The Enemy Within

Indeed the majority of the population still got their living from burn-beating agriculture.

In searching for answers, the authors, while being open to theories and concepts presented in international research, stay close to the documentarysources with their narratives of bloody quarrels, illicit sex, and stolen timber.
A History of Murder
This book offers a fascinating and insightful overview of seven centuries of murder in Europe. It tells the story of the changing face of violence and documents the long-term decline in the incidence of homicide. From medieval vendettas to stylised duels, from the crime passionel of the modern period right up to recent public anxieties about serial killings and underworld assassinations, the book offers a richly illustrated account of murder’s metamorphoses.
