The truth is, if advertising succeeds in keeping us on our current trajectory, there may not be a tomorrow.In Badvertising, Andrew Simms and Leo Murray raise the alarm about an industry that is making us both unhealthy and unhappy, and that is driving the planet to the precipice of environmental collapse in the process.What is the psychological impact of being barraged by thousands of prompts to buy things every day How does the commercialisation of our public spaces weaken our sense of belonging How are car manufacturers, airlines and oil companies lobbying to weaken climate action Examining the devastating impact of advertising on our minds and the planet, Badvertising also crucially explores what we can do to change things for the better.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A very readable and meticulous take-down that will be seen as a must-read source on left-wing politics' - Paul Le Blanc, author of LeninLove it or hate it, it's hard to deny that British Trotskyism created some fascinating stories. Finding themselves increasingly irrelevant in modern politic…s, these political sects often became twisted aberrations of Comrade Trotsky's ideals. Gerry Healy's Workers Revolutionary Party was no exception.This new biography tells the story of Healy's life, picking apart fact from fiction, to reveal a man rotten to the core with authoritarian tendencies. Saturating the party with his personality, Healy took advantage of his comrades' trust and revolutionary zeal, eventually forcing a split in 1985.This is a tragic story in the history of Communism, wracked with accounts of abuse, collaboration with the state and vicious infighting. It also reveals the dangers of male-dominated political movements, secular cults, and celebrity culture, and is an important reminder of what can happen when a working-class movement is betrayed from within.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'I loved this book . this is a history we can all connect with and be inspired by' - Josie Long, comedian'The epic story of this universal symbol, told with passion and erudition' - Liz Lochhead, poetThe red flag: there is no symbol, perhaps other than the crucifix and the crescent moon, that so man…y people have lived and died for. A standard of hope and resistance to millions, and of terror and tyranny to many. But why is the red flag red How did it come to represent the workers against the propertied class And how did it travel the world In Henry Bell's lively account, we journey around the globe and back through history, tracing the lineage of the red flag as both a material object and a symbol. The book explores the triumphs and disasters of the flag's history, its designers and makers, heroes and villains, and the utopias and wastelands that have kept the red flag flying.From its martial beginnings in Rome and France, to the raising of a blood stained flag at the Merthyr Rising and the arrival of the red flag at the Paris Commune; from the jungles of north-eastern India to the factories of Cuba; Red Threads explores how this symbol of working class power first came to be held aloft in the hands of revolutionaries; who raises it today; and its meaning for the future.
