        In the shadow of Enoch Powell

        Race, locality and resistance

        by Shirin Hirsch, John Solomos

        Fifty years ago Enoch Powell made national headlines with his 'Rivers of Blood' speech, warning of an immigrant invasion in the once respectable streets of Wolverhampton. This local fixation brought the Black Country town into the national spotlight, yet Powell's unstable relationship with Wolverhampton has since been overlooked. Drawing from interviews and archival material, this book offers a rich local history through which to investigate the speech, bringing to life the racialised dynamics of space during a critical moment in British history. What was going on beneath the surface in Wolverhampton and how did Powell's constituents respond to this dramatic moment? The research traces the ways in which Powell's words reinvented the town and uncovers highly contested local responses. While Powell left Wolverhampton in 1974, the book returns to the city to explore the collective memories of the speech which continue to reverberate. In a contemporary period of new crisis and national divisions, revisiting the shadow of Powell allows us to reflect on racism and resistance from 1968 to today.

        Optical Astronomy and the Hubble Telescope

        by Joseph A. Angelo, Jr.

        This eBook describes the rise of telescopic astronomy in Western Europe, the early 17th century, and the emergence of the Scientific Revolution. Readers will explore the work of American astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble who showed that the universe was not static, but rather expanding. As demonstrated by the special collection of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope images presented in Optical Astronomy, Hubble’s over 1.4 million images have transformed how scientists observe the universe and some of its most mysterious phenomena. This eBook is a must-read for any student interested in how astronomers use telescopes to study planets, stars, galaxies, and the structure of the universe.

        Hunter Peak

        by Chen Yingsong

        Through five years of meticulous preparation and hard work in the mountains, the author has gained more than 200,000 words of hard work. In the mountainous area of Shennongjia, Hubei, people believe that people are livestock for two hours a day. In today's world, humans and beasts are upside down, and humans and beasts are mixed, which is exactly what the people of Shennongjia say. In the novel "Hunter Peak", several generations of hunters with Bai Xiu at the core are fighting against the mountain, against the creatures in the mountain, against the people outside the mountain, and in this cruel fight or ups and downs in the changing times. Either twisted, surviving, or dying, they are no longer the objects of praise and worship in the traditional concept, but are also full of contradictions and loss, distortions and sacrifices. The work narrates a battle between humans and beasts encountered with wild boars, a modern legend of deep mountains and old forests, the great poetry of hunting, and the great mystery of survival. All are described and displayed incisively and vividly here.

        Defectors and the Liberal Party 1910–2010

        A study of inter-party relationships

        by Alun Wyburn-Powell

        This book is the first analysis of political defections over a long time span. It investigates all the Liberal/Liberal Democrat MPs and former MPs who defected from the party between the elections of December 1910 and May 2010 - around one sixth of all those elected - as well as the smaller number of inward defectors. Each of the 122 defections was an expert judgment on the state of the party at a specific date. The research investigates the timing and reasons for all the defections and reveals long-term trends and underlying causes and apportions responsibility between leaders for them. The author finds some significant differences which distinguished defectors from loyalists and draws wider conclusions about the underlying factors which lead MPs to defect. This book will be of interest to students and lecturers of British politics and anyone interested in the relationship between British political parties in the last century. ;
