A Familiar Rain

The sudden death of his wife pushes Alex Hemmer, a young neuroscience researcher, to press ahead with his attempts to relive past events. In a startling breakthrough, he synthesises a bacterial toxin that is a bona fide memory drug. By administering the substance in conjunction with electric needling of key areas of the brain, test subjects are able to relive past events. Besides the enormous benefits to mankind, the implications of this research for Alex himself are obvious-it is now possible for him to return to the life he thought lost forever and spend his future living and loving Laura. While Alex ponders the possibilities, shadowy forces have been at work infiltrating the project with the aim of taking over his research. To add to his problems, Alex has fallen in love with Abbey, his colleague and Laura's best friend.

Highway to Hell

'Anyone entering Iraq must travel the road from Amman to Baghdad along the Fallujah by-pass and around the Ramadi Ring Road. It's the most dangerous trunk route in the world used as a personal, fairground shooting gallery by insurgents and Islamists with rocket propelled grenades and Kalashnikovs. For newcomers to the country it's terrifying -- but hell only really begins when that first journey ends''Present-day Iraq- a crucible of torture, chemical warfare and Islamic terrorism, and straddling over it all the mighty US Army and its allies; but there's another western army in Iraq that dwarfs the British contingent and is second only in size to the US Army itself.It's a disparate and anarch...

Debating the Faith: Religion and Letter Writing in Great Britain, 1550-1800

The first book to address the role of correspondence in the study of religion, Debating the Faith: Religion and Letter Writing in Great Britain, 1550-1800 shows how letters shaped religious debate in early-modern and Enlightenment Britain, and discusses the materiality of the letters as well as questions of form and genre. Particular attention is paid to the contexts in which letters were composed, sent, read, distributed, and then destroyed, copied or printed, in periods of religious tolerance or persecution. The opening section, ‘Protestant identities’, examines the importance of letters in the shaping of British protestantism from the underground correspondence of Protestant martyrs in the reign of Mary I to dissident letters after the Act of Toleration. ‘Representations of British Catholicism’, explores the way English, Irish and Scottish Catholics, whether in exile or at home, defined their faith, established epistolary networks, and addressed political and religious allegiances in the face of adversity. The last part, ‘Religion, science and philosophy’, focuses on the religious content of correspondence between natural scientists and philosophers.​

Envisioning Sociology

Envisioning Sociology is a landmark work, the first major study of the founding of sociology in Britain and the enormous contributions made by the intellectual circle led by Victor Branford and Patrick Geddes.

Fit

Why architecture matters—and how to make it matter more Fit is a book about architecture and society that seeks to fundamentally change how architects and the public think about the task of design. Distinguished architect and urbanist Robert Geddes argues that buildings, landscapes, and cities should be designed to fit: fit the purpose, fit the place, fit future possibilities. Fit replaces old paradigms, such as form follows function, and less is more, by recognizing that the relationship between architecture and society is a true dialogue—dynamic, complex, and, if carried out with knowledge and skill, richly rewarding. With a tip of the hat to John Dewey, Fit explores architecture as we...
