Driven by the Monsoons

Barry Cunliffe tells the story of trade across the Indian Ocean using the evidence of archaeology and the tales of great travellers, showing how, across thousands of years, humans have been driven by need and the sheer desire to own exotic goods to create and maintain trade routes whatever the difficulties.

Petitions and Petitioning in Europe and North America

The first study of petitioning from the late medieval period to the era of e-petitions, Petitions and Petitioning in Europe and North America explains why these practices have been central to the exercise and contestation of power across North America and Europe.

Blue Jerusalem

The story of how the post-war Labour government under Clement Attlee re-fashioned Britain is a familiar one. This is the alternative story of how the Conservatives envisioned Britain's post-war future, revealing the bold, at times utopian, plans that British Conservatives drew up for Britain and the post-war world.
