The author argues that if Christians still believe they have have good news in the sphere of sexual ethics, then we must work out what has gone badly wrong, and offer a better story, one that fires the imagination with such force that people will say, 'I want that to be true.'

The Battle of Culloden has gone down in history as the last major battle fought on British soil: a vicious confrontation between Scottish forces supporting the Stuart claim to the throne and the English Royal Army. But this wasn't just a conflict between the Scots and the English, the battle was also part of a much larger campaign to protect the British Isles from the growing threat of a French invasion. In Trevor Royle's vivid and evocative narrative, we are drawn into the ranks, on both sides, alongside doomed Jacobites fighting fellow Scots dressed in the red coats of the Duke of Cumberland's Royal Army. And we meet the Duke himself, a skilled warrior who would gain notoriety due to the reprisals on Highland clans in the battle's aftermath. Royle also takes us beyond the battle as the men of the Royal Army, galvanized by its success at Culloden, expand dramatically and start to fight campaigns overseas in America and India in order to secure British interests; we see the revolutionary use of fighting techniques first implemented at Culloden; and the creation of professional fighting forces. Culloden changed the course of British history by ending all hope of the Stuarts reclaiming the throne, cementing Hanoverian rule and forming the bedrock for the creation of the British Empire. Royle's lively and provocative history looks afresh at the period and unveils its true significance, not only as the end of a struggle for the throne but the beginning of a new global power.

The English reader has now, in the first three volumes of this Library, a complete collection of the historical writings of the Fathers, whose permanent value, as sources, is universally acknowledged. Several of them have never before appeared in English. The unavoidable delay in the publication of the third volume has been very annoying to the general editors and publishers, but the subscribers will be amply compensated by the addition of the writings of Rufinus, which were not promised in the prospectus. It is encouraging that this difficult and costly enterprise is beginning to be duly appreciated by competent judges on both sides of the Atlantic.

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is one of the most important sets of historical documents concerning the history of the British Isles. Without these vital accounts we would have virtually no knowledge of some of the key events in the history of these islands during the dark ages and it would be impossible to write the history of the English from the Romans to the Norman Conquest. The history it tells is not only that witnessed by its compilers, but also that recorded by earlier annalists, whose work is in many cases preserved nowhere else. At present there are nine known versions or fragments of the original 'Anglo-Saxon Chronicle' in existence. All of the extant versions vary (sometimes greatly) in content and quality, and crucially all of the surviving manuscripts are copies, so it is not known for certain where or when the first version of the Chronicle was composed. The translation that has been used for this edition is not a translation of any one Chronicle; rather, it is a conflation of readings from many different versions containing primarily the translation of Rev. James Ingram from 1828. The footnotes are all those of Rev. Ingram and are supplied for the sake of completeness. This edition also includes the complete Parker Manuscript. The book is illustrated throughout with paintings and engravings.

How does it feel to be constantly regardedas a potential threat, strip-searched at every airport?Or to be told that, as an actress, the partyou're most fitted to play is 'wife of a terrorist'? How does it feel to havewords from your native language misused, misappropriated and used aggressivelytowards you? How does it feel to hear a child of colour say in a classroom thatstories can only be about white people? How does it feel to go 'home' to Indiawhen your home is really London? What is it like to feel you always have to bean ambassador for your race? How does it feel to always tick 'Other'?Bringing together 21 exciting black, Asianand minority ethnic voices emerging in Britain today, The Good Immigrant explores why immigrants come to the UK, why theystay and what it means to be 'other' in a country that doesn't seem to wantyou, doesn't truly accept you-however many generations you've been here-but stillneeds you for its diversity monitoring forms.Inspired by discussion around why societyappears to deem people of colour as bad immigrants-job stealers, benefitscroungers, undeserving refugees-until, by winning Olympic races, or bakinggood cakes, or being conscientious doctors, they cross over and become goodimmigrants, editor Nikesh Shukla has compiled a collection of essays that arepoignant, challenging, angry, humorous, heartbreaking, polemic, weary and-most importantly-real.

A "Near-Death Experience" is a true story highlighting one man's human life experience. It shows the results of how we might handle the voids and losses in our lives. It takes a raw look at our addictive behaviors; drugs, alcohol, sex, anger, depression, suicide, peer pressure and how hurting others can fill the emptiness created by loss. It is a good read for parents to help understand their children's behavior. It can also help people who have some type of addict in their lives and for the addict still suffering. This is a story about living, loving, failing and ultimate recovery. It includes intervention from Angels and demons. It will bring tears to your eyes, when reading a real suicide letter, and will also make you shudder from the sound of the life saving Voice yelling "Put your seatbelt on!" A graphic description of two "near-death" experiences, are included. Once I died and saw Heaven. The second time I died and saw hell. This is an "R- rated" story with a great "PG" dramatic ending.
