Arsène Lupin versus Sherlock Holmes  is a book by French author Maurice Leblanc, first published in 1908. This collection of two stories includes The Blonde Lady and The Jewish Lamp. In this second book in the Arsène Lupin series, our rogueish detective faces his most formidable adversary yet. Herlock Sholmes and his partner Wilson are called to France to investigate the case of the Blonde Lady, but their past encounter with Lupin adds an extra layer of intrigue. With a chance for revenge against Lupin, Sholmes eagerly accepts the assignment. In the previous book, Arsène Lupin, Gentleman Burglar, there was a short story called 'Sherlock Holmes Arrives Too Late', but after protests from Arthur Conan Doyle's lawyers, the name was changed in this book to Herlock Sholmes. These stories were originally serialised in the magazine Je Sais Tout from 1906 to 1907.

Reagan's Hollywood America - How...

Davis Truman

Lights. Camera. Politics
Before Ronald Reagan became “the Great Communicator,” he was a Hollywood actor who mastered the art of storytelling — and he carried that skill straight into the White House. Reagan’s Hollywood America reveals how the former movie star reshaped not only the Republican Party but also the entire cultural imagination of the United States.
From the rise of patriotic blockbusters to the golden glow of prime-time optimism, Davis Truman traces how film and television during the 1980s became a mirror — and a weapon — for Reagan’s vision of America. Behind the scenes, entertainment and ideology merged into a powerful narrative machine that sold not just movies, but a new national myth.
Inside this groundbreaking book:That ’80s Show! – How pop culture and politics fused into one seamless performance.The Image President – How Reagan used cinematic language to control public perception.Hollywood’s Cold War – Movies as moral battlegrounds for American virtue versus Soviet villainy.Television Nation – The rise of nostalgia, family values, and the American Dream on screen.The Legacy Reel – How Reagan’s Hollywood still shapes today’s political storytelling.
Rich with cultural analysis, cinematic insight, and political commentary, Reagan’s Hollywood America is an essential listen for readers who love history, film, and the art of persuasion.
Whether you’re a student of politics, a lover of classic cinema, or fascinated by how image became power, this book pulls back the curtain on an era when the American Dream was scripted, directed, and broadcast worldwide.

Wovoka: The Life and Legacy of...

Editors Charles River

Wovoka (1867-1932), the Ghost Dance Prophet, was a member of the Walker River band of Paiutes, in western Nevada. The Walker River Reservation was established in 1859 and was Wokova’s home off and on for years. Wovoka was also known as Jack Wilson, a name he acquired while he was, for some years, employed on the David Wilson family ranch in the Mason Valley. At that time in Nevada, Indians not living on a reservation often lived on a ranch. Wovoka was exposed to the pious Wilson family’s daily Bible readings, and that may have helped shape his own beliefs. 
His father was a traditional medicine man, himself a devotee of an earlier prophet. In 1889, Wovoka followed his father in also becoming a medicine man. The year, Wovoka had a series of visions that led to what is sometimes called the Ghost Dance religion, which spread like wildfire across much of the West in 1889 and 1890. 
Wovoka’s 1889 visions grew into a new religion that gripped the hopes and imaginations of dozens of tribal groups, and it eventually extended over much of the West. It was a kind of antidote for defeat and cultural dislocation. The Lakota Sioux in particular were so caught up in the Ghost Dance and their adaptation of Wovoka’s revelations that they remain strongly associated with the Ghost Dance more than a century later.

The Girl from Montego Bay - The...

Rose Hudson-Wilkin

The Girl from Montego Bay is the autobiography of trailblazer Rose Hudson-Wilkin, Britain's first black woman bishop, who has been right at the heart of a changing nation for over forty years.As a student, Rose had a poster over her desk that read: 'Do not go where the path leads. Instead, go where there is no path and leave a trail.'And she does! Offering eye-opening insights into her humble and challenging beginnings in Jamaica, Rose charts her call to train as an evangelist at the Church Army College in London, where she met her future husband, Ken. Captivatingly open to the nudging of the Spirit, Rose simply has a go at everything that comes her way. The discrimination she's faced, due to her gender and minority-ethnic background, is very real. Yet Rose's infectious energy and humour shine through stories of her beloved Hackney, the ten years she ministered to (sometimes wayward) colleagues in Parliament, and her joy at playing a major role in the Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla in 2023.Rose discloses that if there's one thing she would like to see change in her lifetime, it's that accomplishments like hers stop being 'firsts' and simply become normal.Appointed MBE in the 2020 New Year Honors for 'services to young people and the Church', and listed in the 2020 and 2021 Power list of the 100 the most influential people in the UK of African/African-Caribbean descent, Rose discloses that if there’s one thing she would like to see change in her lifetime, it's that accomplishments like hers stop being 'firsts' and simply become normal.
