This work takes us into the Darwin family's private world to tell the story of Charles and Emma Darwin's and their first daughter Annie, who died at the age of ten. When Annie was a baby, Darwin doted on her, but also watched her with his researches in mind, and thought about man's animal origins. As Annie grew into a lively child, Darwin worked secretly on his theory of evolution, but his ideas were just one part of the family's life amid the wealth and poverty of Victorian England. Randal Keynes, Darwin's great-great-grandson and the current guardian of Annie's box, conjures up a world in which great thinkers - including Carlyle, Babbage and George Eliot - were struggling with ideas that were to shake mankind to its core.

This book is a detailed and original look at the radical reorganisation of French heavy industry in the turbulent period between the establishment of the Vichy regime in 1940 and the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), the forerunner to the European Union, in 1952. By studying institutions ranging from Vichy’s Organisation Committees to Jean Monnet’s Commissariat Général du Plan (CGP), Luc-André Brunet challenges existing narratives and reveals significant continuities from Vichy to post-war initiatives such as the Monnet Plan and the ECSC. Based on extensive multi-archival research, this book sheds important new light on economic collaboration and resistance in Vichy, the post-war revival of the French economy, and the origins of European integration.

What does 'ageing' mean and when do you consider yourself to be 'old'? In reality, very few people plan for their retirement and actually decide what they will do once they have retired. This book sees ageing and the process of transitional retirement in a positive way and looks at the importance of planning ahead. You may aspire to become a retirement coach or maybe you are facing retirement yourself and wish to more fully understand the dynamics of this important life event. Although financial preparation and planning are important, this provides a practical guide and reference resource to ensure psychological, emotional and practical support too. It offers valuable pause points using real life examples, where the reader is invited to reflect and learn.
