"A brilliant analysis... Made me want to take to the streets as well as the courts." Baroness Helena Kennedy QC, Chair of JUSTICE "Written with passion... Triumphant." Professor Bill Bowring, University of London "At a time when freedom is being trampled in Ukraine and Russia, Freedom's Banner tells an inspiring story." Marcus Ferrar, author of The Fight for Freedom: Triumphs and Defeats The first and definitive global history of non-violent demonstration. Starting in the 18th Century, Freedom's Banner provides a tour of some of humanity's most seminal moments, from the Peterloo Massacre to the suffragette movement to Ghandi's Salt March, Martin Luther King, Ukraine's 'Revolution of Dignity', the tragedy in Tiananmen Square, and the Hong Kong protests of 2016 and 2019. More than just a retelling of events, this book traces the thread of influence that each act of protest exerted over the ones to follow. Themes are highlighted and the hard-won legal victories explained. Passionate, provocative, and meticulously researched, this is a book that both inspires and informs. Paul Harris is a leading human rights barrister, who has defended high profile clients from London to Colombia, Nepal and East Timor. He represented Brian Haw, who for many years successfully maintained the right to camp on London's Parliament Square in protest at Western foreign policy and the Iraq war. More recently, he has represented the Chagos Islanders in their quest to return home. In 2021 he was elected Chair of the Hong Kong Bar Association.

Paul Harris’s ground-breaking and inspirational new approach encourages teachers to explore and transform how they teach. Paul identifies and reimagines the barriers or ‘conditions’ that can stand in the way of effective teaching, to allow for the most immersive and positive learning experience. Written in Paul’s accessible and engaging style, ideas are tackled from both a practical and psychological perspective, rooted in Paul’s renowned Simultaneous Learning methodology. For teachers of all disciplines and learners of all ages, this seminal book will begin your journey towards an unbounded, unconditional way of teaching. Unconditional Teaching is in my view one of those potentially transformative “best books about teaching”, and I would encourage every instrumental teacher to make a priority of reading it. A miniature masterpiece, a profoundly rewarding read: I quite simply cannot recommend Unconditional Teaching highly enough! Andrew Eales, pianodao.com review, January 2022 Whether you’re a new teacher, or an experienced one, this book is a must-read. Prepare to be both challenged and inspired; everything you take from it will enrich and enhance your teaching. This is the book I wish I’d read before I taught my very first lesson, but it’s of no less value now. David Barton, davidbartonmusic.co.uk, April 2022
