The first documentary study of Aleister Crowley's contemporary followers in North America, told through the life of their de facto leader, Wilfred Talbot Smith (1885-1957). Smith ('Frater 132'), the unacknowledged offspring of a prominent English family, emigrated to Canada where he encountered Charles Stansfeld Jones ('Frater Achad'), and through him, the works of Aleister Crowley ('Baphomet 'and 'Therion').

Measuring research impact and engagement is a much debated topic in the UK and internationally. This book is the first to provide a critical review of the research impact agenda, situating it within international efforts to improve research utilisation. Using empirical data, it discusses research impact tools and processes for key groups such as academics, research funders, ‘knowledge brokers’ and research users, and considers the challenges and consequences of incentivising and rewarding particular articulations of research impact. It draws on wide ranging qualitative data, combined with theories about the science-policy interplay and audit regimes to suggest ways to improve research impact.

Tattooed Love Dogs is a collection of twelve short stories that will transport you to a place you've never been...a place that even your worst nightmares couldn't dream up. Ex-cons, drug addicts, small time drug dealers and a few innocent children inhabit this world that exists all around us...a world that is shoved aside and out of our line of vision. Strippers and burglars cavort in a realm that doesn't make sense but, nonetheless, has a logic all its own. Difficult and sometimes poignant, these stories speak of lives in crisis and the inescapable choices made to rectify them. All of these stories are true and based on the author's experiences and characters he has met on his journey. Names and places have been changed but exist in the dark and unlit streets of the changing psyche and the inescapable profundity of the unconscious.
