Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In the 1940s, nearly a quarter of a million East Londoners decamped annually for the hopfields of Kent. Most of the pickers were women, who would take their children and other dependent relatives to stay in the hoppers' huts on the farms. This book records the memories of some of them, in their own lively words. Funny, nostalgic and ironic by turns, they tell of hopping as 'a break from him', an escape from the chesty London smog, respite from the bombs of war, as well as a source of income - and the nearest thing to a holiday that adults or children were likely to get. It was a time of hard graft, of laughter and companionship and long evenings around the faggot fire. In the memories of those who were there, it was a time when the sun always shone . Gilda O'Neill was herself a hop picker as a girl. In this vivid book she not only pays tribute to the creative genius of the working class of London's East End, but examines the role of memory and oral history in our understanding of the past. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Why do we feel the compulsion to marry or live as a couple? This book explains why people get married, how society plays on our fears that without a partner an individual is, in some sense, incomplete, and how the result is a heavy toll of human misery. This book shows that modern marriage is the major source of unhappiness and bad health in modern industrialized societies and that modern marriage is often a matter of complementing neuroses and sick psyches inextricably intertwined, causing severe prolonged anxiety and depression, guilt, frustration, jealousy, identity crises and mental illness. The author of this book argues that coupledom is a way of devaluing, confining and controlling women. He also argues that marriage is an institution designed by men to disguise the fact that women, like men, are naturally polygamous. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

But this, one of the most valuable regions of national beauty left in the world, would soon become yet another victim of man's exploitation of his planet.
