101 Most Horrible Tortures In History misses out all the boring stuff and gets straight to the very sharp point, the weird, bizarre and even a bit of the gore! Often when learning history at school, we'd all squirm in our chairs at hearing about the odd bit of torture or terrible execution but on the inside a bit of us loved it. This book covers some of the craziest tortures that humans have inflicted on each other over the last 6,000 years from every corner of the world. Whether you like your tortures boiling-hot; if medieval dungeons are your thing or you think Mongolian tortures are the coolest procedures until the CIA Cold Cell Air-Con torture. 101 Most Horrible Tortures In History takes a wry look at history, torture and bizarre punishments of times past and just a bit of the present so that we can thank our lucky stars that none of this is ever likely happen to us. History doesn't have to be torture!

There is a veneer of civilisation in this world in which we live, but scratch beneath the surface & you'll uncover an underworld of fear, violence & death. Sometimes though you don't have to peek into the shadows & darkness to find it, sometimes death comes to get you. When her friend disappears in mysterious circumstances and with the police seemingly unable to help, Ru yearns to ditch her mundane day job and dips her toe in a world that soon threatens to subsume not just her but all those she loves. What starts as a curious investigation soon erupts into a one-woman crusade to clean up the streets & gain justice at whatever cost. Swallowed up by a world of gangs, drugs & guns, Ru transforms herself into V & uses the two things no man can resist, her stunning beauty and powerful Mixed Martial Arts skills. The weak and oppressed have a new hero in town, you better remember it as one day you might need to call her. Her name is V, for Vixen. Vixen is a Vigilante Pulp Noir Action Thriller.

You could too!In 2014, How To Get Rich Using Airbnb, the author, and his home were interviewed and filmed by Bloomberg Television for a feature on Airbnb. In November 2015, the book was again featured this time on the BBC when Stephen Liddell was interviewed live on air on the subject of homeowners so successfully monetising their homes that it is upsetting the hotel industry.***An Amazon 2013, 2014 and 2015 # 1 ranking best-seller in three sections including TRAVEL > Special Interest > Business and TRAVEL > Bed & Breakfast ***There are no other Airbnb-related books or authors with such a pedigree.Even better, here are some actual reviews from my Airbnb listing. As you can see from 2012 to 2016, I have been successfully making lots of money and making hundreds of tourists and long-term rentals happy at the same time in what as the BBC admitted is a very average home."This was my first Airbnb experience and I can honestly say it was wonderful. Stephen provided me with great directions to his place and how to get to my next location via the bus and tube. He was also a life saver when I realized I brought the wrong plug adapter and found one for me to use until I was able to purchase one. I highly recommend this Airbnb and would love to have another opportunity to come back in the future." Carly from California in January 2016"Stephen was an excellent host and made me feel very welcome. The house is clean and comfortable and the room was exactly as described. Although I didn't require them, the provision of towels and shower gel was a nice touch. The breakfast cupboard was also handy. Overall, a great experience and highly recommended." Nicola from Birmingham, U.K. October 2015"We loved everything about our stay! I only wish we were able to spend more time there! We will definitely be coming back to London, and definitely with Stephen and Emilia! The house is easy to find, the room was just as described. I'd have loved to spend more time at the house, but our time was limited. Stephen and Emilia were wonderful hosts, both very kind and helpful. I was hesitant when I booked - to stay at someone's home, but I have no regrets! "Lindsey from New York in February 2014"The sun did indeed shine in London during my stay with Emila and Stephen and no more radiantly than the friendly smiles of my hosts and their many kindnesses during my stay. My first Air bnb experience was a memorable one because of Emilia and Stephen. Their house is spotlessly clean, modern and conveniently located. They made my visit a memorable...

E. H. Gombrich's Little History of the World, though written in 1935, has become one of the treasures of historical writing since its first publication in English in 2005. The Yale edition alone has now sold over half a million copies, and the book is available worldwide in almost thirty languages. Gombrich was of course the best-known art historian of his time, and his text suggests illustrations on every page. This illustrated edition of the Little History brings together the pellucid humanity of his narrative with the images that may well have been in his mind's eye as he wrote the book. The two hundred illustrations—most of them in full color—are not simple embellishments, though they are beautiful. They emerge from the text, enrich the author's intention, and deepen the pleasure of reading this remarkable work. For this edition the text is reset in a spacious format, flowing around illustrations that range from paintings to line drawings, emblems, motifs, and symbols. The book incorporates freshly drawn maps, a revised preface, and a new index. Blending high-grade design, fine paper, and classic binding, this is both a sumptuous gift book and an enhanced edition of a timeless account of human history.

This is a dystopian social science fiction novel and morality tale. The novel is set in the year 1984, a fictional future in which most of the world has been destroyed by unending war, constant government monitoring, historical revisionism, and propaganda. The totalitarian superstate Oceania, ruled by the Party and known as Airstrip One, now includes Great Britain as a province. The Party uses the Thought Police to repress individuality and critical thought. Big Brother, the tyrannical ruler of Oceania, enjoys a strong personality cult that was created by the party's overzealous brainwashing methods. Winston Smith, the main character, is a hard-working and skilled member of the Ministry of Truth's Outer Party who secretly despises the Party and harbors rebellious fantasies.

A brilliant work from the most influential philosopher since Sartre. In this indispensable work, a brilliant thinker suggests that such vaunted reforms as the abolition of torture and the emergence of the modern penitentiary have merely shifted the focus of punishment from the prisoner's body to his soul.

In our time nobody is content to stop with faith but wants to go further. It would perhaps be rash to ask where these people are going, but it is surely a sign of breeding and culture for me to assume that everybody has faith, for otherwise it would be queer for them to be . . . going further. In those old days it was different, then faith was a task for a whole lifetime, because it was assumed that dexterity in faith is not acquired in a few days or weeks. When the tried oldster drew near to his last hour, having fought the good fight and kept the faith, his heart was still young enough not to have forgotten that fear and trembling which chastened the youth, which the man indeed held in check, but which no man quite outgrows. . . except as he might succeed at the earliest opportunity in going further. Where these revered figures arrived, that is the point where everybody in our day begins to go further.

Foucault's writings on power and control in social institutions have made him one of the modern era's most influential thinkers. Here he argues that punishment has gone from being mere spectacle to becoming an instrument of systematic domination over individuals in society - not just of our bodies, but our souls. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.
