When Adnams celebrated 650 years of brewing at Southwold in 1995 there had been an unbroken traditional way of life. Adnams country extends beyond the borders of Suffolk, but this book concentrates on this fine county and its history—from Southwold to Sudbury and Lowestoft to Lavenham. There are profound contrasts within Felixstowe’s huge container port and ferry terminal and its near neighbor Ipswich, the busy county town just a stone’s throw from the villages of the Gipping Valley. The wool towns of the Stour valley, such as Long Melford, are as handsome as they were hundreds of years ago and the coastline, some 60 miles of it, has some of the loneliest places in England, such as Shingle Street, and some of the most picturesque, like the Deben Estuary leading to Woodbridge and to Sutton Hoo—site of the famous burial now in the care of the National Trust.

Why the nineteenth-century railway builders should even have thought of a line linking Huddersfield with Sheffield, now known as the Penistone Line, with the risk of all sorts of disasters-collisions, runaway trains, collapsed tunnels and viaducts: the Penistone Line had them all. This book describes the why and how.

Anthony Lockwood’s story is at the heart of the Georgian Navy though the man himself has never taken centre stage in its history. His naval career – described by himself as ‘twenty five years’ incessant peregrination’ – followed a somewhat erratic course but almost exactly spanned the period of the French wars and the War of 1812. Lockwood was commended for bravery in action against the French; was present at the Spithead Mutiny; shipwrecked and imprisoned in France; appointed master attendant of the naval yard at Bridgetown, Barbados, during the year the slave trade was abolished; and served as an hydrographer before beginning his three-year marine survey of Nova Scotia and the Bay of Fundy. Against the odds he managed to finesse a treasury appointment as Surveyor General of New Brunswick and became the right hand man of the Governor, General Smyth. Deeply ingrained in his character, however, was a democratic determination that was out of step with the authoritarian character of the Navy and the aristocratic one of New Brunswick. His expectation of social justice verged on madness, and when he finally succumbed to lunacy it was in the defence of democracy. The turbulence of the times inspired Lockwood to stage a one-man coup d’etat which ended with him being jailed and shipped back to London to live out his days as a pensioner and mental patient. Truly a dramatic rise and a tragic fall.

Offering a new reading of Antonio Gramsci's political theory, 'Radical Politics' argues that hegemony is a process of differentiation in which political culture is always changing, and always with the goal of moving toward expanded freedom. Over the course of the book, Peter D. Thomas looks at the way in which various theorists have approached the dilemma of how to engage productively in radical politics and explains why hegemony is a distinctive method of doing politics rather than an end goal.

Nickel, chromium and cobalt or bone cement might potentially trigger contact allergies and thus in turn lead to implant incompatibility. For the first time a clinical algorithm has been developped for procedures in clinical practice for when an implant allergy is suspected. Algorithm comes as a separate laminated loose insert.

This book does not deem to be an instruction book about the history of the school and garden town Mödling. Through its pictures it wishes to show the beauty and convey what is special about this town and to encourage self-discovery during a leisurely stroll. The very brief retrospective of the history of the town at the foot of the Vienna Woods, only gives an idea of the changeful fates of the town and its inhabitants, which they always mastered due to their persistence, diligence and innovation under the leadership of active mayors.
