The Gentleman
When Ronald Scott is abandoned by his mother, and left in a boarding school, he is an out-of-control child. A new P.E. teacher arrives and takes Ronald under his wing, only to groom and train him to become an expert in unarmed combat. Craig Tankville – head of MI5 – also has an interest in Ronald.

Can the teacher and head of MI5 hone Ronald’s skills for their own means, or will Ronald always have his own agenda?
Wronged
Why is being a victim such a potent identity today? Who claims to be a victim, and why? How have such claims changed in the past century? Who benefits and who loses from the struggles over victimhood in public culture? In this timely and incisive book, Lilie Chouliaraki shows how claiming victimhood is about claiming power: who deserves to be protected as a victim and who should be punished as a perpetrator.

Authors Marisa Cleveland and Simon Cleveland draw on their combined forty years of expe...

Being and Reason
In Spinoza's metaphysics there is only one substance, God or nature. Martin Lin offers a new interpretation, arguing against idealist readings where the metaphysical is grounded in something epistemic, logical, or psychological. In Lin's realist interpretation, finite natural creatures stand to God or nature as waves stand to an ocean.
