'Tis Pity She's a Whore
John Ford's tragedy, first
printed in 1633, is the first major English play to take as its theme a
subject still rarely handled: fulfilled incest between brother and sister.
It is one of the most studied and performed of all plays of the period, and
has been successfully adapted for film and radio. The Revels plays edition
by Derek Roper has been the standard scholarly edition since it appeared in
1975. This new edition uses the same authoritative text, but with notes
designed for modern undergraduate use. The substantial introduction has been
completely rewritten to take account of the studies and new approaches of
the last twenty years. it presents the play as an 'interrogative text', in
which subversive meanings are inscribed within an apparently orthodox
narrative; as a courageous treatment of forbidden love; and as an achieved
work of Baroque art.

The Call Up
From 1947 to 1963 some
2.3 million men were conscripted to do National Service. For some it
was to prove the most exciting and terrifying time of their lives, as
many were sent to the Korean War or to countries such as Palestine and
Kenya where the terrorist threat was ever-present. They learned about
sex and faced death. For others, it was a frustrating interference in
their lives, made all the more ridiculous by endless hours of
square-bashing or painting coal white. Tom Hickman, who himself went
through National Service, shows just how varied were the experiences
of the recruits. By talking to many veterans, he recalls the hilarious
and moving stories from those times, and seeks to explain why the
subject still causes debate more than 40 years on. Above all, The
Call-Up is a portrait of a vanished era that many still feel has
something to teach us today.

The '45
-Christopher Duffy
The '45 Rising has been
romanticised over the centuries in many books and films, and still
arouses strong emotions in Scotland, but this is the first
comprehensive history ever. It is based on original research in all
available archives, including Swedish, French and German records.
These make nonsense of the many popular histories based on
self-serving accounts written by a few of the key participants. But it
is no dry academic analysis. Christopher Duffy, the world's greatest
authority on 18th century warfare, writes a vivid narrative that
overturns many accepted 'facts' about The '45. His text is supported
by numerous maps and a comprehensive guide to the key sites that can
be visited today. This is a major work that addresses a crucial
episode in British history: the last time that a British monarch stood
a serious chance of being unseated by a dynastic rival at the head of
an army.

Cannabis
To some it's anathema,
to others it provides relief from crippling pain: to others still, it
is a legal anomaly and should be decriminalized. Whatever the
viewpoint, and by whatever name it is known, cannabis - or marijuana,
hashish, dope, kif, weed, dagga, grass, ganga - incites debate at
every level and its impact on the world's cultures and economies is
undeniable. Dating back to the Neolithic period, the history of
cannabis is a tale of medical advance, religious enlightenment,
political subterfuge and human rights; of law enforcement and customs
officers, cunning smugglers, street pushers, gang warfare, writers,
artists, musicians and happy-go-lucky hippies and pot-heads.
