Why Would Feminists Trust the Police? - Leah Cowan
Every week it seems there is a fresh scandal involving abhorrent, racist, misogynist behaviour by police officers. Yet these are the very people women are supposed to approach for help when faced with violence. And many feminists, hoping to use the criminal justice system to protect women, fight for stronger laws and longer sentences for those who harm them.Why Would Feminists Trust the Police? traces the history of British feminism’s alliances and struggles with the law and its enforcers. Drawing on the legacy of Black British feminism, Leah Cowan reminds us of the vibrant and creative alternatives envisioned by those who have long known the truth: the police aren’t feminist, and the law does not keep women safe.

The ocean covers about 70 percent of the earth’s surface—a whole world, yet unknown to humanity…and in its depths a nation, thousands of meters beneath the waves. There, the mermaid Jo has been whiling away her days in peace. But that tranquility is shattered when her friend Ryuu is imprisoned for breaking the gravest of undersea laws: Their existence must be kept hidden from the people above. But why would Ryuu let the secret slip? And who did she tell? The curtain rises on Jo’s adventure to save her friend—and on a story of love…?!

The Viaduct Murder (Edition2024) - Ronald Arbuthnott Knox
The Viaduct Murder by Ronald Arbuthnott Knox is a witty mystery that explores themes of amateur investigation, the complexities of human nature, and the unexpected twists in seemingly simple situations. The story follows a group of unlikely investigators – a retired clergyman, a former don, a military intelligence officer, and a vacationing friend – who, after discovering a dead body while playing golf, decide to take the investigation into their own hands. Unwilling to trust the police, they embark on their own sleuthing adventure, relying on their individual skills, intelligence, and wit to unravel the mystery. Through its light-hearted yet engaging narrative, the book delves into themes of curiosity, trust, and the human tendency to question authority, particularly when faced with an unusual situation. The characters' diverse backgrounds bring humor and unique perspectives to the investigation, which often takes unexpected and entertaining turns. At its core, the story is about the importance of human connections, the value of teamwork, and the often humorous complexities that arise when ordinary people are thrust into extraordinary circumstances. This charming mystery offers a delightful blend of intrigue, character dynamics, and sharp humor.

Between the Devil and the Deep - Mark Cowan, Martin Robson
Deep underwater lurks a mysterious man-made illness. It has gone by many names over the years – Satan’s disease, diver’s palsy, the chokes – but today, medics call it decompression sickness. You know it as the bends. In the winter of 2012, British diver Martin Robson joined an expedition to southern Russia which sought to find a submerged cave system never seen by the human eye. On their final day, as Robson attempted to surface after reaching a record depth in the Blue Lake, disaster struck: just seventy-five feet down, he was ambushed by the bends. Forced to gamble on an underwater practice most doctors believe is a suicidal act, he sank back into the water. Soon, his only hope for survival was a dramatic mercy mission organised at the highest levels of the Russian government. Between the Devil and the Deep is the first book to tell the terrifying true story of what it feels like to get the bends, taking you inside the body and mind of a man who suffered the unthinkable. Writer Mark Cowan also explores the fascinating history of decompression sickness, the science behind what causes the disease, and the stories of the forgotten divers ...

Why the Jews? - Dennis Prager, Joseph Telushkin
Why have Jews been the object of the most enduring and universal hatred in history? Why is the Jewish state the most hated country in the world today? Drawing on extensive historical research, Prager and Telushkin reveal how Judaism''s distinctive conceptions of God, Law, and Peoplehood, have rendered the Jews, and now the Jewish state as well, to other people''s God, laws, or national allegiances. Anti-Semitism is not just another ethnic or racial prejudice, and it is not caused, as so many people falsely believe, by Jewish economic success or the need for scapegoats. Rather, anti-Semitism today, as in the past, is a reaction to Judaism and its distinctive values. Separate chapters document how anti-Semitism is a unique hatred (no other prejudice has been as universal, deep, or permanent), and how the Chosen People idea has spawned hatred. The role of non-Jewish Jews such as Marx and the M.I.T. professor, Noam Chomsky, in provoking anti-Jewish animosity as well is examined and explained. WHY THE JEWS? also provides an authoritative overview of the seven major forms of anti-Semitism the Jewish people have suffered: pagan, Christian, Muslim, Enlightenment, Leftist, Nazi and anti-Zionist anti-Semitism.

Police Interrogation, Language, and the Law - Marianne Mason
Recent calls for justice reform have put a spotlight on how the police enforce the law in the United States. How a person''s constitutional rights may be legally thwarted during police interrogation, however, has not been part of any meaningful discussion on police reform. This novel book examines the intersections of the law and policing discourse through the detailed analysis of a large corpus of United States federal court rulings, starting with Miranda v. Arizona (1966). It covers a wide range of topics, including the history of police interrogation in the United States, the role of federal law in handicapping a person''s ability to invoke their right to counsel, and the invocation game of police interrogation that may lead a variety of suspects to change their discursive preferences. It highlights the need for American police interrogation reform, exploring the paths taken by other jurisdictions outside of the United States.

Reactionary and racist ideologues are increasingly present in the French media. Fascist violent groups are gaining ground and confidence in the streets, and assaulting more people. How did we get here? Ugo Palheta shows that the fascist threat is rooted in the triple radicalization - neoliberal, authoritarian and racist - of the French ruling class, and its incapacity to win the consent of a large majority of the people. As a result, and as a factor of an interminable political crisis, this radicalisation has fostered the rise of a new type of fascist threat. The author therefore argues for a renaissance of anti-fascism, capable of leading the fight against the far right, and against the triple offensive that is encouraging its rise.

The Man Who Would Be King: Selected Stories of Rudyard Kipling - Rudyard Kipling
Rudyard Kipling is one of the most magical storytellers in the English language. This new selection brings together the best of his short writings, following the development of his work over fifty years. They take us from the harsh, cruel, vividly realized world of the ''Indian'' stories that made his name, through the experimental modernism of his middle period to the highly-wrought subtleties of his later pieces. Including the tale of insanity and empire, ''The Man Who Would Be King'', the high-spirited ''The Village that Voted the Earth Was Flat'', the fable of childhood cruelty and revenge ''Baa Baa, Black Sheep'', the menacing psychological study ''Mary Postgate'' and the ambiguous portrayal of grief and mourning in ''The Gardener'', here are stories of criminals, ghosts, femmes fatales, madness and murder.

The Boy Who Would Be King - Michael Morpurgo
A beautifully illustrated full-colour tribute to King Charles III, published to mark his coronation. There once was a boy who was going to be king one day... From the Nation's Favourite Storyteller Sir Michael Morpurgo comes a poetic celebration of our new monarch, King Charles III, beautifully illustrated in watercolour by acclaimed artist Michael Foreman. There once was a little boy, born a prince. Encouraged by his parents, he grew up with a passion for the countryside, wanting to look after it. Then, as the longest-serving Prince of Wales in British history, he dedicated decades of his life to raising awareness for conservation. Now our king, his devoted work will continue to inspire the protection of our planet for future generations. This allegorical story tells how - with the help of a tiny acorn - a wise old woman gives a lonely boy, who would be king, the courage and determination to change the world for the better, for everyone. An exquisite companion to There Once is a Queen, this commemoration of King Charles III's coronation is a gift book truly to be treasured.

The Remembrance Trust - Roger Bowdler
Foreword by HRH The Princess Royal Preface by Algy Cluff - some corner of a foreign field - How a nation treats its dead fighting men is a telling barometer. How were soldiers viewed by society? Were lower ranks thought deserving of having honour bestowed on their graves? Was death in battle or in the course of duty worthy of remembrance? Did those who died far from the mother country warrant commemoration - and who at home would ever know? The graves of the majority of those who have died for their country since August 1914 are the responsibility of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. But what of those who fell in previous conflicts - in the Seven Years War, the Revolutionary and French Wars, and the various wars of empire? The Remembrance Trust, founded by Algy Cluff in 2018, has begun to address the issue of caring for early military memorials.
