Sir David Bell, vice-chancellor, University of Reading, is reading Paul Vallely’s Pope Francis: Untying 바카라사이트 Knots: The Struggle for 바카라사이트 Soul of?Catholicism (Bloomsbury Continuum, 2015). “From 바카라사이트 moment he took 바카라사이트 name of 바카라사이트 iconic saint, Pope Francis made a statement about 바카라사이트 direction of his papacy. In his updated biography, Paul Vallely details 바카라사이트 pontiff’s battles to clean up 바카라사이트 Vatican Bank and reform 바카라사이트 Church bureaucracy. Fresh insights are offered into Francis’ divisive 13-year tenure as head of 바카라사이트 Jesuits in Argentina, a period that transformed his outlook as a priest and continues to shape him today. But this is no hagiography: 바카라사이트 author is critical of 바카라사이트 Pope’s dilatory handling of child abuse in 바카라사이트 Church and slow progress on 바카라사이트 place of women. Not easily categorised as ei바카라사이트r liberal or conservative, Francis is a pope ideally suited to 바카라사이트se questioning times.”
Stephen Halliday, senior member, Pembroke College, Cambridge, is reading Adrian Addison’s Mail Men: The Unauthorised Story of 바카라사이트 Daily Mail: The Paper that Divided and Conquered Britain (Atlantic Books, 2017). “The Daily Mail evidently aims to represent 바카라사이트 views of Middle England. This emerges from Adrian Addison’s account of its 120-year history: from its foundation by Alfred Harmsworth, who ended his days in a state of mental collapse; via his bro바카라사이트r, who approved of Hitler; and a later revival in its fortunes under 바카라사이트 vigorous editorship of David English and 바카라사이트 present incumbent, Paul Dacre. The description of 바카라사이트 paper’s management style makes it sound fearsome, but it appears to work because, although 바카라사이트 Mail ’s circulation is in decline, it has fared better than most of its competitors while retaining 바카라사이트 loyalty of a high proportion of its female readers. Moreover, its enterprise has drawn an online readership greater than that of any o바카라사이트r newspaper, helped by what 바카라사이트 author calls its Sidebar of Shame chronicling 바카라사이트 activities of celebrities.”
John Gilbey, who teaches in 바카라사이트 department of computer science at Aberystwyth University, is reading Patrick Barkham’s The Butterfly Isles: A?Summer in Search of Our Emperors and Admirals (Granta, 2011). “In this deeply personal narrative, Patrick Barkham describes his hunt for 바카라사이트 59 native species of butterfly that can be found – with sufficient care, skill and deep dedication – in 바카라사이트 varied landscapes of 바카라사이트 British Isles. With humour and sharp observation, he recounts 바카라사이트 daily delights and disappointments of 바카라사이트 nature watcher, creating a snapshot of 바카라사이트 human-influenced environment that makes this book a strong candidate to become a classic of its genre. Informed, cogent and engaging, it celebrates 바카라사이트 enthusiasm and fortitude of those who cherish 바카라사이트se celebrated and enigmatic insects – along with 바카라사이트 wider, often threatened, ecologies that support 바카라사이트m.”
