Eve & The City of Yule
In the world of Terre, the descendants of the winter god Boreas, the Saints of Noël, protected the Source of Yule — an entity incarnating solace, renewal, and rapture. The ensuing bloodline were champions of goodwill and peace; their annual signature celebration known as Conveyance across the lands. Boreas' soul resided in the principal Saint, Nicholas Kringle I, and every son and grandson that succeeded him to the throne was known as the Saint of Cheer, or "Santa Claus" — Conveyance's icon, and a heart full of light. But with every trace of light, there is darkness. Eve Alcazar grew up without a smile. Curiosity as to why leads to an adventure she had never anticipated. Tasked to intercept winter demon Krampus' quest for the Source of Yule, Eve makes a perilous journey across the nation of Polaris with her cousin, Nick, and best friend, Desiree. But to succeed, she must accept her identity as both the once-concealed granddaughter of the current Saint of Cheer... and the muse of the King of Misery himself.

The Politics of Representation
Electoral and parliamentary arenas play a crucial role in the configuration and dynamics of modern polities. This book explores the practices of citizenship and unveils the fabric of representation in the Iberian countries, during a significant period of liberal politics, that is, from its apogee to its collapse (from the 1870s to the 1920s). Part One examines the evolution of electoral norms and behaviour, as well as the recruitment profile of MPs. Portugal and Spain share fundamental features, such as the extensive clientelistic mobilisation of voters, the dissemination of fraud and corruption, the supremacy of governmental parties and the prevalence of the politics of notables. Part Two f...

The Franco Regime, 1936–1975
The history of modern Spain is dominated by the figure of Francisco Franco, who presided over one of the longest authoritarian regimes of the twentieth century. Between 1936 and the end of the regime in 1975, Franco’s Spain passed through several distinct phases of political, institutional, and economic development, moving from the original semi-fascist regime of 1936–45 to become the Catholic corporatist “organic democracy” under the monarchy from 1945 to 1957. Distinguished historian Stanley G. Payne offers deep insight into the career of this complex and formidable figure and the enormous changes that shaped Spanish history during his regime.
Testing for Athlete Citizenship
Incidents of doping in sports are common in news headlines, despite regulatory efforts. How did doping become a crisis? What does a doping violation actually entail? Who gets punished for breaking the rules of fair play? In Testing for Athlete Citizenship, Kathryn E. Henne, a former competitive athlete and an expert in the law and science of anti-doping regulations, examines the development of rules aimed at controlling performance enhancement in international sports. As international and celebrated figures, athletes are powerful symbols, yet few spectators realize that a global regulatory network is in place in an attempt to ensure ideals of fair play. The athletes caught and punished for d...
