- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.

We see mafias as vast, powerful organisations, harvesting billions of dollars across the globe & wrapping its tentacles around everything from governance to finance. But is this the truth? Travelling from mafia initiation ceremonies in far-flung Russian cities to elite gambling clubs in downtown Macau, Federico Varese sets off in search of answers. Using wiretapped conversations, interviews & previously unpublished police records, he builds up a picture of the real men & women caught up in mafia life, showing their loves & fears, ambitions & disappointments, as well as their crimes. Mafia Life takes us into the real world of organised crime, where mafia henchmen worry about their bad managers & have high blood pressure, assassinations are bungled as often as they come off, & increasing pressure from law enforcement means that a life of crime is no longer lived in the lap of luxury.

Mafia Life is an intense & totally compelling look at an organisation & the daily life of its members, as it gets to grips with the modern world. Out now in paperback. ...
