The Baby Farm Murderer
A forensic study of the trial of Amelia Dyer, one of Britain’s most prolific serial killers, thought to have murdered up to 400 babies. This book explores how life in Victorian England created the ideal conditions for Amelia to establish herself as a baby farmer, taking infants from desperate women in exchange for payment.It examines what motivated her to kill and go on killing: her need for money versus her role as custodian in a cult that worshipped Lucifer and delves into her personal life, taking evidence from hundreds of contemporary trial and government records, memoirs and newspaper articles, and investigating what it was about society and policing in the late nineteenth-century that allowed her to get away with it for so long.The nineteenth century was a horrible time to be a woman in England. The lack of legal and effective birth control affected even the highest in the land. Queen Victoria, after having given birth to nine children, was advised by physicians for the sake of her health to have no more. Her diaries complain of ‘no more fun in bed’ as the only legal and safe way to avoid pregnancy was abstinence from sexual intercourse.It was against this backdrop that Amelia Dyer carried out her monstrous campaign. In 1856, she began advertising in local papers under assumed names and reassuring backgrounds, offering to adopt newborn babies in exchange for fees that varied according to the means of the mother. Her 40-year-long killing spree only ended with a local police force sting operation.
Zbloudilé ovečky
Vstupte do chaotického světa rodiny Flynnových, kde nic není tak, jak se zdá, a každý člen balancuje na hranici osobní katastrofy. Rodiče Bud a Catherine se potýkají s rozpadajícím se otevřeným manželstvím, zatímco jejich dcery žijí své vlastní divoké životy: nejstarší Abigail se zaplétá s pochybým mužem přezdívaným „War Crime Wes“, prostřední Louise vede tajnou korespondenci s internetovým teroristou a geniální nejmladší dcera Harper, posedlá paranoidními představami, je poslána do nápravného tábora v divočině. Do jejich ospalého přímořského městečka přichází Paul Alabaster, záhadný miliardář, jehož přítomnost provází šeptané zvěsti o korupci. Když se Harper rozhodne odhalit jeho temná tajemství, nevědomky vtahuje celou rodinu do středu nebezpečné kriminální sítě. Kniha Zbloudilé ovečky je rodinná sága 21. století, která s černým humorem a nekompromisní upřímností zkoumá, jak daleko jsme ochotni zajít pro ty, které milujeme – a jak může chaos paradoxně vést k novému porozumění.
4 Janes
Through time, space, and the transcendence of maternal love, Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre is reimagined in the parallel lives of one soul searching for meaning, connection, and a place to belong. Jane Eyre is a missionary’s wife. A bookseller in Vietnam. A time traveler. A hero in a modern gothic tale. What if Jane’s story didn’t end with her marriage to Edward Rochester? What if she never married him at al? n one lifetime, Jane travels to India and Burma as Mrs. St. John Rivers. In another, she’s Trang, a young woman selling books in Vietnam, vying for the love of the local priest. Yet another picks up where Brontë left her, now grieving the loss of her child and crossing time and space to find him. And finally, a young Vietnamese-American man searching for himself in Boston, a tutor whose relationship with a veteran feels strangely, achingly familiar…Each thread tells Jane’s story in sweeping, heartbreaking shades of loss, vulnerability, yearning, and the fierce love of mother and child that withstands time and space. While she may long for something more out of a life she didn’t get to choose, she can still decide what to make of it.
The Real Wallis Simpson
A thorough and illuminating biography of the infamous Wallis Simpson, who was one American half of the biggest scandals to hit royalty and the greatest love affair known for centuries. This book will be a holistic portrayal of the real Wallis Simpson, the woman behind the myth. Richly elaborative, the book is infused with anecdotes and stylish photographs of a bygone era. A ‘real,’ honest view of the woman, straight to the point and reflecting aspects of her complex and mysterious character, drawing on research from members of the fashionable London circle, as well as the Baltimore society where she was born and raised. The book will approach from a peripatetic view - from her inner circle of society’s hottest crowds in London with the question of ‘Was she? Was she not?' embroiled in sinister pro-Nazi plots, to the shores of former ‘Peking’, trotting through the streets on a rickshaw. Delve into a dramatic and fascinating piece of history that took place in an upheaval of societal and economic unrest. Discover a woman who was practical and resourceful, yet went to more parties than she cares to remember. The enigmatic and multi-faceted persona that led many to believe that there was more than meets the eye.

Coronations and Defenestrations
The Conservative Party and its leaders have shaped modern Britain. Who leads the Conservative Party matters, but how do they get to the top of their part? istorically, leaders were expected to "emerge" through unknown and unknowable processes, typically involving the monarch and party grandees. Every party leader until the 1960s was chosen this way. But as postwar Britain embraced all things modern and meritocratic, the Tory party’s traditional ways of working appeared out of touch. The rules were changed subsequently and again after the 1997 landslide defeat. Tory MPs now decide which two candidates are to be put to a members’ vote. A decision which has resulted in the ignominious situation of a leader elected without the support of the parliamentary party. In this lively telling of Conservative Party history, Lee Evans asks whether the leadership election rules are the source of the party’s current decline and considers what a more effective process might look like for choosing and deposing the leader while in opposition or in office.

Poison City 1
Do olympiády v Tokiu zbývá zhruba půl roku a celá země se na událost nadšeně připravuje. Součástí příprav je však i vlna přehnaného puritánství, projevující se mimo jiné cenzurou tiskovin, která má Japonsku zajistit co nejlepší obraz v očích světové veřejnosti. V této dusivé atmosféře se mladý autor Mikio Hibino těší na vydání své hororové mangy Dark Walker. Ta však brzy upoutá nevítanou pozornost posudkové komise a vzápětí se roztočí kolotoč událostí, nad kterými zůstává rozum stát... Tecuja Cucui přináší na základě vlastních profesních zkušeností fascinující pohled na svobodu projevu a zákulisí tvorby mangy.
Stalin’s Top Spies
Formed a mere two months after the Bolshevik Revolution, the Cheka, the Soviet Security and Intelligence Agency, was formed to gather intelligence and promote revolution abroad. This organisation underwent a series of transformations over the following decades and achieved some remarkable successes against Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, the USA, and the United Kingdom. Throughout the 1930s, the Soviets pursued their ambition of gaining influence in Eastern Europe. It was a plan that inevitably brought them into conflict with Nazi Germany, against which they began setting up clandestine organisations that were meant to become operational in the event of war. The USA had been of peripheral interest to the Soviets up until the prospect of war loomed ever closer. Then, when it became known that Britain and the USA were exploring the potential of atomic weapons, espionage in the western hemisphere became of paramount importance. Despite their being allies against the Nazis, the Soviets significantly increased spying activity against both nations in an effort to develop their own atomic bomb programme. After the end of the Second World War, a new and ominous threat hung over the world in the guise of the Cold War when the Soviets brought into play their British spy network which became known as the Cambridge Five. These were agents who had been radicalised and recruited during the 1930s and then embedded within the British security services. In Stalin’s Top Spies the author explores five of the Soviet Union’s greatest spies: Leopold Trepper (and the Red Orchestra), Ursula Kuczynski (the Atomic Spy), Richard Sorge (a Soviet agent in Tokyo), Kim Philby (the Cambridge Spy), and Rudolf Abel (a Soviet intelligence officer who was arrested in the USA on charges of espionage in 1957). The book not only reveals their successes and failures, but assessing the extent to which they influenced world events from the Second World War through to the early years of the Cold War. In so doing, it also highlights the failures of the target nations to recognise the threat posed to them and exposes their lack of success in dealing with it.

Here you will explore the history of the Wild Hunt and similar groups of spirits from Europe to the US, looking at who may lead the Hunt and what its wider purpose might be.
The British Rail High Speed Train
After fifty years of service the lives of the HST 125s are now drawing to a close. Some remain to remind us of the extraordinary impact these trains had on British Rail’s operations over so many decades, but their number is dwindling fast. A long goodbye, but a goodbye nonetheless. With their days numbered, now would seem to be the time to consider the achievement of the design engineers who created them and the service they rendered across Britain’s rail network, aided by so many others. It is a story that might never have been told if BR’s plans for its Advanced Passenger Train had reached fruition more quickly. But delay upon delay meant that there was pressing need for a fast modern passenger less technically advanced substitute to fill the gap. The 125s were the result and very quickly they showed what they could do, and would continue to do wherever BR, or the privatised companies that followed in the 1990s, operated them. This book pays homage to these exceptional trains and all those who were involved in their design, construction and day to day operation.

1066 Norman Bruisers
The 1066 Norman Bruisers conjures up the vanished world of England in the late Middle Ages and casts light on one of the strangest quirks in the nation’s history: how a bunch of European thugs became the quintessentially English gentry.In 1066 go-getting young immigrant Osbern Fitz Tezzo crossed the Channel in William the Conqueror’s army. Little did he know that it would take five years to vanquish the English, years in which the Normans suffered almost as much as the people they had set out to subdue. For the English, the Norman Conquest was an unmitigated disaster, killing thousands by the sword or starvation. But for Osbern and his compatriots, it brought territory and treasure – and a generational evolution they could never have imagined.Osbern’s descendants settled in Cheshire, which played a pivotal role in medieval England as the launch pad for Edward I’s Welsh wars, the chief recruiting ground for royal armies and Richard II’s regional powerhouse. Successive members of the Boydell family fought for monarchs and magnates, oversaw royal garrisons, travelled abroad as agents of the crown and helped to administer the laws of the land. When they weren’t strutting across the stage of northwestern England, mingling with great men and participating in great events, they engaged in feuds, embarked on illicit love affairs and exerted their influence in the small corner of the country they had made their own. By 1378, when William Boydell died from wounds sustained in combat, the nation he defended was England and the enemy he opposed dwelled just forty miles from the place where Osbern had probably grown up.

America''s First War
The 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence represents an opportunity to reconsider the United States of America's founding document. In America's First War: The Military History of the Declaration of Independence, a gathering of expert scholars boldly reinterprets the declaration, encouraging readers to remember that this foundational document was written during a war. Far from an abstract philosophical treatise on liberty, this groundbreaking collection argues that the Declaration of Independence was crafted to achieve practical military objectives, a calculated move to legitimize armed rebellion and attract foreign military support, particularly from France and Spain. Drawing on diplomatic correspondence, military records, and contemporary political writings, the book reveals how the Declaration functioned as a rallying cry to galvanize domestic support for the Revolutionary War. It also uncovers the deliberate rhetorical choices made by Thomas Jefferson and the Continental Congress to frame the colonies as a sovereign nation worthy of international recognition and military alliances. By reframing the Declaration as a wartime instrument rather than a purely ideological manifesto, this work challenges traditional narratives and opens new avenues for understanding the American Revolution. America's First War is essential reading for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the complex interplay between warfare and politics.
