Free Download Helen D Millgate, Maureen Shaw, "War’s Forgotten Women: British Widows of the Second World War"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 0752461796 | EPUB | pages: 160 | 0.4 mb
The World War IIwidows were the "forgotten women," largely ignored by the government and the majority of the population. The men who died in the service of their country were rightly honored, but the widows and orphans they left behind were soon forgotten. During the war and afterwards in post-war austerity Britain their lives were particularly bleak. The meager pensions they were given were taxed at the highest rate and gave them barely enough to keep body and soul together, let alone look after their children. Through their diaries, letters, and personal interviews we are given an insight into postwar Britain that is a moving testament to the will to survive of a generation of women. The treatment of these war widows was shameful and continued right up to 1989. This is their story.

Free Download Charles J Esdaile, "British Battles of the Spanish Civil War: How Volunteers from Britain Fought against Franco"
English | ISBN: 1526782812 | 2023 | 248 pages | EPUB | 19 MB
The Spanish Civil War continues to attract attention as a brutal political and military struggle which foreshadowed the wider war across Europe that followed, and it has given rise to myths that have become commonplace since the war ended eighty years ago. Few of these myths are as potent as those associated with the International Brigades, the 45,000 volunteers from many countries who traveled to Spain to fight for the Second Republic. That is why this perceptive and original study by Charles Esdaile is so valuable. Using the recorded experience of the British Brigaders as well as primary research in the Spanish archives, he thoroughly re-examines the contribution they made to the war effort against the Nationalists of General Franco.

Free Download Rupert Read, Laura Cook, "Applying Wittgenstein (Continuum Studies in British Philosophy)"
English | 2008 | pages: 208 | ISBN: 0826494501 | EPUB | 0,3 mb
A key development in Wittgenstein Studies over recent years has been the advancement of a resolutely therapeutic reading of the Tractatus. Rupert Read offers the first extended application of this reading of Wittgenstein, encompassing Wittgenstein’s later work too, to examine the implications of Wittgenstein’s work as a whole upon the domains especially of literature, psychopathology, and time. Read begins by applying Wittgenstein’s remarks on meaning to language, examining the consequences our conception of philosophy has for the ways in which we talk about meaning. He goes on to engage with literary texts as Wittgensteinian, where ‘Wittgensteinian’ does not mean expressive of a Wittgenstein philosophy, but involves the literature in question remaining enigmatic, and doing philosophical work of its own. He considers Faulkner’s work as productive too of a broadly Wittgensteinian philosophy of psychopathology. Read then turns to philosophical accounts of time, finding a link between the division of time into discrete moments and solipsism of the present moment as depicted in philosophy on the one hand and psychopathological states on the other.
