The Observations of Gilles Le Bouvier

A Medieval Herald's View of Europe and Its Neighbouring Lands

Palgrave Studies in Modern Monarchy

Transatlantic Monarchisms in the Americas and Europe, 1812-1868

An inventive new look at the shared histories of Britain's nationsThe future of England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and adjacent islands is in flux again - as it has been repeatedly for millennia.This book tells the story of the Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans and others who have occupied these isles, along with their culture, languages and passions. It charts the kaleidoscope of overlapping and conflicting identities, along with the changing role of women and the stories of emigrants and immigrants.England conquered Wales in the Middle Ages and formed unions with Scotland in 1707 and Ireland in 1801. Britain was fashioned by the opportunities of the largest empire the world has seen, coupled with a desire to defend Protestantism against a largely Catholic Europe. It was always a fragile union, however. Ireland broke away in 1922 after a war of independence. And as the Empire crumbled, nationalism grew in Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland, which remained part of the UK, was wracked by a 30-year civil war. Even the name of the islands is contested: is it the 'British Isles' or 'Britain and Ireland' or even the 'Atlantic Archipelago'? The future of the nations is in question again, with vital consequences for all their inhabitants and for the world.This examination of the past, present and future relationship between England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland - along with the Isle of Man, Channel Islands and other isles - covers over 200 million years of history, with a particular focus on the colourful and pivotal parts. Themes include the part played by religion and the British Empire, international diasporas and internal migration. With forays into popular culture, sport, music, language, literature, art and everything in between, Groom examines the state of the nations, the feelings of their inhabitants and the prospects for further changes in the relationship between them.

These Isles

The Life, Old Age, and Death of a Working-Class Woman

No sex. No kids. No future? When Tom Feiling moved to Tokyo as a student in the early nineties, Japan was a beacon of the future: a rising superpower, a technology giant, a global symbol of prosperity, civility and success. When he returned twenty-four years later, the country was still a sign of things to come-but, he began to realize, it was no longer a beacon. It was a warning. This is a unique account of contemporary Japan, which travels from the quiet of its furthest flung villages to the aspiration and dynamism of its cities. It tells the story of how, from the mid-seventies onwards, Japanese society unknowingly embarked on a vast, silent process of transformation that is still unfolding today. It is still peaceful; it is still prosperous. But the Japanese population is dwindling at an alarming rate. As things stand, Japan's populace will shrink by a third with each new generation; by 2070 it will have lost the equivalent of the entire population outside of Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya. Travelling through shrines and bars, rice fields and mango farms, coffee shops and old peoples' homes, Feiling meets with those affected by, and driving, this transformation. Through countless interviews and extensive research, he weaves together a powerful account of how and why men and women are ceasing to pair off and have kids. He reveals how sexual appetites and behaviours are both shaped by, and reshaping the evolving economy, and he considers both the dangers and the opportunities of the rise in solo living in Japan-and beyond. For although this is a Japanese story, it will soon be playing out all around the world. A low birth rate, an ageing society, and a shrinking population are visible everywhere from Spain to South Korea. Japan is simply further down the line. So this really is a journey to the future: sex robots and herbivorous men are now Japanese phenomena, but they may soon be coming for us all.

A Journey Into the Future
