  The story of the Bamburgh Sword – one of the finest swords ever forged.
  In 2000, archaeologist Paul Gething rediscovered a sword. An unprepossessing length of rusty metal, it had been left in a suitcase for thirty years. But Paul had a suspicion that the sword had more to tell than appeared, so he sent it for specialist tests. When the results came back, he realised that what he had in his possession was possibly the finest, and certainly the most complex, sword ever made, which had been forged in seventh-century Northumberland by an anonymous swordsmith.
  This is the story of the Bamburgh Sword – of how and why it was made, who made it and what it meant to the warriors and kings who wielded it over three centuries. It is also the remarkable story of the archaeologists and swordsmiths who found, studied and attempted to recreate the weapon using only the materials and technologies available to the original smith.

  Addiction Becomes Normal - On...

  Addiction is now seen as an ordinary feature of human nature, an idea that introduces new doubts about the meaning of our desires. 
    
  Over the last forty years, a variety of developments in American science, politics, and culture have reimagined addiction in their own ways, but they share an important understanding: increasingly, addiction is described as normal, the natural result of a body that has been exposed to potent stimuli. This shift in thinking suggests that addiction is a condition latent in all of us, a common response to a society rich in thrills. 
    
  In Addiction Becomes Normal, Jaeyoon Park provides a history and critical analysis of the normalization of addiction in late-modern American society. By exploring addiction science, diagnostic manuals, judicial reform, and public health policy, he shows how seeing addiction as normal has flourished in recent decades and is supported throughout cultural life in the United States by the language of wellness, psychotherapy, and more. Building on Michel Foucault’s depiction of the human figure, Park argues that this shift reflects the emergence of a new American subject, one formed by the accretion of experiences. This view of the human subject challenges the idea that our compulsions reflect our characters, wills, or spirits. For if addiction is an extreme but ordinary attachment, and if compulsive consumption resembles healthy behavior, then desire is no longer an expression of the soul so much as the pursuit of a past reward. A perceptive work of recent history and political theory, Addiction Becomes Normal raises new questions about what it means to be human in America today.

  'One of the best in the field.' JON SNOWOn 8 June, 1982, some 600 troops aged 17-22 were packed closely together on the Galahad at Fitzroy, 3 miles from the front line, to liberate Port Stanley on 10 June. They became the thunderbolt target of Argentine airforce attacks resulting in Britain's most devastating military day since 1945 with additional attacks on two Royal Navy ships, including frigate HMS Portsmouth struck by five 500lbs bombs.Written as a tribute to the bravery of the troops as they suddenly came under attack, this memoir is filled with first-hand recollections from officers under attack. The first history of that fateful day, it is also the first Falklands book based on the official June-Sept 1982 Royal Navy Inquiry, recently declassified and made accessible at Kew Archives. Too Thin for a Shroud casts an unmissable, gripping new light on this dramatic part of the land-campaign that has been misunderstood and overlooked for forty years.
