London, 1857 – the Lazarus Club. Some of the finest, most-unconventional minds in Victorian Britain – including Charles Darwin, Charles Babbage and Isambard Kingdom Brunel – are members of this illustrious brotherhood. Their meetings take place behind closed doors, their discussions are revolutionary and their conclusions sometimes forbidden... Knowing nothing of this secret society, Dr George Phillips, a young and ambitious surgeon, is intrigued to encounter Brunel over a well-used cadaver in the gory pit of his dissection theatre. It soon becomes apparent that the great engineer has mysterious plans for the good doctor. And so Phillips becomes embroiled in the enigmatic machinations of the Lazarus Club, unaware that in the midst of their unorthodox club, a black conspiracy lurks. Not only is his own life in jeopardy, but as the first mutilated body is washed up on the banks of the Thames so the very foundations of Victorian society are set to be rocked to their core...

This book explores sexual violence and crime in Australia in the 1970s and 1980s, a period of intense social and legal change. Driven by the sexual revolutions, second wave feminism, and ideas of the rights of the child, there was a new public interest in the sexual assault of women and children. Sexual abuse was studied, surveyed and discussed more than ever before in Australian society. Yet, despite this, there remained substantial inaction, by government, from community and on the part of individuals. This book examines several difficult questions of our recent history: why did Australia not act more firmly to eradicate rape and child sexual abuse? What prevented our culture from looking seriously at trauma? How did we fail to protect victim-survivors? Rich in social and legal history, this study takes readers into the world of victims of sexual crime, and into the wider community that had to deal with sexual violence. At the core of this book is the question that resonates deeply right now: why does sexual violence appear seemingly insurmountable, despite significant change?

Profiles every player to represent New South Wales in State of Origin since 1980. The Blues tells the back stories to the 300-plus New South Welshmen who have contested the legendary State of Origin series. This is more than a rugby league book. It's a book about the children of immigrants, military personnel, farmers and factory workers. It's the story of Indigenous kids and boys from the bush who were told they were not good enough. And the story of those seemingly always destined for greatness. Best-author Alan Whiticker delves into the lives and careers of every player to pull on a sky-blue jersey and face the might of the Maroons in league's elite competition. The Blues: NSW's State of Origin Heroes is the companion title to Gelding Street Press's The Maroons by Robert Burgin.

La fantascienza ha cambiato il mondo. A partire dalla fine dell’Ottocento, quando i primi scrittori hanno cominciato a immaginare un futuro dominato dalla macchina, dalle scoperte scientifiche, da vettori capaci di vincere la gravità e viaggiare nello spazio, questa narrativa ha contribuito a costruire il futuro dell’uomo nell’era della tecnica, anticipando invenzioni, scoperte, e mettendo in guardia contro i rischi della meccanizzazione. Ma anche la fantascienza è cambiata. Si è fatta adulta: dai “pulp magazine” da pochi centesimi, attraverso la narrativa d’intrattenimento è approdata alla “Letteratura ufficiale”, quella con la “L” maiuscola, entrando a pieno titolo nelle scuole, nelle università, nelle biblioteche e nelle cineteche; rappresentando, al pari di altre opere della creatività, l’intuizione e la complessità del pensiero umano. Oggi la fantascienza non è solo divertimento, ma anche occasione di conoscenza, critica sociale, riflessione sul futuro dell’uomo. Per avvicinarci a questa innovativa opportunità di “vedere” la realtà con occhi nuovi, consapevoli della sua rilevanza, è necessario andare alle sue radici, non tanto scrivendone la storia, quanto presentandone i temi fondamentali e i luoghi topici sui quali si sono esercitati gli scrittori di fantascienza fino a oggi. Ogni “voce” è autoconclusiva e si legge come un racconto a se stante, aprendo, nel collegamento con altri lemmi, una rete del sapere e dell’immaginario, con un effetto di rimandi e citazioni che incuriosisce e sorprende. A questo volume si è dedicato un gruppo di critici e studiosi, tra i maggiori esperti del settore, raccolti attorno alla rivista IF (Insolito e Fantastico) e coordinati da Carlo Bordoni. Testi di: Claudio Asciuti Carlo Bordoni Domenico Gallo Riccardo Gramantieri Giuseppe Panella Gian Filippo Pizzo. Una summa ragionata che non ha precedenti in Italia Un’enciclopedia tematica per lemmi dall’Ottocento a oggi Una raccolta degli autori più significativi di sempre Una guida agli autori italiani Curiosità, approfondimenti, incursioni nel cinema e altri media

This book is the first to focus specifically upon the relationship between refugees and intercultural transfer over an extensive period of time. Since circa 1830, a series of groups have made their way to Britain, beginning with exiles from the failed European revolutions of the mid-nineteenth century and ending with refugees who have increasingly come from beyond Europe. The book addresses four specific questions. First, what roles have individuals or groups of refugees played in cultural and political transfers to Britain since 1830? Second, can we identify a novel form of cultural production which differs from that in the homeland? Third, to what extent has dissemination within and transformation of the receiving culture occurred? Fourth, to what extent do refugee groups, themselves, undergo a process of cultural restructuring? The coverage of the individual essays ranges from high culture, through politics and everyday practices. The volume moves away from general perceptions of refugees as ‘problem groups’ and rather focuses on the way they have shaped, and indeed enriched, British cultural and political life. This book was previously published as a special issue of Immigrants and Minorities.
