His finest work and one that was both symptom and engine of the concept of history from below ... Here Levellers, Diggers, Ranters, Muggletonians, the early Quakers and others taking advantage of the collapse of censorship to bid for new kinds of freedom were given centre stage Times Higher EducationIn The World Turned Upside Down Christopher Hill studies the beliefs of such radical groups as the Diggers, the Ranters, the Levellers and others, and the social and emotional impulses that gave rise to them. The relations between rich and poor classes, the part played by wandering masterless men, the outbursts of sexual freedom, the great imaginative creations of Milton and Bunyan - these and many other elements build up into a marvellously detailed and coherent portrait of this strange, sudden effusion of revolutionary beliefs. Established the concept of an English Revolution every bit as significant and potentially as radical as its French and Russian equivalents Daily Telegraph Brilliant ... marvellous erudition and sympathy David Caute, New Statesman This book will outlive our time and will stand as a notable monument to the man, the committed radical scholar, and one of the finest historians of the age The Times Literary Supplement The dean and paragon of English historians E.P.

A brilliantly arresting historical work, John Lewis Gaddis s The Cold War takes us as never before to the time when the world stood on the brink of destruction. In 1945 war came to an end. But a whole new terror was only just beginning... Here is the truth behind every spy thriller you ve read: why America and the Soviet Union became locked in a deadly stalemate; how close we came to nuclear catastrophe; what was really going on in the minds of leaders from Stalin to Mao Zedong, Ronald Reagan to Mikhail Gorbachev, how secret agents plotted and East German holidaymakers helped the Berlin Wall fall. It is a story of crisis talks and subterfuge, tyrants and power struggles - and of ordinary people changing the course of history. Gripping Len Deighton Superb ... brimful of racy incident Independent on Sunday A lively and readable history The Times Force 9 on the Richter scale Spectator John Lewis Gaddis is the Robert A. Lovett Professor of History at Yale University, and the dean of cold war historians (The New York Times). He is the author of numerous books, including Security and the American Experience, the book recently pressed on his cabinet and senior security staff by President Bush.

The Art of Cookery is the only book of its kind to have come out of an English religious community. It is also that very rare thing, a cookery book of the English 18th-century that has the author s own recipes throughout; nothing seems to have been plagiarized or borrowed from other writers. The Dean of Durham Cathedral, who employed the author, had a lavish grant for entertaining and his generous hospitality meant that his cook had to cater for all levels of society, from canons of the Cathedral with sophisticated tastes such as the gourmand Dr. Jacque Sterne, to tradesmen, poor widows, and those of even more modest status. Thacker s book keeps many pre-Reformation recipes and thus shows the gradual transition in the Cathedral s eating habits. This facsimilie is introduced by the well-known food historian Ivan Day who examines the recipes and reveals the remarkable tradition of ecclesiastical hospitality that survived at Durham for more than eight hundred years.

An eye-opening exploration of humanityâ ™s unprecedented path to global depopulation and why it s in everyone s interests to prevent it Stunning . . . essential reading Daniel H. Pink, author of DriveIf we continue as we are, with birth rates falling globally, the worldâ ™s human population will peak in the next few decades â “ and then begin a sudden and rapid decline. It would be easy to think that fewer people would be better: better for the planet, better for the people who remain. In After the Spike, two leading population economists ask us to think again.Carefully weighing the evidence and the many claims that surround this controversial subject, Dean Spears and Mike Geruso explain why depopulation is not the solution we urgently need for the climate crisis, nor will it improve lives. Far more likely is that the progress which has raised living standards so dramatically over the last two centuries will slow or even reverse. As humanityâ ™s future shrinks, it will become more fragile and less certain, and harder for us to escape from global poverty, disease and injustice.Halting this decline and stabilising the population need not mean sacrificing a greener future or reverting to past gender inequities. In fact, they argue, it can only be achieved with womenâ ™s reproductive rights and individual choice as driving forces. But if we want future generations to enjoy lives even better than our own, itâ ™s time to take seriously societyâ ™s collective task of lifting the burdens of parents and other carers.Deeply reasoned and uncompromisingly humane, After the Spike sheds important light on a dramatic shift in the human story and asks us to consider what future we should want for our planet, our children, and one another.--â ˜A remarkable blend of empirical research and philosophical argument that has challenged, and changed, my thinking about populationâ ™ Peter Singer, author of Animal Liberationâ ˜After the Spike dissolves our preconceptions through evidence, rigour and a deep compassion for allâ ™ Toby Ord, author of The Precipiceâ ˜As stirring as it is thoughtful, rigorous and morally uncompromisingâ ™ Anastasia Berg, author of What Are Children For?â ˜I had my mind blown over and over and overâ ™ Zach Weinersmith, coauthor of A City on Marsâ ˜Fascinating, thoughtful and timelyâ ™ Simon Johnson, Nobel Laureate in Economicsâ ˜The insights and rigour are matched by human and empathetic narrative throughoutâ ™ Hannah Ritchie, author of Not the End of the Worldâ ˜The most interesting and important book Iâ ™ve read in yearsâ ™ Katy Milkman, author of How to Change

FoucaultÂ’s personal and political experimentation, its ambiguous legacy, and the rise of neoliberal politicsPart intellectual history, part critical theory, The Last Man Takes LSD challenges the way we think about both Michel Foucault and modern progressive politics. One fateful day in May 1975, Foucault dropped acid in the southern California desert. In letters reproduced here, he described it as among the most important events of his life, one which would lead him to completely rework his History of Sexuality. That trip helped redirect FoucaultÂ’s thought and contributed to a tectonic shift in the intellectual life of the era. He came to reinterpret the social movements of May Â’68 and reposition himself politically in France, embracing anti-totalitarian currents and becoming a critic of the welfare state.Mitchell Dean and Daniel Zamora examine the full historical context of the turn in FoucaultÂ’s thought, which included studies of the Iranian revolution and French socialist politics, through which he would come to appreciate the possibilities of autonomy offered by a new force on the French political scene that was neither of the left nor the right: neoliberalism.

Engaging creatively with Jewish texts and history, this book explores the interplay between history, Judaism, and the environment through the prism of natural disasters. Historical case studies include earthquakes in Georgian England, floods and fires in 18th-century Germany, plague in 17th-century Italy, and natural disasters experienced by Jews living in the Ottoman Empire. Rather than seeing religion as a stumbling block or as a cause of environmental degradation, these historical cases are instead brought into conversation with related classical Jewish texts and contemporary Jewish thought. Unlike studies that interpret religious texts through traditional hermeneutical lenses, this book is distinctly interdisciplinary, contributing significantly to the fields of Jewish studies, religious studies, ecology, and environmental humanities. Chapters explore new ways to think about contemporary environmental concerns, discussing the Anthropocene, causality and temporality, global and local contexts, and proscription. Dean Phillip Bellâ ™s timely and important argument demonstrates how a new engagement with Jewish history and thought may help us to grapple with the environmental challenges of today and the future.
