The Politics of Translation in the Middle Ages and the Rennaissance
The articles in this collection, written by medievalists and Renaissance scholars, are part of the recent "cultural turn" in translation studies, which approaches translation as an activity that is powerfully affected by its socio-political context and the demands of the translating culture. The links made between culture, politics, and translation in these texts highlight the impact of ideological and political forces on cultural transfer in early European thought.

Autobiography
Bertrand Russell remains one of the greatest philosophers and most complex and controversial figures of the twentieth century. Here, in this frank, humorous and decidedly charming autobiography, Russell offers readers the story of his life - introducing the people, events and influences that shaped the man he was to become.

Murder at Winterton Hall
* Previously published as The Cairo Brief* England, 1921. Intrepid reporter Poppy Denby is headed to the English countryside to cover an auction of ancient Egyptian treasures, hosted by renowned explorer Sir James Maddox on his beautiful estate - Winterton Hall. Maddox is auctioning priceless artefacts from his travels, including the death mask of Queen Nefertiti, which is alleged to carry a curse... Poppy is not one to believe in superstition but when an unfortunate 'accident' during the clay-pigeon shooting leaves one of the gun boys badly injured and she finds herself chased while walking the gardens, that's enough for Miss Denby to smell a headline! But when Sir James is found dead it's clear there is more at stake than just a byline. Is someone out to reclaim the ancient treasures, by any means necessary? And if so is anyone at Winterton Hall safe?
Biography as Theology
This minor classic" of the narrative theology movement proposes to use biography as a way of doing theology, rather than using biography to set forth models of exemplary living to inspire the faithful. By looking at the lives of four significant persons (Dag Hammarskjold, Martin Luther King, Jr., Clarence Jordan, and Charles Ives), the author discovers a theology that is adequate to account for the kind of lives these persons lived. This unique approach to theology is applicable to any religion, but the author has chosen to work within his own Christian tradition in this book. The book concludes with suggested methods by which the work of doing theology biographically can be carried further.
