The Bow Group
"James Barr's extensively researched and entertaining account of the Bow Group's first fifty years charts its history from the first meeting at the Bow and Bromley Conservative Club in February 1951 - when Geoffrey Howe, William Rees-Mogg and Norman St. John Stevas were among the first participants - through increasing significance as those early members reached positions of influence in national politics, to its current place in Tory thinking."--BOOK JACKET.
Artists of the East London Group
The remarkable story of how a group of untrained London artists became an art world sensation in the interwar years. This is the first study of the East London Group, an important group of artists, who despite achieving commercial success in the late 1920s and early 1930s, are largely unknown today. Their atmospheric paintings depicting scenes from everyday life and their London surroundings are now highly sought after as the talents of the group are being rediscovered. Inspired by the charismatic teacher John Cooper, its artists, mainly working-class people with little art world experience, achieved shows at the Whitechapel Art Gallery, Tate Gallery, and around the UK. Then, amazingly, two of them reached the Venice Biennale in 1936. This fascinating book is based on correspondence and interviews with the group members plus archival research over many years. Richly illustrated, the group’s story is examined in captivating detail, with biographies of all the artists and a list showing where readers can see their paintings today.

The Belly of the Bow
Colours in the Steel, Volume One of the Fencer Trilogy, introduced a remarkable new voice in fantasy fiction. The Belly of the Bow confirms that rich promise and establishes K. J. Parker in the top rank of writers. The city of Perimadeia has fallen. Bardas Loredan, the man who was supposed to save it, is now living on the Island -- a recluce, living apart from his family in the mountains, with only a young apprentice for company. His life as a fencer-at-law is over. Instead, Loredon spends his days perfecting the art of bow-making. But his isolation will not last forever; and when the Island comes under attack, his skills as a soldier and general are once again called upon.
Masters of the Universe
How radical free-market ideas achieved mainstream dominance in postwar America and Britain Based on archival research and interviews with leading participants in the movement, Masters of the Universe traces the ascendancy of neoliberalism from the academy of interwar Europe to supremacy under Reagan and Thatcher and in the decades since. Daniel Stedman Jones argues that there was nothing inevitable about the victory of free-market politics. Far from being the story of the simple triumph of right-wing ideas, the neoliberal breakthrough was contingent on the economic crises of the 1970s and the acceptance of the need for new policies by the political left. This edition includes a new foreword in which the author addresses the relationship between intellectual history and the history of politics and policy. Fascinating, important, and timely, this is a book for anyone who wants to understand the history behind the Anglo-American love affair with the free market, as well as the origins of the current economic crisis.

The Conservative Party and European Integration Since 1945
This volume provides an up-to-date and comprehensive introduction to British policy in Europe. By exploring the schisms within the party over Europe, through primary source-based history and theoretical discourses of political science, N.J. Crowson gives the reader the best sense of understanding of how and why the Conservative party’s policy attitudes to European integration have evolved. The Conservative Party and European Integration since 1945 adopts a thematic line based around two chronological periods, 1945–75 and 1975–2006, and uses different methodological approaches. It explores the shifting stances amongst Conservatives within an economic, political and international context...
