Unmapped Darkness
In recent years, the Vatican Secret Archives has declassified and disclosed the bulk of its once-private catalogue. Buried within was a journal. More than a century old, its entries had been written in a wide variety of languages, and it had been filed away as an oddity with little historical value. Meticulously studied and translated by Dr Anthony Waterman, a scholar of Western Esotericism, it told of a journey which crossed continents in pursuit of an obsession. Presented here is the personal account of the explorer Laurent Leroux - The Red Raider - and his lifelong search for the fabled Starless Citadel: Nástur
PYRE
Leon's panic stricken eyes locked on hers, wide and full of fear. "I killed her", he confessed in stunted gasps. "In the crematorium. Ten years ago". The meaning of his words began to dawn on her, and she pulled backwards slowly. "Leon", she asked in an overly-calm voice. "What did you do?" He gan to break down in tears. "I killed her," he wept. "Burned her up. I had to. She attacked me. She couldn't have been alive. She wasn't alive". Leon's mind was slowly surfacing back to reality, and his sentences took more form. "I was doing an autopsy. On a girl. Sexual assault victim. She was...mulitated, terribly. I was halfway through the autopsy, when she.." Leon began to cough heavily, starving himself of oxygen. "She came alive". Impossibly. She attacked me. She would have killed me". He began sobbing heavily again. "She's still trying to".

UNRWA and Palestinian Refugees
Exploring the evolution of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), this book fills a lacuna in literature on the agency. UNRWA and Palestinian Refugees employs recent fieldwork in order to analyse challenges in programmes and service delivery, protection, camp governance, community participation, and camp improvement and reconstruction. The chapters examine the way UNRWA is adapting to a changing social, political and economic context, mostly within urban settings – a paradigmatic shift from understanding the Agency’s role as simply a provider of relief and services to one comprehensively supporting the human development of Palestinian refugees. Examining the refugee debate using new disciplines and research frameworks, this collection aims to emphasise the centrality of the Palestinian refugee issue for Middle East peace-making and to contribute a better understanding of a unique agency. This book will be a useful aid for students and researchers with an interest in Middle East Studies, Politics, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Florentine Patricians and Their Networks
In Florentine Patricians and Their Networks, Elisa Goudriaan presents the first comprehensive overview of the cultural world and diplomatic strategies of Florentine patricians in the seventeenth century and the ways in which they contributed as a group to the court culture of the Medici. The author focuses on the patricians’ musical, theatrical, literary, and artistic pursuits, and uses these to show how politics, social life, and cultural activities tended to merge in early modern society. Quotations from many archival sources, mainly correspondence, make this book a lively reading experience and offer a new perspective on seventeenth-century Florentine society by revealing the mechanisms behind elite patronage networks, cultural input, recruiting processes, and brokerage activities.
