Cosmologies and Biologies Illuminated Siamese Manuscripts of Death, Time and the Body

By Justin McDaniel A fascinating study of rare Siamese illuminated manuscripts of two kinds, biological and cosmological. Beautiful in themselves, these manuscripts are produced under unusual conditions and no one of them is like another, though they draw on a common pool of rituals, actions and stories. This ground-breaking publication examines closely and contextualises 14 of the most striking and visually unique manuscripts of this kind known in or outside Thailand, with a detailed catalogue and a fascinating introductory essay discussing the belief systems and activities they represent.

Burmese Silver from the Colonial Period By Alexandra Green Presents an exceptional collection of rare Burmese silver. Accompanied by detailed photographs and explanatory texts, this ground-breaking book proposes a new way of looking at Burmese silver. Arguing that exploring the who, when, where, and what of Burmese silver is not the best way to understand it, Alexandra Green examines silver from a local perspective, drawing on Burmese texts and information that allows for a nuanced view of the motifs, designs, and patterns that appear repetitively on silver pieces.

Munch and his World Graphic Arts and the Avant-garde in Paris and Berlin

Edited by Giulia Bartrum Examines the technical advances which allowed Edvard Munch to create an entirely new visual language. The art of Edvard Munch is striking for the originality and universality of its themes, which cross moments in place and time. Yet he was very much an artist of the 19th century, and the focus of this publication is to show how, especially in his prints and photographs, Munch was enabled by technical advances to create an entirely new visual language, and how his work reflects wider contemporary debates on developments in medicine and science.

Van Gogh Self Portraits

Edited by Karen Serres and By Louis van Tilborgh and Martin Bailey A beautifully-produced publication accompanying the first ever exhibition devoted to Vincent van Gogh’s self-portraits spanning his entire career. The myth of Van Gogh today is linked as much to his extraordinary life as it is to his stunning paintings. His biography has often shaped the way that his self-portraits have been (mis)understood. This book reconsiders this aspect of his production and places the artist’s self-representation in context to reveal the role it plays in his oeuvre. It includes detailed entries on each work, an appendix illustrating all of Van Gogh’s self-portraits and three insightful essays on the theme.

Suzanne Valadon Model, Painter, Rebel

Edited by Nancy Ireson Reconsiders the life and legacy of the revolutionary artist Suzanne Valadon. This lavish catalogue accompanies the first exhibition at a major American venue of the French model and painter Suzanne Valadon (1865–1938). Seen in the 21st century, Valadon's confrontational and witty works still challenge viewers with their unapologetic presentations of women’s bodies, female desire, and the conflicts of marriage and motherhood. Always faithful to figurative representation, she refused to follow artistic trends, developing a distinctive pictorial language characterised by decisive lines and bold colouration.

ARCHITECTURE & URBAN PLANNING

Architecture and Anarchism Building without Authority

By Paul Dobraszczyk A ground-breaking presentation of 60 projects of ‘anarchist’ architecture. The book documents and illustrates 60 projects, past and present, that key into a libertarian ethos and desire for diverse self-organised ways of building. They are what this book calls an 'anarchist' architecture, that is, forms of design and building that embrace the core values of traditional anarchist political theory since its divergence from the mainstream of socialist politics in the 19th century. These are autonomy, voluntary association, mutual aid, and self-organisation through direct democracy. As the book shows, there are a vast range of architectural projects that can been seen to reflect some or all of these values, whether they are acknowledged as specifically anarchist or otherwise. Anarchist values are evident in projects that grow out of romantic notions of escape – from isolated cabins to intentional communities. Yet, in contrast, they also manifest in direct action – occupations or protests that produce micro-countercommunities. Artists also produce anarchist architecture – intimations of much freer forms of building cut loose from the demands of moneyed clients – and so do architects and planners who want to involve users in a process normally restricted to an elite few. Finally, building without authority is, for some, a necessity – the thousands of migrants denied their right to become citizens, even as they have to live somewhere; or the unhoused of otherwise affluent cities forced to build improvised homes for themselves. The result is to significantly broaden existing ideas about what might constitute anarchism in architecture and to argue strongly for its nurturing in the built environment. Understood in this way, anarchism offers a powerful way of reconceptualising architecture as an emancipatory, inclusive, ecological and egalitarian practice.

Building Character The Racial Politics of Modern Architectural Style

By Charles L. Davis Explores parallels between the development of racial and architectural thinking. Parallels between racial and architectural characters provided a rationalist model of design that fashioned some of the most influential national building styles of the past, from the pioneering concepts of French structural rationalism to the nationalist associations of the Chicago Style. This book traces the racial charge of the architectural writings of five modern theorists to highlight the social, political, and historical significance of the spatial, structural, and ornamental elements of modern architectural styles.

Building Schools, Making Doctors Architecture and the Coming of Age of American Physicians

By Katherine L. Carroll The first comprehensive study of the architecture of medical schools and facilities. In the late 19th century, medical educators intent on transforming American physicians into scientifically trained, elite professionals swiftly recognised the value of medical school design for their reform efforts. This book reveals how the new buildings constructed during this 50-year period did more than passively house a new system of medical training; they actively participated in defining and promoting a reformed pedagogy, modern science, and the new physician.

Five and One Theses on Modernity Buenos Aires Across the Arts, 1921–1939

By Eleni Kefala Analyses artistic works across disciplines with a focus on the city of Buenos Aires as a playground of modernity. By 1920, Buenos Aires was the largest and most cosmopolitan city of Latin America due to mass immigration from Europe. Unbridled urban expansion had drastic effects on the social and cultural topography of the city and artists responded to these changes with conflicting depictions of urban space. Focusing on these conflicts, this book looks at the interaction between modernity and modernism in literature, photography, film, and painting during the interwar period.

History by HBO Televising the American Past

By Rebecca Weeks Examines the capabilities of the long-form serial for engaging with historical stories. The television industry is changing, and with it, the small screen's potential to engage in debate and present valuable representations of American history. Founded in 1972, HBO has been at the forefront of these changes, leading the way for many network, cable, and streaming services into the "post-network" era. Despite this, most scholarship has been dedicated to analysing historical feature films and documentary films, leaving TV and the long-form drama hungry for coverage. In this book, Rebecca Weeks fills the gap in this area of media studies and defends the historiographic power of long-form dramas. By focusing on this change and its effects, she outlines how history is crafted on television and the diverse forms it can take. Weeks examines the capabilities of the long-form serial for engaging with historical stories, insisting that the shift away from the network model and toward narrowcasting has enabled challenging histories to thrive in home settings. As an examination of HBO's unique structure for producing "quality" historical dramas, Weeks provides four case studies of HBO series set during different periods of U.S. history: Band of Brothers (2001), Deadwood (2004–2007), Boardwalk Empire (2012–2014), and Treme (2010–2013). In each case, HBO's lack of advertiser influence, commitment to creative freedom, and generous budgets continues to draw and retain talent who want to tell historical stories. Balancing historical and film theory in her assessment of the roles of mise-en-scène, characterisation, narrative complexity, and sound in the production of effective historical dramas, Weeks' evaluation acts as an ode to the most recent "Golden Age" of TV, as well as a critical look at the relationship between entertainment media and collective memory.

By Andrew A. Erish A historically rigorous and thorough account of the most influential producer of American motion pictures during the silent era. This book provides a comprehensive examination and reassessment of the company most responsible for defining and popularising the American movie. This history challenges long-accepted Hollywood mythology that simply isn't true: that Paramount and Fox invented the feature film, that Universal created the star system, and that these companies, along with MGM and Warner Bros., developed motion pictures into a multi-million-dollar business. It reveals that the truth about Vitagraph is far more interesting than the myths that later moguls propagated about themselves.

New Constructions of House and Home in Argentine and Chilean Film By Paul Merchant An innovative examination of domestic spaces in Latin American cinema. Houses in the Argentine and Chilean films of the early 21st-century provide much more than a backdrop to on-screen drama. This book argues that domestic spaces are instead the medium through which new, fragile common identities are constructed. In doing so, it expands the theoretical scope of studies in Latin American cinema by finding new points of contact between the cultural critique of Nelly Richard, the work of Bruno Latour, and theories of new materialism.

Havel Unfinished Revolution

By David Gilbreath Barton Newly published into paperback on the 10th anniversary of Havel's death. This is the story of a man who tried to resurrect the spirit of democratic life – his story and the story of the writers, artists, actors, and philosophers who took it upon themselves to remember a tradition that had failed so miserably it had almost been forgotten. Václav Havel (1936–2011), the famous Czech dissident, intellectual, and playwright, was there when a half million people came to Wenceslas Square to demand an end to Communism in 1989. Many came to hear him call for a free Czechoslovakia, for democratic elections, and a return to Europe. The demonstrators roared when he spoke. 'Havel to the castle,' they chanted – meaning Havel for president. And a few weeks later, Havel became a most unusual president. He was sometimes misunderstood and not always popular, but by the time of his death in 2011, the world recognised Havel as one of the most prominent figures of the twentieth century. Born into one of the most prominent and wealthy families in Prague, Havel was the constant subject of attention and an artistic eccentric in a family of businessmen. A young Havel and his family were cast by the Communist takeover as class enemies. Havel travelled a dark road that, ironically, provided the experiences he needed to reconnect not only to his own "ground of being" but to the traditions of civic society. In this intimate and sweeping portrayal of Havel, David Barton reveals the eccentricities of the last president of Czechoslovakia, and the first president of the Czech Republic.

A master manipulator and skilled con artist, Brinkley's story was but a patchy perpetuation of myths by journalistic and personal accounts – until now. Alton Lee brings Brinkley's infamous legacy to the forefront, exploring how he ruthlessly exploited the sexual frustrations of aging men and the general public's antipathy toward medical doctors for his personal gain.

The public has voiced concern over the adverse effects of vaccines from the introduction of the first smallpox vaccine in 1796. This book explores vaccine hesitancy and refusal among parents in industrialised North America. Although biomedical, public health, and popular science literature has focused on a scientifically ignorant public, this book suggests the real problem lies not in misunderstanding, but in mistrust. In a fraught communications landscape, Vaccine Hesitancy advocates for trust-building measures that focus on relationships, transparency, and justice.

Persian Blues By Gohar Homayuonpour A psychoanalyst’s exploration of love, loss and life through the lens of Blues music. In this new work, Gohan Homayounpour dives into the dark waters of the Blues, freely moving from patient case studies to conversations with friends, to global events, to re-examinations of classic works of psychoanalytic literature. Adopting the rhythms and repetitions of Blues music, the book traces a path beyond melancholia, through the cycles of motherhood, grief, and her own psychoanalytic practice, to suggestions of hope and desire for herself, her patients, for Iran and further afield.

HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE

Imagining the Darwinian Revolution from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Edited by Ian Hesketh Considers the relationship between the development of evolution and its historical representations. The idea of the Darwinian Revolution is a historical construct devised to help explain the changing scientific and cultural landscape that was ushered in by Charles Darwin’s singular contribution to natural science. And yet science historians have moved away from traditional 'great man' narratives to focus on the collective role that previously neglected figures have played. This book explores these interpretations and exploitations of the history of evolution since the 19th century.

Edited by Eike-Christian Heine and Martin Meiske Analyses infrastructures as intense sites of knowledge production in the Americas, Europe, and Asia since the late 19th century. Moving beyond classical places known for yielding scientific knowledge, chapters in this volume explore how the construction and maintenance of canals, highways, dams, irrigation schemes, the oil industry, and logistic networks intersected with the creation of know-how and expertise. They also examine largely overlooked perspectives on modernity: the reliance of infrastructure on knowledge, and infrastructures as places and occasions that inspired a greater understanding of the natural world and the technologically made environment.

Psychic Investigators Anthropology, Modern Spiritualism, and Credible Witnessing in the Late Victorian Age

By Efram Sera-Shriar Examines British anthropology’s engagement with the modern spiritualist movement during the late Victorian era. The book draws on major themes, such as the historical relationship between science and religion, the history of scientific observation, and the emergence of the subfield of anthropology of religion in the second half of the 19th century. What becomes clear through this nuanced examination of Victorian anthropology is that arguments involving spirits or psychic forces usually revolved around issues of evidence, or lack of it, rather than faith or beliefs or disbeliefs.

A Diplomatic Meeting Reagan, Thatcher, and the Art of Summitry

By James Cooper An innovative basis to understand the relationship between two leaders. Author James Cooper proposes that Reagan and Thatcher's summitry demonstrated that foreign policy was not distinct from domestic policy: there was just policy, and the related politics of it. This unique study about the making of the Reagan-Thatcher relationship uses their key meetings as avenues of exploration and argues that there is fluidity between the domestic and international spheres, which is underappreciated within existing interpretations of the leaders' relationship, Anglo-American relations and, more broadly, in the realm of international affairs.

He demonstrates that, alone, the human rights issues surrounding the Republic of Turkey's invasion of Cyprus fail to explain the resulting US-Turkish estrangement. Instead, factors including deep-seated "Turkophobia," growing concern about a heroin epidemic in the United States, and pro-Greek lobbies played important roles in heightening tensions.

Wittgenstein and Marx Language, Mind and Society

Edited by Felice Cimatti, Christoph Demmerling and Pietro Garofalo Explores the affinities between the work of Marx and Wittgenstein. This volume offers a comparison between two philosophers who belong to two different philosophical traditions and who have rarely been discussed together: Karl Marx and Ludwig Wittgenstein. Despite these thinkers' many distinctions, this volume reconstructs not only how the 'second' Wittgenstein was influenced by the Marxist tradition, but also – and above all – the theoretical affinities between the two philosophers.

Technological Destinies of the Imagination By Pietro Montani An exploration of Kant’s theory of imagination and the cognitive practices preceding the advent of articulated speech. The tradition of Kant's critical philosophy developed the concept of imagination in a rigorous and productive way. It also allows us to develop an aesthetic approach suitable to explaining and understanding the relationship between sensitivity and technology. In this book, Montani defends the reasons to place this concept in a paleo-anthropological framework, linking it to the imaginative practices that preceded and prepared the advent of articulated discourse, and paying particular attention to developments in cinema and digital image formats.

By Luca Vanzago Examines the complex notion of process as worked out by Alfred N. Whitehead. Throughout his whole career, Alfred N. Whitehead emphasised the importance of process for the account of reality. Concrescence and Transition discusses Whitehead's concept of process starting from his works in mathematics, logic and epistemology of the natural sciences, in order to pave the way for a better understanding of Whitehead's speculative philosophy. The focus is on the relationship between concrescence and transition, seen as deeply correlated and reciprocally determined.

‘The Poem of the Understanding is Philosophy’ Novalis and the Art of Self-criticism

By Fernando Manuel Ferreira Silva Attempts to determine how Novalis solves his spiritual conflict under the guise of a theory of opposites. At the onset of his philosophical production in the fall of 1795, the poet Novalis wrote a long series of fragmentary annotations posthumously entitled Fichte-Studien, dealing with a range of important themes, but particularly a spiritual conflict between opposites, namely, poetry (life) and philosophy, or feeling and reflection. This book explores how Novalis solves his spiritual conflict under the guise of a theory of opposites, in light of his reading of the same problem in Reinhold and Fichte.

Powerful narratives often describe Latin American nations as fundamentally mestizo. Recent multiculturalist reforms have increased recognition of Black and Indigenous identities and cultures but while multiculturalism may address more casual and social forms of racism, it can also distract attention from structural racism and racialized inequality.

Being Irish New Views on Irish Identity Today

Edited by Marie-Claire Logue Short personal essays by well-known Irish people on Irish culture and heritage. What makes the Irish unique? Why do over 70 million people worldwide embrace their Irish heritage? What does it mean to be Irish today? These and other questions are addressed in this fascinating new book. Being Irish gathers a diverse group of 100 people – including well-known actors, musicians, novelists, sportspeople, journalists, political and religious leaders, community activists, asylum seekers, students and others – each trying to give expression to that special something that is more or less recognisable as Irish. Twenty-one years ago, Paddy Logue compiled the original edition of Being Irish to better understand the recent changes Ireland had undergone. Now his daughter, Derry-based solicitor Marie-Claire Logue, takes up the challenge to take a fresh look at Irishness, this time against a backdrop of Covid-19, Brexit, economic insecurity, weakening influence of the Catholic Church and a rapidly changing Northern Ireland. The contributions come from the ranks of the famous and not so famous, people at the centre of things and people at the margins, people who live in Ireland and those who live abroad, the Irish and not-Irish-but-interested. Some delve into their personal histories to give meaning to their identities; while others rely on storytelling, humour and lyricism to approach a tentative sense of self.

AMERICAN HISTORY

Kentucky Moonshine By David W. Maurer and Wes Berry A tongue-in-cheek but realistic look at the Kentucky moonshining industry. When the first American tax on distilled spirits was established in 1791, violence broke out in Pennsylvania. The resulting Whiskey Rebellion saw hundreds of families settle anew in Kentucky, where licit and illicit branches of the distilling industry grew up side-by-side in the state. This is the story of the illicit side – the moonshiners' craft and craftsmanship, as practiced in Kentucky. It also includes a glossary of moonshiner argot.

The Knights of the Golden Circle played a major role in starting the Civil War in the United States; most of their documents were destroyed after the war ended as its members feared execution for treason.

War of Supply World War II Allied Logistics in the Mediterranean

By David D. Dworak Explores the vast administrative bureaucracy developed by the Allies and its impact on the war. Throughout World War II, Allied Powers faced a complicated logistical challenge: how to develop a support network that could supply and maintain a vast military force. The need to keep tanks rolling, airplanes flying, and food and aid in continuous supply was paramount to defeating the Nazi regime. David Dworak takes readers behind the scenes and breaks down the nuances of strategic operations for each of the great Mediterranean military campaigns between 1942 and 1945.

A Strange Whim of the Sea The Wreck of the USS Macaw

By Tim Loughman The story of the USS Macaw and its dramatic end. On January 16, 1944, the submarine rescue vessel USS Macaw (ASR-11) ran aground at Midway Atoll while attempting to get a towing line to the stranded submarine USS Flier (SS-250). The Flier was pulled free six days later, but another three weeks of salvage efforts, plagued by rough seas and equipment problems, failed to dislodge the Macaw. Then on Saturday, February 12th, amid an episode of freakishly enormous waves, the sea accomplished that task, nudging the ship from her perch backward into deeper water. As night fell and the ship slowly sank, the 22 men on board sought refuge in the pilot house. By about 0230 Sunday, that compartment having flooded almost entirely, Burton gave the order to open the portside door and make for the foremast. Five of the men, including Burton himself, died, as did three sailors from the base at Midway in a pair of unauthorised and effectively suicidal rescue attempts that morning. Drawing on contemporaneous written statements by survivors of that night and interviews conducted over a span of 30 years, this book traces the lives of the Macaw and her enigmatic captain, from birth on San Francisco Bay to death at Midway. It tells a war story short on combat but not on drama, a wartime tragedy in which the conflict is more interpersonal, and perhaps intrapersonal, than international. Ultimately, for Paul Burton and the Macaw the real enemy was the sea, and in a deadly denouement told here in riveting detail, the sea won. Highlighting the underreported role auxiliary vessels played in the war, this book is for the military historian and lay reader alike with the previously untold story it tells of struggle, sacrifice, death and survival in the Pacific in World War II.

By Charles Caramello A thorough examination of the evolution of horsemanship and cavalry over the centuries. Melding together history and historiography, Caramello follows how the debate between 'art and utility' in horsemanship caused a shift from the formal – equitation and manège dressage – to the practical, namely mounted warfare. He also addresses the advent of mechanised warfare that led to the end of horse cavalry. Caramello engages with primary and secondary texts on horsemanship, discussing the ways these works shaped horsemanship and calvary practices both in in their own time and throughout history.

Never Say Die A Kentucky Colt, the Epsom Derby, and the Rise of the Modern Thoroughbred Industry

By James C. Nicholson and Pete Best The story of a horse, a race, and a whole host of influential people they brought together. A quarter of a million people braved miserable conditions at Epsom Downs on June 2nd, 1954, to see the 175th running of the prestigious Derby Stakes. Queen Elizabeth II and Sir Winston Churchill were in attendance, along with thousands of Britons who were all convinced of the unfailing superiority of English bloodstock and eager to see a British colt take the victory. They were shocked when a Kentuckyborn chestnut named Never Say Die galloped to a two-length triumph at odds of 33-1, winning Britain's greatest race and beginning an important shift in the world of Thoroughbred racing. Never Say Die traces the history of this extraordinary colt, beginning with his foaling in Lexington, Kentucky, when a shot of bourbon whiskey revived him and earned him his name. Author James C. Nicholson also tells the stories of the influential individuals brought together by the horse and his victory – from the heir to the Singer sewing machine fortune to the Aga Khan. Most fascinating is the tale of Mona Best of Liverpool, England, whose well-placed bet on the long-shot Derby contender allowed her to open the Casbah Coffee Club. There, her son met musicians John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison and later joined their band. Featuring a foreword by the original drummer for the Beatles, Pete Best, this remarkable book reveals how an underdog's surprise victory played a part in the formation of the most successful and influential rock band in history and made the Bluegrass region of Kentucky the centre of the international Thoroughbred industry.

Struggles over racism penetrated every aspect of sporting interaction between Australia and South Africa.

Met Her on the Mountain The Murder of Nancy Morgan

By Mark I. Pinsky An exhaustive piece of investigative journalism in search of the truth. In June 1970, the body of 24-year-old Nancy Morgan was found inside a government-owned car in Madison County, North Carolina. The investigation was thwarted by inept police work, jurisdictional confusion, and local corruption. 14 years passed before an arrest was made, but even then, a pall was cast over the veracity of the evidence. In an exhaustive piece of investigative journalism, Pinsky dissects this modern Southern Gothic tale and suggests that the truth of Morgan's murder is within reach.

The Winning Tickets Uncovering America’s Biggest Lottery Scam

By Rob Sandhaus Follows the true-crime investigation of how America's largest lottery-rigging scam was uncovered and prosecuted. The Winning Tickets is an inside look at one of the most complicated yet seat-of-your-pants financial crimes in recent history. Rob Sand, the youngest attorney in his office, was assigned a new case by his boss, who was days away from retirement. Inside the thin accordion binder Sand received was meagre evidence regarding a suspicious lottery ticket, gathered over the course of two years by Iowa authorities. No one expected the case to go anywhere. No dead body, no shots fired, and no money paid out. Why should they care? There was no certainty that a crime had even been committed. But a mysterious Belizean trust had attempted to claim the $16 million ticket, then decided to forgo the money and maintain anonymity when the State of Iowa demanded to know who had purchased the ticket. Who values anonymity over that much money? Both a story of small-town America and a true-crime saga about the largest lottery-rigging scheme in American history, The Winning Tickets follows the investigation all the way down the rabbit hole to uncover how Eddie Tipton was able to cheat the system to win jackpots over $16 million and go more than a decade without being caught – until Sand inherited the case. Just as remarkable as the crime are the real-life characters met along the way: an honest fireworks salesman, a hoodwinked FBI agent, a crooked Texas lawman, a shady attorney representing a Belizean trust, and, yes: Bigfoot hunters. While some of the characters are nearly unbelievable, the everyday themes of integrity and hard work resonate throughout the saga. As the case builds toward a reckoning, The Winning Tickets demonstrates how a new day has dawned in prosecuting complex technological crimes.

THEOLOGY & RELIGION

A Gathering of Spiritual Riches By Tikhon of Zadonsk and Translated by Seraphim Englehardt Weaves together wisdom on how to live a life pleasing to God. As a merchant gathers goods from different countries and carries them home and stores them up, so the Christian may gather edifying thoughts and lay them up in the storeroom of his heart, to enrich his soul. Drawing upon examples from daily life and relationships, St Tikhon weaves together wisdom on how to live a life pleasing to God. His words are embellished by scripture and together these call the reader to repentance and a fuller embrace of godly living.

The Spiritual Roots of the Ecological Crisis By Jean-Claude Larchet and Translated by Archibald Andrew Torrance Explores a Christian approach to climate change and its solution. Many Christians are tempted to dismiss concerns over the environment and the catastrophic effects of climate change. After all, prominent voices who most vociferously warn us about this crisis tend to also advocate a wider worldview antithetical to Christian teachings. Larchet finds the roots of the global ecological crisis in a rejection of a truly Christian cosmology and proposes principles and actions deeply rooted in his Christian ethos that would allow mankind to restore and reinvigorate its relationship with nature.

She Who Loved Much The Sinful Woman in St Ephrem the Syrian and the Orthodox Tradition

By Kevin James Kalish Engages the story of the sinful woman with the living tradition of worship and scriptural interpretation in the Orthodox Church. An in-depth but readable study of the biblical accounts of the sinful woman elaborated through both the liturgical and oratorical tradition of the Church, as found primarily in Greek and Syriac manuscripts, with particular attention given to the former texts, too often overshadowed by the latter. Previously inaccessible texts of late antiquity, such as homilies by Amphilochius of Iconium and Ephrem Graecus, are found here in English for the first time, together with fresh English renderings of other sermons.

A Little Less than Angels Sketch of a Biblical Anthropology

By Maurice Hogan An introduction and guide through the complexity of the biblical narrative. The Bible provides answers to fundamental questions about life and death that people have always been asking. Biblical symbolism still has a powerful appeal even today to change lives, to give reasons for living and dying and a solid hope for a future worthy of human beings. A Little Less than Angels serves as an introduction and guide through the complexity of the biblical narrative as readers endeavour to re-enact in their own lives the experiences contained therein.

Every Bush Aflame By John Feehan Argues that those whose lives are directed by the spiritual perspective should be the most motivated to respond to the current environmental crisis. The theme that echoes most frequently through Laudato Si', Pope Francis' landmark publication on the environment is the central role of biodiversity in creation spirituality. Every Bush Aflame is an extended reflection on this theme, exploring the origins of biodiversity in Christian theology, its roots in our growing scientific understanding of the true nature and scale of life’s complexity and diversity, and the implications of all this for the kind of Christian response called for in Laudato Si'.

Master, the One you Love is Ill Reflections on Illness and Caring for the Sick

By Eamonn P. Bourke Simple reflections gently guide the reader to Lord Jesus who seeks out the lost, the lonely, and the ill. Illness is one of the most challenging and disturbing experiences for any person. It can shake us to the very core and make us question everything we hold dear. Prayer that might have flowed so easily when we were well can, in times of illness, feel impossible. This book explores what it means to pray as you can, using the resources that you have, at a time when the closeness of God is needed more than ever.

Time to Call Home By Hugh O'Donnell With recourse to poetry, scripture, art and music, Hugh O’Donnell takes the reader on an awesome ecological journey. Time to Call Home is a collection of short meditations inspired by Laudato Si’, Pope Francis’ landmark encyclical letter on climate change, that encourages the reader to take courage in the face of adversity and to ponder the astonishing gift of the natural world.
