In space, no one can hear you oink!Derrick, Samantha, and Michael should be in school. Instead they find themselves in NASA's space shuttle, which Nanny Piggins manages to accidentally launch, blasting them all into outer space. This time she has gone too far! In this thrilling fourth installment of her adventures, Nanny Piggins wrestles with a crocodile, bungee jumps off the roof using the elastic from Mr. Green's underpants, staples chicken wire over their chimney to keep out Santa, captures an apricot Danish-loving jewel thief, and rescues her brother, Boris, from an onslaught of professional wrestlers.

A vote for Piggins is a vote for cake! In this riveting eighth installment of Nanny Piggins’ adventures, she sets out to thwart Mr. Green’s political ambitions by running for mayor herself. Her mission—to proudly fight for Liberty, Equality, and Cake! Is democracy safe? Probably not. Will Nanny Piggins give everyone in the electorate diabetes from too much cake? Most likely. And along the way tremendous adventure abounds. Taking part in a diabolical fun run, being trapped in a sabotaged lift, faking seismic activity, safeguarding the local vacant lot, and beating the world pole vault record is just the beginning.

A crucial new guide to one of the most urgent political phenomena of our time: the rise of national populism Across the West, there is a rising tide of people who feel excluded, alienated from mainstream politics, and increasingly hostile towards minorities, immigrants, and neo-liberal economics. Many of these voters are turning to national populist movements, which have begun to change the face of Western liberal democracy, from the United States to France, Austria to the UK. This radical turn, we are told, is a last howl of rage from an aging electorate on the verge of extinction. Their leaders are fascistic and their politics anti-democratic; their existence a side-show to liberal democracy. But this version of events, as Roger Eatwell and Matthew Goodwin show, could not be further from the truth. Written by two of the foremost experts on fascism and the rise of national populism, this lucid and deeply-researched book is a vital guide to our transformed political landscape. Challenging conventional wisdoms, Eatwell and Goodwin make a compelling case for serious, respectful engagement with the supporters and ideas of national populism—not least because it is a tide that won't be stemmed anytime soon.
