Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 1998Neville Chamberlain, appeasement and the British road to war
by Frank McDonough, Mark Greengrass
Re-examines the controversial policy of appeasement. The text suggests that the mood of the age in British society served to support appeasement, by analyzing the cluster of military, strategic, imperial and economic forces which served to justify it. The book argues that, when Neville Chamberlain came to power, appeasement was part of a broad consensus in British society to avoid a second world war. It provides an interpretation of Chamberlain's conduct by showing how he used and abused the mood of the age to justify a selfish and ambitious policy which was idealogically prejudiced. Yet, when Hitler entered Prague in March 1939, the public mood changed, and Chamberlain found himself a prisoner of a new mood which forced him to make a tactical and half-hearted attempt to stand up to Hitler for which he had no enthusiasm. ;

FictionHelena
by Paulina Vieitez
A trip that marked her life – an encounter that changed her forever. In the prime of her life, Helena Artigas is trying to fulfill her greatest dream: getting a Ph.D. For that, she must travel to Madrid, Spain, to take courses at Universidad Complutense. Despite great family resistance, she is determined to do it. During her trip, her most precious objects will fall into the hands of a stranger. Little does she know that this inconvenience will set off a journey that takes her not only across the Atlantic, but into her most intimate being and her deepest wishes. Maybe the past she is carrying on her shoulders will rise to meet her, or maybe the future brings a more promising horizon – just as long as there is enough time. Of Helena, Ildefonso Falcones, the author of the best selling novel La catedral del mar, has said: “Helena is a story told with a capital H, which in Spanish is a ‘mute’ letter, just like countless women are muted by their pains and the guilt they unjustly carry. This is a novel that is both sweet and hard, where illusion fights with reality, taking us to an unexpected ending.”

The narration is done in a very simple way without complicating the information, presented with many graphs and mathematical expressions. This book would also benefit veterinary professionals and extension officers who are involved in promoting livestock entrepreneurship activities.

Politics & governmentApril 2021Against the Self-Righteous
How we can do better for solidarity and the common good
by Sahra Wagenknecht
Solidarity, not selfishness Urban, cosmopolitan, individualistic—for many people today, to be on the left has become a question of lifestyle. What is missing are political concepts for social solidarity that benefit low-earning women, poor migrant children, exploited temporary workers, and large sections of the middle class. In both Europe and the United States, an obsession with pronouns rather than equal opportunities and a dismissive attitude to culture and a sense of community risks alienating the left from large sections of the population while playing into the hands of the far right. In her new book, Sahra Wagenknecht outlines an alternative to a kind of left-liberalism that considers itself progressive, but in reality only deepens social divisions by being interested only in elite concerns and not taking social background seriously as a source of inequality. Here is a program to build a majority on the political left—for solidarity, not selfishness. • A new book by the bestselling author • Develops Sahra Wagenknecht’s idea of a “left conservatism”
