Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. New Hall is one of the oldest inhabited moated houses in England. Built of local sandstone and warm Midlands brick, it sits in what was once the vast hunting forests of Sutton Chase, in the ancient county of Warwickshire. Sir Nicholas Pevsner, the great 20th century British architectural historian, describes New Hall's plaster ceilings, Solar (known as the Great Chamber), the seventeenth century staircase and various other additions as 'a major mansion in a moat'.The house was added to and adorned by subsequent owners, including the Earls of Warwick, whose fortunes rose and fell in the social, political and economic upheavals over the centuries; it is this story, told for the first time, that is England's history in miniature. This is a house that has lasted almost a millennium and the light bouncing off the lily-filled moat, its diamond-shard mullioned windows, their rippling ancient glass, the elegant hubris of the Victorian cupola-ed, castellated wing, are now enjoyed by guests of the wonderful, luxury hotel it is today.Written by Kate Holt, an internationally acclaimed photojournalist, with a foreword by Dr David Owen, OBE, a member of the last private family to own New Hall, this is a book that will engage, delight and inform. New Hall is one of the oldest moated houses in England situated in Sutton Chase, Warwickshire and its owners included the Earls of Warwick whose fortunes rose and fell according to the political and economic pressures of the times. This is the history of England's in 5 centuries and illustrated with atmospheric photography of New Hall itself.

Paperback. Zustand: New. 1) Do you know that to peruse a book is not to skim it? 2) Do you know the difference between enormous and enormity? 3) Do you know the adjective form of admonish, or the noun form of dubious? If you answered no to any of these questions, you need Word Smart. Improving your vocabulary is important, but where do you start? The English language has hundreds of thousands of words. To find out which words you absolutely need to know, The Princeton Review researched the vocabularies of educated adults. It analyzed newspapers from The New York Times to The Wall Street Journal, magazines from Time to Scientific American and books from current bestsellers to classics. It threw out the words that most people know and focused on the words that people misunderstand or misuse. From these, it selected 823 words that appeared most frequently. And for students, The Princeton Review did the same thing. It analyzed the PSAT, the SAT, and GRE to determine which words are tested more frequently. Word Smart is the only vocabulary book you'll ever need. (Answers: 1) Despite what most people think, peruse means to read carefully. 2) Enormity can refer to the state of being large, but it also means a wicked or depraved act. 3) Admonitory, dubiety.).…

SYNOPSIS: Face the Future presents a radical strategy for social democrats. It savages centralised bureaucratic state-oriented socialism. David Owen argues passionately for a shift in attitude in favour of a democracy of greater involvement where persuasion and consent predominate. He attacks the growing corporatist trend and advocates democratic rights for workers in industry and an expansion of worker co-operatives. The book is irreverent and challenging in its advocacy of open government, parliamentary reform, national and regional assemblies, and greater freedom for local government and the Health Service. Reviving the internationalist traditions of socialism, he argues with conviction against unilateralism and withdrawal, emphasising the need for negotiations over disarmament and arms control and for transforming the European community. David Owen writes about the values of socialism, how to foster a climate of altruism, how to marry equality with fraternity in a decentralised disaggregated society. He offers a coherent tough-minded strategy for tackling Britain's deep-seated economic and industrial problems linking market socialism and egalitarian socialism in a way which is neither revisionist nor traditionalist. Face the Future promises to be one of the most constructive contributions to the political debate in Britain, from a writer who at the age of forty-two has been in government for seven of the last twelve years as Foreign Secretary, Minister of Health and Under-Secretary of the Royal Navy. Dr David Owen was Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs from 1977 to 1979. He is the Labour Member of Parliament for Plymouth, Devonport. He was born in 1938 in Plymouth, and educated at Bradfield College, at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, and at St Thomas's Hospital, where from 1964 to 1966 he was Neurological and Psychiatric Registrar, and from 1966 to 1968 Research Fellow in the Medical Unit. Before his election to parliament for the Sutton Division of Plymouth in 1966 Dr Owen contested Torrington in 1964. After his election he became, in 1966, Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Minister of Defence, Administration. From 1968 to 1970 he was Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Defence (Royal Navy). When labour went into opposition in 1970, he became an Opposition front bench spokesman on defence until his resignation in 1972 on the question of Britain's membership of the European Community. Since the general election of February 1974, following constituency boundary changes, he has represented the Devonport Division of Plymouth. He was Minister of State with responsibility for Health in the Department of Health and Social Security from 1974 to 1976, when he guided through parliament the Children Act, which he had first introduced as a Private Member's Bill. In September 1976 he became Minister of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, where he was responsible for European Community affairs. In February 1977 he was appointed Foreign Secretary, at 38 the youngest Foreign Secretary since the late Lord Avon, then Mr Anthony Ed. …

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. ***FIRST DAY COVER SIGNED BY DAVID OWEN INCLUDED*** Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Illus. With Photos (illustrator). First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. In Sickness and in Power. This book is a unique study of illness in heads of government between 1901-2077. It considers how illness and therapy - both physical and mental - affect the process of government and decision-making, leading to acts of folly, in the sense of stupidity or rashness. The author is particularly interested in leaders who were not ill in the conventional sense, and whose cognitive faculties functioned well, but who developed what he calls a 'hubris syndrome', which powerfully affected their performance and their actions. Such leaders suffer a loss of capacity and become excessively self-confident and contemptuous of advice that runs counter to what they believe, or even of any advice at all. Long fascinated with the inter-relationship between politics and medicine, David Owen uses his deep knowledge of both to look at sickness in a wide variety of world political leaders. The book ends by outlining some of the safeguards that society needs to address as a consequence of illness in heads of government. This book sheds new light on familiar faces and events. It is a fascinating read for anyone with an interest in history or medicine. Illustrated. 420 pp. Illus. With Photos (illustrator). Signed by Author(s).…
