Blood on the Mississippi
When Maria and Clay leave Rio De Sangre one jump ahead of a deadly order of holy warriors, they must strike east to buy each day anew by their wits and the strength of their bond. A sinister band of vampire hunters stalk them up and down the Mississippi, led by an ancient being of immeasurable power. A honeymoon spent on the dodge is no easy thing for the newlyweds, but Maria's growing thirst for blood presents problems all their own. Our hero and heroine find themselves with a mysterious invitation to the most exclusive card game in the world. Clay will need to use every trick he's ever learned in a smoky saloon or on the hoot-owl trail to take the pot, and going bust is not an option.

British Pakistanis and Desistance
Focusing on the lives of first and second generation British Pakistani young adult men and those approaching middle age, who offend or have offended, and the experiences of their fathers bringing them up in a de-industrialised city, this book examines the influence of social relations on their moves toward and away from crime, particularly the impact of father-son relationships.

New Directions in Race, Ethnicity and Crime
The disproportionate criminalisation and incarceration of particular minority ethnic groups has long been observed, though much of the work in criminology has been dominated by a somewhat narrow debate. This debate has concerned itself with explaining this disproportionality in terms of structural inequalities and socio-economic disadvantage or discriminatory criminal justice processing. This book offers an accessible and innovative approach, including chapters on anti-Semitism, social cohesion in London, Bradford and Glasgow, as well as an exploration of policing Traveller communities. Incorporating current empirical research and new departures in methodology and theory, this book also draws on a range of contemporary issues such as policing terrorism, immigration detention and youth gangs. In offering minority perspectives on race, crime and justice and white inmate perspectives from the multicultural prison, the book emphasises contrasting and distinctive influences on constructing ethnic identities. It will be of interest to students studying courses in ethnicity, crime and justice.
Tools and the Organism
The first book to show how the concept of bodily organs emerged and how ancient tools influenced conceptualizations of human anatomy and its operations. Medicine is itself a type of technology, involving therapeutic tools and substances, and so one can write the history of medicine as the application of different technologies to the human body. In Tools and the Organism, Colin Webster argues that, throughout antiquity, these tools were crucial to broader theoretical shifts. Notions changed about what type of object a body is, what substances constitute its essential nature, and how its parts interact. By following these changes and taking the question of technology into the heart of Greek an...
