'Highly recommend - practical and full of human wisdom' FINANCIAL TIMES 'Brimming with ideas to transform the future' KATE RAWORTH, author of DOUGHNUT ECONOMICS 'An act of radical hope, radical listening and radical humility . . . I loved it' RORY STEWART Work, for decades, has been debated and discussed as a narrow economic category. Instead, Hilary Cottam identifies work as a cultural force at the heart of good lives, strong communities and a sense of a shared national destiny. Crucially, in these dramatic times, she shows how we can shape this force to meet technological change, our ecological crisis and the challenges of the world's deep injustices. We can create a work revolution. Ambitious but rooted in the ideas of everyday experts - real workers from all walks of life - this is a realistic and hopeful book. Hilary Cottam has crossed the UK and the USA; she's spent time in communities considered by outsiders as 'left behind' and in places at the centre of financial and technological power. Drawing on a fascinating range of sources - historians, trade unionists, business leaders, philosophers and most originally, hours of her imaginative workshops with workers - Hilary Cottam boldly asks: how can we redesign work? Our challenges - political, social, economic and environmental - are tangled and growing. But so are the imaginative solutions. In this exciting, inspiring and optimistic book, Hilary shows us how we could work differently and live better. 'So valuable . . . Hilary Cottam proposes a bold new vision of what the principles underlying 'good work' might be' MARIANA MAZZUCATO, UCL professor and author of MISSION ECONOMY 'Timely . . . guides the changes needed' CARLOTA PEREZ 'Exposes what motivates workers today - not the things most business leaders think - and shows how new thinking would benefit us all. Compelling' MARTHA LANE FOX 'Urgent, compelling and ultimately hopeful . . . Necessary and Inspiring' CAROLINE LUCAS, Green Party MP and author of ANOTHER ENGLAND 'Cottam is the humane revolutionary our turbulent century needs - and this book our roadmap to a better future' JONATHAN FREEDLAND, author of THE ESCAPE ARTIST

The Forever Home

Oxford Illustrated History

A beautifully illustrated and accessible account of the medieval crusades. The Oxford Illustrated History of the Crusades provides an accessible introduction to the medieval crusades and to the changes and developments that have taken place in their study over the last twenty-five years. Written by fifteen experts in the field, it opens with the nature of western European society in the eleventh century that gave rise to the holy war ethos, where the Church promoted violence against the perceived enemies of the faith not as a distasteful necessity in a fallen world but as a meritorious act which attracted a spiritual reward. The launch of the First Crusade in 1095 and its capture of Jerusalem four year later is described, along with the subsequent expeditions to the Holy Land up to 1271. Later chapters focus on some of the less well-known aspects. These include the reaction in the Islamic world to the crusades; the impact on the Jewish communities of western Europe; the perspective from the Byzantine empire; the crusades launched against Christians, whether Orthodox Byzantines or Hussite and Albigensian heretics; the literature and songs to which the crusades gave rise and the physical monuments that can still be seen today. Crusading continued long after the fall of Acre, the last outpost in the Holy Land, in 1291, becoming increasingly defensive in the face of the expansion of the Ottoman empire, although Christian forays into Africa and the Americas in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries were still regarded as crusades. Even in the nineteenth century, crusades were looked back on as a model for contemporary European imperialism.

The Oxford Illustrated History of the Crusades

Instant New York Times BestsellerA searing, vital investigation of the Republican Party's dangerous campaign to rewrite recent history in real time, from the Emmy Award-winning&nbsp;Rachel Maddow Show&nbsp;producer and bestselling author of&nbsp;The Impostors. "There is nobody who is writing in an episodic way who has more influence on the way I think about politics than Steve Benen."&nbsp;-Rachel Maddow&nbsp;For as long as historical records have existed, authoritarian regimes have tried to rewrite history to suit their purposes, using their dictatorial powers to create myths, spread propaganda, justify decisions, erase opponents, and even dispose of crimes. As the Republican Party becomes increasingly radicalized, the GOP is putting their own twist on a similarly despotic script. Indeed, the party is taking dangerous, aggressive steps to rewrite history-and not just from generations past. Unable to put a positive spin on Trump-era scandals and fiascos, GOP voices and their allies have grown determined to rewrite the stories of the last few years-from the 2020 election results and the horror of January 6th&nbsp;to their own legislative record-treating the recent past as an enemy to be overpowered, crushed, and conquered. The consequences for our future, in turn, are dramatic. Extraordinarily timely and undeniably important, Steve Benen's new book tells the staggering chronicle of the Republican party's unsettling attempts at historical revisionism. It reveals not only how dependent they have grown on the tactic, but also how dangerous the consequences are if we allow the party to continue. The stakes, Benen argues, couldn't be higher: the future of democracy hinges on both our accurate understanding of events and the end of alternative narratives that challenge reality.
