        The Second Labour Government

        A reappraisal

        by John Shepherd

        This new edited collection of essays focuses on the history of Labour's second period in office during the 1929-1931 global financial crisis. Contributions by leading historians and younger academics bring fresh perspectives to Labour's domestic problems, electoral and party matters, relations with the Soviet Union and ideological questions. An important range of new historical research provides a much-needed reappraisal of Ramsay MacDonald's second Labour government, which impressed few with its conventional policies for tackling mass unemployment. Oswald Mosley, John Maynard Keynes and Ernest Bevin's alternative economic strategies are critically studied in key essays. A more positive side of the government's policies is also adeptly revealed on consumerism and agriculture. Significant new light is adroitly shed on the 1929 general election, the first fought on a universal franchise. The intricate politics of the Parliamentary Labour Party and the disaffiliation of the Independent Labour Party are convincingly explored. The influence of the Soviet Union on Labour's thoughts and actions is analysed in valuable accounts of Labour's foreign policy and Labour's turn to socialism after 1931. An important fresh account of opposition politics breaks new ground on the reaction of Tory politicians, including Harold Macmillan, to MacDonald's government. The volume concludes with an absorbing analysis of the myths surrounding '1931' in Labour history. This timely volume makes accessible a major reassessment of existing knowledge and new scholarship that will appeal to students and teachers of British political and social history. It is essential reading for sixth form and university courses on twentieth-century history. ;

        Wunderbare Reisen und Abenteuer der kleinen Dott, Band I

        by Tamara Ramsay, Alfred Seidel

        Die Kleine Dott is an adventure and coming-of-age novel for young people, especially girls, with elements of saga and fantasy. Dott, the heroine, is a twelve-year old girl who lives in a village near Berlin between the two World Wars. When Dott sneaks out to see the bonfire of the midsummer night, the Rennefarre, a magical flower falls into her shoe. That makes her invisible. She can also speak with animals and magical creatures and look back into the past. Flying across the country on the backs of crows and herons, Dott experiences adventures and lives through moments in history others can only read about. But she always has one goal in mind: returning home to her family. The book is the new edition of Tamara Ramsay's popular book for children and young adults in the original three volumes with the original, long lost drawings and covers by Alfred Seidel.  The three volumes are slightly shortened without anything of their content been lost. The language has been gently modernized. The book promotes friendship among different cultures and peoples, the empowerment of girls, and the protection of animals. Die kleine Dott, ein zwölfjähriges Mädchen, wohnt in der Prignitz bei Berlin um die Jahrhundertwende. Ihr Leben nimmt eine dramatische Wende, als sie sich zum Mittsommernachtsfeuer aus dem Haus schleicht. Dabei fällt die Rennefarre, eine magischen Pflanze, in ihre Schuhe. Nun kann sie sehen, was den Menschen sonst unsichtbar bleibt — Geister, Märchenfiguren, historische Gestalten. Sie kann Tiere verstehen und mit ihnen sprechen und sie kann tief in die Geschichte blicken. Für die Menschen aber ist Dott nun selber eine unsichtbare Geistergestalt. Um den Zauber loszuwerden, muss sie ihr zuhause verlassen, und nachdem sie die Fähigkeit hat, sich klein zu machen, reist sie mit Gurian, dem Reiher und Cornix, der Krähe durch das ganze Land. Dies ist die neue Ausgabe des beliebten Kinder-und Jugendbuchs von Tamara Ramsay in den originalen drei Bänden mit den originalen Zeichnungen und Titelbildern von Alfred Seidel, die viele Jahrzehnte nicht oder nur stark gekürzt erhältlich war. Die drei Bände sind leicht gekürzt, ohne etwas vom Inhalt zu verlieren, die Sprache ist behutsam modernisiert. Die Kleine Dott ist ein Abenteuer- und Entwicklungsroman mit Sagen- und Fantasie-Elementen, in dem Völkerverständigung, Heimatkunde und Tierschutz vereint sind.

        Microdoses

        A poetry book written by Enrique Bunbury, focusing on his personal life and microdoses as a form of self-discovery.

        by Enrique Bunbury

        MicroDosis is a diary written during the last two years in which Enrique Bunbury decides to experiment in his conscience the ingestion of microdoses of psilocybin. The genre chosen by the author to narrate this inner journey is poetry. In this way Bunbury consolidates his incursion into literature after the appearance in 2021 of his first collection of poems Exilio Topanga (La Bella Varsovia) adding to the aesthetic features present in that one an atmosphere of psychedelia and a critique of "the mental norm" of the system. MicroDosis is an experiential and intimate book that contemplates the daily routine with eyes that open without hesitation the doors of another perception. Space and time acquire a new depth, just as they do in Krishnamurti's diaries, grafting onto its passages the heritage of the American beat generation, the oneirism of David Lynch and a very filmic plasticity that runs through Los Angeles with a neural network in flames. Taking the words of Vicente Gallego in his prologue: "Of that extinction of oneself in the cosmic amplitude, of those inner journeys where the familiar becomes unacceptable and the prodigious dawns to its prodigality the pages of this book written with his underpants off, but full of affection for everything, including the always vain spectacle of this world, speak to us." Four editions since March 2023 6000 copies sold
