Under The Jaguar Sun
£9.99
A couple on an epicurean journey across Mexico are excited by the idea of a particular ingredient, suggested by ancient rituals of human sacrifice. Precariously balanced on his throne, a king is able only to listen to the sounds around him
- sure that any deviation from their normal progression would mean the uprising of the conspirators that surround him. & three different men search desperately for the beguiling scents of lost women, from a Count visiting Madame Odile`s perfumery, to a London drummer stepping over spent, naked bodies.

Under the Map Germany - Nationalism & Propaganda 1914-1945
Under The Map Germany
- Nationalism &
Propaganda 1914-1945
£45.00
At the close of the First World War, propaganda mapping played a crucial role in the creation of a consensus about German national territory. Under the Map of Germany provides a detailed & vivid analysis of the history & techniques of nationalist mapping in inter-war Germany. Using extensive archival documentation
- including many previously undiscovered maps
- the author charts the development of new concepts of national territory & the establishment of an effective propaganda mapping network. His research demonstrates that a consensus about the extent of the Greater German nation was not created by skillful Nazi propagandists, but by the collaborate efforts of respected scholars & nationalist activists during the Weimar Republic. Challenging the belief that national self-determination is a just cause, Under the Map of Germany reveals that national territories are not tangible entities that can be clearly delimited, but are artificial constructs open to a wide range of interpretations.

Under the Rock
Under The Rock
£14.99
A bold & original exploration of landscape, nature & literature by one of Britain`s most acclaimed novelists; Carved from the valley side above Mytholmroyd in Calderdale, West Yorkshire, Scout Rock is a steep crag overlooking wooded slopes & flat weed-tangled plateaus. To many it is unremarkable, to others it is a doomed place where 18th-century thieves would hide out; where the town tip once sat, suicides leapt to their death & the asbestos that claimed so many lives was buried in the soil. Scout Rock is also the subject of Ted Hughes`s 1963 essay ` The Rock`, in which the poet describes growing up across the valley from `my spiritual midwife...both the curtain & backdrop to existence`. Into this beautiful, dark & complex landscape steps Benjamin Myers, asking: are unremarkable places made remarkable by the minds that map them? The result is a lyrical & unflinching investigation into nature, literature, history, memory & the very meaning of place in modern Britain. ...
