The Killing Season
An in-depth, authoritative account of the autumn of 1914 on the Western Front and the First Battle of Ypres, a true turning point in modern warfare.The final months of 1914 were the bloodiest interval in a famously bloody war, a killing season. They ended with the First Battle of Ypres, a struggle in West Flanders, Belgium, the importance of which has been too long over-looked – until now.Robert Cowley’s account of this crucial period describes how German armies in France were poised to sweep north to capture the Channel ports and knock England out of the war – and were only held back by a brilliant improvisation from a cobbled-together handful of desperate British, French and Belgium troops.In a re-examination of events that have too long seemed set in stone, Cowley combines a wide array of source materials with sharp portrayals both of military leaders and the men they lead. We follow Albert of Belgium, the world’s last warrior king; French General Ferdinand Foch, a former professor of military science; and Hendrik Geeraert, an alcoholic barge keeper, who pulled off Albert’s literal last-ditch effort. Many other memorable characters emerge, including Sir John French along with both a young Adolf Hitler and Winston Churchill.The vast brawl of four armies in Flanders was a turning point that irrevocably changed the nature of modern warfare. In this visceral account, based on 30 years of research and picking up where Barbara Tuchman’s The Guns of August left off, Cowley details the crucial decisions that determined the outcome of the Great War – which may have been decided by a single, extraordinary afternoon.

This Element reevaluates geographical writings on Rus death and sacrificial rituals, redirecting focus towards the textual transmission of ideas in both Arabic and Persian to offer a critical guide to geographical knowledge dissemination on Rus funerary practices.

Forgotten London
No city shaped the modern world quite like London – a powerhouse of trade, finance and empire, the centre of global influence in the nineteenth century. But beyond the familiar stories of power and politics, its true life played out in the streets, where market traders, music hall crowds and factory workers gave it its vitality, its light and its shadows. Forgotten London uncovers its stories, bringing to life the highs and lows of those who made the city what it was. Covering the transformative years from the Victorian era to the Second World War, this richly illustrated book – featuring photographs, colourised images and period artwork – immerses readers in a side of London often overlooked.

Politics and the New Challenge of Migration
This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the social psychology of conflict rooted in human evolution, with a particular focus on migration and its challenges in a globalized world. It examines theories for how conflict emerges between cultural, social, and political groups striving to advance their own interests and agendas and considers their impact on democratic systems that guarantee human rights and freedoms. Building on the study of social psychological tendencies and motivations, including human needs for identity and affiliation, new empirical procedures are introduced for bridging cultural, social, and political divides that encourage students, scholars, and policymakers to consider reconciliatory strategies for conflict resolution. By examining political leanings and tendencies for activism and democratic engagement, this book articulates the ethical and political moral grounds guiding decision-making in intergroup and intercultural relations and challenges readers to reflect on their moral standpoints.
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
James Briggs had never known what David Bowie''s Life on Mars? meant. And twenty-five years later with a career stealing his soul, a relationship in stasis and a hairline in furious retreat, life on earth had him cornered. So when a lightning bolt of inspiration strikes, he leaves everything behind to cycle one of the song''s lyrics, ''From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads'' to discover what life, love and Life on Mars? really mean. What followed was life-affirming, inspirational and often hilarious. Criss-crossing Europe, he visited French chateaus where Bowie recorded, Spanish Olympic stadiums he played, former communist states where his music was banned, and the Berlin Wall he helped topple - all while navigating angry Soviet ballerinas, suspicious village mayors, and an irate Cliff Richard fan. James found kindred spirits and a new love (and occasionally hatred) for cycling as he discovered what happens when, instead of following the crowd, you follow the lyrics and music of the greatest artist of the 20th century. As the world reconsiders its priorities, From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads is a clarion call to embrace the strange, blaze your own path, and live as fearlessly as the Starman himself.
Jungle Commandos
Drawing on unpublished first-hand accounts, this is a gripping history of the experiences of the Commandos and their unsung allies in one of the bloodiest battles of the Burma Campaign.Following the battles of Kohima and Imphal in mid-1944, the tide was turning against the Imperial Japanese Army. By the end of that fateful year, the Allies were preparing to launch an offensive in the Arakan region of Burma, to deliver a knockout blow to the increasingly desperate Japanese 28th Army. This fascinating new history details the actions of 3 Commando Brigade, who would spearhead this attack in a series of daring amphibious landings into the depths of the Burmese jungle, culminating in the brutal fight for Hill 170.They would be the only Commando Brigade to serve in the Far East, yet their story has never before been told in detail. With access to previously unseen primary sources, this book is the story of the men who volunteered for a fight against a fearless enemy, 5000 miles away from home in one of the most unforgiving environments in the world. Thrown into combat with limited jungle training and scant resources, it would be a baptism of fire, but the Commandos, alongside the brave men of the Indian and West African Divisions of XV Corps, would inflict a terrible defeat on an enemy once thought to be unbeatable.Written by a granddaughter of a Commando veteran who fought at Arakan, this new book shines a light on a largely forgotten yet crucial battle of World War II.
Trestné právo procesné I. Všeobecná časť, 3. vydanie
Trestné právo procesné patrí medzi jedno z najviac dynamicky sa rozvíjajúcich právnych odvetví a zatiaľ čo v minulosti bolo výsadou vnútroštátnej trestnej politiky, v súčasnosti je zásadným spôsobom ovplyvňované aj právom Európskej únie či inými medzinárodnými záväzkami. Tretie, doplnené a prepracované vydanie učebníc nadväzuje na prvé a druhé vydania, ktoré vyšli v rokoch 2017 a 2021. Za ostatné obdobie došlo k viacerým novelizáciám Trestného zákona a Trestného poriadku. Zmeny a doplnenia, ktoré novely priniesli, sa významným spôsobom dotkli mnohých trestnoprávnych ustanovení. Okrem priamych novelizácií Trestného poriadku, zmeny trestnoprocesných noriem boli vykonané aj ďalšími zákonmi napríklad zákonom č. 432/2021 Z. z. o disciplinárnom poriadku Najvyššieho správneho súdu Slovenskej republiky (disciplinárny súdny poriadok), zákonom č. 398/2022 Z. z., ktorým sa mení zákon č. 150/2022 Z. z. o zmene a doplnení niektorých zákonov v súvislosti s novými sídlami a obvodmi súdov, zákonom č. 192/2023 Z. z. o registri trestov, zákonom č. 353/2024 Z. z. o zmene a doplnení niektorých zákonov v súvislosti so zvýšením ochrany finančných záujmov Európskej únie, či zákonom č. 248/2024 Z. z. o niektorých povinnostiach a oprávneniach v oblasti kryptoaktív. Štruktúra učebníc nadväzuje na dosiaľ vydané československé, české a slovenské učebnice trestného práva procesného s niektorými inováciami, ktoré majú pomôcť zvládnuť štúdium tejto náročnej problematiky. Okrem podrobnej analýzy a výkladu jednotlivých ustanovení je text učebníc vhodne doplnený aj relevantnou judikatúrou všeobecných súdov, ústavného súdu a Európskeho súdu pre ľudské práva. V prvom zväzku Trestné právo procesné I. s podtitulom všeobecná časť, autori pojednávajú o všeobecných otázkach trestného práva procesného, základných zásadách trestného konania, ochrane základných ľudských práv a slobôd, subjektoch trestného konania, procesných úkonoch, inštitútoch na zaistenie osôb, vecí a zabezpečovanie informácií v trestnom konaní, o dokazovaní a rozhodnutiach. Učebnice sú určené predovšetkým študentom vysokoškolského štúdia práva, ale môžu ich veľmi dobre využiť aj všetci právnici aplikujúci trestné právo procesné v najrôznejších funkciách a pozíciách. Text vychádza zo stavu právnej úpravy účinnej k 1. júla 2025.

Blind-Spot Politics
A leading Central European journalist investigates how political and intellectual elites in Europe’s democracies underestimate and enable the continent’s authoritarians—from the Cold War onwards. ‘Putin has obviously deceived everyone.’ These were the words of Manuela Schwesig, First Minister of the German state Mecklenburg- Western Pomerania, after the 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. She was trying to explain why her federal government had been so closely implicated in Russia’s controversial completion of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. Why have other German, Austrian and European politicians and commentators so often got it so very wrong in their assessments of Moscow policy? Why has the EU been so slow to recognise the danger posed to its liberal values by nationalist autocrats such as Viktor Orbán of Hungary? And why have lessons from past blunders in Western policy—particularly in the Balkans—and the example of German Ostpolitik gone ignored, until it was too late? Paul Lendvai, a veteran reporter on the continent’s centre and east, exposes the role of double standards embraced, blind eyes turned and human and political weakness overlooked in policies of appeasement towards Europe’s authoritarian regimes, past and present. Combining analysis of new developments with decades of personal experience as a correspondent, he provides fascinating political profiles in deceit, sketching both the victims and the perpetrators of political fraud in Central and Eastern Europe.
The Romans
''At last, a history of the Roman state as it has always been crying out to be told, and never has been!'' RODERICK BEATONThe greatest empire in Western history - told as never been told before.Rome is often remembered for its spectacular collapse. But for over two thousand years - through civil wars, plagues, invasions, and religious upheaval - the Roman state survived, adapted, and reinvented itself. From a muddy settlement on the banks of the Tiber to the glittering court of Constantinople, this is the untold story of a civilisation that endured.In The Romans, acclaimed historian Edward J. Watts tells the first truly complete history of Rome in all its epic sweep: the Punic Wars, the fall of the republic, the coming of Christianity, Alaric''s sack of Rome, the rise of Islam and the onslaught of the Crusaders who would bring about the empire''s end. This is the Rome of Augustus, Marcus Aurelius, and Constantine. But it is also the Rome of Charlemagne, Justinian, and Manuel Comnenus, and countless diverse men and women who shaped the empire: African emperors, Byzantine intellectuals and ordinary citizens whose loyalty together made it the most resilient state the world has ever seen.An expansive, eye-opening portrait, this the definitive history of Rome and its citizens.
The Rise and Fall of the British Army, 1975–2025
A new study of a critical period in the history of the British Army.The last half century has seen society, technology, the character of conflict and the British Army itself all change greatly. From a low point in the 1970s, the Army’s war fighting capability increased in the 1980s in the face of a prospective war with the Soviet Union. This capability was then tested on operations from Kuwait in 1991 through to Afghanistan in 2001 and the 2003 invasion of Iraq.There followed two decades of descent from this high plateau of military achievement. Mistakes made in Iraq and Afghanistan led to a decline in support for military deployments. Cuts to defence funding and botched equipment procurements also meant the British Army of 2021 was only half the size of that of 1970, and with much key fighting equipment either obsolete or approaching obsolescence.Ben Barry served in the Army from 1975 to 2010, often in key staff appointments, and has worked closely with the Army in the following decade. This new study draws not only on his personal experience, but also on a very wide range of written sources complemented by interviews to provide a new interpretation of this period that challenges the existing narratives.

The Book of Kells
A new and definitive account of one of the most famous and mysterious manuscripts in the world.The Book of Kells is a mystery. It is distinct from all copies of the gospels from the early Middle Ages, not only in the quality and amount of its decoration but also in the peculiarities of the ordering of its contents, the oddness of its apparatus, the appearance of the script, the interplay of text and ornament, and the erratic forms of its Latin. Scholars cannot agree on the number of scribes and artists involved; or establish the purpose of the Book; or decide whether its oddities are the result of incompetence or carelessness, and how those oddities relate to the minutely careful and deeply meaningful art.The Book of Kells is probably the most famous manuscript in the world – and Victoria Whitworth''s masterly treatment offers something new.
