The Last Man
Little more than seventy years after the British settled Van Diemen's Land (later Tasmania) in 1803, the indigenous community had been virtually wiped out. Yet this genocide at the hands of the British is virtually forgotten today. The Last Man is the first book specifically to explore the role of the British government and wider British society in this genocide. It positions the destruction as a consequence of British policy, and ideology in the region. Tom Lawson shows how Britain practised cultural destruction and then came to terms with and evaded its genocidal imperial past. Although the introduction of European diseases undoubtedly contributed to the decline in the indigenous populatio...
Building Aerodynamics
This book starts, by explaining briefly the origins of wind. It then proceeds to the normal forms of presentation for wind data, and explains how each is used in the appropriate analysis. The general aerodynamics of bluff bodies is explained in Chapter 2.Wind loading, wind environment, rain, ventilation, fire and effluent from chimneys are considered in the following chapters. Experimental methods are discussed in the penultimate chapter. Up to this point, theory and practice are discussed, and no design data are presented.Necessary statistics insofar as they concern the earlier chapter material are presented in the last chapter. This is not a theoretical study, but simply pointing the reader to the appropriate statistical technique and presents the relevant expressions.
Debates on the Holocaust
Debates on the Holocaust is the first attempt to survey the development of Holocaust historiography for a generation. It analyses the development of history writing on the destruction of the European Jews from just before the end of the Second World War to the present day, and argues forcefully that history writing is as much about the present as it is the past. The book guides the reader through the major debates in Holocaust historiography and shows how all of these controversies are as much products of their own time as they are attempts to uncover the past. Debates on the Holocaust will appeal to sixth form and undergraduate students and their teachers, Holocaust historians and anyone interested in either the destruction of the European Jews or in the process by which we access and understand the past.
World Peace
"World Peace", is the fourth novel in the Tom Lawson series. With world order having changed significantly after missile strikes killed the presidents and senior staff of the U.S., China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran, Justin Stephen, the newly elected president of the United, has asked Tom Lawson to join his administration. A once in a lifetime opportunity, the newly elected U.S. president is determined to seize the day, to convince the new leaders of Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran to join the U.S. in establishing a treaty that embraces cooperation, inclusion, and peaceful coexistence. A lofty and unlikely objective in normal times, President Stephen believed his objective was within reach with Lawson joining his team, knowing that somehow Lawson knew the true reason why the missiles launched from U.S. nuclear subs could not be stopped.

This time events that could le...
The Palgrave Handbook of Britain and the Holocaust
This handbook is the most comprehensive and up-to-date single volume on the history and memory of the Holocaust in Britain.

Through this process the handbook not only updates existing historiography of Britain and the Holocaust; it also adds new dimensions to our understanding by exploring the constant interface and interplay of history and memory. The chapters bring together internationally renowned academics and talented young...
