Out Of The Storm: The
Life And Legacy Of
Martin Luther
£18.00
Martin Luther changed Europe &, through Europe, the world. It was he who finally exposed the myth of a unified Latin Christendom, in fact only held together by crusades, heresy hunts, Inquisition, & priestly magic. Though not the first radical thinker to challenge papal pretensions & the doctrines they were founded on, by his defiance Luther created the biggest cause célèbre of the age. But this renegade monk did not just split Europe into rival Protestant & Catholic camps. By urging Christians to read & interpret the Bible for themselves, he gave a religious boost to that emancipation of the individual we associate with the Renaissance. By putting men & women in charge of their own destiny he made a cultural impact which is incalculable.


This first major biography in English for many years, by leading historian Derek Wilson, responds to recent Reformation scholarship to assess Luther

Out Of The Sun
£7.19
When Harry Barnett is anonymously informed that his son is languishing in hospital in a diabetic coma, he is certain there must be some mistake, since he does not have a son. But he soon discovers that he does. David Venning is a brilliant mathematician, whose illness is taken to be either a tragic accident or a suicide attempt. But, oddly enough, his notebooks are missing from the hotel room in which he was found. & Harry discovers that two other scientists employed, like David, by Globescope Inc., an American forecasting institute, have died in mysterious circumstances. Perhaps David is actually the victim of attempted murder. & perhaps the deaths of other Globescope staff are not the coincidences they seem.

Pursuing the truth in Engl&, Denmark & the United States, Harry finds himself entangled in several different kinds of conspiracy, none of which he should
- in theory
- be able to defeat. But as before in his life, Harry finds that circumstance & theory are not necessarily the same thing.

Out Of The Wilderness: Diaries 1963-67

1963 saw Labour's emergence from its 'wilderness years' in Opposition, and the election of Harold Wilson following the unexpected death of Hugh Gaitskell. In the first Wilson government of 1964 Benn was made Postmaster General and became known as an innovator for his introduction of the Giro and arguing for a radical broadcasting policy. After Labour's landslide victory of 1966 he was appointed to the Cabinet as Minister of Technology, but Labour's honeymoon came to an abrupt end in 1967 with the introduction of devaluation, leading to disilliusionment with the Government.

Tony Benn's account on his relations with the industrialists, television and press chiefs, the Palace and the diplomatic world as well as trade unionists, civil servants, and his Cabinet colleagues,
reveals the workings of our political and economic systems at the highest level.

Out of the Wilderness is a unique political record of the 1960s, told by a man who served in five Labour administrations and who today is one of the most experienced figures both in and out of the House of Commons.

'No-one interested in the political influence of the Crown, the intrigues of the civil service or the highly traditionalist character of Harold Wilson can afford to ignore it' The Observer
