        Conspiracy in the French Revolution

        by Peter R. Campbell, Thomas Kaiser, Marisa Linton

        Conspiratorial views of events abound even in our modern, rational world. Often such theories serve to explain the inexplicable. Sometimes they are developed for motives of political expediency: it is simpler to see political opponents as conspirators and terrorists, putting them into one convenient basket, than to seek to understand and disentangle the complex motivations of opponents. So it is not surprising to see that just when the French Revolution was creating the modern political world, a constant obsession with conspiracies lay at the heart of the revolutionary conception of politics. The book considers the nature and development of the conspiracy obsession from the end of the old regime to the Directory. Chapters focus on conspiracy and fears of conspiracy in the old regime; in the Constituent Assembly; by the king and Marie Antoinette; amongst the people of Paris; on attitudes towards the peasantry and conspiracy; on Jacobin politics of the Year II and the 'foreign plot'; on counter-revolutionary plots and imaginary plots; on Babeuf and the 'conspiracy of equals'; and finally on fear of conspiracy as an intellectual impasse in the revolutionary mentality. Inspired by recent debates, this book is a comprehensive survey of the nature of conspiracy in the French Revolution, with each chapter written by a leading historian on the question. Each chapter is an original contribution to the topic, written however to include the wider issues for the area concerned. There is an emphasis throughout on clarity and accessibility, making the volume suitable for a wide readership as well as undergraduates and advanced researchers ;

        Meurtre par la Cabale

        by Nathan Erez et Dorith Ginzburg-Silberman

        Meurtre par la Cabale Un Thriller ésotérique fondé sur les secrets de la cabale Nathan Erez et Dorith Ginzburg-Silberman Un thriller israélien qui associe deux éléments apparemment sans rapport l’un avec l’autre : une série de meurtres étranges et le déchiffrage d’anciens textes cabalistiques, avec leur sens caché et mystique. Un professeur de Jérusalem, expert dans le déchiffrage d’anciens manuscrits hébraïques, est chargé d’une mystérieuse mission, qui l’envoie sur trois continents. Il devient mêlé à une série de meurtres, qui le dépassent complètement. Mais il découvre rapidement que s’il ne parvient pas à déchiffrer les manuscrits énigmatiques à l’aide de ses connaissances de la cabale, beaucoup de vies, y compris celles des membres de sa propre famille, seront menacées. Entremêlés avec ce récit passionnant se trouvent de curieux passages rappelant les nombreuses conquêtes qu’a subies la ville de Jérusalem au cours de sa longue histoire ; leur connexion et leur signification ne se révéleront qu’à la fin du livre. Meurtre par la Cabale est une aventure passionnante et au rythme soutenu. Grâce à sa structure remarquable et son sujet captivant (la cabale), vous ne pourrez simplement pas le poser avant d'en connaître la fin. La solution surprenante de ce drame intègre des éléments cabalistiques et entoure le récit de magie, laissant le lecteur presque à bout de souffle. Ce livre a été écrit par Dorith Ginzburg-Silberman, en coopération avec le mystérieux cabaliste Nathan Erez, qui refuse obstinément de révéler son identité. Le Dr Silberman a écrit 17 livres jusqu’à ce jour, parmi lesquels une collection d'histoires courtes, des romans et deux livres pour enfants, ainsi que des recherches et des publications académiques. Le Dr. Silberman est conférencière de littérature dans les meilleures universités israéliennes et son travail lui a valu plusieurs prix. Elle a participé à de nombreux congrès internationaux. L’auteur est mère de trois enfants. L'édition italienne a été publiée en fin 2005 par Barbera Editore et a été chaleureusement acclamée par les médias ; celle en espagnol est sortie en mi- 2006, et l'édition portugaise en octobre 2006. L'édition tchèque est parue en Mars 2008.

        Migrant architects of the NHS

        South Asian doctors and the reinvention of British general practice (1940s-1980s)

        by Julian Simpson, Keir Waddington

        Migrant architects of the NHS draws on forty-five oral history interviews and extensive archival research to offer a radical reappraisal of how the National Health Service was made. It tells the story of migrant South Asian doctors who became general practitioners in the NHS. Imperial legacies, professional discrimination and an exodus of UK-trained doctors combined to direct these doctors towards work as GPs in some of the most deprived parts of the UK. In some areas, they made up over half of the general practitioner workforce. The NHS was structurally dependent on them and they shaped British society and medicine through their agency. Aimed at students and academics with interests in the history of immigration, immigration studies, the history of medicine, South Asian studies and oral history. It will also be of interest to anyone who wants to know more about how Empire and migration have contributed to making Britain what it is today.

        The South African War reappraised

        by Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie

        The South African War was a catalyst in the creation of modern South Africa and was a major international event which had profound implications for British rule in other parts of their colonial empire. This was South Africa's own 'Great War' - the largest conflict waged by the British in the century between the Napoleonic Wars and the First World War. It shaped political discourse among South Africa's various communities and moulded the outlook of a generation of imperial administrators, soldiers and anti-colonial activists. The war launched South Africa as a moral issue of global significance, involving leading humanitarians, foreign 'pro-Boer' volunteers as well as pro-imperial contingents from various dominions and colonies of settlement, and would later find echoes in the campaign against apartheid. This volume includes a historiographical review of a century of writing on the war. It examines South Africa's place in the imperial structure and reappraises its impact on imperial defence and the political identities of Africans, Asians, Boer commandos and Cape Afrikaners. An analysis of the role of the media and the effects of the war on nationalists in India, Ireland and the Dominions is also included. The South African War reappraised will be of particular interest to students of imperialism, modern South Africa, nationalism and the media.

        The Mystery of the Glass Ball

        by Maria Dadouch

        Ghassan Al Ghurairi had to accompany his old grandfather to the Leewy Museum in the middle of the desert. They are attending a ceremony honoring his grandfather, who spent his entire life in service of the desert. As they head to their destination onboard an ancient train, Ghassan came across a conspiracy plotted by the criminal Aqrabawi and his bald friend— disguised as two elderly women—to poison the oasis’s water supply. In place of the ecological life in the desert, they want to make way for an international resort and take over the place. Although Ghassan doesn’t mean to confront this conspiracy alone, he finds himself embroiled face-to-face with the criminals. Fortunately for him, a girl appears at his side to help. Sophia Al-Adnani from Chiparazumpia is also heading with her grandfather and his great eco-friendly invention, the glass ball, to the Leewy Museum, where her grandfather is to be honored. The two children are able to hold off the criminals initially, but not for long, as Aqrabawi and his friend soon reappear—this time deadest on revenge against the two children. Ghassan and Sophia resist in the face of intimidation and threats, and, using clever intrigue, they manage to disarm the conspirators and escape seconds before the desert guards arrive and arrest the criminals.

        Borders and conflict in South Asia

        The Radcliffe Boundary Commission and the partition of Punjab

        by Lucy Chester

        Borders and conflict in South Asia is the first full-length study of the 1947 drawing of the Indo-Pakistani boundary in Punjab. Using the Radcliffe commission as a window onto the decolonization and independence of India and Pakistan, and examining the competing interests, both internal and international, that influenced the actions of the various major players, it highlights British efforts to maintain a grip on India even as the decolonization process spun out of control. Drawing on extensive archival research in India, Pakistan, and Britain, combined with innovative use of cartographic sources, the book paints a vivid picture of both the partition process and the Radcliffe line's impact on Punjab. This book will be vital reading for scholars and students of colonialism, decolonization, partition, and borderlands studies, while providing anyone interested in South Asia's independence with a highly readable account of one of its most controversial episodes.

        Big Deals with Alternative Medicine

        by Beate Frenkel

        The market is growing for homeopathic remedies, diets and all kinds of miracle cures. Although homeopathic practitioners in Germany are largely unregulated, their supporters are growing in number. An industry has sprung up around alternative medicine that draws on the mistrust towards the pharmaceutical industry, medicine and the media. Many products are as harmless as they are ineffective – but some are dangerous or even lethal. Beate Frenkel investigates: where is the source of this boom? What role do conspiracy theories play as well as the influence of the internet? Why do politicians and the German Medical Association take so few preventive steps? Powerful examples are backed up with statements from doctors, patients and alternative medicine practitioners.
