'Provocative, clear-sighted, richly textured and wonderfully readable, this is the indispensable biography of Churchill for the post-Brexit 2020s' DAVID KYNASTON 'Stimulating, erudite and above all entertaining' ROBERT HARRIS In A.J.P. Taylor's words, Churchill was 'the saviour of his country' when he became prime minister in 1940. Yet he was also a deeply flawed character, whose personal ambition would cloud his political judgement. While Churchill's Shadow gives due credit to the achievements, it also reveals some spectacular failures; indeed, it appears that for every Finest Hour there were many more Gallipolis. But this book goes beyond the reappraisal of a life and a career: it reveals that Churchill has cast a complex shadow over post-war British history and contemporary politics - from the 'Churchillian stance' of Tony Blair taking the country to war in Iraq to the delusion of a special relationship with the United States to the f...

In The Devil and Philosophy, 34 philosophers explore questions about one of the most recognizable and influential characters (villains?) of all time. From Roman Polanski's The Ninth Gate to J. R. R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion to Bram Stoker's Dracula to Darth Vader to Al Pacino's iconic performance in The Devil's Advocate, this book demonstrates that a little devil goes a long way. From humorous appearances, as in Kevin Smith's film Dogma and Chuck Palahniuk's novels Damned and Doomed, to more villainous appearances, such as Gabriel Byrne's cold outing as Satan in End of Days, The Devil in Philosophy proves that the Devil comes in many forms. Are there any good arguments for the actual existence of the Devil? Does demonic evil thrive in Gotham City? Can humans really be accountable for all evil? Which truths about the Devil are actual facts? Is Milton correct, in that the Devil believes he is doing good? Through the lenses of Jung, Kant, Kundera, ...

We've all felt strongly about a work of art haven't we? Whether it was wishing Guernica had a bit of colour in or Mona Lisa cracked more of a smile, some of us go to greater lengths than others to deal with our opinions. Some go so far as to vandalise a work of art but that's getting a bit carried away even if it does make you feel better for a while. The Deface-it-yourself Art Book solves any problems and allows you to happily 'improve' a variety of artworks from the comfort (and safety) of your armchair. Using the supplied pens you'll be making your point in less time than it takes Brian Sewell to denounce Banksy. Then you can wipe clean and start again...

What happens when everything falls away, when those you call on in times of need are themselves calling out for rescue? In his highly anticipated second collection, Chen Chen continues his exploration of family, both blood and chosen, examining what one inherits and what one invents, as a queer Asian American living through an era of Trump, mass shootings and the COVID-19 pandemic. With unexpected playfulness and irrepressible humour, these anarchic poems celebrate life, despite all that would crush aliveness. Hybrid in form and set in New England, West Texas and a landlocked province of China, among other places, Your Emergency Contact Has Experienced an Emergency refuses neat categorisations and pat answers. Instead, the book offers an insatiable curiosity about how it is we keep finding ways to hold one another. Chen Chen's debut When I Grow Up I Want to Be a List of Further Possibilities was published in the UK by Bloodaxe in 2019. ...

Pray, Believing may best be summed up in the words of Jesus Christ as recorded by St. Mark 11.24 "Therefore I tell you, whatsoever ye ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours". These words also found in the Gospels of St. Matthew and St. John are also found in the catholic letters of St. John and St. James, and are evidence of its importance to God for its pleasing attributes and to the Christian who seeks that faith which moves mountains. When embraced the Christian prayer is empowered with the awesome, humbling gift of service to God, to one's neighbors, and to one's self. This major theme is developed throughout this small book together with a definition of God's will; when waiting for God is necessary; and the root meaning of such words as "will" and "to wait" in both the Hebrew and Greek Testaments. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 14.0px 'Adobe Garamond Pro'} T...
