This book opens out a wholly new field of enquiry within a familiar subject: it offers a detailed – yet eminently readable – historical investigation, of a kind never yet undertaken, of the impact of psychoanalysis (at a crucial moment of its history) on the thinking and writing of D.H. Lawrence. It considers the impact on his writing, through his relationship with Frieda Weekley, of the maverick Austrian analyst Otto Gross; it situates the great works of 1911-20 in relation to the controversial issues at stake in the Freud-Jung quarrel, about which his good friend, the English psychoanalyst David Eder, kept him informed; and it explores his sympathy with the maverick American analyst Trigant Burrow. It is a study to interest a literary audience by its close reading of Lawrence’s texts, and a psychoanalytic audience by its detailed consideration of the contribution made to contemporary debate by three comparatively neglected analytic thinkers.

In the 1980s the world spent an enormous amount on preparations for war. Year by year, more and more resources went into the military sector. More and more complex weapon systems were devised. At the time, of all research scientists and engineers in the world, more than one in four was working for the military.Throughout the 40 years since the end of World War II, the technological arms race continued. Then began moving faster. The United States lead the way, followed by the Soviet Union. Between them, they possessed some 50 000 nuclear warheads—more than enough to destroy the world. They planned to increase the number, to make the weapons more accurate, and to base them on new weapon platforms closer to the borders of the other side. Some people preferred not to think about these things. Many, however, were becoming increasingly concerned—wondering about the future for themselves and for their children. Originally published in 1985, this book was for those who wanted to know what was happening. What new missiles were being built? What was happening in outer space? What are the facts about chemical weapons? What progress was being made (if any) in Geneva, Vienna and Stockholm, where the powers were negotiating on these matters?

When Lloyd George became Prime Minister during the First World War he appointed a private secretariat to help him run the complex machinery of wartime government. This book, drawing extensively on private and public archives, describes the work of that Secretariat during its two years of existence and discusses its contribution to policy-making and to the development of the Prime Minister's office. The 'Garden Suburb', so named from its temporary offices in the garden of 10 Downing Street, has won a poor reputation. Contemporaries described it as a nest of intrigue and imperialist, anti-democratic sentiment which helped to turn Lloyd George from a great Radical into a cynical dictator; and historians have tended to accept their word. This examination reveals a different picture. On the one hand, wartime government was imperfectly co-ordinated, and members of the Secretariat performed a genuine administrative task in helping Lloyd George to supervise it and save it from breakdown, although their small number and limited resources allowed them to cover only a few politically sensitive questions. On the other hand, the Garden Suburb was more eclectic in its ideological and political affiliations than has been allowed. Home Rule, collective security, temperance, state supervision of industry, Christian Science and the revival of agriculture, as well as imperial unity and opposition to socialism, each contributed through the Secretariat to the climate of ideas in which policy was made.

The history and causes of America's entry into World War I. Edward Grey could have prevented war if he had done either of two things. If he had acceded to the urging of France and Russia and given a strong warning to Germany that, in a European War, England would take the side of the Franco-Russian Alliance. If he had listened to German urging, and warned France and Russia that if they became involved in war, England would remain neutral.

Harold Macmillan presided over the dissolution of the British Empire and the first stages of irreversible economic decline. It was an unlucky end to a political career which had seen Britain's steady extinction as a Great Power, and his reputation will depend on how posterity judges his understanding of these changes, and his skill in adapting himself and his country to meet them. This short but trenchant study of his aims, abilities and achievements concentrates on the premiership, against the background of his political education and rise to power.

The old mining camp holds many secrets, and as Mason draws closer to a horrible truth, he will need all his cunning and courage to face down Sam's killer.

This excellent collection of over 200 photographs of Ponteland allows us a fascinating glimpse of people, places and events in and around Ponteland over the last 100 years or so. The basic layout of Ponteland, centred on the line of the 1830 turnpike to Scotland, has changed little with other changes in the community occurring subtly over the years: perhaps going unnoticed at the time. However, the alterations, demolitions and rebuilding become evident from this pictorial record. The most important aspect of a community is its people, all of whom play some part, whether large or small, in the history of that community. Those responsible for the Cottage Homes are recalled - providing accommodation for children away from the influences of life in the workhouse. 'Coffee Tommy' is remembered with affection as one of the area's more colourful characters. Suffering centuries of Border conflict at the hands of both the Scots and the English, it was, however, the distant conflicts of the Boer and world wars that in fact impact most upon the lives of Ponteland people. Many young men in the community served in these conflicts and are remembered here, along with those who worked hard to raise funds for the soldiers. The leisure time of Ponteland residents has been filled in a variety of ways, with clubs for cricket and football originating from the unlikely source of Miss Holt the choirmistress! Annual events range from agricultural and flower shows to the wheelbarrow race held each New Year Day. All of this and much more besides is brought to life through this superb pictorial journey in time, accompanied by an informed and interesting narrative.

The allure of the Appalachian Trail has drawn hikers from all around the world to walk its 2,193 miles from Georgia to Maine. In Killing the Buddha on the Appalachian Trail John Turner hikes those rugged miles with us on a journey that begins in the forested southern mountains but also winds through the history of the trail, its geology, its unique hiker culture and the hazards, physical demands, and glories of some of the most beloved and beautiful landscapes on America’s eastern seaboard.The journey also takes us to some unexpected places – to Africa in the aftermath of a terrible war, into philosophical exploration about the ethics of hiking, and the author’s own inner turmoil as he struggles with past failures. We are introduced to characters as varied, brave and determined as any cast of a Broadway musical, each of them contending with the challenge of climbing steep mountains day after day through rain, mud, cold, and heat.Throughout this epic trek, we walk alongside Turner to experience the daily hardships, the milestones reached, the hike-ending accidents and the little victories along the way to the great mountain at the northern terminus – Katahdin in Maine. Turner guides us to Katahdin through a background of Buddhist teaching that gives meaning to the fellowship, solitude, suffering and ultimate triumph of the men and women who seek to hike the entire Appalachian Trail.

Discover from Old Testament Hebrew prophecies, hidden in the annual Jewish celebrations, the ways that God sought to prepare the Jewish people for the coming of their Messiah. He has come as the Passover Lamb of God, and will return soon as the Redeemer of the Nation. The spring feasts of Passover, First Fruits, Unleavened Bread and Pentecost teach us many important truths about the salvation of God, and about the life of victory and celebration he intends for his people to live in this world. The fall feasts, that await the culmination of their prophetic fulfillment, prefigure the return of our Redeemer in glory and power to establish his Kingdom on the earth. The Jewish calendar confirms hidden details of the fulfillment of all these feasts, past and future. A detailed gospel harmony, blended with historical fact, with dates and times for many of the events of surrounding the Last Supper, reveals evidence of how the divine plan brought about the crucifixion, and what took place in the days that followed.
