Odeon Relics
Between 1928 and 1939, Oscar Deutsch wowed the British public with one of the most extraordinary estates of Streamline Moderne cinemas ever built ? he named them Odeons; alluring neon-clad beacons of escapism, glamour and affordable luxury during a period of depression and rising international tensions. However, faced with growing challenges, in a rapidly changing society increasingly captivated by television and home entertainment, many of these huge structures struggled to remain viable. Despite being recognised as architecturally important now, countless former Odeons have long since met with the wrecking ball, whilst others continue to fight for survival.
General Butler
Pope John Paul II has canonized more than 1,700 saints during his pontificate, leading some to criticize him as a "saint-making machine." Yet, perhaps John Paul realizes something that many of us have forgotten not only that our own goal should be sainthood, but also that we may require the inspiration of these Christian faithful to live out our own faith in the 21st century. In this collection of stories, readers will be introduced to a variety of familiar and unfamiliar saints canonized during the Great Jubilee Year 2000. They include inspiring stories from nearly every continent, including Francisco and Jacinta Marto of Fatima, 120 Chinese Martyrs, Sister Faustina Kowalska, Sister Katharine Drexel, 25 Mexican Martyrs and many more 164 in all. They include remarkable stories of children and adults, men and women, religious and lay people striving to live in holiness.

The Cult of Elizabeth
No other woman in world history has been of such compulsive interest as Elizabeth Tudor. While the rest of the 16th-century Europe was subject to the bloodshed of religious war, Tudor peace brought England its great flowering of the arts. Central to that flowering was the enigmatic legend of the Queen herself, a myth deliberately created and sustained over four decades by public spectacle and courtly chivalry, by private sonnet and official oration.
The Four Just Men
A device in Parliament's members' smokeroom and a sudden magnesium flash leaves Scotland Yard baffled. Even Fleet Street cannot identify the illusive Manfred, Gonsalez, Pioccart and Thery - FOUR JUST MEN dedicated to punishing by death those whom conventional justice cannot touch.
Critical Black Futures
Critical Black Futures imagines worlds, afrofutures, cities, bodies, art and eras that are simultaneously distant, parallel, present, counter, and perpetually materializing. From an exploration of W. E. B. Du Bois’ own afrofuturistic short stories, to trans* super fluid blackness, this volume challenges readers—community leaders, academics, communities, and creatives—to push further into surreal imaginations. Beyond what some might question as the absurd, this book is presented as a speculative space that looks deeply into the foundations of human belief. Diving deep into this notional rabbit hole, each contributor offers a thorough excursion into the imagination to discover ‘what was’, while also providing tools to push further into the ‘not yet’.
