This is a book that every parent who is considering home education or flexi-schooling, or is simply keen to ensure that their child gets the best education possible, needs to read.

Who Goes Home? - Roy Hattersley - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Who Goes Home? - Roy Hattersley - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Each night when the House of Commons rises, throughout the Palace of Westminster policemen shout, ''Who goes home?'', a relic of the days when Members of Parliament were escorted safely to their beds. WHO GOES HOME? is Roy Hattersley''s witty and characteristically frank account of a lifetime in the Labour party from schoolboy canvassing in post-war Sheffield through Cabinet office and the wilderness years in Opposition, to the decision to leave Parliament at the dawn of Tony Blair''s New Labour. During this period, the Honourable Member for the Sparkbrook constituency of Birmingham never forgot his Yorkshire roots (or his passion for Sheffield Wednesday FC). This memoir is an evocation of the 50-year journey that has taken the Party from Attlee''s Welfare State and nationalisation programme to the modernizers of social-ism and New Labour under Tony Blair. For Roy Hattersley, politics was fun while it lasted, even though the joke was often on him. These Scenes from Political Life settle no scores, excuse no mistakes and relive no old triumphs.

Please Take Me Home - Christy Campbell - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

In Please Take Me Home , Clare Campbell takes us on a journey with the nation''s rescue cats, from being treated as pests throughout history to being the pet of choice today.For a long time, stray cats in Britain were seen as a nuisance and hunted down as vermin. Having invited this wild, independent creature into our homes, humans did not extend their welcome for long. Over time, thousands of cats were subsequently abandoned and left to live on the margins of survival.There were, however, the kind few who sought to help. But these good spirited people were often scorned, even derided as ''mad''. A Princess of Wales was even told to stop helping lost cats in order to avoid a royal scandal; the story was kept a secret of state for years. It would take over a century for strays to become the beloved rescue cats of today, with some now gaining celebrity status, such as Downing Street''s Larry or Street Cat Bob. Please Take Me Home is a fascinating and insightful history through the ages of the struggle for cats to exist in domesticity alongside mankind.

A SUNDAY TIMES POP BOOK OF THE YEAR A DAILY TELEGRAPH MUSIC BOOK OF THE YEAR A DAILY MAIL MUSIC BOOK OF THE YEAR A TIMES MUSIC BOOK OF THE YEAR (''Of the many Led Zeppelin biographies marking the band''s 50th anniversary, this is the most illuminating'') OBSERVER BEST BOOKS OF 2018 ''An enthralling and rigorously researched book'' Sunday Times ''Blake has talked to everyone, and the stories are both lurid and melancholy'' Mail on Sunday ''A juicy saga of excess all areas, Mark Blake''s biography of Led Zeppelin''s notoriously combative manager, Peter Grant, reads at times like an all-you-can-eat buffet of guilty pleasures . . . a riotous roller coaster'' The Times ''A tale as expansive and complex as the man himself'' Mojo ''To say Bring It On Home is a rambunctious page-turner is an understatement; but despite all the violence and weirdness, you can''t help liking the "real" Peter Grant who emerges here'' Planet Rock The late Peter Grant managed Led Zeppelin to global stardom. But his life story was every bit as extraordinary and dramatic as the musicians he looked after. For the first time ever, the Grant family have allowed an author access to previously unseen correspondence and photographs to help build the most complete and revealing story yet of a man who was a pioneer of rock music management, but also a son, a husband and a father.Published to coincide with Led Zeppelin''s 50th anniversary, Bring It On Home charts Peter Grant''s rise from wartime poverty through his time as a nightclub doorman, wrestler and bit-part actor to the birth of rock''n''roll in the 1950s. From here, it explores his pivotal role in the formation of Led Zeppelin and charts the impossible highs and lows of life on the road with rock''s most outrageous band. Bring It On Home includes almost 100 new interviews with family members, friends, musicians and rival managers, and walk-on parts for Sharon Osbourne, Bob Dylan, Stanley Kubrick, Freddie Mercury, Elizabeth Taylor, the FBI, the CIA, the Mafia - and Elvis Presley. As Grant''s son Warren says now: ''My dad knew everyone.''It is the first biography to reveal the truth behind Led Zeppelin''s demise, Grant''s subsequent fall from grace amid death threats and the shadow of organised crime, and his final days as a man who shunned the excesses of the music industry in favour of his friends and family.With access to several previously unpublished interviews - including Grant''s last and most revealing yet - Bring It On Home sheds new light on the story of rock''s greatest manager and one of the giants of modern music history.
