John Hampden was cousin to Oliver Cromwell and, had he not met an untimely death in 1643, from a wound received at the battle of Chalgrove Field in the first year of the Civil War, might well have achieved similar fame in English history both as a military commander and as the natural successor to John Pym. John Hampden was the first member of the House of Commons to achieve a truly national popularity. John Adair describes the character of this sturdily independent man. Hampden was known and admired for his easy and pleasant personality, his scholarly and practical interests and the care he took over the education of his own children and of those entrusted to him. Scholar, soldier and statesman, he was as adept on the battlefield as he was brilliant in parliament. John Adair vividly portrays the qualities of the man whom so many new simply as "The Patriot".

Humane Migration: Establishing Legitimacy and Rights for Displaced People

Movement is central to human history, yet today has become arguably the most explosive social issue of our time. Few human dynamics entail as many human rights and wrongs as migration. Seeing migration anthropologically, through time and throughout the world, reveals tremendous resilience and mutual benefits inherent in cumulative moves and mixes of individuals and peoples. Within the global spread of Homo-sapiens are more than unprecedented collective impacts; the synergies and lessons are also invaluable at a time when migration and belonging are increasingly threatened for many. This book reframes popular immigration discourse away from the violation of law to an emphasis on international migration as a human right, in the process, dismantling popular myths of immigrants as threats. It also explains the economic, political, social and environmental causes of migration on a planetary scale, given the global turmoil of our time. Lastly, it calls for policies that not only respect immigrant rights but recognize the many benefits brought by migrants to their new communities and adopted countries.
