Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The story of the seven regiments which compose the Household Division, commonly referred to as the Guards, has been often told, individually and jointly. To the world at large, the image of the Guards has been coloured by their ceremonial duties as the regiments dedicated to the protection of the sovereign - whether on duty at Buckingham Palace and Horse Guards, or at great national occasions such as The Queen's Birthday Parade, which the public know as the Trooping of the Colour. Yet in the 21st century the Guards have never been more active and engaged in their role as highly effective operational military units, whether in Bosnia, Iraq or, more recently, Afghanistan. Excellence in Action is a new, richly-illustrated publication which offers a true, wide-ranging colour portrait of the Household Division which reflects the tradition of excellence of the individual formations in the context of today's role as an elite fighting force. "Excellence in Action has been edited, designed and illustrated with all the panache and professionalism of the regiments themselves" - Soldier Magazine, June 2008 "Excellence in Action is as good as its word .This is an analysis of a unique institution, which is both interesting and skilfully written . .Excellence in Action - but also excellence in production." - Maj-Gen Sir Evelyn Webb Carter, Country Life, June 2008 "Excellence in Action is a splendid, extraordinarily successful book, a real triumph, and cannot be recommended too highly." - Guards Magazine, Summer 2008.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In a century that has seen the role of women in both domestic and public life change irrevocably, the role of the Women's Institute in effecting change has often gone unappreciated. From the barracking of Tony Blair at their AGM in 2000, through the extraordinary story of the WI Calendar Girls, and after a hundred years of campaigning and solidarity, the WI is enjoying a resurgence in popularity among younger city-dwelling women, while remaining firmly rooted in its rural origins. Women's Century celebrates the WI's centenary in 2015, calling attention to the indispensable role it has played in the development of women's rights. From its establishment in a 1915 Britain suffering the rigours of war in Europe, the WI has become the UK's most popular women's organisation, playing a crucial role in encouraging women's education and equal pay, prison reform and, more recently, AIDS awareness and fair trade. Focusing on powerful images of the WI and its work, with a foreword by HRH The Duchess of Cornwall, and preface by Julie Summers, the book tells its story to a new generation of men and women, whose forebears 100 years ago could never have imagined the force their fledgling new organisation would become.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Vincent's Club was founded in 1863 above Vincent's the printers at 90 The High by the notably unconventional undergraduate oarsman Walter Bradford Woodgate of Brasenose College. Woodgate's vision was to bring together Oxford's leading one hundred sportsmen and, particularly, all-round characters, his 'originals', reflecting the founder's own lively disregard for convention. Vincent's, in Woodgate's own phrase, 'at once acquired a special prestige, which has never left it'. At its centenary in 1963, Vincent's members included the Prime Minister of the day, Harold Macmillan, his successor later that year, Alec Douglas-Home, and sportsmen such as the Olympian gold-medal winner and King of Norway, Olav V. In Vincent's: 1863 - 2013, Simon Lee has assembled a richly entertaining account of superhuman sporting feats, wild eccentricities, fascinating anecdotes and connections, as well as accounts of indomitable courage and endurance by and about Vincent's individuals. He identifies two great eras in the early history - that of the Pioneers (1863-1913), leading participants in the explosion of codified British sports in the mid-19th century, and that of the Heroes of two world wars and a hatful of Olympic medals (1913-63). At the same time, he shows convincingly that in the last five decades Vincent's members have continued to distinguish themselves well beyond their University careers at the highest level, whether in sport, the armed services, diplomacy, business, academia or politics - such as the new Prime Minister of Australia, elected in the Club's 150th year, as well as an earlier Australian Prime Minister who led the current Opposition party to four federal election successes in 1983, 1984, 1987 and 1990. With a cast composed of Prime Ministers, Presidents, ambassadors, Vice-Chancellors, international sporting champions, at least one Head of a Secret Service, CEOs and entrepreneurs, and not forgetting a walk-on part by the Beatles, this is a book which enshrines the ethos and spirit of the Club as it was, as it is, and as it will continue to be.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. From a school for just a handful of pupils founded in the backstreets of Cripplegate to one of the giants of the educational world, the story of the first 300 years of The Lady Eleanor Holles School is both remarkable and fascinating. Written by Elizabeth Hossain, a highly respected former History teacher and keen local historian, 'Grace and Integrity': A Portrait of The Lady Eleanor Holles School, 1711-2011 charts the development of the school, following its moves from Redcross Street in the City to Hackney and then to Hampton, its changing fortunes, significant events in its history, and the personalities who helped forge the unique character of the school from its founding to the present day. Much of the early history of the school has been newly researched for this book and has underlined the importance of LEH and its pioneering teachers in the transformational women's education movement of the 19th century. This pioneering spirit is still with the school today. As well as being a celebration of LEH's history, the book will capture the 'LEH Experience' of recent years. Through informative text, beautiful imagery, newly-commissioned photography and reminiscences from alumnae, staff, and current pupils, the vibrant community which makes the school so special will be brought to life.

Today the one thousand or so pupils live in eight boys' and five girls' houses.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Many Cambridge colleges are old. Many of them are distinguished. Many have featured in attractive history books telling the story of their foundation, their early history, and their ancient architecture. All these things are true of Pembroke. This book is about Pembroke, but not its distant past. It is, instead, about the Pembroke that its current members have known and shaped over the last seven decades. It paints a portrait of Pembroke as a community of human beings - and the odd cat! Pembroke In Our Time is a social history of the Pembroke experience since the Second World War. It looks at how the college has grown - in numbers, in ambition, in international reach. It takes an affectionate but candid look at how it works: at its finances, its government, its kitchens, its yearly routines and customs. And at the parts that don't always work: its failed building plans and occasional rows. Editors: Colin Gilbraith and Catharine Walston. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Eight hundred years ago King John of England was forced to seal a document of historic importance. As the first charter to grant individual liberties under the rule of law, protecting the people against tyranny, Magna Carta is the most influential and far-reaching legal text the world has ever known. Magna Carta was serially reinterpreted by later generations, becoming a totem in fierce political debates on the liberties of the people - it became a sacred text for English puritans of the Civil War, for the American patriots of the War of Independence, and for all those in the English-speaking world who have striven to build democratic rights and freedoms in the post-colonial age. For this book, published with the official support of the UK Magna Carta Trust and marking the eight hundredth anniversary of the charter's first issue, Professor Nicholas Vincent is joined by a range of experts on Magna Carta from across the world to reflect on the circumstances of its genesis and its enduring significance.

As they enter their second century of operation, the CWGC Commissioners and staff around the world remain dedicated to holding high the torch of remembrance, conserving these special places so that the memories of those we look after are never lost to time. This guidebook is intended to show you some of the CWGC's treasures - to tell you more about a well-loved organisation and who they commemorate. It reviews the records and archives from the last century, explores the top CWGC sites alongside detailed maps (including Essex Farm Cemetery, Belgium; the Thiepval Memorial, France; Kohima War Cemetery, India; Tower Hill Memorial UK and more), highlights places not easily reached - and those most challenging to maintain - and summarises a view for the future.
