Eldridge J: Murder at the Colosseum

Murder at the Colosseum

The captivating historical whodunnit set in Rome

1897, London. The capital is shocked to learn that the body of a woman has been found at the National Gallery, eviscerated in a manner that recalls all too strongly the exploits of Jack the Ripper. The Museum Detectives Daniel Wilson and Abigail Fenton are contacted by a curator of the Gallery for their assistance. The dead woman, a lady of the night, had links to artist Walter Sickert who was a suspect during the Ripper's spree of killings. Scotland Yard have arrested Sickert on suspicion of this fresh murder but it is not the last. Copycat murders of the Ripper's crimes implicate the artist who loves to shock but Sickert insists that he is innocent. Wilson and Fenton have their work cut out catching an elusive and determined killer.

The thrilling historical whodunnit

Murder at the National Gallery

A shocking encounter with American gun culture that reveals the devastating effects of how people are training their minds and bodies for violence. 'Utterly brilliant . . . deeply researched and thoughtful' - Justin Webb, former BBC North America editor Every day, at firearms schools across the country, ordinary Americans are learning how to use a gun. Who are their teachers? What are they being taught, and for what purpose? Harel Shapira, a sociologist at the University of Texas, has spent ten years immersed in the world of gun-training. Throughout the dozens of classes he has taken, he has been taught that the world is filled with 'bad guys' who can only be stopped by the self-styled 'good guys'. He has learned that he must be prepared to kill or be killed. Basic Pistol reveals how these schools are going far beyond teaching the mechanics of gun safety. They are teaching a way of living in the world rooted in racist fears, aggressive masculinity and an entitlement to violence. It will explain why the risk of widespread gun ownership is not simply the possibility of more gun violence and mass shootings. The risk is to the very foundations of democracy itself. 'A must read' - Heather Ann Thompson 'Groundbreaking' - Adam Winkler 'Fascinating, disturbing, necessary' - Eric Klinenberg

How the circulation of coins reflects the movement of people and goods in Roman Egypt In The Nile Flows with Gold, Irene Soto Martín examines ancient Egypt’s economic integration with the Roman world through a numismatic lens. Soto Marín shows that the circulation of coins after the monetary reforms of Diocletian in the third century CE offers a new perspective on broader questions of trade, connectivity, and provincial economic strength in Roman Egypt. When Egypt entered the imperial monetary zone, it was a monumental change for the province—but it also removed a monetary barrier that had separated Egypt from the rest of the Empire. Patterns of circulation, considered with papyrological and archaeological data, show Roman Egypt to be a monetized, economically powerful province able to absorb coinage from all mints around the Empire. Soto Marín argues that Egypt’s monetary profile offers compelling evidence for a sustained positive balance of trade, demonstrating that the province exported substantially more goods than it imported and occupied a uniquely central position in the Roman economy. She situates these findings within a broader historical context, tracing Egypt’s monetary history from the Pharaonic period through the fourth century CE and describing the evolution of its monetary systems, the demise of silver, and the emergence of gold as the de facto currency of the late Roman world. Egypt’s economic prominence, she contends, was rooted not simply in its role within the Empire but in enduring geographical and commercial advantages that connected the Mediterranean, Africa, and the Near East for millennia.

Some of Us Are Liars

This book provides an overview of male violence against women and the failure of the legal system. 

Male violence against women is pervasive. From the bedroom to the boardroom; from the home to the hospital; from the court to the care home, women are subject to male violence. The legal response to this is weak. The violence is either invisible or downplayed. This book explains why and how the law can do better. 

It explores how violence in different settings reinforces and magnifies the abuse in others. Too often violence against women is considered in silos (sexual assault; domestic abuse; street harassment, etc.). The book argues that they must be seen on a continuum. It brings out the common themes, but also the subtle differences in context between the scenes of violence. In doing so it argues that we cannot understand an incident of male violence against women without understanding the broader context within which that takes place. The book claims that the legal response to male violence against women downplays the severity of the harm or even fails to recognise it. 

This is a must-read for those interested in criminal law, gender politics, and feminist approaches to law. It is only when the true nature of the problem is grasped that the law can start to provide an effective response to it. This book shows how a better and more effective law can be found.

Male Violence Against Women

Routledge Studies in Religion and Politics

The Politics of Catholic NGO Networks asks 'Who speaks for the Catholic Church during a humanitarian crisis?' and answers that there is no single voice; only a plurality of Catholic actors whose relationships with the Holy See differ sharply, and whose humanitarian work is shaped as much by internal organisational dynamics and Church politics as by the crises they respond to.This book offers the first comparative study of three of the world's most significant Catholic humanitarian networks: the Caritas confederation, the Jesuit Refugee Service, and the Community of Sant'Egidio, through drawing on over thirty interviews and extensive fieldwork in Rome and the Vatican. Each network occupies a distinct status (dependent, semi-dependent, and independent organisations) in relation to Church hierarchy, producing strikingly different approaches to assisting refugees and forced migrants. Moving between the internal governance of the Church and the external landscape of secular humanitarianism, the book exposes a persistent and more nuanced "religious literacy gap" among UN agencies, donors, and NGOs working alongside faith-based partners. Combining an interpretivist, practitioner-informed methodology at the intersection of IR, religion, and humanitarianism, Dr Intropido directly engaged with diplomats, humanitarian workers, and Church officials, offering both a new theoretical account of religious actors in world politics and a practical checklist for anyone partnering with Catholic humanitarian organisations.The Politics of Catholic NGO Networks will be essential reading for students and scholars of religion and politics, international relations, sociology and anthropology of religion, humanitarian, development, and migration studies, and for practitioners navigating the increasingly visible role of religion in global affairs.

The Dead Man's Empire

'I really cannot overstate how fabulous this book is' DAILY MAIL 'Dazzling... This is biography of great brilliance and rare resonance' WILLIAM DALRYMPLE 'A pulsating, vivid life of a true historical titan' DAN JONES 'A splendid book, lively, erudite... where myth and heroism meet' RORY STEWART A stunningly written new biography of Alexander the Great, based on a series of important new discoveries and the author's own translations of source material from twelve ancient languages. In 336 BCE, at the age of twenty, Alexander, a wide-eyed boy from the hills of Macedon, inherited a tumbledown kingdom, a pile of debts and an army which answered to nobody. Desperate to hold on to power, he led the army east, into the heart of the vast Persian Empire, and inadvertently began the greatest military campaign in history. The young man became a king, the king became a hero, the hero became a living god, and the god died aged thirty-two, broken-hearted in Babylon. For centuries, historians have told his story, yet Alexander has remained a mystery. But now, the ruins of his cities have emerged from the bottom of the sea and the dust of Central Asian hillsides. The diaries of Babylonian astronomers who knew him have been deciphered. The tombs of his ancestors have been unearthed. For the first time, instead of the legend, we can meet Alexander the man. Based on more than a decade of cutting-edge research, Alexander allows readers to feel the desert wind and experience the full horror of battle. Richardson's research has taken him from the catacombs of Egypt to the passes of Afghanistan. Alexander is a cinematic work of non-fiction: a revelatory retelling of one of the most famous and elusive stories in history.
