Publisher's Synopsis
This volume covers from 1935 to 1993, over a wide range of topics. Often serious, with passion, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, Mitchison looks at issues of the day, and reflects, usually critically, on how society is being affected by current affairs, usually for the worse.
Articles rarely confine themselves to a narrow perspective.
The volume includes the entire text of the extended essay The Kingdom of Heaven, originally published separately in 1939, the editorial text of What the Human Race Is Up To, published in 1962, and the pamphlet Sittlichkeit (1975).
