Jacobites

A New History of the '45 Rebellion

By: Jacqueline Riding

The dramatic story of Bonnie Prince Charlie and his quixotic attempt to regain the throne of England. The Jacobite Rebellion of 1745-46 is one of the most important turning points in British history--in terms of national crisis every bit the equal of 1066 and 1940. The tale of Charles Edward Stuart, "Bonnie Prince Charlie," and his heroic attempt to regain his grandfather's (James II) crown--remains the stuff of legend: the hunted fugitive, Flora MacDonald, and the dramatic escape over the sea to the Isle of Skye. But the full story--the real history--is even more dramatic, captivating, and revelatory. Much more than a single rebellion, the events of 1745 were part of an ongoing civil war that threatened to destabilize the British nation and its empire. The Bonnie Prince and his army alone, which included a large contingent of Scottish highlanders, could not have posed a great threat. But with the involvement of Britain's perennial enemy, Catholic France, it was a far more dangerous and potentially catastrophic situation for the British crown. With encouragement and support from Louis XV, Charles's triumphant Jacobite army advanced all the way to Derby, a mere 120 miles from London, before a series of missteps ultimately doomed the rebellion to crushing defeat and annihilation at Culloden in April 1746--the last battle ever fought on British soil. Jacqueline Riding conveys the full weight of these monumental years of English and Scottish history as the future course of Great Britain as a united nation was irreversibly altered.

Innocence Lost

The Last Man Hanged in Queensland

By: Jacqueline Craigie,Jack Sim

Murder Trails crime casebook detailing the background of a monster and his crime committed 100 years ago in the Samford Valley, north west of Brisbane, who would become the last person executed at notorious Boggo Road Gaol. Murder Trails author Jacqueline Craigie reveals for the first time previously unknown criminal history, photographs and images of the last man hanged in Queensland - Ernest Austin - who killed an 11 year old girl. Austin was executed on 22 September 1913. This year is the centennial of the last execution in this state. Austin came from Victoria, where he assaulted another child and was stopped from doing worse.He served time in both Melbourne Gaol, and Pentridge Prison at Coburg. Upon release he breached his parole and headed north. A century later, Australia is still wrestling with the release of violent sexual offenders; it seems few lessons have been learnt.

All Too Human

The Love Story of Jack and Jackie Kennedy

By: Edward Klein,John Fitzgerald Kennedy,Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

The animations of Japan’s Studio Ghibli are amongst the highest regarded in the movie industry. Their delightful films rank alongside the most popular non-English language films ever made, with each new eagerly-anticipated release a guaranteed box-office smash. Yet this highly profitable studio has remained fiercely independent, producing a stream of imaginative and individual animations. The studio’s founders, long-time animators Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki, have created timeless masterpieces. Although their films are distinctly Japanese their themes are universal—humanity, community, and a love for the environment. No other film studio, animation or otherwise, comes close to matching Ghibli for pure cinematic experience. All their major works are examined here, as well the early output of Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, exploring the cultural and thematic threads that bind these films together.
