Review # 1 was written on 2016-01-15 00:00:00 Stephen Dorril Gwyn Alf Williams was one of the last Gramcisan historians applying the intellectual insights of the Sardinian Marxist to interpret the emergence of 19th century Wales. polemic, witty and challenging, Williams steps beyond dogma and nostalgia to unravel the historical detail of events such as the Merthyr election of 1835. In an engaging but often dense telling of the story of industrialising South Wales, William shows how real people shape their history and how nations and classes emerge from our decisions about life. Maybe he stretches his points but a healthy antidote to the bland managerialism and complacency that underpins modern social thinking.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-10-26 00:00:00 Michelle Huele More than just patterns in Math and Poetry, but nature itself. Why wasn't it taught this way when I was in school? So edifying and absorbing, I want to go back to college and major in Math!
