Until now most studies of the Welsh coal boom of the late 1800s and early 1900s have concentrated on the workers and the unions. Instead, in The Entrepreneurial Society of the Rhondda Valleys, 1840–1920, Richard Griffiths focuses his attention on the middle class and reveals how several of these individuals were—by hard work, perseverance, and often creative business practices—able to build up considerable wealth and power.

The second volume examines the branches to Rhondda Fawr, Rhondda Fach, Roath and Aberdare, as well as looking at TVR locos, railmotors and rolling-stock. TVR trains ran over 124 miles of line, but the company had 271 locos, giving some idea of the intensity of the traffic.

South Australia was meant to be the perfect colony: free settlers, no crime, and no mental illness. But good intentions go awry. Within three years plans for a permanent gaol were well established, along with a governor to oversee it: William Baker Ashton. Researcher Rhondda Harris came upon Ashton's long-lost journal by happy accident, and was soon absorbed by 'The Governor's' handwritten pages. They told a hidden story of early Adelaide and its underbelly, of crashes and crises and crims. 'Ashton’s Hotel', the colonists called their prison. His kindness of spirit, under nigh-impossible circumstances, shines through in this first published edition of his journal, expertly contextualised and introduced by Rhondda Harris.

The Labour MP for Rhondda presents a lucid account of how Parliament evolved between 1801 and the end of the Thatcher era. He describes changes that included the exclusion of the landed aristocracy from the Commons, diminishing power of the Crown, the strengthening of Parliament's control of government, and votes for working men and women; he also reveals the character of parliamentary change and how 'a dedication to constitutional evolution rather than revolution has led to piecemeal reform and a fudged constitution'.
