Snakes and Ladders - Professor Selina Todd - Bog - Vintage Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Snakes and Ladders - Professor Selina Todd - Bog - Vintage Publishing - Plusbog.dk

''Intensely readable... A stimulating and necessary redress'' David Kynaston, Spectator Politicians say social mobility is real... this book proves otherwise. From servants'' children who became clerks in Victorian Britain, to managers made redundant by the 2008 financial crash, travelling up or down the social ladder has been a fact of British life for more than a century. Drawing on hundreds of personal stories, Snakes and Ladders tells the hidden history of how people have really experienced that social mobility in both directions. It shows how a powerful elite on the top rungs have clung to their perch, as well as introducing us to the unsung heroes who created more room at the top. As we face political crisis after crisis, Snakes and Ladders argues that only by creating greater opportunities for everyone to thrive can we ensure the survival of our society. ''A fascinating, important book'' Mail on Sunday ''A trove of stories of human hope and disappointment'' New Statesman ''Fascinating... A rich and well-observed historical account'' Financial Times

Ladders to Heaven - Mike Shanahan - Bog - Unbound - Plusbog.dk

"Irresistible" - Literary Review Fig trees have affected humanity in profound but little-known ways: they are wish-fulfillers, rainforest royalty, more precious than gold. Ladders to Heaven tells their incredible story.They fed our pre-human ancestors, influenced diverse cultures and played a key role in the birth of civilisation. More recently, they helped restore life after Krakatoa''s catastrophic eruption and proved instrumental in Kenya''s struggle for independence.Figs now sustain more species of bird and mammal than any other fruit – in a time of falling trees and rising temperatures, they offer hope. Theirs is a story about humanity''s relationship with nature, as relevant to our past as it is to our future.

Ladies Can’t Climb Ladders - Jane Robinson - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Ladies Can’t Climb Ladders - Jane Robinson - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

It is a myth that either of the World Wars liberated women. The Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act of 1919 was one of the most significant pieces of legislation in modern Britain. It marked at once political watershed and a social revolution; the point at which women of 21 and over were recognised in law as being as competent as men. But were they? What actually happened when this bill was passed? This is the story of what happened next. Ladies Can''t Climb Ladders focuses on the lives of six women - six pioneers - forging paths in the fields of medicine, law, academia, architecture, engineering and the church. Robinson''s startling study into the public and private lives of these women sheds light not on the desires and ambitions of her subjects but how family and society responded to the working woman and what their legacy looks like today. This book is written in their honour. It is a book about live subjects: equal opportunity, the gender pay gap, and whether women can expect, or indeed deserve, to have it at all. ''An important and crackingly good read.'' - Telegraph
