Henry Henry
'One of the most exciting new novels' FINANCIAL TIMES'Very funny... Its deeply felt pages flew by' GUARDIAN'Sexy, compassionate, uncommonly imaginative: I've never read anything quite like it' Oisin McKenna, author of Evenings and WeekendsLondon, 2014. Hal Lancaster - twenty-two, gay, Catholic, chops lines of cocaine with his myWaitrose card - is the reluctant heir of his father Henry, the sixteenth Duke of Lancaster. Henry is half tyrant, half martyr, with an investment in his eldest son that has grown into an obsession. While Hal floats between internships and drinking sessions, Henry keeps him in check with passive-aggression, religious guilt, and a cruelty that Hal sometimes confuses for tenderness.When a grouse shooting accident - funny in retrospect - makes a romance out of Hal's rivalry with fumblingly leftist family friend Harry Percy, Hal finds that he wants, for the first time, a life of his own. But his father Henry is an Englishman: he will not let his son escape tradition. To save himself, Hal must reckon not only with grief and shame but with the wounds of his family's past.'Deeply enjoyable' Julia Armfield, author of Our Wives Under the Sea'Thrillingly imaginative' Kaliane Bradley, author of The Ministry of Time

Theory and Resistance in Education
Reissued with a new introduction from Henry A. Giroux, this classic work provides theoretical and political tools for addressing how pedagogy, knowledge, resistance, and power can be analyzed within and across a variety of cultural spheres, including but not limited to the schools. The time for radical social change has never been so urgent, since the fate of an entire generation of young people, if not democracy itself, is at stake. Giroux argues that challenge gives new meaning to the importance of resistance, the relevance of pedagogy, and the significance of political agency. In a time of growing fascism, Giroux argues that resistance is not an option but a necessity. The book includes a foreword by Paulo Freire and a preface by Stanley Aronowitz.

Henry Ford
Regarded by many automotive historians as the finest and most dispassionate character study of Henry Ford ever written, Henry Ford: An Interpretation has long been out of print and priced out of the reach of many collectors. Published at the height of Ford's success in 1923, the volume was written by the Reverend Samuel S. Marquis, an Episcopalian minister who was also the head of the sociology department at Ford Motor Company. Instead of a history of Ford Motor Company or a simple retelling of Ford's life story, Marquis claims that his collection of essays is intended to analyze the 'psychological puzzle such as the unusual mind and personality of Henry Ford presents.' In insightful chapters that can be read in any order, Marquis examines Ford's mastery of self-promotion, his invincible reputation, his religious views, and his 'elusive' personality. He also considers Ford through the lens of his corporation by commenting on its industrial operations, its charitable causes, and its
