Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A pioneering biography of George Orwell told through moments of everyday life 'A fascinating, oblique take. Revelatory and very insightful.' William Boyd, author of The Predicament When we think about Orwell, we imagine an angular, moustachioed sceptic crouched over a typewriter, who between…puffs on his cigarette composes effortless streams of prose, unadorned but explosive. We see a man with 'Important Things to Say' about: the slow creep of authoritarianism; the consequences of all-seeing tech; the fragility of truth. Much less often do we see him as a person caught up in the business of everyday life. And yet Orwell's work thrums with the quotidian: the smell of boiled cabbage, the chill of an unheated flat in early spring, the rumbling of old pipes. A Bright Cold Day reveals how the principles that govern us begin in the mundane. From waking and showering to breakfast, work, lunch, the pub, sleep and dreaming, Orwell was never dulled to the routines of living. And in the details of the day, we can understand how power, money, freedom and choice play out, not just for Orwell's literary characters, but for us all. \*\*\* 'Summons one of the biggest questions we face nowadays, the relationship between fiction and reality.' Andrew O'Hagan, author of Caledonian Road 'A clever, offbeat history of mid-century Britain through George Orwell's eyes.' Helen Lewis 'An astute and intimate portrait of George Orwell.' Dorian Lynskey, author of The Ministry of Truth 'Beautifully written. urgent and compelling.' Emma Smith, author of Portable Magic.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Midnight, 30 April 1926. Mineowners lock out a million miners. In response, British workers across the country down their tools. Britain's first General Strike has begun.The government feared that the country was teetering on the brink of revolution. Trade union leaders thought they'd be shot… by the end of the week. For nine days, trains, buses and trams stopped running. Lorries could only leave the docks protected by military convoy. In Birmingham, the police hunted down city councillors, and in London they raided trade union headquarters. And for those in the coalfields, from South Wales to Scotland, the strike would not last nine days, but nine months.On the strike's centenary, Edd Mustill tells the story of why millions of workers came out on strike, and why the government did all it could to quash them.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Music: it's not only the soundtrack to our lives, but shapes who we are - conjuring memories, emotions, dreams, fantasies'Elegant and accessible.' Daniel J. Levitin, author of This Is Your Brain on MusicBut why is it so evocative There's no logical reason why a rousing, percussive tune should invoke… swashbuckling pirates, or a slow melody on the flute remind you of a summer day from childhood. And yet, as research shows, it consistently does - and what's more, if you hear pirates, others likely hear pirates as well.For all that listening to music can feel like an intensely subjective experience, it holds objective, measurable power over the way our brains function. Exploring the strange and magical science of music perception, musician and psychologist Elizabeth Margulis examines the nature of 'musical daydreams'. From the intense link between music and memory (music is more likely to prompt Proustian-style flashbacks than food, madeleines or otherwise) to why you keep returning to the music you loved at sixteen - and for that matter, the music your parents loved at sixteen - Transported reveals the compelling new science behind why music is so integral to who we are.'Timely. there couldn't be a better moment to explore the power of music to free our minds, inspire our imaginations, and awaken lost memories.' Renée Fleming'Fascinating. Her book is the message in a bottle, urging us to connect more deeply with our inattention.' Wall Street Journal.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Could you sit across from a murderer, listen to their crimes, empathise and help them change Welcome to the Probation Service.Elizabeth Baxter has heard it all. Thieves, rapists, drug dealers, burglars, murderers, abusers and arsonists they've all confided in her 'Remarkable' THE TIMES Some are hard…er to shake than others. There's sweet, baby-faced Stella who hurled a brick through her ex's window and threatened to cut off his well, you get the picture. Jak, who burned down his grandfather's shed and prized model railway. And who could forget Steve who set up a complex marmite-based distillery in his cell. The moonshine wasn't for drinking though, but for cleaning. He remains, in Elizabeth's professional opinion, Britain's most fastidious murderer. Recalling her twenty-five years in Britain's probation service, Elizabeth Baxter offers a fresh perspective on care within the criminal justice system. Warm and humane, A Murderer's Guide to Cleaning pays tribute to the work of probation officers everywhere, who not only protect the public, but often act as the final safety net for society's most vulnerable, from teenage asylum seekers to survivors of domestic abuse.
