As Jewish citizensstruggled to assert their place in a newly independent Poland, a dedicated groupof Jewish scholars fascinated by history devoted themselves to creating a senseof Polish Jewish belonging while also fighting for their rights as an ethnicminority.

Moshe Rosman's revolutionary approach has become a cornerstone of Polish Jewish historiography. Analytical introductions weigh their significance in the light of modern and postmodern Jewish and Polish historiography.

Gaming is now an important media studies issue, yet there has to date been very little material available for teachers to use in the classroom.

Harry Kumel's cult classic Daughters of Darkness (1971) is a vampire film like no other.

An illustrated explanation of the geological background to the first Industrial Revolution that originated in eighteenth-century Britain.

Introducing Tectonics, Rock Structures and Mountain Belts is written to explain the key concepts of tectonics and rock structures to students and to the interested non-specialist, especially those without a strong mathematical background. The study and understanding of geological structures has traditionally been guided by the rigorous application of mathematics and physics but, in this book, Graham Park has avoided mathematical equations altogether and has reduced the geometry to the minimum necessary. The application of plate tectonic theory has revolutionised structural geology by giving the study of rock structures a context in which they can be explained. Since the large-scale movements of the plates ultimately control smaller-scale structures, the study of tectonics is the key to understanding the latter. The reader is thus introduced to large-scale Earth structure and the theory of plate tectonics before dealing with geological structures such as faults and folds. Studies by structural geologists of the movement history of rock masses relative to each other, as revealed by the study of fault systems and shear zones, has helped to integrate rock structures with plate tectonics and this has been emphasised in the book. One of the most exciting aspects of geology is the study of the great mountain ranges, orogenic belts. The final three chapters of the book explain how knowledge of plate tectonic theory, geological structures and the processes of deformation may be employed to understand these orogenic belts. hilst excessive use of terminology is avoided, all technical terms are in a Glossary and, as with all books in this series, the text is illustrated profusely.

The Imagist Poets revises the received view of Imagism by drawing upon current re-readings of modernism in terms of gender and sexuality, cultural geography, and the idea of literary institutions and formations.

This is a fascinating critical study of the work of Aphra Behn, probably the most inventive and original woman writer of the 17th century.

This book illuminates the importance of the inter-relationship between emotion and religion in the poetry of three women poets: Felicia Hemens, Dora Greenwell and Anne Procter of the Romantic and Victorian eras.

This study provides the first sustained consideration of Forrest-Thomson's poetry, and of the relationships between her work and that of the language writers.

Volcanoes have an endless fascination. Their eruptions are a regular reminder of the power of nature and our vulnerability to this raw geological phenomenon, however volcanic activity, and its plumbing from beneath, is an essential element of the forces that shaped and constantly reshape our planet. Dougal Jerram answers the questions: What are volcanoes? What other volcanic activity is there? How do volcanoes relate to plate tectonics and the movement of continents? What are eruptions and why do they occur? How have volcanoes affected the earths climate? Can we predict eruptions? He also describes the most notable eruptions in history and their effect. Copiously illustrated throughout Introducing Volcanology is a concise and accessible introduction to the science of hot rocks for those with an adult curiosity and for those contemplating a course of formal study. As with sister volumes, technical terms are kept to a minimum and a glossary is provided covering the whole subject from ash to zeolites.

This introductory study helps to set the Georgians in their original context, and revises the critical balance in favour of three lesser known writers whose contribution to early twentieth-century letters was viewed as significant before the 1930s.
