Close to the crashing waves of Boscastle Harbour in Cornwall, the Museum of Witchcraft &amp; Magic (MoWM) contains one of the world's most loved and most influential collection of magical objects. The museum has changed much during the sixty-plus years that it has been open, yet it retains the imprint of one man in particular: its founder Cecil Williamson. This book tells Williamson's story, and covers his life as a film-maker, a MI6 operative, and an owner and creator of several museums.



Rupert White writes with an honesty and integrity, that never detracts from his affection for the person who is his subject' Professor Ronald Hutton
'A truly exhaustive account' Simon Costin
'A fantastic book, that provides us with many more pieces of the jigsaw' Steve Patterson
Rupert White has pulled together a history of Cecil Williamson's life and his museums - an extraordinary task for which we should all be extremely grateful. From the foreword by Graham King.

Organizational Crime

This timely study offers a concise, yet thorough, introduction to the illicit arms trade. The main theme of the book confronts the complex reality, that while it is proper to think of two separate trades in arms--legal and illegal--in practice there is a considerable overlap between the two. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, Phythian argues that the lessons of the most important and extensive cases of the last 20 years suggest that a significant element of the illicit trade in arms has in fact been sanctioned at some level of government in the pursuit of broader security or geopolitical ends.

Offering a concise, yet thorough, introduction to the illicit arms trade, the main theme of this significant volume confronts the complex reality that while it is proper to think of two separate trades in arms, legal and illegal, in practice there is a considerable overlap between the two. Although this overlap is sometimes distinguished by referring to 'black' (wholly illegal) and 'grey' (semi-legal) markets, this book situates all of these transactions along a continuum under the banner of the 'illicit arms trade'. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, Mark Phythian argues that the lessons of the most important and extensive cases of the last fifteen to twenty years suggest that a significant element of the illicit trade in arms has in fact been sanctioned at some level of government, in the pursuit of broader security or geopolitical ends.

This book offers the first comprehensive sociological analysis of a Pan-Indian Fandom with a transnational footprint.It postulates a sociological definition of 'Fan' and 'Fandom', something lacking in existing literature to date. It also foregrounds a new theory and definition of 'Persona', in addition to substantiating fresh concepts like 'Access Taboo', 'Neutral Reciprocity', 'Diglossic Fan Sociality', 'Numerocracy' and 'Post-Banks'. These concepts and definitions serve to anchor and rejuvenate the Sociology of Fan Cultures, a nascent yet timely field of enquiry. The book revitalizes the Structuralist Tradition in Indian Sociology while also illuminating Fandom through a wealth of new perspectives derived from German Idealism, Symbolic Interactionism, Anthropology of Art and Film Semiotics.This book is an invaluable resource for students and scholars in Sociology, Social Anthropology, Political Sociology, Media Studies, Digital Humanities, Communication Studies, Culture Studies, Film Studies, Performance Studies, Gender Studies, Arts and Aesthetics, and South Asian Studies, giving fresh insights into the evolving dynamics of Fan Cultures in the Digital Age.

The Elementary Structure of Fandom

The go-to resource for uncovering, understanding and overcoming accent and linguistic bias in the workplace. The way you speak can determine everything from whether you get hired or promoted, to whether people listen to you in meetings. It can affect the strength of your business relationships and reputation, but also whether people think they can trust you. We hear accents loud and clear, yet often they are quietly derailing our efforts to create inclusive work environments where every voice is heard. Linguistic discrimination is still unrecognized in the great majority of Diversity, Equity &amp; Inclusion (DEI) circles, yet it underpins every type of discrimination in the workplace from race and age to gender, neurodiversity and even sexuality. It is the hidden bias that is derailing even the best DEI efforts. Accent Matters is the go-to resource for uncovering, understanding and overcoming linguistic bias in the workplace. Through fascinating stories and examples of accent bias from all over the world, you'll find out how you've been conditioned to prefer certain accents over others, and how those preferences interfere with the way you listen to and interact with those around you. For those who have accents, but especially for those who think they don't, this book will be an eye-opening journey into a fundamental bias that affects every aspect of our lives, both professionally and personally.

Accent Matters

Managing projects is not just an administrative task; it has a lot to do with the interaction between the people involved and the conscious and unconscious mental images of the project participants. Unconscious images in particular can be both helpful and hindering, exerting a powerful influence whose cause cannot be grasped. As Lucas Derks, the discoverer of mental space, said: "We make the invisible visible." The project panorama creates new possibilities for perception that reveal unconscious factors influencing the course and success of the project.

Building a New Blueprint for Caribbean Disaster Intelligence

Resilience in the Caribbean - Volume II

For generations, the dominant narrative about Black America has been shaped by struggle, limitation, and despair. But what if that narrative is incomplete? What if the future holds a far more powerful and hopeful story waiting to unfold?

In Why The Future Belongs To Us, author and Human Potential Architect Michael Taylor presents a bold and inspiring vision for what lies ahead. Rather than focusing on the challenges of the past, Taylor explores the emerging opportunities, cultural shifts, and transformative possibilities that are positioning Black America for unprecedented growth, influence, and impact.

Through ten compelling reasons, Taylor challenges long-held assumptions and invites readers to see the future through a new lens-one grounded in resilience, innovation, spiritual awakening, and collective empowerment. Drawing from history, personal insight, and a deep belief in human potential, he argues that the next chapter of Black America's story can be one of leadership, creativity, unity, and prosperity.

This is not a book about denying past struggles. It is a book about recognizing the extraordinary strength that has always existed within the Black community and the powerful role that strength will play in shaping the future.

Hopeful, thought-provoking, and deeply empowering, Why The Future Belongs To Us offers a refreshing and uplifting perspective for anyone who believes that the best days for Black America-and for humanity-are still ahead.

A Vision of Hope, Healing and Unlimited Possibility For Black America

Why The Future Belongs To Us

An unprecedented dialogue between a long-term federal prisoner and a senior prison official reveals how America’s carceral system scars everyone it touches.
No One Gets Out Unscarred argues that the prison system fails not only those it incarcerates, but also the staff who work inside it and the communities to which most will return. Rather than opposing prisoners and correctional officers, it shows how their lives are shaped by the same punitive culture, institutional incentives, and political decisions.
At its center is an extraordinary exchange between two men on opposite sides of the bars: Robert Barton, incarcerated since adolescence in high-security federal prisons, and Jack Donson, a retired Bureau of Prisons official who rose from correctional officer to case manager. Drawn from more than fifty hours of interviews, their interwoven accounts reveal a system that brutalizes prisoners while eroding staff morale, health, and judgment.
Moving beyond exposés and redemption narratives, the book examines the everyday mechanics of incarceration—lockdowns, restrictive housing, medical neglect, mental-health failures, broken grievance systems, and the hollow promise of rehabilitation—through lived experience on both sides.
Rejecting both abolitionist polemic and law-and-order defenses, it asks a pragmatic question: if more than 95 percent of incarcerated people will return home, what kind of prison system actually serves society?

The Case Against America's Prison System, From Both Sides of the Wall

No One Gets Out Unscarred

This book addresses the critical issue of empowering disabled people and enhancing their wellbeing through inclusive, innovative, and value-sensitive assistive technology. Assistive technology is particularly relevant today for a large share of the world's population; approximately two billion individuals who need assistive technology have no sustainable access to it. Access to assistive technology can help prevent and overcome disability-related disadvantages, empowering individuals to engage socially and economically in activities of their choice, making it possible for them to enjoy a fulfilling life. Emphasis is placed on integrating digital solutions with traditional approaches to advance the development and delivery of assistive technology. In contrast, digital assistive technology is not a panacea; innovative assistive technology interventions wield the possibility of new solutions to existing or emerging challenges in the assistive technology space. They can be particularly powerful in low-resource settings, which are currently problematic in matching demand with effective solutions. This book is intended mainly for academic, professional, and educational purposes. The content herein reflects research-based insights, cultural perspectives, and lived experiences related to disability empowerment and assistive technologies.

New Frontiers in Regional Science: Asian Perspectives

This book integrates diversified disciplines, research approaches, and methodologies of area studies, regional economic development, and regional science. With its huge population, China has accomplished rapid economic growth since the 1990s, although the significant income gap among regions and individuals has become a serious problem for its society. China's accession to the WTO in 2001 has had various influences on the entire food system, from agriculture to consumers, through the food manufacturing and distribution industries. The changes in the Chinese food system are considered to have also affected the agriculture and food industries in Asian countries where economic interdependence has been promoted in past decades. The author argues these issues based on interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary methods and approaches and has successfully derived empirical and theoretical results that are rich in policy implications. The topics addressed include food security and sustainability of agriculture especially in the suburbs of big cities; poverty reduction in rural agricultural areas amidst prosperity in urban and coastal areas; regional networks and international trade of the food industry in East Asia; creation of innovative knowledge and human capital for clustering of the agro-food sector; regional development strategy; and international cooperation. The book is interesting for researchers in the field, especially for those who are concerned with the food system that has been changed dynamically in the past two decades, and it is informative, as well, for practitioners who are engaged in related business.

Global Trends and Dynamism of China's Agro-Food System

In today's complex and uncertain world, urban and territorial resilience is vital. From natural and human-made disasters to climate change and globalization, cities and regions face challenges that demand preparedness, adaptability, and transformability, i.e., the capacity to absorb shocks. As social-ecological and complex adaptive systems, they must strengthen their ability to respond and transform. Cultural heritage is increasingly recognized as a territorial asset that enhances resilience by providing identity, tangible resources, and historical knowledge useful for risk prevention and management. In the 21st century, heritage-whether underwater, rural, or embedded in urban space -is seen not as a remnant of the past but as a living system and a source of identity, creativity, economic innovation, cohesion, and environmental sustainability. This Reprint responds to the need to rethink the role of heritage in building resilience by assembling twelve articles that examine its activation across diverse geographic contexts (marine, urban, rural, etc.). The contributions converge on a pivotal argument: heritage must shift from a preservation-focused paradigm to one of active contribution, becoming a strategic asset within place-based development and a driver of new economic activities and innovation. The papers span the Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Europe and address varied forms of heritage, including maritime and underwater cultural heritage, architectural ensembles, vernacular landscapes, traditional practices, and cultural-creative industries.

Cultural Heritage as a Contributor to Territorial/Urban Resilience

'One of the most original and important books on Africa in years' FINANCIAL TIMES'A compelling case for the continent's potential' Bill GatesThe birth of new nations, independent democracies, the unprecedented growth of cities from Lagos to Cairo; the African continent is booming. So why do myths about underdevelopment, unproductive land and overpopulation remain?In a groundbreaking new study of Africa's developmental history, economist Joe Studwell debunks long-held views about the continent's presumed resistance to growth, charting monumental changes in government, demography and asset management. Considering everything from settler colonialism to soil conditions, mineral extractivism to disease development and eradication, Studwell persuasively argues that the seizing back of land, people and states across Africa, has also been the seizure of mass economic development. From slavery to independence and beyond, this is the definitive account of the world's second largest continent - and an optimistic look to its future.
