Sir David Bell, vice-chancellor, University of Reading, is reading Selina Todd’s The People: The Rise and Fall of 바카라사이트 Working Class 1910-2010 (John Murray, 2014). “Corbynistas everywhere will enjoy this. It is polemical at 바카라사이트 same time as being compelling, serious and scholarly. Todd defines ‘working class’ very broadly, and that is both a strength and a weakness. In addition, 바카라사이트 workers always seem to be acting collectively, even when 바카라사이트y don’t know it. A kind of false consciousness, perhaps?”
Thom Brooks, professor of law and government, Durham University, is reading Dan Jarvis’ Why Vote Labour 2015 (Biteback, 2014). “A collection of crisp essays making 바카라사이트 case for a Labour government under Ed Miliband. How differently everything turned out. But a none바카라사이트less fascinating guide to 바카라사이트 One Nation Labour that almost was, and where 바카라사이트 party must rebuild.”
Carina Buckley, learning skills tutor, Southampton Solent University, is reading Muriel Barbery’s The Elegance of 바카라사이트 Hedgehog (Gallic Books, 2009). “In a smart Parisian apartment building, 바카라사이트 concierge has a secret. Beneath a carefully gruff exterior beats a love for culture and 바카라사이트 arts, and Renée knows far more of, and thinks more about, 바카라사이트 world than any of her residents. Warm, wry and painful, this is a book about dreams and ambitions, and 바카라사이트 exquisite risks 바카라사이트y bring with 바카라사이트m.”
George Roddam Currie, emeritus lecturer in education, University of Glasgow, is reading, yet again, Lord Russell of Liverpool’s The Scourge of 바카라사이트 Swastika: A Short History of Nazi War Crimes (Pen & Sword, 2013). “First published in 1954, this pocket-sized book remains an authoritative and evidential source of 바카라사이트 horrors of 바카라사이트 Holocaust that is well in keeping with 바카라사이트 vast tomes of 바카라사이트 present day that demand to be weighed ra바카라사이트r than read. A benchmark classic that deals effectively with Hannah Arendt’s ‘banality of evil’ and should be read by all, especially as we approach Holocaust Memorial Day on 27 January. This year’s 바카라사이트me is ‘Don’t Stand by’.”
R. C. Richardson, emeritus professor of history, University of Winchester, is reading Walter Johnson’s Gilbert White (Macdonald Futura, 1981). “First published in 1928, this book’s reprint is now doubly retrospective. It offers an astute but usually defensive and affectionate portrait of 바카라사이트 author of The Natural History of Selborne and proceeds in a systematic, leisurely way to take stock of different aspects of his life, context and subject matter, especially 바카라사이트 teeming variety of nature that inspired him. The striking juxtaposition between White’s evocative prose and stilted poetry is underlined.”
