In December 1936 at the height of the Abdication Crisis Cosmo Gordon Lang Archbishop of Canterbury held the fate of the British monarchy in his hands. Together with the Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin he helped to manoeuvre Edward VIII from the throne & to replace him with the kings brother the Duke of York who was to become George VI. It was a move which would have far-reaching consequences for the course of British history. The period 1928-1942 saw some of the greatest political & social upheavals in modern British history & Lang was at the centre of these. As Archbishop of Canterbury he led the Church of England through this tumultuous period & was a pivotal influence in political & religious decision-making. Although Lang has often been seen as a fairly unsuccessful archbishop who was resistant to change Robert Beaken shows that he was in fact an effective leader of the Church at a difficult time. He also proved to be a sensitive leader during wartime opposing any demonization of the enemy & showing compassion to conscientious objectors. Drawing on previously unseen material Beaken tells the story of a fascinating yet complicated man who was Britains first modern Archbishop of Canterbury. ...

The magnificent vault of stars emblazoning Earth's night skies are but an infinitesimal fraction of the hundreds of billions that inhabit our galaxy
- & there are at least as many galaxies in the universe as there are stars in the Milky Way. Cosmos makes sense of this dizzying celestial panorama by exploring it one step at a time illustrating the planets moons stars nebulae white dwarfs black holes & other exotica that populate the heavens with some of science's most spectacular photographs. The book opens with an orbital survey of planet Earth before venturing into the solar system heading for interstellar space & the heart of our galaxy. As the journey unfolds the rhythms of stellar life emerge: we pass through dark clouds of dust & gas ablaze with newly smelted stars & we witness dying stars bloom & fade as planetary nebulae or tear themselves apart as supernovae. Having crossed the Milky Way we enter intergalactic space. Out here we watch the hidden lives of galaxies: we see them flock & cluster forming massive conglomerations that span millions of light years visibly warping space with their tremendous gravity. After covering an almost unimaginable 13.4 billion light years we approach the edge of space & the dawn of time where our voyage must end but not before we consider how the universe was born & how it might die.

Leo Tolstoys War & Peace & Anna Karenina the greatest novels ever written did not emerge from a vacuum. They were preceded by at least twenty prose works of different kinds some of them masterpieces in their own right. These stories may be viewed as a fascinating encounter with literary predecessors such as Rousseau & Pushkin & they are never far removed from autobiography but in them Tolstoy can be seen forging a strong new cultural personality. Their virtues lie in local colour brilliant characterization & dialogue along with strong narrative interest linked to important ideas & meanings most of which will re-emerge in the later works. This undervalued area of a great mans writing deserves closer attention & will reward the reader with unforgettable individuals issues & situations. In The Cossacks for example Tolstoy succeeds in combining a realistic description of the Caucasus with his heros personal vision of the locality. Nor is this success the only one in this remarkable period. Reading these early stories gives a penetrating insight into the workshop of a towering literary genius. ...
