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.

Få dokument har haft så stort inflytande på 1900-talet ändå är det inte många idag som har läst det. Det har avfärdats som ett falsarium sedan andra världskriget. Men stämmer det verkligen? Det finns även skrämmande likheter med Illuminaternas framtidsvisioner, varför ett extra avsnitt har lagts till om dem. Nu finns Sions Vises protokoll i nytryck på svenska igen för första gången sedan 1934.

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.

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.

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.

My desire is to provide a fresh outlook on recovery to help families with addiction problems. Never give up!
L''insomnie, définie comme un manque subjectif de sommeil est un trouble très fréquent, au point d''être devenue un problème de santé publique. Physiologiquement, le sommeil devient moins réparateur avec le vieillissement et les personnes âgées sont très souvent concernées par l''insomnie, sollicitant ainsi leur médecin traitant pour obtenir une ordonnance contenant un médicament hypnotique. Les benzodiazépines à demi-vie courte ou intermédiaire ont longtemps été utilisées comme hypnotiques car leur effet sédatif intervient rapidement. Cependant, elles entraînent de nombreux effets indésirables (dépendance importante et effets résiduels le lendemain de la prise). Ainsi, de nouvelles molécules ont été mises au point, il s''agit des hypnotiques apparentés aux benzodiazépines dont le zolpidem et la zopiclone. Considérés comme plus sûrs d''utilisation que les benzodiazépines, ces derniers ne sont pourtant pas dénués d''effets indésirables, notamment chez les personnes de plus de 65 ans. Des effets négatifs sur la conduite automobile chez des sujets jeunes et âgés ont été mis en évidence dans les études, et l''association avec des substances potentialisant l''effet sédatif n''est pas rare.
'Wisdom and Wonder' is a book of wisdom chapters in two 'Centuries,' an ancient monastic wisdom genre much loved by the desert fathers. For these elders, wonder is the root and crown of wisdom, not only its origin. In these meditations, the mysteries of glorification and deification are explored from within the Orthodox tradition of wisdom and wonder. Priest-monk Silouan lives in the Monastery of St Antony and St Cuthbert, a hermitage within the Romanian jurisdiction of the Orthodox Church, high up in the south-west Shropshire hills. Fr. Silouan lives alone under the Shepherd's rock on the eastern slopes of the Stiperstones, in an old miner's cottage on a small-holding of twenty acres of pasture and woodland. He lives a life of prayer, silence, liturgy and work in the ancient tradition of orthodox monasticism.
The 'Apocalypse of Adam' was discovered among the papyri from the ancient gnostic library at Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in 1946. It is a revelatory discourse that Adam delivers to his son Seth. This discourse is the fifth and final tractate in Nag Hammadi Codex V. The manuscript is now in the Coptic Museum in Old Cairo (codex inv. no. 10548). In Part I of this significant treatment, Hedrick analyzes the sources that lay behind this work, the redaction, and the main theological themes. In Part II, he provides the Coptic text, translation, and notes on the complete text, broken down by Source A, Source B, and the Redactor's additions.
