Synopsis

Celtic Warriors explores the military history of the Celts, revealing how their warrior culture shaped their society and influenced warfare from the British Isles to mainland Europe. This book moves beyond stereotypical portrayals to examine the sophisticated weaponry, innovative battle tactics, and the profound warrior ethos that defined them. Readers will discover how the decentralized tribal structure of the Celts allowed for a flexible approach to warfare, challenging established powers like Rome. Their military prowess wasn't just about individual bravery; it was deeply rooted in their social structure and religious beliefs. The book presents its analysis through three core themes: Celtic weaponry, battle strategies, and the impact of warrior culture on Celtic society. By integrating archaeological evidence with textual analysis and anthropological insights, Celtic Warriors reconstructs a comprehensive picture of Celtic warfare. For example, archaeological finds like weapon caches shed light on their arms, while classical texts, though often biased, offer perspectives on Celtic warfare. Unfolding chapter by chapter, the book begins with the origins and spread of Celtic culture, progresses to detailed examinations of their arms and armor, and then analyzes their battle tactics in specific engagements, such as the Battle of Allia. Finally, it explores the Celtic warrior ethos and connects Celtic warfare to broader trends in ancient military history, providing a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in ancient or military history.

Swoon - Fangirls Their Idols and...

Bea Martinez-Gatell

Swoon is a prehistory of the fangirl. From the Byromaniacs of Regency London to the screamers of Beatlemania, it revisits six defining moments in book, film and music history through the eyes of the girls and women who gave birth to pop culture as we know it today.
Far from passive consumers, these women were tastemakers, visionaries and cultural disruptors. Their obsessions shaped literary canons, built Hollywood icons and turned musicians into messiahs – long before social media came along. But with power came panic, especially when female fans and male stars were involved. Fandom became a moral and cultural battleground. What was at stake was women's right to want things they weren't supposed to want, feel things they weren't supposed to feel and express all these things loudly, shamelessly and in public.

White Supremacy - From Eugenics...

Gavin Evans

White Supremacy begins with the anatomy of the murder of 10 black people in Buffalo, New York in 2022. The killer, 18-year old Payton Gendron, says he was driven by 'Great Replacement' - the conspiracy theory that a Jewish-led elite is replacing white people with black and brown people. This, and a spate of similar hate crimes, begs the question: what are the origins of such behaviour? 
 
Gavin Evans traces the historical roots of white supremacy. He begins in the 19th century with Charles Darwin and his cousin Francis Galton's race-based theories before looking at the spread of eugenics ideas throughout the UK, Europe and the United States, their Holocaust-prompted decline after World War 2, and their revival in a different guise through the promotion of race science from the late 20th century. Evans also examines the hatching of 'Great Replacement' conspiratorial ideas in the 21st century - and their expression via alt-right forums to the minds of troubled young men with access to assault rifles. 
 
White Supremacy breaks new ground in showing the links between mainstream 'Replacement Theory' and the terrorist version cited by far-right killers. It also traces the thread between these ideas and the race science promoted both by the far right and establishment figures. It looks at what these ideas have in common with those promoted by, for example, the founder of eugenics.
