This is the first book about the historian John Edward Lloyd (1861 - 1947), whose A History of Wales from the Earliest Times to the Edwardian Conquest (1911) marks a turning point in the writing of Welsh history.
John Rawls' text The Law of Peoples has inspired extensive scholarly debate in the field of international political theory, since its publication in 1999. Responding to the arguments of cosmopolitan theorists and Amartya Sen's recent critique, this new work presents a fresh appraisal of the debate, and argues that Rawls offers a persuasive and prescient moral perspective on issues of global poverty and development. By elaborating one of Rawls' core ideas, 'the duty of assistance', the book offers a unique theoretical response to the ideal of global justice. The duty is presented as a far-reaching principle of justice, one that advocates increasing the state capability of burdened societies, and aims to compel the most powerful states to reform international structures and provide aid, in a constructive and culturally sensitive manner. The aim of assistance is the strengthening of democratic, or 'decent' indigenous institutions and the promotion of the freedom of peoples. On Rawls, Development and Global Justice is an original contribution to current debates on international redistribution, democracy promotion and global poverty.
105 bands. 120 performances. Award winning festival Summer's End is now the longest running celebration of progressive music in the UK, and one of the longest in the World. Born in 2005 out of the simple desire to give his then-band Also Eden somewhere to play, founder Huw Lloyd Jones started the festival as a one day event at Gloucester Guildhall. The festival expanded to a two day affair in 2006, then three days in 2007, a format that it has retained ever since. Huw and co-promoter Stephen Lambe take us through the venues, line ups and various up and downs that have befallen the festival since the beginning. We learn how power issues almost scuppered a performance by guitar legend Steve Hackett; how "Summers End time" was created, and how the festival persuaded guitarist Gordon Giltrap to play in an electric band again after 30 years. Alongside the narrative are some stunning full -color pictures by official festival photographer Chris Walkden - as well as a few others - making this the ultimate celebration of the UK's best loved Prog Festival. The 2015 Festival will take place in the first weekend in October in Lydney, Gloucestershire.
