Our Islands' Story / Nigel Biggar. - [miejsce nieznane] : Forum : Legimi, 2026.

Author

Biggar Nigel. Autor

Form of Work

E-booki

In recent years it has become fashionable to tell a certain kind of story about Britain. At its least offensive, this story emphasises the worst aspects of Britain's past and neglects the best. At its most damaging, it denies, demeans or distorts the very fabric of our collective inheritance. This short and balanced history of the British Isles is the distillation of two lifetimes of esteemed scholarship. It offers both a powerful antidote to contemporary cynicism about Britain's past and an uplifting reminder of what we should carry with us into the future. In Our Islands' Story, Nigel Biggar and Robert Tombs aim to tell a better story about Britain. Though not without fault, they argue, Britain's history is rich in achievements of enduring value that deserve our appreciation and care.

Reparations / Nigel Biggar. - [miejsce nieznane] : Forum : Legimi, 2025.

Author

Biggar Nigel. Autor

Form of Work

E-booki

A Telegraph Book of the Year 2025 'Compelling and timely' Tirthankar Roy 'Essential reading' David Eltis Many now claim that Western countries should pay reparations to former colonies for the lasting damage they caused, especially through slavery. Why is this claim being made now? How far does it make sense? And, more generally, how can historic wrongs be righted? Reparations removes the sloganeering from a newly-fashionable cause, sets the issue in its proper historical context, and mounts an ethical counter-argument. The natural sequel to Nigel Biggar's bestselling and widely acclaimed Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning, it makes a powerful contribution to an increasingly prominent public debate.

Lesbians / Julie Bindel. - [miejsce nieznane] : Forum : Legimi, 2025.

Bindel Julie. Autor

Form of Work

E-booki

'Bracing, nourishing and wonderfully pro-woman'Victoria Smith, author of Hags 'A big-hearted, infuriating, clever and highly entertaining read, just like the woman who wrote it' Kathleen Stock, author of Material Girls 'Personal, passionate memoir-cum-cultural commentary' New Statesman 'Excellent ... Discursive and engaging' Susanna Rustin, author of Sexed: A History of British Feminism What does it mean to be a lesbian now? Has the quest for lesbian liberation stalled, and if so, why? Part-memoir, part frontline reportage and part cultural commentary, Julie Bindel examines what defines lesbian culture, love, friendship and happiness today. She distinguishes the particular challenges facing lesbians from the very different experiences of gay men, and asks: why do lesbians so often seem to face particular hostility? Comparing past attitudes to today, she argues that lesbians continue to suffer from bigotry and discrimination because sexism and enforced gendered roles are still left unchallenged. She explores why many of the biggest assaults on lesbian freedom and wellbeing around the world now come, not just from conservatives, but also from so-called progressives, who are often antagonistic to lesbians organising and socialising autonomously. Rooted in her own remarkable story, this personal and passionate book is both an investigation into the obstacles to lesbian flourishing, and a testament to the particular delights of being a lesbian.

Britain is Bust / Ross Clark. - [miejsce nieznane] : Forum : Legimi, 2026.

Author

Clark Ross. Autor

Form of Work

E-booki

Britain is broke. We have been living beyond our means for decades, piling up debt year after year. It is now costing the British taxpayer well over £100 billion a year just to pay the interest on our borrowings – more than we spend on either education or defence. Sooner rather than later, Britain's debt problems will be impossible to ignore. In Britain is Bust, Ross Clark argues that a major rationalisation of public spending is inevitable, and likely to have profound impacts on the country's political landscape. Cuts that might seem unpopular now will soon be inescapable if we want to avoid the kind of debt crisis that afflicted Greece in 2010. Our only choice is between taking the lead on those cuts now, or being forced by the bond markets into much deeper ones in the near future. This clear-headed, engaging and carefully argued book demonstrates that we really can't afford to carry on as we are, and offers a set of solutions to avoid the worst.

The Care Dilemma / David Goodhart. - [miejsce nieznane] : Forum : Legimi, 2024.

Author

Goodhart David. Autor

Form of Work

E-booki

A FINANCIAL TIMES AND THE SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Important' Financial Times 'Serious and thought-provoking' The Critic 'Brave' Richard Reeves 'Excellent' Jonathan Haidt Family life has changed dramatically over the past 60 years. Greater choice and autonomy, especially for women, and a more equal domestic sphere have brought great gains for human freedom. However, argues David Goodhart, there have been losses and unintended consequences too – in family instability, children's declining mental health, and the ever-rising demands on the welfare state and social care system. Sharply falling birthrates also present major challenges. For many people, especially in the bottom half of the income spectrum, the costs are now too high. The Care Dilemma argues that we need a new policy settlement that supports gender equality while also recognising the importance of stable families and community life, and that sees having children as a public as well as private good.

E-booki

'Provocative and detailed ... Excellent' The Telegraph 'Shocking and meticulous' Danny Dorling 'An eye-opening revelation ... a must-read' Joel Bakan THE TELEGRAPH BEST BOOKS OF 2024 British politicians love to vaunt the benefits of the UK's supposed 'special relationship' with the US. But are we really America's economic partner – or its colony? Vassal State lays bare the extent to which US corporations own and control Britain's economy: how American business chiefs decide what we're paid, what we buy and how we buy it. US companies have carved up Britain between them, siphoning off enormous profits, buying up our most lucrative firms and assets, and extracting huge rents from UK PLC – all while paying little or no tax. Meanwhile, policymakers, from Whitehall mandarins to NHS chiefs, shape their decisions to suit the whims of our American corporate overlords. Based on his 40 years of business experience, devastating new research and interviews with the major players, Angus Hanton exposes why Britain has become the poor transatlantic relation – and what we can do to change it.

Feminism Against Progress / Mary Harrington. - [miejsce nieznane] : Forum : Legimi, 2023.

Author

Harrington Mary. Autor

Form of Work

E-booki

'An exhilarating read' New Statesman In Feminism Against Progress, Mary Harrington argues that the industrial-era faith in progress is turning against all but a tiny elite of women. Women's liberation was less the result of human moral progress than an effect of the material consequences of the Industrial Revolution. We've now left the industrial era for the age of AI, biotech and all-pervasive computing. As a result, technology is liberating us from natural limits and embodied sex differences. Although this shift benefits a small class of successful professional women, it also makes it easier to commodify women's bodies, human intimacy and female reproductive abilities. This is a stark warning against a dystopian future whereby poor women become little more than convenient sources of body parts to be harvested and wombs to be rented by the rich. Progress has now stopped benefiting the majority of women, and only a feminism that is sceptical of it can truly defend female interests in the 21st century.

Transsexual Apostate / Debbie Hayton. - [miejsce nieznane] : Forum : Legimi, 2024.

Author

Hayton Debbie. Autor

Form of Work

E-booki

'Brave and deeply considered… Her experience, and Transsexual Apostate, shouldn't be dismissed' The Telegraph In a compelling first-hand account of what it means to be a transwoman – and where she feels the impulse comes from – Hayton explains why much of gender identity ideology is, in her view, false and damaging. Once a prominent member of the TUC LGBT+ committee, she charts how her views developed and put her at odds with the majority of trans activists. She issues a compassionate call to move beyond ideological conflicts, and to acknowledge the legitimate concerns that many have with an agenda that asserts that transwomen are women. Hayton's honest, humane and moving book shows that by accepting reality, transwomen can live their best lives based on the truth of who they are – rather than the fantasy of who they are not.

Last Words / Richard Holloway. - [miejsce nieznane] : Forum : Legimi, 2025.

Author

Holloway Richard. Autor

Form of Work

E-booki

Richard Holloway has been the archetypal 'turbulent priest'. Having risen to be the Primus (Head) of the Scottish Episcopal Church, he abandoned religion and ecclesiastical office to fight for the rights of minorities and to write a string of best selling books, most famously Leaving Alexandria. He also became Chairman of the Scottish Arts Council. In this, his last book, he reflects deeply on his life, most especially as a child of desperately poor parents in Dumbartonshire in Scotland. He tells the story of how he found faith but then abandoned Christian orthodoxy after leaving office as Head of the Scottish Episcopal Church, and discovered a new life as a writer, broadcaster, journalist and public intellectual. This book opens and ends with chapters of a philosophical kind in which he explains how he lost belief in a loving God and became true to himself.

Taboo / Eric Kaufmann. - [miejsce nieznane] : Forum : Legimi, 2024.

Author

Kaufmann Eric. Autor

Form of Work

E-booki

'Stimulating and provocative' The Times The once-dominant philosophy of the West, defined by free expression, equal treatment of individuals, national solidarity and scientific rationality, is under threat. 'Cultural socialism' – which advocates harsh restrictions on free speech, due process and national symbols in order to reduce psychological harm and bolster the esteem of formerly marginalized groups – is on the rise. Rather than focusing on Marxist revolutionaries or equality law, Eric Kaufmann concentrates on well-meaning left-liberals. He argues that the genesis of 'woke' cultural socialism emerged from liberal taboos around race that arose in the 1960s and came to be weaponised and extended to other areas, such as gender. Using extensive survey data, he shows that this process is driven mainly by values, not fear, and is only going to accelerate as culturally leftist generations enter the workforce and electorate. Its rise suppresses the open debate that makes effective policy-making possible, harming the minorities cultural socialists purport to help. Only if we shift from encouraging minority fragility to building minority resilience, using state power to check institutional illiberalism, can we resist cultural socialism and restore cultural flourishing. This is the authoritative study of the radical shift in values that has turbo-charged the culture wars of our time. No-one concerned with the cultural and political conflicts of our times can afford to miss it.

The Two-Parent Privilege / Melissa S. Kearney. - [miejsce nieznane] : Forum : Legimi, 2023.

Author

Kearney Melissa S.. Autor

Form of Work

E-booki

'A data-rich book that takes a close look at how deeply family structure influences both children's current well-being and their future academic and career prospects' - Wall Street Journal, Best Books of the Year In The Two-Parent Privilege, Melissa S. Kearney makes a data-driven case for marriage by showing how the institution's decline has led to a host of economic woes. When two adults marry, their economic and household lives improve, offering a number of benefits not only for the married adults but for their children. By confronting the critical role that family makeup plays in shaping children's lives and futures, Kearney offers an assessment of what a decline in marriage means for an economy and a society – and what we must do to change course. 'Having two parents who are married to each other, Kearney argues, provides offspring with economic and social advantages. And by joining their particular strengths, a married couple can give their progeny more than the sum of their parts'- New Yorker, Best Books of the Year

The Energy Trap / Richard Lyon. - [miejsce nieznane] : Forum : Legimi, 2026.

Author

Lyon Richard. Autor

Form of Work

E-booki

One of humanity's greatest modern threats involves an area of life we thought we had mastered: energy. For the last century our energy system has delivered rising prosperity, increased lifespans and largely eliminated famine. Now it is being dismantled – with confidence, with public money and with almost no scrutiny. In this short, sharp book, Richard Lyon – electrical engineer, petroleum engineer and energy economist – strips the energy debate back to the physics. What he finds is alarming: fossil fuels are running out, the proposed replacements can't do the job and the people in charge don't understand the science well enough to realise, much less pursue, solutions. The consequences could be severe, but they are not yet inevitable. In a series of lucid chapters, The Energy Trap sets out the problem and proposes a way forward – provided we are willing to stop wasting our remaining resources on energy systems that can't work and get on with building one that can.

'Highly readable ... Everything we need to know on this subject' Financial Times 'Fascinating' Geographical Magazine 'A must read for anyone wanting to understand the forces shaping our world' Eliza Filby 'A compelling argument for having more children' New Statesman A population calamity is unfolding before our eyes. It started in parts of the developed world and is spreading to the four corners of the globe. There are just too few babies being born for humanity to replace itself. Leading demographer Paul Morland argues that the consequences of this promise to be calamitous. Labour shortages, pensions crises and ballooning debt threaten to engulf us all, and sooner than we think. Unless we radically change our attitudes towards parenthood and embrace a new progressive pro-natalism, argues Morland, we face disaster.
