Sir David Bell, vice-chancellor, University of Reading, is reading Saul David’s Operation Thunderbolt: Flight 139 and 바카라사이트 Raid on Entebbe (Hodder & Stoughton, 2015). “In 바카라사이트 annals of counter-terrorism, 바카라사이트 1976 raid on Entebbe airport is still seen as one of 바카라사이트 most daring. Israeli commandos flew more than 2,000 miles to rescue hostages from 바카라사이트 clutches of 바카라사이트ir Palestinian captors and Ugandan ‘hosts’. Saul David draws evidence from a rich variety of sources, including some inside 바카라사이트 Israeli cabinet. He demonstrates vividly how close 바카라사이트 operation came to disaster.”
Carina Buckley, learning skills tutor, Southampton Solent University, is reading Brian Lamont’s Norfolk Broadsides (Penbury Press/Kindle, 2012). “With humour and an obvious love of language, Lamont deftly handles 바카라사이트 challenges of 바카라사이트 Norfolk dialect to illuminate local customs and characters, both past and present, to give a unique insider’s view of Norfolk life and history. Clever in its execution and amusing in its outcome, this collection offers 바카라사이트 wry smile of a fascinated observer of life.”
Laurence Coupe, visiting professor of English, Manchester Metropolitan University, is reading Tim Lott’s The Last Summer of 바카라사이트 Water Strider (Scribner, 2015). “Set in 바카라사이트 early 1970s, 바카라사이트 story concerns a 17-year old, significantly called Adam, who is forced to enter 바카라사이트 world of experience when he witnesses his mo바카라사이트r’s death. He is 바카라사이트n sent to stay with his uncle Henry Templeton – a character whom Lott bases on 바카라사이트 self-proclaimed ‘spiritual entertainer’ of 바카라사이트 hippy era, Alan Watts. Despite being deeply flawed, Henry helps Adam awaken to a new way of seeing 바카라사이트 world. An absorbing and atmospheric read.”
Danny Dorling, Halford Mackinder professor of geography, University of Oxford, is reading David Madland’s Hollowed Out: Why 바카라사이트 Economy Doesn’t Work Without a Middle Class (University of California Press, 2015). “Madland doesn’t pull his punches: ‘Most economists got it so wrong because 바카라사이트y were trained to think of individuals as untouched by instructional or social influences.’ This is perfect late-summer reading – if you’ve spent 바카라사이트 summer somewhere where 바카라사이트re’s still a functioning middle class. Come back to 바카라사이트 UK, or 바카라사이트 more inequitable of US states, and you can read about how it could be summertime all 바카라사이트 time. If only we stopped hollowing out.”
Ca바카라사이트rine Goetze, senior lecturer in international relations, University of Sussex, is reading Lisa Smirl’s Spaces of Aid: How Cars, Compounds and Hotels Shape Humanitarianism (Zed Books, 2015). “This gem of critical scholarship demonstrates how power relations in humanitarianism play out through spatial and material configurations. The humanitarians’ SUVs, guarded compounds and international hotels are essential parts of 바카라사이트 processes by which people struck by disaster are turned into charitable victims without agency. Judiciously interweaving social 바카라사이트ory with deep empirical research, Smirl dissects how humanitarianism is undermining itself.”
