Paperback. Condición: Very Good. In a century that has seen the role of women in both domestic and public life change irrevocably, the role of the Women's Institute in effecting change has often gone unappreciated. From the barracking of Tony Blair at their AGM in 2000, through the extraordinary story of the WI Calendar Girls, and after a hundred years of campaigning and solidarity, the WI is enjoying a resurgence in popularity among younger city-dwelling women, while remaining firmly rooted in its rural origins. Women's Century celebrates the WI's centenary in 2015, calling attention to the indispensable role it has played in the development of women's rights. From its establishment in a 1915 Britain suffering the rigours of war in Europe, the WI has become the UK's most popular women's organisation, playing a crucial role in encouraging women's education and equal pay, prison reform and, more recently, AIDS awareness and fair trade. Focusing on powerful images of the WI and its work, with a foreword by HRH The Duchess of Cornwall, and preface by Julie Summers, the book tells its story to a new generation of men and women, whose forebears 100 years ago could never have imagined the force their fledgling new organisation would become.

Today the one thousand or so pupils live in eight boys' and five girls' houses. Oundle - A School for All Seasons charts the School terms (known as 'Quarters') today and at various points throughout the last century, through a thrilling visual narrative. Julian Andrews' insightful photography captures the excitement of the new pupils' first day to the climax of Speech Day, and all the emotions in-between. The photographs are drawn together by quotations, short recollections and diary extracts from pupils and staff, past and present, providing a feast of views and nostalgia for every Oundelian to enjoy. From starched napkins to communal toasters, male only to co-ed, workshops to the state-of-the-art SciTec building, there are many differences. However, the seventeenth century golden stone buildings, winding streets and verdant grounds of Oundle provide a common setting for the school year across the generations.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Numerous histories have been written of the older colleges of Oxford and Cambridge. During the 20th century, Clare, founded in 1326, has two - Manfield Forbes' eccentric six century survey up to 1926, and Richard Eden's recent Clare College and the Founding of Clare Hall. However no previous attempt has been made by the College, or as far as is known by any Oxbridge college, to present a wide-ranging overview of college life and learning through the 20th century. After World War II, all our institutions strove to regain solidarity and security. By 1975, Clare was a college that would never be the same again; one of the first to admit women (1972), an increasing proportion of its students coming from state schools, powerful societies and academic excellence as its credentials. In 1999 it was the first college in Cambridge to have sufficient confidence in the efficacy of its own procedures to allow the media to observe, uncensored, the admissions process.

Published to coincide with the opening of the eponymous exhibition at the Fan Museum in 2004, this beautifully illustrated publication presents an insight into the social, cultural and political life of the Court of Louis XIV. It is centered on the gardens of Versailles and the role played by the fans in presenting and promoting all aspects of Louis' reign.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. William Gladstone, King Edward VII of England, Winston Churchill - if the roll call of visitors to Warren House, one of the finest Victorian stately homes in the south of England, is impressive, then the wider cast of characters associated with the House and its owners is a veritable Who's Who of the political, cultural and social elite of their day. Owner George Cawston was an original board member of Cecil Rhodes' British South Africa Company; Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Consort Alexandra received his successor Arthur Paget; while other denizens of Warren House inspired characters in the works of Edith Wharton and Henry James. This is a social tale of individual lives, enriched by the first-hand accounts of two former residents - nurse Lilian Philips who lived and worked at the House during the Second World War, and former Serbian refugee - now Canadian citizen - Bill Pazaratz. The fascinating text is enriched by beautiful illustrations of the House and its splendid gardens, past and present. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A Guide to The Commonwealth War Graves Commission looks at an extraordinary organisation carrying out an extraordinary task. Establishing the CWGC required people of huge vision to turn this terrible task into an international exemplar of how to honour the dead. The great founders, including Rudyard Kipling, took their task extremely seriously and devoted decades to designing and delivering their vision. As they enter their second century of operation, the CWGC Commissioners and staff around the world remain dedicated to holding high the torch of remembrance, conserving these special places so that the memories of those we look after are never lost to time.This guidebook is intended to show you some of the CWGC's treasures - to tell you more about a well-loved organisation and who they commemorate. It reviews the records and archives from the last century, explores the top CWGC sites alongside detailed maps (including Essex Farm Cemetery, Belgium; the Thiepval Memorial, France; Kohima War Cemetery, India; Tower Hill Memorial UK and more), highlights places not easily reached - and those most challenging to maintain - and summarises a view for the future. Featuring extracts from the remarkable archives in Maidenhead, which include records from the Commission's foundation up to the present day, this illustrated guide celebrates a century of dedication to the fallen and the CWGF commitment to engaging the wider community in the story of our common sacrifice and shared history.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. In 2004 the newly constituted unified University of Manchester began a new era as the UK's largest campus, with 34,000 students and 9,000 staff, and a brief 'to build a truly world-class university that will continue to attract the best students, the most talented staff and significant research funds from around the world'.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. This book celebrates two anniversaries in the long history of this College. It is 660 years since its College's first foundation by Edmund Gonville in 1348 and 450 years since the second foundation by Dr John Caius in 1558. Buildings alone do not make a College, no matter how beautiful they may be; and yet they provide a vital support for this powerful intellectual community that renews itself year after year. Caius is a living continuum of study, contemplation, enquiry and expression stretching in an unbroken line all the way back to the Middle Ages. The book opens with a brilliant encapsulation of the story of the College's growth and development from 1348 to 2008, written by the master historian of Caius, Professor Christopher Brooke. This is followed by a breathtaking panorama of images of Caius in the twenty-first century. Dan White shows us the College through fresh eyes. He delights in contrasting ancient traditions with irrepressible youth. He portrays a vibrant community of students, fellows, staff and benefactors, all contributing in their own way to the multi-faceted life of the College. Dan's unforgettable images are also perfectly complemented by the photographs of College President, Professor Wei-Yao Liang, who captures the subtle beauty of the College through its many moods and seasons. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
