There is nothing more soul destroying than rejection by those who gave birth to you and your people. Set in 19th Century India, two families, the Stirling's and Van der Wat's, descendants of mixed marriages, face discrimination and betrayal at the hands of the English East India Company who introduce reforms that reduce them to the status of second class citizens. But they continue to answer the 'call of the blood', fighting and dying for the Company in its conquest of the sub-continent. 1804: Against the backdrop of the struggle for domination of the sub-continent, the Stirling's attempt to circumvent the reforms, but it comes at a high cost with brother fighting against brother. While the Van der Wat's turn their backs on the Honorable Company. 1857: During the bloody first war of independence - the Sepoy Mutiny - the Stirling's and Van der Wat's struggle for recognition and self-determination comes at a high personal and professional cost. Through these turbulent times the two families share a common bond with the oppressed and the oppressor, but are shunned by both who continue to use them for their political ambitions.

Rock Magnetism

Fundamentals and Frontiers

By: David J. Dunlop,Özden Özdemir

This book is a comprehensive treatment of fine particle magnetism and the magnetic properties of rocks. Starting from atomic magnetism and magneotistic principles, the authors explain why domains and micromagnetic structures form in ferrmagnetic crystals and how these lead to magnetic memory in the form of thermal, chemical and other remanent magnetizations. This book will be of value to graduate students and researchers in geophysics and geology, particularly in palemagnetism and rock magnetism, as well as physicists and electrical engineers interested in fine-particle magnetism and magnetic recording.

The Political Thought of King Alfred the Great

By: David Pratt

This book is a comprehensive study of political thought at the court of King Alfred the Great (871–99). It explains the extraordinary burst of royal learned activity focused on inventive translations from Latin into Old English attributed to Alfred's own authorship. A full exploration of context establishes these texts as part of a single discourse which placed Alfred himself at the heart of all rightful power and authority. A major theme is the relevance of Frankish and other European experiences, as sources of expertise and shared concerns, and for important contrasts with Alfredian thought and behaviour. Part I assesses Alfred's rule against West Saxon structures, showing the centrality of the royal household in the operation of power. Part II offers an intimate analysis of the royal texts, developing far-reaching implications for Alfredian kingship, communication and court culture. Comparative in approach, the book places Alfred's reign at the forefront of wider European trends in aristocratic life.
