Henry Charles Lea

Sinopsis

In "A History of the Inquisition of the Middle Ages," Henry Charles Lea meticulously chronicles the complex and often tumultuous relationship between the Church and society during the medieval period. Spanning three volumes, this extensive work employs a scholarly narrative style intertwined with a rich tapestry of primary sources, offering a thorough examination of the Inquisition's rise, processes, and socio-political implications. Lea's contextual analysis delves into the broader European landscape, revealing how the Inquisition's brutalities were not only religious but also deeply intertwined with emerging ideas of state power and social control. Henry Charles Lea, an eminent American historian and a pioneering figure in the study of the Inquisition, was driven by his desire to uncover historical truths that had long been obscured by sensationalism and myth.

Scottish Queens 1034-1714 - The...

Rosalind K. Marshall

An "enlightening and fascinating" exploration of Scotland's royal women, from Lady Macbeth to Mary Queen of Scots and beyond (Booklist). 
 
 
 
The lives of the Scottish queens, both those who ruled in their own right and the consorts, have largely been neglected in conventional history books. One of the earliest known Scottish queens was none other than the notorious Lady Macbeth. Was she really the wicked woman depicted in Shakespeare's famous play? Was St. Margaret a demure and obedient wife? Why did Margaret Logie exercise such an influence over her husband, David II, and have we underestimated James VI's consort, Anne of Denmark, frequently written off as a stupid and willful woman? Rosalind K. Marshall delves into these questions and more in this entertaining, impeccably researched book.

Taking Stock - A Journey Among Cows

Roger Morgan-Grenville

'Funny, insightful and hugely informative ... a charming book' DAILY MAIL


'Tremendous ... We all need to take stock, and this is the ideal starting point. I learnt a lot from this book and laughed a lot too.' ROSAMUND YOUNG, author of The Secret Life of Cows

Since highland cattle ransacked his grandmother's vegetable patch when he was six, Roger Morgan-Grenville has been fascinated by cows.


So at the age of 61, with no farming experience, he signed on as a part- time labourer on a beef cattle farm to tell their side of the story. The result is this lyrical and evocative book.


For 10,000 years, cow and human lives have been intertwined. Cattle have existed alongside us, fed and shod us, quenched our thirst, and provided a thousand other tiny services, and yet most of us know little about them. We are also blissfully unaware of the de-natured lives we often ask them to lead.


Part history, part adventure and part unsentimental manifesto for how we should treat cows in the 21st century, Taking Stock asks us to think carefully about what we eat, and to let nature back into food production.
