Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. How are great turning points in history experienced by individuals?As Britain pulls away from Europe great British writers come together to give voice to their innermost feelings. These writers include novelists, writers of books for children, of comic books, humourists, historians, biographers, nature writers, film writers, travel writers, writers young and old and from an extraordinary range of backgrounds. Most are famous perhaps because they have won the Booker or other literary prizes, written bestsellers, changed the face of popular culture or sold millions of records. Others are not yet household names but write with depth of insight and feeling.There is some extraordinary writing in this book. Some of these pieces are expressions of love of particular places in Europe. Some are true stories, some nostalgic, some hopeful. Some are cries of pain. There are hilarious pieces. There are cries of pain and regret. Some pieces are quietly devastating. All are passionate.Conceived as a love letter to Europe, this book may also help reawaken love for Britain. It shows the unique richness and diversity of British cultures, a multitude of voices in harmony.Contributors include:Hugh Aldersey-Williams, Philip Ardagh, Jake Arnott, Patricia Atkinson, Paul Atterbury, Richard Beard, Mary Beard, Don Boyd, Melvyn Bragg, Gyles Brandreth, Kathleen Burke, James Buxton, Philip Carr, Brian Catling, Shami Chakrabarti, Chris Cleave, Mark Cocker, Peter Conradi , Heather Cooper, Frank Cottrell-Boyce, Roger Crowley, David Crystal, William Dalrymple, Lindsey Davies, Margaret Drabble, Mark Ellen, Richard Evans, Michel Faber, Sebastian Faulks, Ranulph Fiennes, Robert Fox, James Fox, Neil Gaiman, Evelyn Glennie, James Hanning, Nick Hayes, Alan Hollinghurst, Gabby Hutchinson-Crouch, Will Hutton, Robert Irwin, Holly Johnson , Liane Jones, Ruth Jones, Sam Jordison, Kapka Kassabova, AL Kennedy, Hermione Lee, Prue Leith, Patrick Lenox, Roger Lewis, David Lindo, Penelope Lively, Beth Lync, Richard Mabey, Sue MacGregor, Ian Martin, Frank McDonough, Jonathan Meades, Andrew Miller, Deborah Moggach, Ben Moor, Alan Moore, Paul Morley, Jackie Morris, Charles Nicholl, Richard Overy, Chris Riddell, Adam Roberts, Tony Robinson, Lee Rourke, Sophie Sabbage, Marcus Sedgwick, Richard Shirreff, Paul Stanford, Isy Suttie, Sandi Toksvig, Colin Tudge, Ed Vulliamy, Anna Whitelock, Kate Williams, Michael Wood, Louisa Young.

If diversity, equity, and inclusion programs strike you as discriminatory, are you just racist? Are you a prude if you do not want sexually explicit books about "gender" in your child's school library? "Experts" and the radical left want you to think that on these hot-button issues, Americans are split down the middle-polarized. They want you to think that at least half of your fellow citizens hold views that only yesterday everyone considered crazy. And they want to make you afraid of not being on the "enlightened" side.But it turns out that this polarization is a myth.With clarity and optimism, Jonathan Butcher dismantles the myth of a fractured nation, showing how our underlying agreement on character, virtue, and our shared sense of national identity can guide lawmakers and communities toward policies that help everyone have a chance at the good life and the American Dream. In a time when headlines scream of division and mutual antagonism, The Polarization Myth offers a refreshing perspective: Americans are more united than you think. Drawing from a survey of over 2,000 citizens along with robust research, Butcher uncovers a surprising consensus on today's most contentious issues-from education and civics to race and gender.

Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very good. Jonathan Bardett (Jacket illustration) and Stuart (illustratore). xii, 315, [5] pages. A Note to the Reader. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Lindsey Fitzharris (born 1982) is an American author, medical historian, and television host. She is the creator of the blog The Chirurgeon's Apprentice, and the writer and host of the Smithsonian Channel TV series The Curious Life and Death of. She is a resident of the United Kingdom. Fitzharris holds a Ph.D. in the History of Science, Medicine & Technology, received from the University of Oxford in 2009. She was awarded a postdoctoral award from the Wellcome Trust in 2010. In 2017, she published The Butchering Art: Joseph Lister's Quest to Transform the Grisly World of Victorian Medicine, a biography of surgical pioneer Joseph Lister. The book won the PEN/E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award, and was named an American Library Association Notable Nonfiction book for 2018. To date, The Butchering Art has been translated into fourteen languages. Fitzharris has written for publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, Scientific American, and New Scientist. In March 2019, Fitzharris appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience. Her interview was #1 on Chartable, with millions of downloads in the first week. Her second book, The Facemaker: A Visionary Surgeon's Battle to Mend the Disfigured Soldiers of World War I, is about plastic surgery pioneer Harold Gillies. The audiobook was narrated by Daniel Gillies, the great, great nephew of Sir Harold Gillies. Derived from a Kirkus review: The author of The Butchering Art returns with "a new perspective on the terrible consequences of trench warfare, and the private battles that many men fought long after they put down their rifles." "Disfigured soldiers," writes Fitzharris, "often suffered self-imposed isolation from society following their return from war." While this has been true throughout history, the vast increase in military technology during World War I produced an avalanche of torn flesh and mutilated body parts that overwhelmed surgeons. Among more than 20 million injured, nearly 300,000 soldiers suffered facial trauma. In this often graphic yet inspiring book, the author focuses on Harold Gillies (1882-1960), a successful British ear, nose, and throat surgeon whose pioneering work in repairing faces places him among the war's few true heroes. Sent to France early in the war, he observed freelance dental surgeons (the Royal Army Medical Corps had none) experimenting with facial reconstruction. He quickly established that the first principle of battlefield surgeryâ"to close gaping woundsâ"was a disaster for jaw and facial injuries. Unless the damaged underlying structures were repaired first, the procedures guaranteed a grotesque end result. Returning to the Queen's Hospital in London, Gillies persuaded the chief surgeon to establish a facial injury ward, which eventually grew to more than 1,000 beds and employed dozens of surgeon, dentists, artists, and sculptors who pioneered a new specialty: plastic surgery. The author's case reports of individual soldiers are not for the faint of heart, but she delivers a consistently vivid account of the ingenious techniques involving skin flaps, grafting, reconstruction, and prostheses, most of which Gillies and colleagues invented. Many victims required dozens of painful procedures, and not all succeeded, but his accomplishments, along with his compassion, made him an object of worship from patients. A "genuine visionary in his field," he received a good deal of favorable publicity in the media but only modest official recognition, including a knighthood in 1930, and he continued to practice until his death. An excellent biography of a genuine miracle worker. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].
