Aggressive and Violent Peasant Elites in the Nordic Countries, C. 1500-1700
This book investigates the forms that the aggression and violence of peasant elites could take in early modern Fennoscandia, and their role within society. The contributors highlight the social stratification, inner divisions, contradictions and conflicts of the peasant communities, but also pay attention to the elite as leaders of resistance against the authorities. With the formation of more centralised states, the elites’ status and room for agency diminished, but regional and temporal variations were great in this relatively drawn-out process, and there still remained several favourable contexts for their agency. Even though the peasant elite was not a homogenous entity, the chapters in this collection present us one uniting feature – the peasant elites’ tendency to assert themselves with an active and aggressive agency, even if this led to very different outcomes.
Battle and Bloodshed
This collection of articles is the result of an interdisciplinary Medieval Studies conference held at the University of Sheffield in 2009. Brutality and aggression were a stark reality of everyday life in the Middle Ages; from individual rebellions through family feuds to epic wars, a history of medieval warfare could easily be read as a history of medieval violence. This volume goes beyond such an analysis by illustrating just how pervasive the nature of war could be, influencing not only medieval historiography and chronicle tradition, but also other disciplines such as art, architecture, literature and law. The overarching and multi-faceted themes bring together both iconic aspects of medieval warfare such as armour and the Crusades, as well as taking in the richness of textual traditions and matters of crucial importance at the time—the justification for war and the means by which peace can be re-established.

Peasants and Soldiers
This book analyzes the organization of the Venetian military structure in the Mainland Dominion in the Early Modern Period, particularly from the point of view of the everyday management of the army by rural communities. It explains the evolution of the Venetian military structure using an economic perspective, underlining that the military needs of the Republic had to be constantly moderated by the economic effects of the military requests on the local rural economy, but also considering the economic opportunities coming from military contracts.

Trustworthy Men
The medieval church was founded on and governed by concepts of faith and trust--but not in the way that is popularly assumed. Offering a radical new interpretation of the institutional church and its social consequences in England, Ian Forrest argues that between 1200 and 1500 the ability of bishops to govern depended on the cooperation of local people known as trustworthy men and shows how the combination of inequality and faith helped make the medieval church. Trustworthy men (in Latin, viri fidedigni) were jurors, informants, and witnesses who represented their parishes when bishops needed local knowledge or reliable collaborators. Their importance in church courts, at inquests, and durin...

El cost humà de la repressió al País Valencià (1936-1956) (2a edició)
1936-1956. Vint anys i milers de víctimes, que amb la seua desaparició van causar dolor en uns familiars que continuaran patint durant anys les conseqüencies de la repressió; una repressió sobre persones que són acusades de pensar diferent de com ho feien els seus botxins, de creure diferent de com ho feien els seus denunciants, de defensar unes idees, una forma de vida, de treball, diferent de la dels seus contraris. El cost humà de la repressió. Les víctimes de la repressió franquista i republicana s' afegeixen a les morts produïdes en els fronts de guerra o pels bombardejos sobre les ciutats de rereguarda d'una incivil guerra civil. No es tracta d'igualar dues repressions, pero...
