Roy Hattersley: David Lloyd George: The Great Outsider

David Lloyd George: The Great Outsider


Description

A Welshman among the English, a nonconformist among Anglicans and a self-made man in the patrician corridors of power, David Lloyd George, the last Liberal Prime Minister of Great Britain, was the founding father of the Welfare State and was as great a peacetime leader as Churchill was in war. In this fascinating biography of an authentic radical, Roy Hattersley charts the great reforms - the first old age pension, sick pay and unemployment benefit - of which Lloyd George was architect, and also sheds light on the complexities of a man who was both a tireless champion of the poor, and a restless philanderer who was addicted to living dangerously.

A "PEOPLE "PAGE-TURNER OF THE WEEK" In a London flat, two young boys face the unbearable sadness of their mother's sudden death. Their father, a Ted Hughes scholar and scruffy romantic, imagines a future of well-meaning visitors and emptiness. In this moment of despair they are visited by Crow - antagonist, trickster, healer, babysitter. This sentimental bird is drawn to the grieving family and threatens to stay until they no longer need him. This extraordinary debut, full of unexpected humour and emotional truth, marks the arrival of a thrilling and significant new talent. Raw foods are enjoying increasing popularity, particularly now many Hollywood stars are discovering how a diet based on fresh fruit and vegetables, nuts, seeds, sprouts and juices leaves you looking and feeling great. Recently Donna Karan, the fashion designer attracted media attention when she lost 2 stone on a raw food diet and Demi Moore went raw to train for her role in the last "Charlie's Angels" movie. Kate Wood has been on a high raw diet since September 1993 and currently her entire family eats a diet of over 90 per cent raw foods. She edited "Fresh", the magazine of the Fresh Network from 1997-2000. Her first book, "Eat Smart Eat Raw" was published Wireless Communications: Principles and Practice free ebook by Grub Street in 2002 and is now the best-selling raw food recipe book in the UK. "Eat Smart Eat Raw" has been published in the United States, Canada and Australia and has been translated into French. There has never been a better time to try going raw and in this her second book, "Raw Living", Kate provides more delicious easy recipes and guidelines demonstrating how raw foods have an extraordinary potential to transform by giving energy, strength and health.
