Sinopsis

In "From Bapaume to Passchendaele, 1917," Philip Gibbs delivers a harrowing yet poignant account of World War I, capturing the brutality and chaos of the Western Front during one of its most devastating years. Gibbs employs a journalistic prose style that melds vivid descriptions with personal anecdotes, immersing readers in the trenches and battlefields where the human spirit was both tested and shattered. This work stands as a significant historical narrative, providing detailed insights into military strategies, the psychological toll on soldiers, and the overarching political context that defined the conflict, effectively situating it within the broader canon of war literature. Philip Gibbs, a renowned war correspondent and author, brings a unique perspective to his writing, heavily influenced by his real-life experiences covering the First World War for the Daily Chronicle. His intimate familiarity with the front lines, coupled with an empathetic understanding of the soldiers' plight, lends authenticity to his observations and profoundly shapes the narrative. Gibbs's dedication to representing the experiences of ordinary men in extraordinary circumstances stems from his commitment to memorializing their struggles, which ultimately fueled his literary endeavors. For readers seeking a profound understanding of World War I's human experience, "From Bapaume to Passchendaele, 1917" is an indispensable resource. Gibbs's capability to convey both the horrors of war and the resilience of the human spirit invites readers to appreciate the complexities of this turbulent period. This book is highly recommended for scholars, history enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the psychological and social ramifications of conflict.

    A classic work in political philosophy, intellectual history and economics, The Road to Serfdom has inspired and infuriated politicians and scholars for half a century. Originally published in 1944, it was seen as heretical for its passionate warning against the dangers of state control over the means of production. For Hayek, the collectivist idea of empowering government with increasing economic control would lead not to a utopia but to the horrors of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.

    ‘An important new voice’ DAVID YIP, actor 
    ‘A vital resource’ PEYVAND SADEGHIAN, actor and writer 
    ‘Important and poignant…A brilliant read’ HELEN TSE MBE, author of Sweet Mandarin 
    What does it mean to exist at the intersection of cultures? 
    Though a citizen of the UK, Daisy J. Hung is regularly mistaken for a tourist, asked where she’s really from or greeted with Ni hao on the assumption she speaks Mandarin. These experiences serve as a reminder that, no matter how she moves through the world, she is often seen as an outsider. 
    In I Am Not a Tourist, Daisy explores what it means to be British Chinese today, and the social, historical and political factors that have got us here. Fighting narrow and dehumanising stereotypes, of Chinese people excelling at school, or being devoid of original thought or leadership, or having authoritarian parents, she encourages readers to interrogate their assumptions and interpretations of ‘Chinese’ identity. 
    In the wake of the upsurge of anti-Asian racism, triggered by the racialisation of the COVID-19 pandemic as the ‘China virus’, ‘China plague’ and ‘Kung flu’, I Am Not a Tourist exposes the ongoing racism and inequalities that British Chinese communities face, and forms an urgent call for change. 
    'If you’re looking to expand your understanding of the community, this book is an essential addition to your reading list’ LORD SONNY LEONG CBE 
    *Audiobook narrated by Katie Leung (Harry Potter) 
    In this riveting autobiography, Daisy J. Hung delves into the personal and cultural aspects of her life, challenging the stereotypes and prejudices that often plague the British Chinese community. Her memoirs, a blend of non-fiction and biography, offer a unique perspective on immigration and emigration, and the complexities of regional and ethnic identities.

    The Isolated Presidency

    How powerful is the President of the United States? For many scholars, this is a question that can be answered only by considering factors outside the office itself, such as the president's popularity, personal clout, political talents, or institutional relationships. 
     
     
     
    In The Isolated Presidency, Jordan T. Cash reframes this question to instead ask what authority is available to all presidents. Drawing on the Constitution itself, Cash argues that the presidency possesses an internal logic derived from its structure, duties, and powers which not only grants the president a unique institutional perspective, but also provides the president with considerable agency and discretion in pursuing agendas. 
     
     
     
    To gain a clear view of how the Constitution creates a baseline of authority that is available to all presidents, Cash examines the "isolated presidents"—presidents who were unelected, faced divided government, and were opposed by major factions of their own political parties. Stripped of all external supports, these presidents were left with nothing but their constitutional authority to rely on. Through three case studies of isolated presidents, Cash illustrates how the Constitution creates an empowering logic within the presidency which orients presidential behavior and grants every president significant power and agency.
