A dark, political thriller about inequality and social discontent.

A dark, political thriller about inequality and social discontent.

Guyler A: The Nobodies / B

The Nobodies

A fairer, healthier, more caring and sustainable society is entirely within our grasp. This book shows us the way. How do we ensure that everyone has good health and is cared for when in need?How do we provide education that allows every child to flourish?How do we ensure safety, justice and a healthy environment now and for future generations?How can we finally solve the problems of poverty and inequality that drive all the others?Kate Pickett is one of the most renowned thinkers and leaders in social science. Her life's work has been to identify the underlying causes behind society's key challenges and how to solve them. In The Good Society she draws on the deepest insights and the strongest evidence produced by social science over the last three decades to present a roadmap for change. Ultimately, she shows that solving the fundamental problems of poverty and equality would enhance the quality of life for us all.

And How We Get There

The Good Society

'Glamour, scholarship and superlative storytelling [...] an enthralling read.'LUCY WORSLEYAdrian Tinniswood opens the doors on the excess, intrigue and absurdities of life in the late Victorian and Edwardian country houseIn the decades before the First World War, the owners of the nation's stately homes revelled in a golden age of glory and glamour. Nothing lay beyond their reach in a world where privilege and hedonism went hand-in-hand with duty and honour. This was a time when the ancestral seats of ancient nobility stood side-by-side with the fabulous palaces of Jewish bankers and Indian princes, when dukes and duchesses mixed with aristocratic society hostesses who had learned to dance in the chorus line and self-made millionaires who had been raised in the slums of Manchester and Birmingham. The Power and the Glory explores the country house during this golden age, when Britain ruled over a quarter of the world's population, when its stately homes were at their most opulent and when, for the privileged few, life in the country house was the best life of all. 'A wonderful book.'JUDITH FLANDERS'Scintillating and brilliant, from a master of the subject.'GARETH RUSSELL

Staging the Lyric

Florence, New Year's Day 1557. As dawn breaks, a painter is discovered lying on the floor of a church, stabbed through the heart. Above him, the paintings he laboured over for more than a decade. At his home, a hidden painting scandalously depicting Maria de Medici, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Florence, as a naked Venus. Who is the murderer? Who is behind the painting? As the city erupts in chaos, Giorgio Vasari, the great art historian, is picked to lead the investigation. Letters fly back and forth carrying news of political plots and speculation about the killer's identity - between Maria and her aunt Catherine de' Medici, the queen of France; between Catherine and her scheming agents in Florence; and between Vasari and his friend Michelangelo. Meanwhile, the Pope is banning books and branding works of art immoral. And the truth, when it comes to light, is as shocking as the bold new artworks that have made Florence the red-hot centre of Europe. Bursting with characters and colour, Perspectives is a mystery like no other that shows us Renaissance Florence as we've never seen it before - a dazzling, hugely entertaining novel of court machinations, murder and art.

Global Connections

This book offers a sociological study of corporate social responsibility, looking beyond the question of whether it is primarily a marketing concern, to understand how the terms of debates around corporate social responsibility are being set with regard to responsibility - and where it lies - in the global economy. Investigating the relations between businesses, the workers who contribute to their output, and the communities in which they operate, the author draws on a textual analysis of corporate social responsibility-related documents and interviews with corporate social responsibility professionals, representatives from certification schemes, shareholder groups, government officials, trade unionists and campaigners to offer a framework for categorising discourse on corporate social responsibility. This framework is applied to a series of recent case studies, including the factory-focused 'Keep Burberry British' campaign to prevent work being outsourced overseas; the event-focused 'PlayFair 2012' campaign for workers making official Olympic merchandise; and product-focused campaigns for cut flower workers, to consider the ways in which globalising corporate social responsibility discourse is mobilised in practice by different groups and the consequences, With attention to the wider implications for governance that follow from the power relations that characterise corporate social responsibility, this book will appeal to scholars of sociology with interests in governance, the sociology of work and organisations, employment relationships and conditions for workers in global production networks.
