But in 1548, as the Protestant Reformation reached its height, St Stephen's was given a new purpose as the House of Commons. Burned out in the great palace fire of 1834, the Commons chamber was then recreated on a remarkably similar medieval design, perpetuating a way of doing politics that is recognisable to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSt Stephen's has been part of many lives over the centuries, from the medieval masons who worked through the Black Death to complete the chapel, to the generations of MPs who locked horns in the Commons chamber. Threading together religion, politics, art, architecture and narrative history, John Cooper tells the story of the lost chapel, an iconic building that reflects the national transition from medieval divine-right monarchy to modern parliamentary democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":57685837152629,"sku":"9781801104524","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":43605433778354,"sku":"9781801104517","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781801104524.jpg?v=1792599043"},{"product_id":"9781292324630","title":"Applied Behavior Analysis, Global Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eAppropriate for all upper-level courses in basic principles, applications, and behavioural research methods. \u003cbr\u003e This text provides an accurate, comprehensive, and contemporary description of applied behavior analysis in order to help students acquire fundamental knowledge and skills. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eApplied Behavior Analysis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a comprehensive, in-depth discussion of the field, offering a complete description of the principles and procedures for changing and analysing socially important behaviour.

The book tells the story of one of the three or four most significant events of twentieth century Jewish history. Almost 1.5 million Jews left the Soviet Union mainly for Israel and the United States. According to Natan Sharansky, the international human rights campaign was the most successful such movement in history. It was one of the principal props of the Soviet dissidents campaigning, and an important factor that led to the humbling of the regime and the eventual disintegration of the Soviet Empire. It was also a rare example of the reversal of an attempt at Cultural Genocide, that the Soviet Union had intended to inflict on its Jewish citizens.   The book attempts to weave the exciting story of the British movement in its international context in a fluent and readable manner. It focusses on its various components - the women and students and the National Council for Soviet Jewry; and differentiating it from its American counterparts, and the Israeli government, which attempted to guide its over-all strategy. While it covers the changing attitude of the British government to human rights from Harold Wilson to Margaret Thatcher, it also details the trials and tribulations of a countless number of Jewish and other dissidents and their supporters overseas. They bravely defied not only Stalin and his successors but the secret police and enabled the mass migration of Soviet Jewry to happen.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308916584821,"sku":"9781914933462","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781914933462_29539604-10be-4dac-9b82-5dabb527a503.jpg?v=1786030982"},{"product_id":"queens-agent","title":"The Queen's Agent","description":"\u003cp\u003eElizabeth I came to the throne at a time of insecurity and unrest.

Using a vibrant selection of old picture postcards, many of which have been stored in dusty attics untouched for generations, coupled with superb modern-day colour photographs as a comparison, we witness the many changes that have occurred in these lovely picturesque areas over the past 100 years.Memories abound: Rickmansworth’s first railway, which opened in 1862, King Edward VII’s visit to Croxley Green in 1909 and countless images of the charming village of Chorleywood, captured on camera by a small but dedicated group of photographers. Without their enthusiasm and commitment in recording for posterity mostly everyday views and occurrences, much of these areas’ pictorial history would have been lost forever.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57484104728949,"sku":"9781445640501","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781445640501.jpg?v=1786266137"},{"product_id":"skillet-eden-2-aftermath","title":"Eden 2: Aftermath","description":"It’s been five years since the end of Eden, and that in that time Cottonville has rebuilt itself.

Under the family’s protection, Cottonville has become something of an idyllic paradise thanks to the town never suffering rowdy attacks. Nobody’s entirely sure why the rowdies stopped attacking, but many of the villagers think it might be due to all of the purple fauna that has been growing more and more in the town over the last five years. However a new threat is emerging... one that doesn't cherish life or the new idyllic world... and Cottonville must rise to the challenge. The second book in Skillet's Eden series that follows the themes of faith, hope and making the world a better place.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57679985246581,"sku":"9781940878430","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781940878430.jpg?v=1792422820"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-john-cooper.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
