La ETA, una organización terrorista sin parangón en Europa, dejó un reguero de viudas, huérfanos, hermanos y amigas no solo desconsolados por unas muertes dramáticas, sino vilipendiados por una sociedad cruel, aterrorizada y, en muchos casos, cómplice que no supo o quiso mostrar el más elemental rasgo de piedad o empatía con unas víctimas cuyo único delito era su parentesco con quienes la organización terrorista había puesto en una diana antes de dispararles con un arma.

The life of Theodor Herzl (1860–1904) was as puzzling as it was brief. How did this cosmopolitan and assimilated European Jew become the leader of the Zionist movement? How could he be both an artist and a statesman, a rationalist and an aesthete, a stern moralist yet possessed of deep, and at times dark, passions? And why did scores of thousands of Jews, many of them from traditional, observant backgrounds, embrace Herzl as their leader?

What if Norse Paganism wasn’t myth—but a living tradition of gods, rituals, and magick still holding power today? For centuries, Norse Paganism was dismissed as legend. But the truth is far richer: a spiritual path of deities, runes, and rituals that shaped the Viking world—and still inspires and transforms today.

Of the many campaigns during the Middle Ages, few are as remarkable or seemingly impossible to win at the start as the First Crusade (1095-99), and the true crowning achievement of that crusade, which resulted in two centuries of Western European Christian states in the Middle East and the permanent firing of the European imagination, was the conquest of Jerusalem on July 15, 1099 after three weeks of siege.

In 2018, artist and activist Erin Darcy launched In Her Shoes – Women of the Eighth, an online project where Irish women anonymously shared the realities of abortion under the Eighth Amendment. Within months, hundreds of stories poured in, breaking decades of taboo and helping shift public opinion before Ireland's historic vote to repeal the Amendment that May. Garnering over 100,000 followers and global media attention, the project became both a national reckoning and a personal act of healing for Darcy, who transformed grief into activism.

Athens and Sparta were the two big players in Ancient Greece. United, they helped lead the Greeks in defeating the great Persian invasion. Divided, they spread conflict and destruction throughout the eastern Mediterranean. They were not simply rivals for power, but polar opposites in culture and ideology: Athens was the outward looking, radical democracy with a maritime empire whilst Sparta was militaristic, rigidly disciplined and brutal. Both were experiments in how to run a state, epitomising the extremes of the Greek longing to excel.

Data has never mattered more. Our lives are increasingly shaped by it and how it is defined, collected and used. But who counts in the collection, analysis and application of data? This important book is the first to look at queer data – defined as data relating to gender, sex, sexual orientation and trans identity/history. The author shows us how current data practices reflect an incomplete account of LGBTQ lives and helps us understand how data biases are used to delegitimise the everyday experiences of queer people.

Taylor frames the Orphic hymns as fragments of a primordial theology in which the gods are not personalities but cosmic powers, each hymn functioning as a precise invocation of a universal principle. His translation exposes an initiatory system built on purification, cosmic sympathy, and ascent through successive layers of divine order.

This book restores the Middle Ages to its true form—not as caricatured by the Enlightenment or romanticized by later centuries, but as it truly was: contradictory, luminous, and trembling between faith and reason. Here, the history of philosophy is not a dry sequence of doctrines, but a living journey of human thought—from dogma to freedom, from darkness to light, from monastery to university.

From the hellish skies over Europe to the unforgiving terrain of the Himalayas, this is the first complete history of the C-47 aircrew who helped turn the tide of war. One of the most perilous combat roles of World War II was that of the Allied aircrews who flew unarmed transport planes into enemy territory, often just hundreds of feet above the battlefield. Tasked with delivering paratroopers and towing combat gliders packed with troops and equipment, the crews braved anti-aircraft fire and enemy fighters without the means to shoot back.

Rising from modest semi-rural, semi-industrial origins in the West Country, and years of apprenticeship in shops in Brighton, Bondfield became the first woman to chair the TUC, one of the first female Labour MPs, the first woman to hold government office (1924) and in 1929, the first female Cabinet Minister. Most of her life was lived in the public eye, but what lay behind her public achievements? In this remarkable book, historian Nan Sloane looks beyond the public façade to reveal Bondfield's hidden personal story.

La Révolution française de la fin des années 1790 fut l'un des événements cruciaux de l'histoire européenne. Ce fut le moment décisif — un glissement historique qui fit entrer le monde dans une nouvelle ère, complètement différente. Hélas, tous ces changements ont un coût élevé. Dans le sillage de la Révolution, une série de conflits à grande échelle s'ensuivit, connus collectivement sous le nom de guerres napoléoniennes.

Intelligent, elegant, and socially gifted, the Hon. Lady Emily Lamb was born into privilege—her godmother was the infamous Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire. After an early love marriage to Earl Cowper soured, she took a string of lovers, culminating in taming a rake: the promising, promiscuous Harry, Lord Palmerston. Placing herself at the centre of glamorous Regency high society with its duels and dissipation, Emily became a leader of fashion, admired by Lord Byron and Thomas Moore.
