Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - From the author of the Orwell Prize-winner SHOW ME THE BODIES: HOW WE LET GRENFELL HAPPEN, the gripping story of how housing defines a city's past, presentand futureA Waterstones Book of the Year 2025'Apps set the gold standard with his Grenfell coverage. With Homesick, he dismantles the sham of UK housing policy - razor-sharp, stylish, and morally unflinching.' Darren McGarveyIn London, only those with vast cash deposits can get on the property ladder, private rents have spiralled out of control and the wait for social housing is measured in decades. Once vibrant communities are being uprooted, schools are closing down and homelessness is rampant.It was not always like this. In the 1980s, builders and nurses could afford family-sized homes, there was abundant social housing and long-term security for private renters.Tracing the last forty years of housing policy, Peter Apps examines this transformation, following a diverse group of Londoners as their fortunes rise and fall across the decades amid the economic forces sweeping through the city. With clear-eyed urgency, he reveals what will happen when a generation of renters retires and climate change brings fire and flood to a city unprepared for extremes.He also gives us reason to hope, exploring the ways London can transform again: from a market for private profit to a place that once more offers permanence, safety and opportunity for its citizens. A place to call home.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Meet the heiresses. Their dresses are the latest fashion, their rooms Mayfair's most luxurious, their suitors Britain's most powerful men.Their fortunes - blood and sugar.'This is a book you need to read.' Lucy WorsleyGeorgian heiresses are inescapable in British culture. They flutter through Jane Austen's novels and countless period dramas. Their portraits - painted by Gainsborough, Zoffany, Reynolds - crowd our museums while their lavish estates pepper the countryside. However, a less genteel story lurks beneath the veneer - those glorious balls, dresses and dowries were funded by the exploitation of enslaved men, women and children.Following the lives of nine heiresses and tracing their tainted money from its origins in the sugar plantations of the Caribbean, Miranda Kaufmann reveals a murky world of inheritance, fortune-hunting and human exploitation. From Jane Leigh Perrot, Jane Austen's light-fingered aunt, to Elizabeth Vassall Fox, who faked her daughter's death to maintain custody during a tumultuous divorce, Heiressestraces the often scandalous lives of the women who helped build Britain's empire.Kaufmann also pieces together the lives of the people these heiresses and their families enslaved. There's Betsy Newton, who escaped from Barbados to London to confront her enslavers face-to-face. Meanwhile in Jamaica, Susanna Augier became a powerful landowner, inheriting her white father's properties. Her daughter, an eligible heiress, would marry into the British aristocracy.Enlightening, provocative and masterfully researched, Heiresses offers a vital history of enslavement in Britain and the Caribbean.\*\*\*'A startling insightinto the lives of the real 'Mrs Rochesters'.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Where did the 1979 Islamic Revolution come from Only six years after the revolution, the late Harvard professor of history Roy P. Mottahedeh set out to answer this question. Drawing on more than two millennia of Iranian history, fourteen centuries of Shi'i scholarship, and the intellectual challenges of modernity, he traced the deep currents that gave the revolution its force. From lectures on Aristotle in Qom's seminaries to SAVAK's prisons and the bustle of the bazaars, Mottahedeh illuminates how the revolution was shaped by Iranian society and how it reshaped the nation in turn. The Mantle of the Prophet offers a rare account of the revolution and its aftermath as they were lived and endured. As the future of the Islamic Republic once again hangs in the balance, Mottahedeh's classic study has lost none of its relevance. It remains a powerful testament to a society marked by sacrifice, conviction and an unfinished struggle for freedom.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Israel can't go on like this. 7 October and Israel's subsequent invasion of Gaza laid bare the cracks in its foundations. It was unveiled as a country unable to protect its citizens, divided between messianic theocrats and selective liberals, resented by its neighbours and losing the support of Jews worldwide. While its leaders justify bombing campaigns exceeding the worst atrocities of World War 2 and a spiralling humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip, Israel is becoming a pariah state. Its worst enemy is not Hamas, but itself.Ilan Pappe paves a path out of the Jewish state, rooted in restorative justice and decolonisation, including the return of refugees, the end of illegal settlements, and building bridges with the Arab world. The future can be one of reconciliation, not endless war.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Shah Waliyullah Dihlavi (1703-1762) was a highly renowned and influential scholar of Islam who produced foundational works on the Qur'an, Islamic law and jurisprudence, Sufism, philosophy, and politics. He sought to reconcile seemingly competing strands of Muslim intellectual thought and practice, pursuing a cosmopolitan Islam marked not by dogmatism and finality but by debate and hermeneutical flexibility. Yet it is precisely in his attempt to forge such a vision that some of the most profound tensions and ambiguities of his thought were enshrined.In this detailed yet accessible study of his life and scholarship, set in the context of India on the eve of British colonisation, SherAli Tareen examines critical facets of Shah Waliyullah's intellectual career and explores his contested legacy in South Asia and beyond.…
