A parliamentary by-election happens when a seat in the House of Commons becomes vacant between general elections, whether because the sitting MP dies, resigns, goes bankrupt, is convicted of a crime or is subject to a recall petition. By-elections can often appear to break the mould of British politics, signify the seemingly terminal decline of a particular political party or indicate the end of a premiership. Some take on iconic status or attract celebrity candidates and are remembered several decades after they take place. Others quickly disappear into the depths of our memories. As these pages will testify, however, theres rarely a dull contest.In this latest anthology, Iain Dale picks the most consequential by-elections of the modern era and presents a series of thoroughly researched and absorbing essays by some of our finest political writers, including Sir Vernon Bogdanor, Sir John Curtice, Simon Heffer, Julia Langdon, Lord Lexden, Andrew Marr, Tim Shipman and many others.This remarkable book uncovers unique stories of political tragedy, triumph, success and failure, set against the backdrop of some of the most dramatic moments in British parliamentary history.

When Jaguars XJ range arrived in 1968, it quickly established itself not only as a world-beater but also as the central model in the Jaguar range. Riding high throughout the 1970s, it was nevertheless losing some of its appeal by the time Ford bought the Jaguar company at the end of the next decade. These last three generations of the classic Jaguar XJ saloons closed an era in which Jaguar had symbolised the British approach to luxury motoring. That it no longer reflected what many buyers wanted by the end was a sad reflection of the changing times, but cannot take away from the excellence and desirability of the cars themselves. Today increasingly prized by enthusiast owners, these XJs in so many ways show the marque at its peak, and this book highlights why that is so.

"What indeed has Athens to do with Jerusalem? What concord is there between the Academy and the church?" Tertullian, 3rd century Such skepticism about the place of philosophy in the life of Christians persists down through the ages. As a student, author Steve Wilkens had deep reservations about studying the works of "pagans" or even "questionable Christians." Now a teacher at a Christian university, Wilkens has developed a deep appreciation for teaching and studying philosophy. In fact, he believes that the life of faith can be enriched by good philosophical reflection. In this book Wilkens helps you begin the same journey.Using generous quotations from the original sources, Wilkens provides an introduction to the study of philosophy by exploring a single key issue from each of the following philosophers: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, Descartes, Kierkegaard, Marx, Nietzsche and Sartre. The questions considered include Why ask why? Is a just society possible? Is God responsible for evil? Can you be certain of anything? Is morality all about power? Do you really want to be free? Wilkens encourages you not to be a mere spectator but to actively and critically engage the questions and ideas these philosophers raise. Here is a book for beginning students, thoughtful Christians or anyone who wants to explore lifes deepest questions.

En El irresistible esplendor de lo inútil, el poeta, narrador, ensayista, traductor, editor y videoasta José Manuel Recillas expone por primera vez en nuestra tradición literaria una extensa y sistematica reflexion en torno al elusivo y complejo asunto del genio, central en la tradicion filosofica de Occidente desde Platon hasta Croce y Lukacs. Toma como punto de partida el analisis de cuatro grandes figuras artisticas sobre las cuales el epiteto de genio es indiscutible y explora las implicaciones esteticas, eticas, artisticas, filosoficas, sociales, historicas, hermeneuticas, en un complejo discurso analitico que no evade las cuestiones mas polemicas, como la relacion del genio y los asesinos en serie, los simbolismos del genio en la cultura pop de nuestros dias y el valor historico de un concepto tan complejo y venerado en la tradicion intelectual y artistica de Occidente. El peso especifico y la influencia de la obra de Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven y Johannes Brahms son abordadas en este volumen como un ejemplo de lo que, para el autor de este libro y poeta y traductor, significa el Ser del genio, vinculado necesariamente con la obra que nos han legado los artistas elegidos para ejemplificar la argumentacion expuesta en estas paginas, las cuales, en su conjunto, se suman a las muchas ya escritas por el autor a su ya extensa produccion literaria y poetica en torno a la musica y su valor en nuestra sociedad actual, y confirman su indeclinable vocacion reflexiva vinculada a la tradicion intelectual de Occidente, asi como su caracter unico en nuestra propia tradicion artistica.
