Imagining Prehistory in Britain, Ireland and Brittany

An important account of how trade unions fought for education in Britain.Trade unions played a massive part in shaping Britain's democracy. But today it's easy to forget that one of their signal achievements was transforming access to education for working people. In Libraries gave us power, Gavin McCann tells the story of how the trade union movement fought for education, untapping the potential of millions. Following the self-taught activists who refused to accept exclusion, he traces their struggles across two-hundred years of history, highlighting successes such as the creation of Oxford's Ruskin College and the earliest elections of working-class MPs. This is a story that carries on into the present, as unions continue to offer essential support through training, learning programmes and campaigns to help workers in a changing economy - all rooted in values that would be instantly recognisable to the movement's pioneers. Rescuing a history that is fast disappearing from view, Libraries gave us power is essential reading for anyone who wants to know the truth about education, democracy and working-class power in modern Britain.

The Crimson Crown Duology

Pay the price of blood and snow: Snow White’s wicked queen rises to her destiny in the second book of a queer, witchy duology that’s hailed as “an alluring, vengeful origin story that brings tremendous dimension to the classic fairy tale” (Chloe Gong)—from the author of Malice. The wicked queen’s story did not end with a happily ever after. And she wouldn’t have it any other way. With the king bound to her magic mirror and Princess Blodwyn, the rightful heir, hidden away in the countryside, Queen Ayleth has the kingdom entirely at her command. Despite her ultimate power, Ayleth finds herself consumed: With fears that the witches from her former coven will return to depose her. With the dread that someone at the palace will discover her secret. With her own deepening dark magic. And with thoughts of her lost love, Jacquetta—the witch whose betrayal still haunts Ayleth as stubbornly as the lingering scent of juniper. But Ayleth’s carefully built world begins to unravel when Blodwyn returns from exile accompanied by Margaret, the king’s scheming sister, and reveals a plan of her own: to invoke Braxos’s Trials, a contest of bravery, wisdom, and justice that could allow Blodwyn to retake the throne. Ayleth suddenly discovers she is in danger of losing the crown she sacrificed everything to win—and she will do anything to retain control. And Ayleth isn’t the only one struggling with her altered position. Blodwyn’s homecoming soon proves more difficult than she imagined. Embroiled in Ayleth’s viperous court, Blodwyn is surrounded by enemies and plagued by rumors of a long-buried curse come to life. As family secrets resurface, the princess isn’t sure who—or what—she can trust. Especially when she may be falling for one of her rivals in the trials. As the battle for the realm intensifies, both Ayleth and Blodwyn find themselves fighting not only for the throne but for the truth of their own souls. Soon, they must each decide: What price are they willing to pay to wear the crown?

The Witch Queen

Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance

This volume explores the economic and financial contexts behind a period of large-scale bankruptcies in Europe across the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. With a particular focus on Spanish and Italian case studies, contributions analyse numerous aspects of failure and insolvency during this time.Despite growing contemporary interest in economic crises—particularly in the aftermath of 2008—the history of bankruptcy practices and the responsibilities of financial actors within the context of early globalisation remains largely underexplored. This volume responds to that need, offering a detailed, archivally grounded and theoretically robust investigation into parallels that exist in early modern Europe. Drawing out comparative analyses between modern and early modern financial crises, the book illuminates how early modern states developed systems of guarantees in tandem with the growth of mercantile capitalism, and covers questions including public debt management, financial transparency, the accountability of economic actors, and the relationship between political and economic power. This book will be a fascinating read for scholars of early modern financial and economic history.Giuseppe De Luca

Needham Research Institute Series

This book is the first collection of scholarly works fully dedicated to exploring disability and impairment in early Chinese history.Early Chinese understandings of disability are effectively revealed through investigations of a wide range of aspects, such as terminological, legal, political, and etiological. The volume explores how early Chinese disability was socially negotiated as a means for creating enabled and at times empowered identities. It shows how oppression and empowerment, when viewed through the prism of such negotiations of identity, were not mutually exclusive. Through such examinations, the volume demonstrates how an approach sensitive to both the separability and the interconnectedness of disability and impairment enables a more nuanced understanding of Chinese disability history specifically, and Chinese notions of embodiment more generally.Bringing together international academics to examine a plethora of topics relating to disability and bodily impairment in early Chinese history, with an eye on their socio-political implications, this book will appeal to students and scholars of Chinese History, History of Medicine, and Disability Studies.

Gambling Law in Ireland

A major reassessment of the British government's communication of the goals of the Second World War and how its propaganda undermined the people's faith in the reliability of war news and the credibility of political leaders.

While waging war against enemies overseas, governments also need to win the hearts and minds of their own citizens. The media is critical to delivering the official message, raising public support for war, maintaining morale, spelling out what is to be achieved, downplaying setbacks, and presenting a bright vision of the postwar future. ln public memory, the British people were united in their support for the Second World War. Yet this popular image of the People's War neglects the fact that the war had to be sold.
 
In this work stretching from appeasement in 1938 through victory, award-winning historian Steven Casey examines how media, government, and armed forces worked to convince the British public to support the war, as well as the ways the British home front often questioned and challenged the official line. Using a vast array of primary sources, some of them previously untapped, he looks at the broad range of problems and policies that needed to be defended and explained, censored and concealed. The venues range widely from the battlefield to the football field, from the rubble-strewn cities of blitzed Britain to the faraway outposts of Empire. ln his chronological narrative of the war, Casey shines light on numerous high-profile episodes, including Munich and Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain and the Blitz, evacuation and rationing, and the campaigns in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Throughout, Casey stresses how the British military forged a relationship with reporters, how this relationship shaped news coverage of the fighting, and how this coverage in turn exerted a profound impact on every other dimension of the government's private and public actions. No one before has examined how all the branches of the armed services kept the home front informed about progress and especially setbacks. Officials, Casey argues, failed to communicate effectively with the British people, which undermined public trust and called the credibility of the political leadership into question. Remarkably, the BBC and Fleet Street sometimes relayed German communiqués to the public because the British government failed to release timely reports of its own. 
 
The Sceptic Isle provides a bold reassessment of how the British government sold the Second World War to the British public. It powerfully showcases how the attempt to mould and manipulate coverage of battles created a major credibility gap that cast a long shadow over the British government's efforts to sell the different dimensions of the Second World War to the home front.

Irish Yearbook of International Law

The Irish Yearbook of International Law supports research into Ireland's practice in international affairs and foreign policy, filling a gap in existing legal scholarship. This new volume covers the years 2023, amid growing state actions reflecting raw political and military power across the American continents, in the Middle East and amid ongoing armed conflicts around the world, most notably in Ukraine and in Gaza. Reports also cover topics on human rights in Ireland, international law in Ireland more generally, and the law of the sea. This volume of the Yearbook includes three articles, addressing international commercial contracts, the use of prosecutorial discretion at the International Criminal Court, and digital open-source evidence in regional human rights courts. Finally, the Yearbook also includes four book reviews covering a wide breadth of international law subjects, such as European legal regulation of technology, the morality of the laws of war, the prohibition of the use of force in international law, and sustainability in international trade agreements.

The Irish Yearbook of International Law, Volume 17, 2023

This book celebrates the life and legacy of one of Ireland's greatest ever jurists - Gerard Hogan. Across his career as an academic, Advocate General at the Court of Justice of the European Union, and judge of the High Court, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court of Ireland, Gerard Hogan has had a profound influence on public law. He is widely regarded as Ireland's leading legal scholar, particularly in constitutional law, administrative law, and EU law. The volume in his honour focuses on the central role of courts in public law. It examines how courts shape constitutional systems, interpret legislation, hold public authorities accountable, and protect rights, while maintaining the balance between the executive, legislature, and citizens. Drawing on themes developed in his scholarship, opinions, and judgments, the book addresses issues such as judicial review, constitutional oversight, the rule of law, and the relationship between judicial independence, public confidence, democracy, and accountability. It also considers comparative and global perspectives on how courts perform these functions across different jurisdictions. Reflecting on Gerard Hogan's enduring contributions to debates on judicial review, separation of powers, fundamental rights, and judicial decision-making, the book serves as both a tribute and a lasting scholarly resource. At a time of ongoing constitutional challenges in Ireland and across Europe, it offers a timely reflection on the principles of public law that Gerard Hogan has shaped over several decades, both on and off the bench.
