Print Culture, Crime and Justice in 18th-Century London
In the first half of the 18th century there was an explosion in the volume and variety of crime literature published in London. This was a 'golden age of writing about crime', when the older genres of criminal biographies, social policy pamphlets and 'last-dying speeches' were joined by a raft of new publications, including newspapers, periodicals, graphic prints, the Old Bailey Proceedings and the Ordinary's Account of malefactors executed at Tyburn. By the early 18th century propertied Londoners read a wider array of printed texts and images about criminal offenders – highwaymen, housebreakers, murderers, pickpockets and the like – than ever before or since. Print Culture, Crime and Justice in 18th-Century London provides the first detailed study of crime reporting across this range of publications to explore the influence of print upon contemporary perceptions of crime and upon the making of the law and its administration in the metropolis. This historical perspective helps us to rethink the relationship between media, the public sphere and criminal justice policy in the present.

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Ageing
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people often face unique challenges as they grow older. It is vital that those providing them with care and support understand their needs, wishes and experiences. This book demonstrates how biographical approaches can increase understanding about the distinct perspectives of older LGBT people, enhancing inclusive care and support. Chapters explore people's expectations and fears surrounding care and service provision, the impact of discrimination, and specific issues such as HIV, dementia and end-of-life care. The importance of understanding people's whole lives in order to meet their needs is demonstrated, drawing on the examples of community projects that provide services and build networks. The voices of older LGBT people are heard throughout the book through the use of case examples and original research. This insightful book will be essential reading for all those supporting or caring for older LGBT people, as well as students and researchers in the health and social work fields.
The Story of Your Life So Far
Where are you? You open your eyes and quickly survey your surroundings. The light is pouring in through the ceiling to floor windows, light that repels you. Exposed brickwork, a dry swallow, a lick of your lips. You hide, naturally, in the corner of the room. You stay where you are as a cold sweat showers over you. You are reminded of so many weekends that would follow an industrious week at work, that moment when, emerging blinking into the sunlight with her, you instinctively hide your eyes from the world... Another fuzzy reawakening after yet another night spent cauterising your nerve endings, dulling your senses and deadening your soul in a soulless night spot. Your life is a whirlwind of drug-fuelled nights in designer bars wearing designer suits surrounded by designer people with whom you feel no sense of attachment whatsoever, but whose acceptance you are desperate for. In these nocturnal jaunts you accompany your partner in crime - and self-styled Whirlwind of Fun - Stephen Palmerston, desperately trying to fill the gaping void she left in your life.
Orienting of Attention
This book is a succinct introduction to the orienting of attention. Richard Wright and Lawrence Ward describe the covert orienting literature clearly and concisely, illustrating it with numerous high-quality images, specifically designed to make the challenging theoretical concepts very accessible. The book begins with an historical introduction that provides a great deal of information about orienting, much of which will be new even to seasoned researchers. Wright and Ward then systematically describe the development of various experimental paradigms that have been devised to study covert orienting, and the theoretical issues raised by this research. One trend that they analyze in detail is...
Bringing the Word to Life
The New Testament books were written to be read aloud. The original audiences of these texts would have been unfamiliar with our current practice of reading silently and processing with our eyes rather than our ears, so we can learn much about the New Testament through performing it ourselves. Richard Ward and David Trobisch are here to help. Bringing the Word to Life walks the reader through what we know about the culture of performance in the first and second centuries, what it took to perform an early New Testament manuscript, the benefits of performance for teaching, and practical suggestions for exploring New Testament texts through performance today.
Dead Ends to Somewhere
A unique and engrossing autobiography, this is the inspiring story about a Montana farm boy who became a world-renowned virologist and discovered the Rotavirus vaccine, which saves the lives of more than 500,000 children across the world every year. Raised on a ranch, Dick Ward was an unlikely candidate to become an eminent virologist, but his innate competitive spirit helped him redirect what he learned through life to accomplish something deeply important. The myriad mishaps encountered during his search for a meaningful personal, religious, and scientific life provide familiar and often funny—if not uncomfortable—touchstones of one man's journey to a monumental discovery.
