Laroche Giles: Extreme Places: The Most
Remote Homes on Earth

Extreme Places: The Most Remote Homes on Earth

From renowned, prize-winning historian Frank Dikötter - 'the historian of China' (Spectator) - a commanding new history of China's path to Communism, brought to the people at the barrel of a gun The history of modern China has long been portrayed as a tale of Communists fighting in the hills for freedom, gradually gaining popular support by taking land from the rich and giving it to the poor. Drawing on a wealth of archival evidence, Red Dawn Over China reveals how unlikely the Party's victory actually was, had it not been for financial and military support from the Soviet Union. Established in 1921 under the direct guidance of Moscow, for the best part of a decade the Communist Party left a trail of destruction, besieging towns and plundering the countryside. When the Communists managed to hold territory, they reduced the villagers to a state of servitude, undermining belief in their cause as well as the local economy. By 1936 they had the same popular appeal as an obscure religious sect. A brutal war of occupation by Japan allowed them to survive far behind enemy lines. After Soviet troops invaded Manchuria in 1945 and provided more money and munitions, the Communists at long last prevailed through a pitiless war of attrition, driven by an unflinching will to conquer at all costs. In this riveting tale told with great narrative verve, Frank Dikötter reveals how thirteen delegates gathered in a dusty room in 1921 ended up raising the red flag over the Forbidden City in 1949, forever altering the course of history for a quarter of humanity and shaping the world as we know it today. Praise for Frank Dikötter and the People's Trilogy: 'Harrowing and brilliant' Ben Macintyre 'Gripping and masterful' Simon Sebag Montefiore 'One of the few books that anyone who wants to understand the twentieth century simply must read' New Statesman

How Communism Conquered a Quarter of Humanity

Red Dawn Over China

Studies in Private International Law - Asia

This book compares and explains the approaches taken by Asian courts when choice of forum clauses in international commercial contracts are challenged in litigation. It examines key common law jurisdictions (Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia), civil law jurisdictions (China, Japan, and Indonesia), and hybrid jurisdictions (the Philippines). With Asia's ascent in cross-border trade and investment, alongside a corresponding increase in cross-border litigation, understanding how Asian courts address choice of forum clauses in international commercial contracts has never been more critical. Employing a comparative law method, the book identifies and explains the relief and remedies used by Asian courts in enforcing choice of forum clauses, analysing how their classification as either contractual or procedural in nature shapes judicial approaches. It further distinguishes choice of forum clauses from arbitration agreements and explores their interaction with other contractual provisions. Party autonomy - as the parties' freedom to determine the contents of the choice of forum clause and the freedom to control the flow of litigation - is also critically scrutinised. Furthermore, the book investigates the factors courts consider in resolving key choice of forum clause issues (ie, enforceability; specific relief to be granted; existence, validity, interpretation of choice of forum clauses; role of mandatory rules, public policy, and international interests) and explores the prospects for future development of this area of law in Asia. Crucially, the book highlights the unique approaches of Asian courts, while underscoring the differences and similarities among common law, civil law, and hybrid jurisdictions.

Ius Gentium: Comparative Perspectives on Law and Justice

Whether in major world powers or smaller economies, constitutions around the globe are facing increasing challenges. In the United States—a country whose judiciary often dominates discussions on constitutionalism— President Donald Trump responded to unfavourable judicial rulings by calling for the impeachment of the judges involved, expressing his demands via tweets in March 2025. In January 2025, security detail was withdrawn from Kenya’s first female Chief Justice, highlighting the growing pressures faced by judiciaries worldwide. Issues such as the judicialization of politics and the protection of human rights have become enduring concerns across nearly every country. Emerging political and legal developments continually challenge courts and constitutions, often constraining the powers of judges, politicians, and other actors—while simultaneously creating new opportunities for these same actors to expand their influence. At the heart of these shifting dynamics lies a fundamental question: who holds whom accountable, to what extent, and under what conditions? This book explores various dimensions of constitutionalism in Africa and beyond, including, but not limited to, judicial independence, the judicialization of politics, and the politicization of the judiciary. What makes this volume a must-read is its interdisciplinary and comparative approach. Most chapters go beyond merely analysing legal provisions that empower or weaken different branches of government; they also examine the social, political, and economic factors that shape constitutionalism. Two chapters offer a comparative analysis of African and non-African jurisdictions.&nbsp;The final chapter synthesizes the key takeaways from the book.

'Yoda shows how we might ease our own suffering and reawaken a profound appreciation of the beauty of the world' RUTH OZEKI, Women's Prize-winning and Booker Prize-shortlisted author In Eight Million Ways to Happiness, Hiroko Yoda invites readers on a deeply personal and transformative journey into the spiritual heart of Japan. While millions have found inspiration in ideas like ikigai or The Courage to Be Disliked, Hiroko reveals the deeper traditions that quietly shape Japan's culture, drawn from Shinto, Buddhism, and the mountain mysticism of Shugendo. These aren't abstract philosophies. They are living practices that integrate so seamlessly with modern secular life, even natives can forget they are there. Reconnecting with them helped Hiroko find light after profound loss - and realise that they offer powerful tools for anyone seeking meaning, connection or peace in their own life. Through vivid storytelling and immersive experiences - dancing at Shinto shrines, climbing sacred peaks, and meeting mystics - Hiroko shows how Japan's flexible approach to spirituality helps kindle gratitude, connection and kinship with nature. What emerges are practical insights and gentle guidance to spark joy, find balance, and discover what truly matters. Whether you're grieving, searching, or simply curious, this book is a reminder: there are millions of ways to be happy. You just have to find yours.

Routledge Revivals

Now reissued with a new preface by the author, this book was originally published in 1982 at a time when increasing emphasis was being given to regional development planning in many developing countries. This new emphasis arose from the conviction that the spatial organization of activities fundamentally affects national rates of economic growth as well as the distribution of benefits to the greatest number of people. This study analyses the spatial organization of the Ethiopian urban system, the structure and socio-economic characteristics or the urban areas and the locational decisions of firms in the country. It also examines the extent to which infrastructure investment in Ethiopia in the 20th century affected the development of urban areas with regard to growth and their potential to attract new industries.

Commonwealth Caribbean Law

The Ordination of Women in the Zambezi Evangelical Church

'Exceptionally interesting' Alain de Botton 'A book that will transform how you understand human behaviour' Thomas Erikson 'Insightful and entertaining' Cal Newport 'Fascinating ... You'll never again view your own world in quite the same way' Ian Stewart Can physics change your life? It already has. In The Art of Physics, Zahaan Bharmal explains eight ideas from physics that have transformed his view of everyday life and will do the same for you. Far from being abstract, he argues, physics can help us answer very human questions, questions like: Why are some relationships unstable, while others last a lifetime? Why does inequality persist? And why do we all make so many irrational decisions? Drawing on quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, chaos and complexity theory, materials science and more, The Art of Physics reveals the hidden, surprising, and sometimes beautiful ways in which physics can help us to make sense of an unpredictable world. Ultimately, it shows how by embracing the paradoxes and uncertainty at the core of physics, we can unlock a deeper understanding of ourselves and our universe. A deeply personal and thoroughly entertaining tour of life, the universe, and everything.
