betterment—values that resonate universally, even as they are uniquely expressed in East Asian societies. 
    Confucius himself envisioned a society where individuals behaved with compassion and integrity, rulers governed with wisdom and justice, and families formed the foundation of moral learning. Central concepts such as *ren* (humaneness), *li* (ritual propriety), and *xiao* (filial piety) highlight the importance of empathy, respectful conduct, and devotion to family, which lie at the heart of Confucian teachings. Over centuries, these ideals have expanded to influence countless aspects of life, from governance and social etiquette to education and family dynamics. 
    As Confucianism has evolved, it has also encountered both support and criticism, adaptations and reinterpretations. In modern times, the philosophy faces new questions: How does Confucianism reconcile with individual rights and equality? What role does it play in an increasingly globalized world? This book aims to explore Confucianism in its depth and breadth, unraveling its rich history, core teachings, and its dynamic role in contemporary society.  
    For anyone seeking to understand the values and perspectives that have helped shape one of the most enduring societies on earth, Confucianism offers both timeless wisdom and a meaningful framework for personal and social growth.

    "Modern Nations: The Making of Australia, New Zealand, and Māori Identity (2 in 1)" explores the transformative journey of two nations as they evolved from colonial settlements into independent, modern states, while also examining the ongoing struggle for recognition and identity among Indigenous communities. This two-part volume captures the complex and often challenging histories that shaped Australia and New Zealand, revealing how these countries forged their national identities amidst cultural clashes, political shifts, and social change.  
    The first section, The Making of Modern New Zealand, traces New Zealand's path from British colony to sovereign nation, highlighting the impact of European settlement, the Treaty of Waitangi, and the ongoing fight for Māori rights and cultural preservation.  
    The second section, History of Australia, explores the formation of modern Australia — from its origins as a British penal colony to its emergence as a diverse and independent nation — while also acknowledging the profound and lasting effects of colonization on Aboriginal communities.  
    Together, these narratives provide a comprehensive understanding of how colonial histories, Indigenous resistance, and nation-building efforts have shaped the modern identities of Australia, New Zealand, and their Indigenous peoples. This book is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the dynamic and often contested histories that continue to influence these nations today.
