A new verse translation of one of the foundational ancient Greek works by the award-winning poet Alicia Stallings. Hesiod was the first self-styled `poet` in western literature, revered by the ancient Greeks. Ostensibly written to chide & educate his lazy brother, Works & Days tells the story of Pandora`s jar & humanity`s place in a fallen world. Blending the cosmic & the earthy, & mixing myth, lyrical description, personal asides, astronomy, proverbs & down-to-earth advice on rural tasks & rituals, it is also a hymn to honest toil as man`s salvation. This vibrant new verse translation by award-winning poet A. E. Stallings conveys the clarity & unexpected humour of a founding work of classical literature. ...

The astonishing story of the project that launched Mass Observation In the late 1930s the Lancashire town of Bolton witnessed a ground-breaking social experiment. Over three years, a team of ninety observers recorded, in painstaking detail, the everyday lives of ordinary working people at work & play
- in the pub, dance hall, factory & on holiday. Their aim was to create an `anthropology of ourselves`. The first of its kind, it later grew into the Mass Observation movement that proved so crucial to our understanding of public opinion in future generations. The project attracted a cast of larger-than-life characters, not least its founders, the charismatic & unconventional anthropologist Tom Harrisson & the surrealist intellectuals Charles Madge & Humphrey Jennings. They were joined by a disparate band of men & women
- students, artists, writers & photographers, unemployed workers & local volunteers
- who worked tirelessly to turn the idle pleasure of people-watching into a science. Drawing on their vivid reports, photographs & first-hand sources, David Hall relates the extraordinary story of this eccentric, short-lived, but hugely influential project. Along the way, he creates a richly detailed, fascinating portrait of a lost chapter of British social history, & of the life of an industrial northern town before the world changed for ever.
