Here Be Dragons takes us on one's man's quest to make healthcare more accessible and affordable for all. Web Golinkin began his healthcare leadership journey by starting the first 24-hour cable TV network dedicated to health, America's Health Network, which was eventually sold to Fox. He then helped to revolutionize healthcare with RediClinic, one of the first companies to put healthcare clinics inside drug, grocery, and big box stores, and was later sold to Rite Aid. More recently, Web was CEO of FastMed, one of the nation's largest and fastest-growing operators of urgent care clinics. But this is not a book about unbridled success. It is the true story of what happens when you are bold enough to try to transform a hidebound, multi-trillion-dollar industry. Retail clinics are now a permanent part of the healthcare landscape, but getting there did not come without a fight and required all the passion, endurance, and street-smarts that Web could muster at every step along the way.

Jane Webster develops a pioneering approach to 'rebuilding' British slaving vessels, creating a new archaeology of the Middle Passage. The book also examines multiple sources and accounts, questioning why the African Middle Passage experience remains elusive, even after decades of scholarship dedicated to uncovering it.

In 21st century Britain the rich are protected while the poor punished. Rich Crime, Poor Crime shows how contemporary British society is founded on a legacy of past plunder and dispossession by elites against the rest. Over centuries, power and property have been consolidated in the hands of a few and coded in legal systems that favoured the rich and created extreme inequality. Colin Webster puts a spotlight on Britain's hereditary and new ruling classes, whose inherited entanglements in land ownership, war and conquest, new world slavery, finance, trade, industry and empire allow them to accumulate and grow capital and wealth at the expense of others. He reveals a system facilitated by political corruption and wealth that accommodates serious wrongdoing - such as corporate, banking and accounting fraud, money laundering and tax evasion - and does substantial harm to fellow Britons. Examining the conditions of extreme inequality that give rise to poor crime and rich crime - and to the social response to both types of crime - we find them to be deeply implicated one with the other. Rich Crime, Poor Crime is vital reading for academics and professionals interested in the fields of history, sociology, criminology, and politics.

Imagining Home: Gender, Race and National Identity, 1945-1964 is a powerful examination of ideas and images of home in Britain during a period of national decline and loss of imperial power. Exploring the legacy of empire in imaginings of the nation during a period of decolonization after 1945, it is has become one of the outstanding books about the relationship between gender, race and national identity. Analyzing the role of colonialism and racism in shaping ideas of motherhood, employment and domesticity, it brilliantly traces the way in which Englishness became associated with domestic order and the very idea of home became white, exploring themes that reverberate strongly today as arguments around gender, race and feminism occupy the headlines. Drawing extensively on oral history and life-writing of politicians, journalists, churchmen, health professionals, novelists and film-makers, Wendy Webster examines the multiple meanings of home to women in narratives of belonging and unbelonging. Its focus on the complex interrelationships of white and black women's lives and identities offers a compelling new perspective on this period. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Preface by the author.
