It asks why greater rights led to greater inequality, and why advances in race and sex equality ran alongside social inequality. It shows how the equal opportunities revolution became the general model for workplace relations in the decades that followed, and how it did not challenge, but rather perfected the liberalisation of labour law. The right won the economic war, the left won the culture war - and this book explains how.

Greater economic and cultural openness in the West has not worked for all citizens. Among those who’ve benefitted least, a populist politics of culture and identity has risen to challenge the traditional politics of left and right, creating a new division: between the mobile ‘achieved’ identity of the people from Anywhere and the more marginalised, roots-based identity of the people from Somewhere. This value divide helps to account for the Brexit vote in Britain, the election of Donald Trump, the decline of the centre-left, and the rise of populism across Europe.

With his disturbingly horse-like face and a pious distaste for strong drink and bad language, young Canadian Bartholomew Bandy doesn’t seem cut out for life in the armed services, as we meet him at the start of World War I. Yet he not only survives the dangers and squalor of the infantry trenches, he positively thrives in the Royal Flying Corps, revealing a surprising aptitude for splitarsing Sopwith Camels and shooting down the Hun. Though it all he never loses his greatest ability - to open his mouth and put his foot in it. Gripping and shockingly funny.

Bandy has an exciting spell with the Allied forces in Russia, fighting Bolsheviks, capturing trains, meeting Trotsky, facing communist firing squads, and, most terrifying of all, being a love slave to the dimunitive Dasha Fillipovna.

Are we British different, special and capable of finding our own way in the world? Who are we, who call ourselves British? Is it too easy for Remain voters to blame Brexit on post-industrial decline in the Labour heartlands, scare-mongering and deluded Little Englanders?

The reasons are all historical, and nothing to do with climate or soil factors. This story goes back to the Norman conquest of England in 1066. They created Royal Forests, chases and deer parks, where only the nobility could hunt or keep deer and it was forbidden to cut the trees. This was, if you like, an early form of nature conservation, but for the sake of privileged hunting.

The Killing of Evelyn Foster. A hugely credible retelling of an unsolved crime - with a satisfactory ‘big reveal’. In January 1931, on a lonely stretch of Northumberland road known as Wolf’s Nick, flames rose up into the night sky from the neighbouring moorland. Beyond anyone’s help, Evelyn Foster, a young taxi driver, lay near her burning car - herself engulfed in flames - desperately hoping to be found by a passing vehicle. With her last breath she described her attacker: a mysterious man with a bowler hat who had asked her to drive him to the next village, then attacked her and left her to die.

Under the increasingly jealous gaze of the glamorous patronne, Madmoiselle Zizi, the children gravitate towards her mysterious and charming lover, Eliot, for comfort. And amongst the gnarled trees of the old orchards, 13 year-old Cecil watches from the sidelines as her achingly beautiful sister, Joss, is drawn into the heart of a toxic affair. A tense, evocative portrait of love and deceit in the Champagne country of the Marne, Rumer Godden’s ‘The Greengage Summer’ is a hauntingly beautiful coming-of-age story.

WORKS & DAYSHESIOD9780141197524 P PENGUIN BOOKS £6.99 Published 25/05/17A new verse translation of one of the foundational ancient Greek works by the award-winning poet Alicia Stallings. The ancient Greeks revered Hesiod, believing he had beaten Homer in a singing contest and that after his dead body was thrown into the sea, it was brought back by dolphins. His ‘Works and Days’ is one of the most important early works of Greek poetry. Ostensibly written by the poet to chide his lazy brother, it recounts the story of Pandora’s box and humanity’s decline since the Golden Age, and can be read as a celebration of rural life and a hymn to work.

A Narrow-Gauge Adventure. From stalwart little locomotives of topographic necessity, to the maverick engines of one man’s whimsy, Britain’s narrow-gauge steam trains run on tracks a world apart from its regimented mainlines. Far more than mere relics of the nation’s industrial past, or battered veterans of wartime Britain, these are also stories of epic feats of preservation, volunteerism, tourism, and local history. They are an exploration of idiosyncrasy, enthusiasm and eccentricity. Or, to put it another way, a tale of Britishness.

This book traces the history and development of the ubiquitous Austin FX4 London Taxi, built between 1958 and 1997. From the origins of the Hackney carriage, the author follows the evolution of the taxi through early 20th century designs by William Beardmore of Glasgow to the dominance of later vehicles commissioned from Austin by Mann and Overton in 1929. Later designs follow a distinct lineage and despite continual improvement of the design over the years, coupled with a succession of more refined and cleaner diesel engines, the black cab remains an enduring icon of Britain’s transport heritage.

In May 1967, Scotland became the third of the six BR regions to dispense with the steam locomotive. Residing over 300 miles away, Keith Widdowson’s pilgrimages north of the border were, by necessity, marathon undertakings.

The exciting early days of the railways were tempered with danger as the Victorian concept of health and safety was rather different to ours. Going into the dark was a frightening experience and tunnelling under the ground and under water a death-defying activity in 19th-century Britain. Certainly many workers and travellers paid the ultimate price. There were a wide variety of challenges to work through in order to make tunnels passable; and when the tunnels were completed accidents were frequent.

Allied decision-makers wanted to discover the secret to German success quickly, even though only partial, incomplete information was available to them. The false conclusions drawn became myths about the Blitzkrieg that have lingered for decades. It has been argued that German victories in the early part of the war rested less upon newly developed tanks and aircraft and more on German military traditions rather than creating a new way of war based on new technology, the Germans fitted the new weapons into their existing ideas on warfare.

When war broke out in 1914 the unit was desperate to get in on the action, and set off for Europe with nine planes and 125 men. With too few aircraft, the notion of using armoured cars for patrols caught Samson’s attention, and the unit set to work acquiring armoured vehicles.

The 70 years of F1 can be neatly divided into two eras at January 1980. At that point the terms Grand Prix and World Championship became synonymous. However, until then over half of F1 races were not included in the Championship for the spurious reason that each country should have just a single race. This does a disservice to the achievements of drivers of the Fangio, Moss, Clark and Stewart era and even more-so to the four pre-championship years which began in 1946. When a commentator says ‘Rosberg’s 16th win equals the F1 wins of Stirling Moss’, this is manifestly untrue.

His womanising appalled conservative French society, even as his five Tour de France wins enthralled it. But Paul Fournel always preferred him to his great rival, working-class hero Raymond Poulidor, and followed Anquetil’s career from childhood with the passion of a fan and the eye of a poet. In this stunningly original biography of a complex and divisive character, Fournel blends elements of memoir and imagined autobiography to tell the captivating story of this cycling legend.
