Hardcastle's Quartet

By: Graham Ison

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Accident . . . or murder? Detective Inspector Hardcastle’s seemingly simple investigation turns more complicated, in his latest case June 1918. A patrolling constable discovers the body of Georgina Cheney, wife of a naval commander, in the basement area of a house in Westminster. At first it is thought to be suicide or even a tragic accident. But as Divisional Detective Inspector Ernest Hardcastle of the A or Whitehall Division of the Metropolitan Police begins to investigate – ably assisted by Detective Sergeant Charles Marriott – they soon discover a different story. It is clear that the woman was murdered, and revelations about the victim’s previous life in Malta arouse Hardcastle’s interest. But things are destined to get even more complicated for Hardcastle, when he is assigned two further murder cases by Detective Chief Inspector Frederick Wensley, head of the CID at New Scotland Yard. Could they be connected? This may be a puzzle too tricky even for Hardcastle to solve . . .

The Handbook of Psychology for Forensic Practitioners

By: David A. Crighton,Graham J. Towl

The Handbook of Psychology for Forensic Practioners discusses some of the ways in which psychological research and methods can be applied by a wide variety of professional groups working with offenders. The book concentrates on the assessment of risk in forensic settings and the interventions designed to reduce risk in violent and sexual offenders. In three sections it looks at:what we know about offenders; the assessment of risk; and the applicationn of psychological assessment and intervention approaches. By illustrating theoretical practice with case examples and also practical guidance The Handbook of Psychology for Forensic Practitioners develops a very practical focus throughout the text. Each chapter of the book is also designed so that it can be read in isolation and still provide useful guidance. It can be used as an aid to day to day professional practice for those working in forensic settings including probation officers, social workers, nurses, psychologists and psychiatrists.

Re-Writing Jesus: Christ in 20th-Century Fiction and Film

By: Graham Holderness

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Re-Writing Jesus: Christ in 20th-Century Fiction and Film

By: Graham Holderness

At the heart of Christian theology lies a paradox unintelligible to other religions and to secular humanism: that in the person of Jesus, God became man, and suffered on the cross to effect humanity's salvation. In his dual nature as mortal and divinity, and unlike the impassable God of other monotheisms, Christ thus became accessible to artistic representation. Hence the figure of Jesus has haunted and compelled the imagination of artists and writers for 2,000 years. This was never more so than in the 20th Century, in a supposedly secular age, when the Jesus of popular fiction and film became perhaps more familiar than the Christ of the New Testament. In Re-Writing Jesus: Christ in 20th Century Fiction and Film Graham Holderness explores how writers and film-makers have sought to recreate Christ in work as diverse as Anthony Burgess's Man of Nazareth and Jim Crace's Quarantine, to Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ and Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ. These works are set within a longer and broader history of 'Jesus novels' and 'Jesus films', a lineage traced back to Ernest Renan and George Moore, and explored both for their reflections of contemporary Christological debates, and their positive contributions to Christian theology. In its final chapter, the book draws on the insights of this tradition of Christological representation to creatively construct a new life of Christ, an original work of theological fiction that both subsumes the history of the form, and offers a startlingly new perspective on the biography of Christ.

Graham Greene: The Last Interview

and Other Conversations

By: Graham Greene

A master of twentieth century fiction, Graham Greene looks back on his life. This volume also includes several key interviews from throughout his long, fruitful career. Graham Greene led one of the most extraordinary lives of the twentieth century. The son of a Hertfordshire headmaster, he quickly discovered a love for writing, beginning a career that would last a lifetime. Greene's fascination with global politics took him around the world, to places that would become the settings for many of his most famous novels: Mexico (The Power and the Glory), Sierra Leone (The Heart of the Matter), and Haiti (The Comedians) - among dozens of other far-flung locations. He produced masterpieces throughout his life, many of which now stand as indisputably canonical: Brighton Rock, The End of the Affair, and The Quiet American to name but a few.

Pirate Killers

The Royal Navy and the African Pirates

By: Graham A. Thomas

One hundred and fifty years ago the Royal Navy fought a daring campaign against ruthless pirates and won, killing The King of the Pirates, Bartholomew Roberts off the coast of Africa and capturing his fleet. Scores of his men were executed by the Admiralty Court. On the Barbary Coast of North Africa pirates preyed on shipping in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic as they had done for centuries and they terrorized the populations of the coastal towns. To them, piracy was a way of life, and the great sea-powers of the day couldnt stop them. Then, in one of the most remarkable and neglected anti-piracy operations in maritime history, the Royal Navy confronted them, defeated them and made the seas safe for trade. This is the subject of Graham A. Thomass compelling new study of one of the most pernicious episodes in the history of African piracy. As he tells this compelling story, he uncovers the long tradition of piracy and privateering along the African shore. Vividly he describes attacks not only in the Mediterranean but also on the other side of the continent, along the shores of West Africa and around Madagascar. But perhaps the most telling sections of his narrative concern critical engagements that stand out from the story the daring rescue of the British merchant ship The Three Sisters by HMS Polyphemus in 1848 and the actions of the battleship HMS Prometheus against the Rif pirates a few years later. His account is based on documents held at the National Archives and other original sources. It gives a fascinating inside view into the way in which the Royal Navy responded to the menace of piracy in the nineteenth century.

Social Media

Communication, Sharing and Visibility

By: Graham Meikle

Social media platforms have captured the attention and imagination of many millions of people, enabling their users to develop and display their creativity, to empathize with others, and to find connection, communication and communion. But they are also surveillance systems through which those users become complicit in their own commercial exploitation. In this accessible book, Graham Meikle explores the tensions between these two aspects of social media. From Facebook and Twitter to Reddit and YouTube, Meikle examines social media as industries and as central sites for understanding the cultural politics of everyday life. Building on the new forms of communication and citizenship brought about by these platforms, he analyzes the meanings of sharing and privacy, internet memes, remix cultures and citizen journalism. Throughout, Social Media engages with questions of visibility, performance, platforms and users, and demonstrates how networked digital media are adopted and adapted in an environment built around the convergence of personal and public communication.

Nine Lives of William Shakespeare

By: Graham Holderness

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Nine Lives of William Shakespeare

By: Graham Holderness

Acclaimed as the greatest dramatist of all time, William Shakespeare needs little introduction. Or does he? Going beyond Shakespeare the writer and actor, Graham Holderness explores the fact and fiction, tradition and myth, surrounding Shakespeare's life. Combining biography and fictional narrative, Holderness takes a fresh critical approach to the problem of piecing together a definitive account of Shakespeare's life and work from scant historical information. Instead, this study builds upon and examines the many theories that surround the life of this well-known, yet remarkably unknown man. Nine Shakespeares are presented: writer, player, butcher boy, businessman, husband, friend, lover, Catholic and portrait. By carefully critiquing these biographies and reimagining these nine men, Nine Lives of William Shakespeare creates a unique picture of how this playwright became Shakespeare as he is understood today. Shakespeare Now! is a series of short books that engage imaginatively and often provocatively with the possibilities of Shakespeare's plays. It goes back to the source – the most living language imaginable – and recaptures the excitement, audacity and surprise of Shakespeare. It will return you to the plays with opened eyes.

Treasure and Intrigue

The Legacy of Captain Kidd

By: Graham Harris

Three hundred years ago, Captain Kidd was hanged for piracy, but before died he claimed to have hidden a vast fortune in the Indies. In the years since, maps to the fabled island have appeared and there have been many attempts to recover that treasure. This book examines Kidd’s life against the backdrop of piracy in the Indian Ocean and concludes that there is much to justify his claim, and even more to his story - a life of piracy thrust upon him by noble backers, men who broke their own laws and then let him die for their crimes.

Colonialism, Culture, Whales

The Cetacean Quartet

By: Graham Huggan

This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. Colonialism, Culture, Whales: The Cetacean Quartet explores how our attitudes to whales, whale hunting, and whale watching expose colonial attitudes to the natural world in modern Western culture. Foraging across the disciplines and moving between ideas and methods drawn from postcolonial criticism, animal studies, and environmental humanities, the book critically examines the colonial histories of whaling, their legacies in contemporary tourism from whale-watching excursions to the performing orcas at SeaWorld, and cultural representations of anxieties about extinction in recent literature, television, and film. Extensively researched and engagingly written, the four essays that comprise The Cetacean Quartet should appeal to scholars in a number of different fields as well as to general readers interested in finding out more about our enduring, guilt-ridden fascination with one of the world's most iconic living creatures, the whale.

The Uses of Reform: 'Godly Discipline' and Popular Behavior in Scotland and Beyond, 1560-1610

By: M.F. Graham

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Uses of Reform: 'Godly Discipline' and Popular Behavior in Scotland and Beyond, 1560-1610

By: M.F. Graham

The Uses of Reform is a study of the Reformation as a movement for behavioral reform, concentrating on Scotland during the first fifty years (1560-1610) of its Reformation as a primary example. The opening chapters trace the development of "Godly Discipline" as part of the European-wide reform movement. Graham follows this general narrative with a study of the creation and implementation of a disciplinary system in Scotland. Finally, he compares disciplinary practices in the Scottish Church with those of the Huguenot communities of France. Looking closely at the proceedings of church courts which enforced regulations concerning behavior, Graham paints a picture of the Reformation as a social process. This book, the first of its kind in the historiography of the Scottish Reformation, explores how Reformed protestantism affected local communities and redefined relationships.

Tales from Shakespeare

Creative Collisions

By: Graham Holderness

In this engaging new book, writer and critic Graham Holderness shows how a classic Shakespeare play can be the source for a modern story, providing a creative 'collision' between the Shakespeare text and contemporary concerns. Using an analogy from particle physics, Holderness tests his methodology through specific examples, structured in four parts: a recreation of performances of Hamlet and Richard II aboard the East India Company ship the Red Dragon in 1607; an imagined encounter between Shakespeare and Ben Jonson writing the King James Bible; the creation of a contemporary folk hero based on Coriolanus and drawing on films such as Skyfall and The Hurt Locker; and an account of the terrorist bombing at a performance of Twelfth Night in Qatar in 2005. These pieces of narrative and drama are interspersed with literary criticism, each using a feature of the original Shakespeare play or its performance to illuminate the extraordinary elasticity of Shakespeare. The 'tales' provoke questions about what we understand to be Shakespeare and not-Shakespeare, making the book of vital interest to students, scholars, and enthusiasts of Shakespeare, literary criticism and creative writing.

Bible Creation Truth

Genesis 1

By: Rev'd Dr Graham J Whelan OAM

Dr. Whelan's aim in this book is to encourage readers to look at the truth of the history of the Holy Scriptures and to affirm the belief in the verbal inspiration of Scripture and its inerrancy and infallibility. His work focuses on an overview of the truth of six literal days for creation. Natural God-given laws of physics and a cosmological model are examined. The question of evolution is also considered. He shows the earth as being young in accordance with the Biblical record. He also writes that the universe is also relatively young and that we should consider Biblical creation as our starting point. This effort to instiU what God created in six days, as compared to theories of evolution, will undoubtedly generate much discussion. In this work I analyse Bible Creation truth vs evolutionism - a young earth vs an old earth. When it comes to a subject such as this it is wonderful to have an eye-witness as a friend. The Lord Jesus is that eye-witness. As the Son of God - the Eternal Second Person of Elohim and YAHWEH - He walked with Adam in the Garden - but before that was with the Father and the Holy Spirit creating and speaking (Ge 1:3, 9, 11, 20, 26; 2:3, 18; 2:9, 22, 23). We know this truth as Jesus as the Eternal living word (Jn 1:1), told Moses all that Moses needed to know and write down as historical fact. This author has research over 60 works - scholarly books to discuss and confirm the truth of the Bible for this title: Bible Creation Truth - Genesis 1. Man is the apex of the Lord God's creation not the ape of evolutionism. God's creation of His fullness apart from man was different for He said "Let the land produce living creatures..." (Gen 1:24). However, when God made man, it was a personal relationship - "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule ......" (Gen 1:26). Man was made viceroy of God's creation, in charge of all God's work under God until man was disobedient. The aim of this work is to encourage believers to focus on the absolute truth of the history of the Bible - Holy Scripture (2 Tim 3:15-17). The focus is literal Biblical truth as opposed to a focus on metaphor, allegory or poetry. Some will suggest there is a place for these but this leads to liberal relativism. The question is - which worldview? In the theological subject "Apologetics" much has been written emphasising that Christians must be prepared to give a reason for heir hope in Jesus, but also to be well versed in the Historical fact of Scriptural truth. Thus this work is an encouragement for diligent study of literal Biblical truth. In this work, this author will not limit the theology of the existence of God. The Biblical fact is that God does exist and that He is sovereign. The sovereignty of God, (Elohim) (Ge 1;1-2:3), the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit - YAHWEH (LORD) (Ge 2:4ff) is Biblical fact and the truth of the Trinity and the authority of the Person of Jesus is not questioned. Separate chapters are devoted to these truths. Jesus is the eternal second Person of YAHWEH, who came into our history but who has always been present in God's eternity in the loving unity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (1 Peter 1:19,20) Jesus was to be Saviour as this Scripture teaches - Saviour before the world began. This work focuses on firstly an overview of the truth of 6 literal days of creation. The supernatural and miraculous works of God are never questioned. Natural God given laws of physics and a cosmological model are examined. The question of evolution is also examined. There then follows the truth Scripture gives on these questions. Several subjects are repeated and added to, depending on their relation to key subject areas. The Holy Spirit guides born again believers into all truth - keep rejoicing. Read less
