Peter Cain
This is the first comprehensive monograph on the American painter, Peter Cain (1959-1997), who first achieved recognition in the early 1990's in New York for his paintings of distorted automobiles. The book features paintings, drawings and photographs made between the late 1980's and 1997.
Percy the Parrot
Whether in the bar, the restaurant or with friends, I was regularly being asked to tell my stories about Percy, the African Gray parrot that I once had the pleasure to own. I was only too pleased to divulge my many humorous recollections of this intelligent little bird who was not only very clever but also devious, mischievous and sometimes destructive. To me he was always a loveable rogue. I found myself remembering other creatures, great and small, which I had encountered. More often than not, these memories are amusing now, although at the time may not have been so comical. The results being that there are many different accounts and experiences which I have been fortunate to have and are included in this book. These range from my encounters with budgerigars and other birds, to mice and elephants. There are some fishy tales as well!

Sons of Cain
From the author of Serial Killers: The Method and Madness of Monsters comes an in-depth examination of sexual serial killers throughout human history, how they evolved, and why we are drawn to their horrifying crimes. Before the term was coined in 1981, there were no "serial killers." There were only "monsters"--killers society first understood as werewolves, vampires, ghouls and witches or, later, Hitchcockian psychos. In Sons of Cain--a book that fills the gap between dry academic studies and sensationalized true crime--investigative historian Peter Vronsky examines our understanding of serial killing from its prehistoric anthropological evolutionary dimensions in the pre-civilization era ...

The debate on the rise of the British Empire
This fascinating and highly useful book examines the rise of the British empire and the various debates among historians of imperialism over the past two hundred years. It discusses why the empire is so attractive to historians, why there is so much debate and controversy surrounding the subject, and how different generations of historians have read the various episodes in the history of the empire often radically differently. Chapters look at the enduring fascination with the empire among historians; early twentieth century economic explanations for the dynamic expansion of the empire in the Victorian period; the controversies surrounding empire in the 1950s; post colonial theory and its critics; religion, race, gender and class; and debates on capitalism and the empire since the 1980. The final chapter investigates how Britain’s imperial history might be viewed in years to come. An engaging and useful work of historiography, this book will be essential reading for students of British imperialism attempting to get to grips with the subject.
Britain and World War One
The First World War appears as a fault line in Britain’s twentieth-century history. Between August 1914 and November 1918 the titanic struggle against Imperial Germany and her allies consumed more people, more money and more resources than any other conflict Britain had hitherto experienced. For the first time, it opened up a Home Front that stretched into all parts of the British polity, society and culture, touching the lives of every citizen regardless of age, gender and class. Even vegetables were grown in the gardens of Buckingham Palace. Britain and World War One throws attention on these civilians who fought the war on the Home Front. Harnessing recent scholarship, and drawing on or...
