Noakes L: The People's Victory

The People's Victory

VE Day Through the Eyes of Those Who Were There

Christine Lagarde is a woman of firsts: first female head of the IMF, first female President of the ECB - and all without a classic career path through the world of finance. In her first autobiography, she recounts her rise, her successes and setbacks, and her fight against prejudice. It sheds light on the great crises of the global economy, her courageous decisions, and her distinctive perspective on power, emancipation, and change. Complemented by the voices of her most important companions, the result is a multifaceted portrait of a woman who breaks boundaries and consistently challenges the status quo.

Foundations of Fashion Studies

By the 1940s the New York fashion industry had come into its own. Sportswear, which had evolved from its origins to include simple casual wear for travel, leisure, town and country, was at the centre of this shift. Drawing on an array of sources, this book examines how New York sportswear evolved during the 1930s and 1940s to become the definitive American style. It reveals how designers such as Claire McCardell, Clare Potter and Tina Leser created a fashion identity for New York that was as dynamic and modern as the city itself. Author Rebecca Arnold interrogates the American ideal of athletic, long-limbed women and looks for the first time at how sportswear impacted and was impacted by ideas of patriotism and democracy, as well as its links to notions of cleanliness and hygiene, and to 1930s theories of body image and contemporary dance. As part of the Foundations of Fashion Studies series, this classic text now includes a new foreword by Emma McClendon and a new afterword and further reading list by the author.

Fashion, Sportswear and the Image of Women in 1930s and 1940s New York

The American Look

*A New York Times Notable Book * A Financial Times Best Book of the Year 'A learned, formidable and vivid story... Readers around the world will study and ponder this monumental work of history, agreeing and arguing with it, all the while affirming its generational importance, for decades to come' The New York Times 'Epic... Read this book and you will learn innumerable things you did not previously know culled from places you have never been' Financial Times A brilliant global narrative that unravels the defining story of the past thousand years No other phenomenon has shaped human history as decisively as capitalism. It structures how we live and work, how we think about ourselves and others, how we organise our politics. Sven Beckert situates the story of capitalism within the largest conceivable geographical and historical framework in this fascinating new book.Capitalism, argues Beckert, was born global. Emerging from merchant communities across Asia, Africa and Europe, capitalism's radical recasting of economic life rooted itself only gradually. Then it burst onto the world scene, as European states and merchants built a powerful alliance that would propel them across the oceans. This epic drama corresponded at no point to an idealised dream of free markets. All along, state-backed institutions and imperial expansions shaped its dynamics.Capitalism decentres the European perspective, highlighting agency, resistance, innovation and ruthless coercion around the world through to the present with the rise of Asian economies, particularly China. Sven Beckert doesn't merely add up capitalism's debits and credits in this monumental book, but allows us to think afresh about the past to help us re-imagine the future.

Anthem Critical Introductions

A history of immigration law as a legal discipline: how it has been constrained and unconstrained by developments in migration policy, international law, constitutional law and legal theory.

An Intellectual History of Migration Law and Policy c.1535-2020

An important account of how trade unions fought for education in Britain.Trade unions played a massive part in shaping Britain's democracy. But today it's easy to forget that one of their signal achievements was transforming access to education for working people. In Libraries gave us power, Gavin McCann tells the story of how the trade union movement fought for education, untapping the potential of millions. Following the self-taught activists who refused to accept exclusion, he traces their struggles across two-hundred years of history, highlighting successes such as the creation of Oxford's Ruskin College and the earliest elections of working-class MPs. This is a story that carries on into the present, as unions continue to offer essential support through training, learning programmes and campaigns to help workers in a changing economy - all rooted in values that would be instantly recognisable to the movement's pioneers. Rescuing a history that is fast disappearing from view, Libraries gave us power is essential reading for anyone who wants to know the truth about education, democracy and working-class power in modern Britain.

Interventions: Rethinking the Nineteenth Century

Speculative endeavors describes the connections between speculation and minoritarian subjects and practices during the rise of capitalism in the US. Drawing on diverse historical perspectives, the volume challenges conventional historiographic narratives by spotlighting historic agents traditionally excluded from discussions of knowledge and capitalism. Through a series of meticulously researched essays on pedagogical practices, domestic manners, public court cases, and behind-the-scenes publishing habits, the book delves into the quotidian forms of knowledge on the fringes of nineteenth-century society. Each original contribution sheds light on how seemingly inconsequential narratives are part of the fabric of the period's burgeoning market economy and financial capitalism. Speculative endeavors is a call to reconceptualize our understanding of the past. Through its rigorous analyses of epistemic and economic practices and compelling narratives of marginalized agents, this groundbreaking collection invites readers to reconsider the intersections of power, privilege, and precarity in the turbulent times between the early republic and the Gilded Age.

DOGA 2025

Genus Homo

Olmo Gómez Aldaz (Bilbao, 1971) es víctima de sustracción de identidad y adopción fraudulenta. Registrado como expósito y criado con una filiación falsa, tardó casi cuarenta años en encontrar a su familia biológica y confirmar, mediante prueba de ADN, su verdadera filiación. Licenciado en Ciencias Físicas y profesor de matemáticas, lucha por el reconocimiento de los crímenes de identidad y la reparación de sus víctimas.

DOGA 2025 no es una novela ni una autoficción: es la declaración personal de una víctima de sustracción de identidad y adopción fraudulenta que decide poner por escrito, de forma ordenada y verificable, cómo el Estado y la Iglesia destruyeron su filiación y la mantuvieron oculta durante más de medio siglo.

El libro reproduce íntegramente el documento DOGA presentado como declaración de víctima ante la Ley 20/2022, acompañado de un preámbulo jurídico y de un archivo de pruebas que incluye registros civiles y parroquiales, escrituras notariales, informes periciales, pruebas de ADN, autos y sentencias que restituyen la filiación biológica de Olmo Gómez Aldaz. Pagina a página, el lector puede seguir la pista documental de un caso concreto que, sin embargo, habla de miles.

Esta obra es, a la vez, memoria personal, pieza jurídica y denuncia política. DOGA 2025 pone nombre a los crímenes de identidad cometidos a través de la adopción y reclama verdad, justicia y reparación para quienes fueron convertidos en "expósitos" a la fuerza. No es un libro cómodo, pero sí necesario.

A Feisty Woman

Empire and Big Business in the Twentieth-Century British State

The Business State

A classic, seventeenth-century Chinese guide to the harmony of ordinary objects of everyday life Written in the seventeenth century by Chinese scholar Wen Zhenheng, Treatise on Superfluous Things offers a compelling glimpse into the tastes and cultural values of the educated elite in late Ming China. This guide to everyday items—from window frames and old master paintings to caged birds, fruits, and vegetables—is the most complete surviving account of the material and cultural tastes of the era in one of China’s largest and richest cities. It is also a guide to finding joy, pleasure, and harmony in the everyday objects that surround us.

Treatise on Superfluous Things

Fleeing Soviet-occupied Vilnius in 1940, a girl and her parents arrive in German-occupied Poland. This child's-eye account brings wartime and refugee experiences vividly to life.

On the Run in Occupied Poland presents the daily wartime experiences of a Polish-Catholic girl. Written as an adult by Gräyna Gross, née Pötowicz (1931-2022), this collection of vignettes communicates uncannily the perspective of the child Gross was at the time, while also conveying her adult thoughts on the strategies human beings deploy to stay alive as refugees in times of war.

This unusual contribution to the history of Occupied Poland highlights the fates of dispossessed Polish families as a result of both the Russian Revolution and the division of Poland in World War II.

Providing concrete details of lived experience during these monumental events, this "paramemoir" constitutes a type of life-writing that goes beyond a single individual. It is a life story with enhancements in the form of factual footnotes, rare photographic evidence, a map, and contextualizing commentary in the form of essays by Joyce Gross, the author's daughter, Irene Kacandes, a professor and friend, and Aleksandra Szczepan, a scholar educated in Kraków, the city in which Gross spent the longest period of the war.

A compelling source for further research into how the occupation of Poland from both East and West affected non-Jewish Poles, this book will be treasured by historians as well as ordinary readers for its surprising insights into a difficult refugee childhood that overshadowed a whole life.
