The Immutable Laws of Mankind

The Immutable Laws of Mankind

Alastair Davidson

Springer
2012
sidottu
The key question for the history of universal human rights is why it took so long for them to become established as law. The main theme of this book is that the attainment of universal human rights required heroic struggle, first by individuals and then by ever-increasing numbers of people who supported those views against the major historical trends. Universal human rights are won from a hostile majority by outsiders. The chapters in the book describe the milestones in that struggle. The history presented in this book shows that, in most places at most times, even today, for concrete material reasons a great many people oppose the notion that all individuals have equal rights. The dominant history since the 1600s has been that of a mass struggle for the national-democratic state. This book argues that this struggle for national rights has been practically and logically contradictory with the struggle for universal rights. It would only be otherwise if there were free migration and access to citizenship on demand by anybody. This has never been the case. Rather than drawing only on European sources and being limited to major literary figures, this book is written from the Gramscian perspective that ideas mean little until they are taken up as mass ideologies. It draws on sources from Asia and America and on knowledge about mass attitudes, globally and throughout history.

Somerled, Lord of the Isles

Somerled, Lord of the Isles

Alastair Redman

PEN SWORD BOOKS LTD
2026
sidottu
Somerled: Lord of the Isles explores the life and legacy of one of the most remarkable figures in Scottish and Hebridean history. In the turbulent twelfth century, Somerled rose from obscurity to challenge Norse rule in the Hebrides and forge a kingdom that blended Gaelic and Norse traditions. As a warrior, statesman, and founder of a powerful dynasty, his influence stretched across the western seaboard and shaped the identity of the Highlands and Islands for centuries to come. This book charts Somerled’s journey from minor chieftain to sea king, examining the political, cultural, and military forces that enabled his rise. It follows the establishment of the Lordship of the Isles by his descendants, a unique maritime kingdom that endured long after his death. Richly detailed and drawing upon the latest archaeological and historical research, Somerled: Lord of the Isles brings to life a period often overlooked in mainstream history. It is a compelling account of resilience, ambition, and the forging of an identity rooted in land and sea, providing new insights into the man who would become a legend.

Fatal Flights of the Rich and Famous

Fatal Flights of the Rich and Famous

Alastair Goodrum

PEN SWORD BOOKS LTD
2026
sidottu
Everyone loves adventure, mystery and the notion of celebrity and this book combines all of these with new unpublished material, supported by high quality previously unpublished images. Aviation history is full of evocative stories about the evolution of aeroplanes; flying and the perils of air travel and there are many ways of looking at these. The theme of this book is to recall some of those perils through the eyes of twenty-three internationally-famous celebrity air travellers between 1919 and 2020. What brings them all together here is that, as well as presenting the personalities, the stories showcase aeroplanes from the golden age of biplanes to helicopters, biz-jets and airliners. They also illustrate the fallibility of people and technology, while giving a flavour of the social progress of air transport over the past 100 years. Sadly, the climax of these particular stories culminates in air crashes that took the lives of the celebrities involved. While the final selection of the stars might be open to debate, the breadth of celebrity representation in these stories is very wide, being drawn from the fields of aeronautics; cinema; exploration; fashion; music; politics and sport. Mysteries and myths have grown up around some of these incidents and while some of these can be debunked, others will pose unanswered questions. All, though, will demonstrate that Fame and Fortune alone are no protection from Fate.

Kierkegaard

Kierkegaard

Alastair Hannay

Bloomsbury Academic
2020
nidottu
In his perceptive and provocative new book, Alastair Hannay contests two prejudices that have dogged the appreciation of Soren Kierkegaard’s writings. These are that to grasp their contemporary impact, the religious focus must be referred to his personal background, and that their varied voices mirror a fragmentation in his own relationship to self and society. It was for paying lip-service to their own values that Kierkegaard castigated his society, his diagnosis being that this was one of many ways in which more pressing and disturbing questions of existence were typically evaded. It is in the renowned thinker's own struggle for selfhood that Hannay sees his prescient anticipation of the current focus on issues relating to integration, acceptance and identity. By cultivating a role as the social misfit within his innate exceptionality Kierkegaard deliberately exposed himself to the problems to which an age gripped by ‘identity politics’ is now responding. By cleverly examining the relation between his richly conceived polemics and Kierkegaard’s own preoccupation with identity, Hannay has written an essential new text for Kierkegaard scholars and students of Continental philosophy and existentialism.
