Dazzling, passionate nature writing – a celebration of Britain’s woods and forests and a rousing call to fight for them A Guardian Best Nature Book of the Year I loved it. Tom Holland, co-host of The Rest is History The magic and mystery of the woods are embedded in culture, from ancient folklore to modern literature. They offer us refuge: a place to play, a place to think. They are the generous providers of timber and energy. They let us dream of other ways of living. Yet we now face a future where taking a walk in the woods is consigned to the tales we tell our children. Immersing himself in the beauty of woodland Britain, Peter Fiennes explores our long relationship with the woods and the sad and violent story of how so many have been lost. Just as we need them, our woods need us too. But who, if anyone, is looking out for them? *** ‘A passionate ramble through Britain’s complicated relationship with its woodland.’ Daily Mail ‘Extraordinary… Fiennes’s book winningly combines autobiography, literary history and nature writing. It feels set to become a classic of the genre.’ Observer ‘Steeped in poetry, science, folklore, history and magic, Fiennes is an eloquent, elegiac chronicler of copses, coppicing and the wildwood.’ Sunday Express

Once conduits to new music, frequently bypassing the corporate music industry in ways now done more easily via the Internet, record stores championed the most local of economic enterprises, allowing social mobility to well up from them in unexpected ways. Record stores speak volumes about our relationship to shopping, capitalism, and art. This book takes a comprehensive look at what individual record stores meant to individual people, but also what they meant to communities, to musical genres, and to society in general. What was their role in shaping social practices, aesthetic tastes, and even, loosely put, ideologies? From women-owned and independent record stores, to Reggae record shops in London, to Rough Trade in Paris, this book takes on a global and interdisciplinary approach to evaluating record stores. It collects stories and memories, and facts about a variety of local stores that not only re-centers the record store as a marketplace of ideas, but also explore and celebrate a neglected personal history of many lives.

This edition collects both volumes of Modernity Britain for the first timeFollowing Austerity Britain and Family Britain, the third volume in David Kynaston s landmark social history of post-war Britain Triumphant ... A historian of peerless sensitivity and curiosity about the lives of individuals Financial Times This superb history captures the birth pangs of modern Britain ... It is a part of Kynastonâ ™s huge achievement that such moments of insight and pleasure should accompany what has become a monumental history of our recent past The Times____________________David Kynastonâ ™s history of post-war Britain has so far taken us from the radically reforming Labour governments of the late 1940s in Austerity Britain and through the growing prosperity of Family Britainâ ™s more placid 1950s. Now Modernity Britain 1957â “62 sees the coming of a new Zeitgeist as Kynaston gets up close to a turbulent era in which the speed of social change accelerated. The late 1950s to early 1960s was an action-packed, often dramatic time in which the contours of modern Britain began to take shape. These were the â ˜never had it so goodâ ™ years, when the Carry On film series got going, and films like Room at the Top and the first soaps like Coronation Street and Z Cars brought the working class to the centre of the national frame; when CND galvanised the progressive middle class; when â ˜youthâ ™ emerged as a cultural force; when the Notting Hill riots made race and immigration an inescapable reality; and when â ˜meritocracyâ ™ became the buzz word of the day. In this period, the traditional norms of morality were perceived as under serious threat (Lady Chatterleyâ ™s Lover freely on sale after the famous case), and traditional working-class culture was changing (wakes weeks in decline, the end of the maximum wage for footballers).The greatest change, though, concerned urban redevelopment: city centres were being yanked into the age of the motor car, slum clearance was intensified, and the skyline became studded with brutalist high-rise blocks. Some of this transformation was necessary, but too much would destroy communities and leave a harsh, fateful legacy. This profoundly important story of the transformation of Britain as it arrived at the brink of a new world is brilliantly told through diaries, letters newspapers and a rich haul of other sources and published in one magnificent paperback volume for the first time.

This new, thoroughly updated second edition of Bradt s Paddling Britain remains the definitive guide to stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking and canoeing - increasingly popular waterborne activities that explore British coastlines and inland waterways. Written by Lizzie Carr (aka Lizzie Outside, Britain s best known paddleboarder), it showcases Britain s 50 best places to enjoy recreational paddling from Cornwall to Norfolk, Cumbria and the Cairngorms. Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), in particular, is sweeping across Britain, giving people the opportunity to explore waterways ranging from city rivers to remote and untouched areas that would otherwise be left inaccessible. Whether you re looking for a nice day out, a weekend adventure or a more daring paddleboarding challenge, Bradt s Paddling Britain will inspire and inform.

Described in loving detail and with gentle humour, each location contains practical information about how to find these distinctive spots and what to expect on your journey. With Bradt s Paddling Britain, you can paddle between two of the Scilly Isles in under 10 minutes, or kayak across the UK s highest and longest aqueduct. Alternatively, you can paddle along Pembrokeshire s idyllic coast, visit the Lake District s sole inhabited island, which opens just five days a year, or paddle in self-indulgent tranquillity through the hustle and bustle of London. Alongside detailed routes for each location, plus tips on wildlife and secret spots, Paddling Britain advises on where to stay and eat, getting there, and when to go. It also provides the low-down on everything you need to know for successful and enjoyable stand-up paddleboarding, from safety tips to kit, weather watching to paddling responsibly.The author, Lizzie Carr, says: this book responds to the countless questions I receive from paddleboarders looking to explore new places and get new experiences from their SUP. Whether people want to take their families for a weekend adventure or enjoy a camping getaway with friends, Paddling Britain aims to answer these questions and inspire people to get outside and explore the UK water scene both coastal and inland.

A rare writer with the courage to tell Britain some home truths about itself and where it s headed. A much needed book . - Ian Dunt What Britain needs at the moment is not to be talked up or talked down, but simply a sense of itself that s underpinned by clarity and honesty... This is exactly what Michael Peel provides in this persuasive, good-humoured book. - Jonathan Coe A wake-up call for those still under the illusion that Great Britain plc punches above its weight . - Chris Mullin, author of A Very British Coup Entertaining and smart. - Geoff Norcott Michael Peel is a top class thinker and writer. This is a necessary book as well as an extremely entertaining one. - Simon Kuper Sharp, witty and eye-opening. As Peel convincingly argues, we can do so much better. - Matthew Parker, author of One Fine Day: Britain s Empire On the BrinkUPDATED EDITION FOLLOWING 2024 ELECTIONHow do you see Britain? That might depend on your point of view, and as long time British foreign correspondent, Michael Peel has come to understand, it can look very different from outside.It s tempting to think of the UK as a fundamentally stable and successful nation. But events of the past few years, from Brexit to exposés of imperial history, have begun to spark fierce public debates about whether that is true. Is Britain, just a marginal northern European island nation, marked by injustices, corruption and with a bloody history of slavery, repression and looting? And yet UK politics, media, and public opinion live constantly in the shadow of old myths, Second World War era nostalgia, and a belief in supposedly core British values of tolerance, decency and fair play. British politicians regularly exploit a damaging complacency that holds that everything will turn out okay, because, in Britain, it always does.In WHAT EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT BRITAIN, Michael Peel digs into the national consciousness with the perspective of distance to pull apart the ways in which we British have become unmoored from crucial truths about ourselves. He shows us that from many perspectives we are no different from other countries whose own national delusions have seen them succumb to abuses of power, increased poverty and divisive conflict.The battle over Britain s narrative is the struggle for its future and its place in the world. So, how do we escape the trick mirror - and see ourselves as we really are?

A visionary anthology that examines and reimagines the archive as a form of collective record-keeping, featuring work by Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Douglas Kearney, Brenda Shaughnessy, Mahogany L. Brown, and many new and emerging voices.Inspired by Naima Yael Tokunow’s research into the Black American record (and its purposeful scarceness), Permanent Record asks, what do we gain when we engage with our flawed cultural systems of remembrance? How does questioning and creating a deep relationship to the archive, and in some cases, spinning thread from air where there is none, allow us to prefigure the world that we want? Including reflections on identity and language, diasporic and first generation lived experiences, and responses to the ways the record upholds harm and provides incomplete understandings, Permanent Record hopes to reframe what gets to be a part of collective remembrance, exploring “possibilities for speculating beyond recorded multiplicity.”

The enormous hoard of beautiful gold military objects found in a field in Staffordshire has focused huge attention on the mysterious world of 7th and 8th century Britain. Clearly the product of a sophisticated, wealthy, highly militarized society, the objects beg innumerable questions about how we are to understand the people who once walked across the same landscape we inhabit, who are our ancestors and yet left such a slight record of their presence. Britain after Rome brings together a wealth of research and imaginative engagement to bring us as close as we can hope to get to the tumultuous centuries between the departure of the Roman legions and the arrival of Norman invaders nearly seven centuries later. As towns fell into total decay, Christianity disappeared and wave upon wave of invaders swept across the island, it can be too easily assumed that life in Britain became intolerable - and yet this is the world in which modern languages and political arrangements were forged, a number of fascinating cultures rose and fell and tantalizing glimpses, principally through the study of buildings and burials, can be had of a surprising and resilient place. The result of a lifetime of work, Robin Fleming s major new addition to the Penguin History of Britain could not be more opportune. A richly enjoyable, varied and surprising book, Britain after Rome allows its readers to see Britain s history in a quite new light.

⠘⠦detailed and fair.⠙ - The Spectator⠘An exhaustive, impressive achievement.⠙ - The TabletAs a minority, Jews in Britain are confident, their institutions competent and mature. And yet within Jewish life in Britain there is a pervading sense of anxiety.Jews in Britain have risen to the top of nearly every profession, they run major companies, sit at the top tables in politics, make their voices heard in the media, are prominent in science and the arts. Of course there is serious poverty and gross disadvantage, just as there is in any community. But on any objective measure, British Jews have done well. Particularly when we consider where they came from, the impoverished, often oppressed lives that many Jews lived in Eastern Europe and the Ottoman Empire less than 200 years ago.Jews have lived in Britain longer than any other minority. They⠙ve been here so long, and are so ingrained into the national fabric, that they are often not considered to be a minority at all. Until a periodic outburst of antisemitism or a flare up in the Middle East, or both, turns the spotlight on them once again.British Jews have another distinction too. They have lived safely and securely, continuously, in Britain longer than any other modern Jewish community has lived anywhere else in the world. They have organised themselves in a way that serves as a model both to more recent immigrant communities in Britain and to Jewish communities elsewhere. Being British, they wear their distinctions lightly, they don⠙t trumpet their achievements, in fact they rarely make a noise at all. But they give back quietly: established Jewish organisations help more recently arrived minorities to create their own structures, charities draw on the Jewish experience of dislocation and persecution to help oppressed people in the developing world, philanthropists support causes far beyond the boundaries of their own communities.Britain⠙s Jews is a challenging look at Jewish life in the UK today. Based on conversations with Jews from all walks of life, it depicts, in ways that are at times disturbing, at other times inspiring, what it is like to be Jewish in 21st century Britain. And why Jewish life is still a subject of fascination.

From the Great Exhibition s showcasing of British national achievement in 1851 to the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in Stratford in 2012 and on to Brexit, an insightful exploration of the transformation of modern BritainThis revised and updated fourth and final volume in the concise Brief History of Britain series begins in the specially-constructed Crystal Palace, three times the length of St Paul s Cathedral, in Hyde Park at the beginning of the second half of the nineteenth century. The Great Exhibition it housed marked a high point of British national achievement, at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution, at the heart of a great empire, with Queen Victoria still to reign for fifty years. It was a time of confidence in the future, and exuberant patriotism for Britain s role in it.The beginning of the Second World War in 1939 marks a turning point because of the great change it heralded in Britain s global standing. At its peak, protected by the world s greatest navy, the British Empire stretched from Australasia to Canada, from Hong Kong and India to South Africa, and from Jamaica to the Falklands. Now the empire is no more: a fundamental change not only for the world, but also for Britain. The Second World War had been won, but it had exhausted Britain and marked the beginning of its national decline.Black links cultural and political developments closely - transport, health, migration and economic and demographic factors - in order to make clear how porous and changeable the manifestations of national civilisation can be, and to make sense of themes such as the triumph of town over country, Britain s international clout and the shift from the dominance of the market at the turn of the nineteenth century to the growing significance of the state. Importantly, he also looks at how public history has presented the nation s past, and how the changing and different ways we look at that past are central aspects of our shared history.

The summer of 1940 marked a pivotal moment in the Second World War. Following the Fall of France, Britain and the Commonwealth stood alone against the threat of Nazi Germany. With the prospect of invasion looming and Hitler⠙s forces undefeated, the outlook appeared bleak. As the new Prime Minister, Winston Churchill predicted, the Battle of Britain is about to begin. Under the leadership of Reichmarshall Hermann Göring, the Luftwaffe sought to destroy the RAF and secure aerial supremacy, but Fighter Command⠙s young aircrew⠔immortalised by Churchill as The Few ⠔resisted with great determination. Over sixteen weeks, from 10 July to 31 October 1940, nearly 3,000 aircrew fought, with 544 losing their lives. Their sacrifice was supported by the RAF, Allied forces, and the civilian population, all playing vital roles in the struggle. In his eight-volume series, Dilip Sarkar MBE, FRHistS, explores the Battle of Britain with a meticulous evidence-based approach. Drawing on primary sources, Sarkar challenges popular narratives while providing comprehensive day-by-day accounts of every raid, squadron action, and strategic operation, including Bomber and Coastal Command activities and the impact on the Home Front. Produced in collaboration with the Battle of Britain Memorial Trust, this series offers the most up-to-date research available. This final volume focuses on how the Battle of Britain has been commemorated over time and examines its cultural and historical significance. Concluding with a comprehensive directory of memorials, museums, and sites related to the battle, the book serves as an essential guide for those interested in exploring these locations and connecting with the dramatic events of 1940.

Britain s Brexit voters are right. They have been shamefully neglected. But the answer is to change Britain, not to leave Europe. This book sets out how we can radically improve the lives of people and communities shut out from prosperity.The EU, despite its frailties and strains, is a success story.The advantages of leaving are illusory: no gains in trade from deals with protectionist China and the United States can compensate for what is being lost in Europe. Britain is weakening a pillar of the world s diplomatic and trade order at the same time as weakening itself - an act of self-harm, especially when so many countries are retreating from democracy, free trade and progressive values.In Saving Britain Will Hutton and Andrew Adonis set out a bold plan to transform Britain and fight for Europe as a force for good at home and abroad.

A study of the conditions of being a citizen, belonging and democracy in suburban Britain, this book focuses on understanding how a community takes on the social responsibility and pressures of being a good citizen through what they call ?stupid? events, festivals and parades. Building a community is perceived to be an important and necessary act to enable resilience against the perceived threats of neoliberal socio-economic life such as isolation, selfishness and loss of community. Citizenship, Democracy and Belonging in Suburban Britain{::}** explores how authoritative knowledge is developed, maintained and deployed by this group as they encounter other ?social projects?, such as the local council planning committee or academic projects researching participation in urban planning.The activists, who call themselves the ?Seething Villagers?, model their community activity on the mythical ancient village of Seething where moral tales of how to work together, love others and be a community are laid out in the Seething Tales. These tales include Seething ?facts? such as the fact that the ancient Mountain of Seething was destroyed by a giant. The assertion of fact is central to the mechanisms of play and the refusal of expertise at the heart of the Seething community. The book also stands as a reflexive critique on anthropological practice, as the author examines their role in mobilising knowledge and speaking on behalf of othersCitizenship, Democracy and Belonging in Suburban Britain is of interest to anthropologists, urban studies scholars, geographers and those interested in the notions of democracy, inclusion, citizenship and anthropological practice.Praise for Citizenship, Democracy and Belonging in Suburban Britain [This book s] wider significance is in drawing attention to the practical labour and contested knowledges that are intrinsic to community-building.

In this unprecedented series exploring the big story of the Battle of Britain, renowned historian Dilip Sarkar investigates the wider context and intimate details of the epic aerial conflict in the summer of 1940 from all sides. In so doing, he gives due acknowledgement to the roles of Bomber and Coastal Commands in addition to the fabled Few of Fighter Command. This unique narrative draws upon a lifetime of research, the author having enjoyed a long relationship with survivors and the relatives of casualties; his innumerable interviews and first-hand accounts collated, in addition to privileged access to personal papers, providing essential human interest to this inspirational story. In this the fifth volume, Battle of Britain: Target London, Dilip continues to examine the fighting on a day-by-day, combat-by-combat basis from 7 September to 17 September 1940. It was on 7 September that the Luftwaffe changed tack, and instead of continuing its successful strikes on 11 Group and its airfields, switched its focus to the round-the-clock bombing of London. According to popular narrative, this move lost the Germans the Battle of Britain, providing Fighter Command an opportunity to recover. This, however, is not necessarily the opinion of certain German scholars â “ all of which is explored by the author. The events of 7 September also saw the 12 Group Duxford Wing go into action for the first time, the effects of which are analysed. This review confirms that the formation massively over claimed and was not, therefore, as successful as believed at the time by certain senior commanders and politicians. Likewise, the events of 15 September 1940, long accepted as â ˜Battle of Britain Dayâ ™, are often stated to represent a great turning point in the aerial fighting of the summer of 1940 â “ but is this correct? Two days later, Hitler postponed Operation Sealion, the invasion of the United Kingdom, indefinitely. Could, therefore, this day be considered the date the Battle of Britain really ended?Through diligent research, combined with crucial official primary sources and personal papers, Dilip unravels many myths, often challenging the accepted narrative. This is not simply another dull record of combat losses and claims â “ far from it. Drawing upon unique first-hand accounts from a wide-range of combatants and eyewitnesses, along with Daily Home Intelligence Reports and numerous other primary sources, this book forms part of what is likely to be the first and last such comprehensively woven account of this epic air battle.

Many showed grit to make their mark on Britain after fleeing persecution or war abroad. All achieved their success through talent and hard work. 100 Immigrants Who Made Britain Great is a stirring gift for any teenager curious about how modern Britain came into being. Many of them arrived in Britain penniless, knowing little or no English. They succeeded through their hard work and ingenuity – and their legacies shape society. Without Michael Marks, we wouldn’t have Marks Spencer. Without Stelios Haji-Ioannou, holidaymakers would not have jetted abroad on easyJet. Without Ludwig Guttmann, there would be no Paralympics. Without so many others featured in this book, the United Kingdom would be drastically different and immeasurably poorer. Each entry contains an original illustration and a profile of each individual and their incredible achievements. This book is an ideal accompaniment to Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls, 100 Great Black Britons and Amazing Muslims Who Changed the World. Tying in with Black History Month, this book is a great source of inspiring stories around immigration all year round.

Nutric Acid Možná jedna z nejúčinnějších nástrah na světě, která byla pro lov kaprů vyvinuta. Nutric Acid jsem vyvíjel v dobách, kdy jsem rybařil na štěrkopískovnách a podobných typech vod. Tyto lokality jsou si velmi blízké téměř po celém světě a já se snažil kaprům dát maximum přirozených ingrediencí, které se nacházejí v jejich ekosystému. Jsou to například pryskyřice z borovic, směs bylin nebo bentické organizmy vyskytující se v každé pískovně po celém světě. Nutric Acid je kaprům velmi přirozený a jeho pachový signál stimuluje kapry ke krmení. Sprejově sušená tekutá potrava All Amino Nutric je v základové směsi v 20 % zastoupení, což z boiliesu dělá doslova magnet pro kapry. Směska enzymů a bakteriálně upravených ingrediencí zase zaručuje dvakrát rychlejší pochod krmení trávicím traktem, než tomu je například u běžných bentických organizmů. Nutric Acid je vhodný na všechny typy vod, ale na štěrkopískovnách nemá konkurenci. Boilies je vhodné k celoročnímu použití. Víte, že: Nutric Acid je na trhu od roku 2011 a za tu dobu má na kontě nespočet osobních rekordů téměř po celém světě? Black Protein Černý zázrak z dílny LK Baits! Neexistuje žádná zaručená nástraha na kapry… Díky Bohu! Ale jsou nástrahy, které jsou mnohem účinnější než ty ostatní, a především chytají pravidelně. SpiceShrimp z ekonomické řady Euro Economic se stal jedním z nejpoužívanějších a nejúčinnějších krmných boilies (i kvůli nízké pořizovací ceně) v Evropě. Super! Jsme si moc dobře vědomi, která ingredience je v boilie Spice Shrimp tak výjimečná. Jednoho dne jsme si položili otázku, jak by chytalo boilies, které by obsahovalo několikanásobek této složky? Po dvou letech zdokonalování už tak dokonalé receptury přicházíme na trh s nástrahou, se kterou budete vždy o krok napřed! Boilies je vhodné všude tam, kde je vysoký rybářský tlak a ostatní nástrahy vás zklamaly. Díky složkám, které minimalizují absorpci cizích zápachů, doporučujeme boilies i na bahnité dno. Vhodné k celoročnímu použití. Víte, že: Boilies Black Protein obsahuje výtažek z petržele, pórku a medvědího česneku? Record Corn Kukuřice je bezpochyby nejpoužívanější návnadou po celém světě a neexistuje snad ryba, která by se s touto pochutinou nesetkala a nepovažovala ji za přirozenou potravu. Dlouhá léta jsme pracovali na technologii a způsobu, jak vyzískat ty nejlepší látky z kukuřice a použít je s úspěchem do boilies. Vlastní technologií získáváme z mladé mléčné kukuřice to nejlepší a vše umocňujeme nektary a výtažky z lučního kvítí. Spojitost lučních bylin, květového medu, kukuřice a především včelího pylu dělá z tohoto druhu boilies jednu z nejatraktivnějších a nutričně nejbohatších přírodních nástrah na sladké bázi. Boilies je dle našich požadavků přírodně stabilizováno za pomoci odborníků přes výrobu medu, speciálně Ing. Danielem Prokešem (Český výzkumný ústav). Produkty RECORD CORN mohou reakcí přírodních látek měnit odstín barvy a rozhodně to není na škodu. Boilies je vhodné k celoročnímu použití a na všechny typy vod. Svou úlohu nejlépe plní na lokalitách, kde se vydatně krmí kukuřicí. Víte, že: 1 kg Record Corn obsahuje 80 gramů smíšeného včelího pylu, který se nutričně vyrovná půl kilogramu hovězího masa a nebo 7 vejcím? Během testování se na náš medovo-kukuřičný boilies nachytalo neuvěřitelné množství velkých kaprů včetně nejtěžšího kapra světa? Kapr vážil 47,8 kg!
