Robert Owen and New Lanark

...accounts of Captain Cook's voyages (Owen, 1971, p. 3).

Exploring anxiety

...accounts of ‘anxious, miserable, melancholic people’ and that ‘every age presumes it is the most anxious age ever’, so there is some quotient of anxiety that is relatively fixed throughout the human population and is enduring (i.e. a percentage of the population will tend to be more ‘anxious’ than others). But there is an argument that certain eras (including...

The Empties Generation: Why did we hit peak booze in 2004

...accounts for some three-quarters of total UK beer sales. Indeed, the drink is firmly lodged in the British identity: it’s the pint of choice for banter-loving, football-watching blokes. And that helped the alcohol industry realise the extent to which it could reshape drinking traditions – something it has been doing ever since. [Beer bottles in a field] Around the...
