The Difference Place Makes
How do places shape peacebuilding interventions? Put simply, they are eventful. Geographers have long argued that places are constituted by relations with the wider world, relations that are always in flux. In this theoretically and empirically innovative book Adam Moore argues that the inverse is also true: places are of generative of relations. People and institutions are constituted by their relations with places, relations that extend beyond a particular place in question itself. Drawing on relational and processual perspectives across the social sciences, Moore analyzes the effects that an infamous black market in postwar Bosnia—the Arizona market—had on peacebuilding projects and actors, and sociopolitical relations across the country more generally. Through encounters with, and narratives about, the market, the relations and politics of various actors in Bosnia at the time—from the UN to ordinary citizens—were transformed. Arizona's effects also radiated across time and space, even after it was dismantled, influencing political and social relations in Bosnia and further afield up to the present day. Bringing together scholarship in geography and peace and conflict studies, this book is a must-read for both fields and beyond.
Complete Deer Stalker
Deer stalking entails much more than walking the countryside with a rifle; there is a great deal to be considered prior to lacing boots and donning a green fleece. It is often said that the real work starts after the trigger has been squeezed. This book looks at all aspects of the pursuit, with clear explanations accompanied by advice, images and anecdotes. In addition, there is a unique reference chapter of all potential conditions a deer may suffer from, with full descriptions and images, and advice on suitability for entering the food chain. Specific coverage includes: laws, leases and making a start obtaining an FAC: the necessary equipment in this technological age; deer species, with identifying images; deer senses and how they shape our approach to them; shot placement and maximum shooting distances; the importance of bullet design and its effect on the carcass; stalking activities by month through the year; after the stalk - sticking, initial evisceration, inspection and recovery; at the larder - hygiene, and who needs to register as a food business and finally, inspecting the carcass, with a library of images showing conditions.
Tell Me What's Right
Solicitor Nick Carthy is going through a rough patch in life. Recently separated, he must leave the house he's called home for the last four years and move in with his twin brother. Working desperately to get back on his feet and craft a new plan for his life, the last thing he expects is to run into Ben Kehoe, his former college rival. Ben seems to have it all: a promising career as a barrister, a respectable reputation in legal circles, and an irresistible, charming allure. After agreeing to go their separate ways in their final year at college, they were content to never see each other again. But when a complex murder case forces the two to reunite, old wounds begin to open. Will they ever find a way to control their feelings towards one another?
The Killer in the House
In this chilling domestic thriller debut, a young woman working as a housekeeper—for the subject of a trending true crime podcast—finds herself in a deadly mess when the truth catches up to the hype. Renee Beale is done settling for dead-end jobs and living on her parents’ tree farm in rural Virginia. But just as her life starts to look up, personal tragedy knocks her back down. Desperate for an escape, her only prospect is working for a wealthy Richmond couple with a deadly backstory. Ed Weatherup is a family man, successful, and the perfect employer—except for the fact that he may quite possibly be a murderer. He served five years for his wife’s death before the Innocent Blood podcast helped overturn his conviction. Now he’s back home with his second wife and blended family, vowing publicly to find the real killer. With her past coming to collect, Renee has no choice but to become the Weatherups’ new housekeeper. Suddenly privy to their family secrets and furtive phone calls, she turns to the podcast to learn more about her mysterious employers. But the details don’t add up. And the closer Renee gets to the truth, the more sure she becomes that the killer will strike again.

Tales of Mystery & Imagination
This beautiful collection with a new introduction compiles Edgar Allan Poe’s most terrifying and otherworldly works. Included are the very first modern detective stories, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Roget and The Purloined Letter. As well as these are the most famous of Poe’s works, including The Pit and the Pendulum, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Premature Burial and The Tell-Tale Heart.
The Enchanted April
''To Those who Appreciate Wistaria and Sunshine. Small medieval castle on the shores of the Mediterranean to be let For the month of April, above a bay on the Italian Riviera.''Four very different women--the dishevelled and downtrodden Mrs Wilkins, the sad, sweet-faced Mrs Arbuthnot, the formidable widow Mrs Fisher, and the ravishing socialite Lady Caroline Dester--are drawn to the shores of the Mediterranean that April. As each, in turn, blossoms in the warmth of the Italian spring and finds their spirits stirring, quite unexpected changes occur.The Enchanted April (1922) is a deceptive and timely novel immured in a post-war context, a period noted for its wistful and sometimes satiric writings. Von Arnim''s novel is part of this oeuvre and portrays an escape to a carefully described pastoral enclave away from encroaching urbanisation and the spread of new technologies, in an era when the Great War had left many emotionally and physically starved. The journey to San Salvatore by four unhappy women is an escape from stifling parochialism, constraining social and gendered expectations as well as stultifying insularity, but the evocation of an extraordinarily aesthetic and ''enchanted'' location suggests more than personal recuperation.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Shipped off to India
Signing up for a lifetime in India was a sacrifice, no less for the men than for the women they married. What made that sacrifice worthwhile for the young Richard Temple were qualities now seen as old-fashioned: a belief in God and a sense of purpose, inculcated by the East India College, Haileybury. Convinced it was his duty to do good, he set out to work on behalf of the Company, India and the Indians, all too soon made aware by the tumults of 1857 that the land to which he had committed his life was changing forever. One of the most articulate and energetic men of his generation, he would later, as Sir Richard Temple, serve as Finance Minister, Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal and Governor of Bombay. Accompany him through the demanding formative years and his tragically brief marriage, until, aged only thirty-six, he was entrusted with sole control of a whole region to govern.

Their rivalries threaten the religion that worships Craithe, the God Mountain, and the resurgence of the fabled, and utterly insane, elven race, it's not a good time to be a reluctant bride about to be married off to seal an alliance between ancient rivals. Princess Syzenne's attitude is famed across the kingdom, but she's hiding a secret. She's a Scourge - a powerful being armed with terrifying abilities at her fingertips. And as political tensions come to a head, it turns out she may not be the only one with the potential to change the world... The Dead Man's Empire revisits the characters and the trials of The Last Blade Priest, adding powerful new characters and plot twists into the growing crisis that is sweeping the world.
Dispatches and Dictators
Oregon Book Award Winner for General NonfictionDispatches and Dictators uncovers the fascinating story of Oregon native Ralph Barnes, the New York Herald Tribune’s European correspondent, who served in Paris, Rome, Moscow, Berlin, and London in the years between the two world wars. Barnes has been praised by colleagues and competitors alike as one of the best reporters of that pivotal era. But since his death in the 1940 crash of a British bomber in Yugoslavia, he has been largely forgotten. With persistence and unusually keen insight, Ralph Barnes reported on Fascism, Communism, Nazism, and the events leading to World War II. Stalin confined Barnes to Moscow for disclosing that millions were dying during the Soviet collectivization of agriculture, and Hitler expelled Barnes from Germany for predicting the Nazi attack on the Soviet Union. In Dispatches and Dictators, historian Barbara Mahoney chronicles the short life and brilliant career of Ralph Barnes. Her biography of this extraordinary reporter provides new insights into the tumultuous decade leading up to World War II.
Cottagecore Gardens
A home does not end at its doorsteps. Cottagecore Gardens picks up where Cottagecore left off, shifting from interiors to the outdoor spaces that frame and sustain them. Courtyards, edible plots, meadows, and off-grid enclaves reveal a logic shaped by time and care rather than design rules. Loose borders and self-seeded paths speak to gardens that evolve with time and use. Together they embody a broader cultural turn toward slower, more intentional living, where the garden becomes refuge, resource, and extension of home.

Prokletý deník
Když se autor hororů Thad McAlister pustil do psaní své nejnovější knihy vycházející z čarodějnických procesů v Massachusetts, plynula slova sama od sebe. Příběh se valil vpřed a zaplňoval stránku za stránkou skutky té nejděsivější postavy, kterou jeho představivost kdy stvořila. Bylo to jeho největší dílo, takové, které by mu zajistilo místo mezi legendami žánru.
Šlo však skutečně o fikci?
Neúmyslně otevřel dveře do světa, jenž měl brzy ohrozit životy jeho blízkých.
Ona se chce vrátit.
Jeho žena doma bojuje, aby udržela jejich rodinu naživu. Ve skrytu duše však přemýšlí, zda to vše nezpůsobila sama… obchodem, který uzavřela před dávnou dobou.
ÚRYVEK Z DENÍKU CLAYTONA STONA – 1692
Dnes byla vyslýchána bez mučení v městysi Shadow Cove na základě obvinění z čarodějnictví. Tvrdila, že se toho zločinu nedopustila a nikdy v životě se nezřekla Boha. Díval jsem se, jak ji vyvádějí ven. Ubohou, neduživou bytost, vyčerpanou časem stráveným za zdmi žaláře. Bosé nohy a ruce měla spoutané koženými řemeny, oděv rozervaný na cáry. Navzdory svému stavu šla s hlavou vztyčenou a hleděla svým žalobcům zpříma do očí. Stále odmítá prozradit své jméno, takže nemůžeme vyhledat záznam o jejím křtu, a nemá ani rodinu, jež by předstoupila a označila ji za svou. Nemáme důvod věřit, že je něčím jiným než sirotkem. Shledávám, že na ni ve chvílích předcházejících jejímu procesu nedokáži pohlédnout zpříma. Ona mě však sleduje očima v odstínu té nejtmavší modři.

Architecture Against Architecture
Architecture, as we know it, is in crisis. The authority of architects is crumbling, their methods no longer tenable. In a highly critical introspection, architect and writer Reinier de Graaf explores the tough choices ahead and the course of action that must follow.
Architecture Against Architecture demands we rethink both how and why we build. With wit and insight, De Graaf lays out the future of the profession, challenging readers to question the fundamental assumptions of the discipline. How do we end the feudal veneration of starchitects? When will architects finally recognize that it is in their own best interest to unionize? Why aren't more practices collectively owned? Why do so many architects over sixty-seven refuse to retire? How do we stop buildings from being copy-righted? What will remain of architecture after AI? What can prevent iconic structures from being embroiled in money laundering? And the vital question: What projects should architects refuse on moral grounds?
Hanns Eisler and His Circle in Republican Spain
Studies the development and impact of Hanns Eisler's music and Marxist activism in the tensions of 1930s Spain, revealing the interplay of varied influences, ideology and antifascist propaganda. Hanns Eisler in Republican Spain is the first comprehensive study to explore the political, artistic, and intellectual engagements of Hanns Eisler and his circle of Marxist musicians - including the singer Ernst Busch and the musicologist Otto Mayer-Serra - in relation to Spain between 1931 and 1939. The book reconstructs Eisler's collaborations with a broad range of Spanish antifascist organisations, examines the reception of his compositional and theoretical work in Republican Spain, and assesses the deep impact of the Spanish civil war on his vocal and symphonic music. It highlights the influence of key local, national, and international communist structures - notably the Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia (PSUC), the Communist Party of Spain (PCE), and the Comintern (Third International) - on the musical and political projects of Eisler and his circle. Grounded in detailed analysis of an extensive corpus of textual, musical, and press materials - primarily preserved in archives in Spain, Germany, Russia, France, and the United States - this study offers new critical frameworks for understanding the role of Western modernist music in contexts of ideological conflict and war. It provides a fresh perspective on the complex entanglements between antifascist propaganda and musical modernism in the interwar period. Hanns Eisler in Republican Spain makes a vital contribution to scholarship at the intersection of music, exile, propaganda, communism, and antifascism, and more broadly, to the study of how political ideologies shaped music, aesthetics, and musical thought across national boundaries during a pivotal era in twentieth-century European history.
