This title includes: 50th anniversary tributes from far and wide; Cross-Bay walks that have raised millions; how the walks began; changes - through global warming; fatal call of the running tide; drama and rescues on the Bay; crossing the sands on horseback - sheer magic!; and, filming with the famous. Few can be as aware as Cedric Robinson that time and tide wait for no man. His long and active life has centred round the fickle tides of Morecambe Bay, culminating in 2013 in the 50th anniversary of his appointment as Queen's Guide to the Sands. As the holder of this historic office for longer than any of his predecessors, he has now guided some 500,000 people across the Bay's shifting sands. In so doing, he has played a pivotal role in raising millions for worthy charities and has walked the equivalent of twice round the world. It is a phenomenal achievement. In this unique book Cedric looks back over the last half century, reflecting on both the beauty and the dangers of Morecambe Bay. He compares today's Cross-Bay walks with those of the 1960s when conditions and weather patterns were very different. As someone still actively fishing, he also covers changes in the fascinating world of cockles and flooks. Special features include Cedric's selection of favourite photographs that evocatively capture the Bay in all its moods, ranging from shifting sands to magnificent sunsets. Above all, there are many heartfelt tributes and recollections from those who have found the walk unforgettable. They convey the essence of an experience that Cedric has splendidly summarised as 'like crossing a wet Sahara'.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49543456719121,"sku":"GOR005102789","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51436721045777,"sku":"GOR010278768","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53450249240849,"sku":"GOR006571653","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0957295162.jpg?v=1750748423"},{"product_id":"life-around-morecambe-bay-book-cedric-robinson-9780852068656","title":"Life Around Morecambe Bay","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49559446421777,"sku":"GOR004792840","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49624276435217,"sku":"GOR003083706","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0852068654.jpg?v=1751139281"},{"product_id":"sandman-of-morecambe-bay-book-cedric-robinson-9780852069905","title":"Sandman of Morecambe Bay","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49583383019793,"sku":"GOR005577672","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49653459648785,"sku":"GOR005550001","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0852069901.jpg?v=1750786877"},{"product_id":"one-man-s-morecambe-bay-book-cedric-robinson-9780852068083","title":"One Man's Morecambe Bay","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49589599273233,"sku":"GOR003473859","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0852068085.jpg?v=1751396024"},{"product_id":"cedric-robinson-book-cedric-robinson-9780954400224","title":"Cedric Robinson","description":"People have walked across the sands of Morecambe bay for hundreds of years.

Records of the previous twenty-four guides stretch back to 1536 and the reign of Henry VIII, but none can surely equal Cedric's achievements. He has transformed what was becoming an archaic piece of history into a modern-day recreational institution. From modest beginnings, his cross-Bay walks have become internationally famous with some 400,000 people having now participated under his expert guidance. It is the walk and the Bay that take centre stage in this new book, which focuses on many recent developments. Several centre round the Kent estuary, now even more dangerous as a result of changing its course on an increasingly frequent basis. Others involve the apparent consequences of global warming, with dolphins and salmon becoming a regular sight in the Bay. Finally, Cedric looks at the issues behind cockling and the recent deaths of Chinese cockle pickers, which he describes as a disaster waiting to happen. This book is beautifully illustrated with photographs that depict both the walk and the vast expanse of Morecambe Bay in all its amazing variety.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49623586701585,"sku":"GOR003269178","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52718778646801,"sku":"GOR005636881","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53445140349201,"sku":"GOR014923525","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1905080336.jpg?v=1751187104"},{"product_id":"sandman-of-morecambe-bay-rare-book-cedric-robinson-1660923723lee","title":"Sandman of Morecambe Bay","description":"1989.

Marxist analyses tend to presuppose European models of history and experience that downplay the significance of Black people and Black communities as agents of change and resistance. Black radicalism, Robinson argues, must be linked to the traditions of Africa and the unique experiences of Blacks on Western continents, and any analyses of African American history need to acknowledge this.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTo illustrate his argument, Robinson traces the emergence of Marxist ideology in Europe, the resistance by Blacks in historically oppressive environments, and the influence of both of these traditions on such important twentieth-century Black radical thinkers as W. E. B. Du Bois, C. L. R. James, and Richard Wright. This revised and updated third edition includes a new preface by Tiffany Willoughby-Herard, and a new foreword by Robin D. G.
