    Globally famous and yet universally misunderstood – these are the complex and utterly engrossing stories of Britain's royal women behind the public façade. 
    Look closely at the narratives about contemporary royal women and you will see a repeating pattern, each characterised as the monarchy’s saviour or a destroyer, saint or sinner, or describing an arc between those poles. It is when royal women attempt to define themselves, carve out meaning for themselves, that things get really interesting. “She won’t go quietly. That’s the problem,” said Diana in her controversial Panorama interview. Nor did she. 
    The requirement that royal women give up their voice was already out of step with those earlier times and her instincts. Her sons’ wives have taken openly divergent paths, Kate dutiful, Meghan kicking against the restraints. Their sharply polarised supporters reject the idea of any commonalities, yet they are there. Both women have seen their lives instrumentalised and distorted. 
    To appreciate royal women and their significance more clearly, it is necessary to unpick the storylines written for them, the preconceptions projected on to them. They are globally famous and universally misunderstood. 
    Crown Jewels will unmask characters far more complex and interesting than standard portrayals suggest—and also spotlight the fragility of the monarchy. For more than a century apparently unsinkable, the House of Windsor is floundering. The most compelling and consequential players in this unfolding endgame are royal women.

    In 1881, a writer in the Saturday Review called tattooing ‘an art without a history’. ‘No-one’, it went on, ‘has made it the business of his life to study the development of tattooing.’ Until now. 
    Painted People is a beguiling and intimate look at an untold history of humanity. 
    The earliest tattoos yet identified belonged to Ötzi, the ‘iceman’, whose mummy allows us a brief glimpse into the prehistory of the practice. We know that over the more than five thousand years since he was tattooed, countless cultures have performed this ancient practice, and people in every corner of the world have been tattooed. For the most part, these fascinating histories remain stubbornly untold, and the secrets of Siberian princesses, Chinese generals and Victorian socialites have been hidden on the skin, under layers of clothing and under layers of history. Now with access to a wealth of new and unreported material, this book will roll up its sleeves and reveal the artwork hidden beneath them. 
    In Painted People, Dr Matt Lodder, one of the world’s foremost experts on tattooing, tells the stories of people like Arnaq, who was tattooed in keeping with her cultural and religious traditions in sixteenth-century Canada, and Horace Ridler, who was tattooed as a means to make money in 1930s London. And in between these two extremes, he describes tattoos inked for love, for loyalty, for sedition and espionage and for self-expression, as well as tattoos inflicted on the unwilling, to ostracise. Taken together, these twenty-one tattoos paint a portrait of humanity as both artist and canvas. 
    Lodder's Painted People is a top-tier exploration of body art, blending science and design in a unique anthropological study. His criticism of popular views on tattooing offers a fresh perspective on this ancient practise. 
    For fans of Nick Schonberger (The Language of Tattoos), John Miller (The Philosophy of Tattoos), Trent Aitken-Smith (The Tattoo Dictionary), Caroline Vout (Exposed), and Yori Moriarty (Japanese Tattoos).

    Sustainability in urban contexts represents a pivotal concept in addressing the challenges posed by rapid urbanization and environmental degradation. As cities grow exponentially, they have become both the epicenters of human activity and the focal points of environmental stress. Defining sustainability in the urban realm requires a holistic understanding of how economic, social, and environmental systems can coexist harmoniously within densely populated areas. The essence of sustainable urban development lies in creating cities that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to thrive. 
    Urban sustainability emphasizes the importance of balancing growth and development with environmental stewardship. This involves minimizing the negative impacts of urbanization, such as pollution, resource depletion, and biodiversity loss, while enhancing the quality of life for residents. Sustainable cities are designed to be inclusive, equitable, and resilient, promoting social cohesion and economic vitality alongside ecological preservation. Key principles include efficient resource management, integration of renewable energy, sustainable transportation systems, and the adoption of green infrastructure. 
    Central to this concept is the recognition that cities are complex, interdependent systems. Housing, transportation, energy, water, and waste management are all interconnected elements that must be addressed cohesively to achieve sustainability. For example, designing energy-efficient buildings can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but such efforts must be complemented by policies that encourage renewable energy adoption and sustainable urban planning. Similarly, enhancing public transportation systems can alleviate traffic congestion and reduce emissions while improving accessibility for marginalized communities.

    If God loves us and is so powerful, why does God allow disease and natural disasters, as well as terrorism and other human atrocities?What are some true stories of Catholics today who faced significant suffering and now see the good that God brought from it? 
    Catholic Stories of Faith and Hope provides a Catholic response to the big question, “Why would a loving God allow evil, pain, and suffering?” This includes exploring why God would allow disease and natural disasters (natural evil) and evil human behavior (moral evil), as well as how suffering can help us find a deeper meaning and purpose in life. This book contains several poignant and inspiring personal testimonies of Catholics who have dealt positively with significant suffering in their own lives. These stories provide contemporary accounts of how suffering can lead to personal and spiritual growth and bring us closer to God, others, and the Church. Catholic Stories of Faith and Hope helps us see suffering and hardship as an opportunity to experience God’s grace and love by focusing on Jesus Christ, who experienced profound pain and suffering himself and who cares deeply about our own suffering. 
    Catholic Stories of Faith and Hope helps readers undertake the Spiritual Works of Mercy to “comfort the afflicted,” “counsel the doubtful,” and “educate the uninformed.” Understanding the purpose of suffering and the greater good that can come from it will help us and those we love become better, instead of bitter, when facing life’s inevitable hardships and difficulties.
