Sinopse

Aviation History explores the profound impact of flight, from kites and gliders to the modern jet age, fundamentally altering travel and warfare. It examines how aviation's evolution reshaped geopolitical landscapes and redefined the speed of global interactions. Consider that early military aviation rapidly advanced during World War I, leading to the development of aerial combat tactics and technologies.Also, the interwar period saw the rise of commercial aviation, establishing international air routes and passenger aircraft, connecting the world in unprecedented ways. This book offers a comprehensive account of aviation, beginning with the pioneering dreams of flight and progressing through its militarization, commercialization, and its role in subsequent conflicts like World War II and the Cold War. It emphasizes that aviation's development isn't just technological advancement but a critical force in global power dynamics and sociocultural exchange. By drawing on pilot logs, technical documents, and military records, the book avoids simplistic narratives, providing a nuanced view of the complex forces shaping aviation. The book’s approach provides historical, social, and technological context, charting the progression from early experiments to advanced aircraft. It explores engineering, political science, and sociology to provide a holistic understanding of aviation's multifaceted impact. This makes it valuable for those interested in military history, technology, and the social impact of aviation innovation.

    Being Loki

    A little concerned that he seemed to have skipped the Norn's notice when it came to getting a mate, Norse God Loki decided to embark on a path of discovery. He believed that the Norns hadn't put a mate in his path, yet, because he didn't know much about living as a mortal. So, in the interests of learning all he could about the human experience, and following a path many mortals did, Loki employed the services of a therapist. And, sure enough, after following her directions, Loki found himself standing in front of his mate.  
    Let the loving and fun times begin...  
    Except, Anubis, Egyptian God of Mummification, Death, and Lost Souls, was having a few issues of his own. He wasn't about to reject Loki, he hadn't heard of him before, but he was too wound up in his own human experiences. They included a blond twink named Cooper, a nightclub with staff who didn't know their place, and concerns about what he'd learned regarding Osiris during his father's altercation with Seth.  
    Nobody had ever worked out if fated gods could live without each other, but with everything going on around them, Anubis and Loki might have to see if it was possible. Loki would only take a certain amount of being ignored before he did what he did best - Being Loki.  
    Being Loki is an MM paranormal romance story where Loki is described at one point as being something akin to an adorable puppy. I wouldn't write about him unless I could give him an HEA, but he and Anubis do have some fun working things out. This book is intended for adults only - please store your content responsibly. 
    Can be read as standalone, but reading Odin's story (Special Enough) and Seth's Story (Reconciliation) will give you more depth about the backstories.

    Witchcraft holds a continued fascination for readers around the world, and the Scottish witch hunts have recently received renewed media attention, especially with the BBC 2 show Lucy Worsley Investigates, bringing attention to Edinburgh's witches.
    
    Expert Mary Craig explores the unusual story of Agnes Finnie, a middle class shopkeeper who lived in the tenements of Edinburgh. After arrest, most witches were tried within a matter of days but not Agnes. Her unusual case took months with weeks of deliberation of the jury. Mary explains why and gives her expert insight into the political and religious tensions that led to her burning.
    
    The book will interest a variety of readers, academics and non-academics alike – those interested in witchcraft, British and Scottish history, religious studies and women's studies.
    Mary Craig works as a historian with museums, archives and schools and hosts regular, well-attended events on the subject of witchcraft in the Scottish Borders. We expect strong media coverage. The Witches of Scotland campaign has recently gained traction and the attention of first minister Nicola Sturgeon, calling for a pardon and apology to those accused during the witch hunts.
