In Two Thousand Years, Professor Peter Partner looked at the birth of Christianity, from its Jewish roots in the first century, through the Roman Empire and beyond to the first crusade. Now, in book two of this powerful series, Professor Partner takes us through the turbulent and astonishing second millennium, when tensions between Judaism, Christianity and Islam was matched by the tensions between the different theological arguments within Christianity itself. This lavish book combines stunning illustration, populist appeal and academic excellence.

"Murder Scene Investigation" tells the fascinating stories of the world's most notorious murder cases through the eyes of the men who solved them. In each case, the detective must reach deep inside the mind of the criminal, seek to understand him and his motives, work towards a psychological profile and piece together his identity. Drawing on the testimony of the detective, their family and colleagues and, where possible, of the murderer himself, as well as on archive material - news, broadcast and police footage, surveillance recordings and interrogations plus trial transcripts - "Murder Scene Investigation" provides a wholly revealing insight into the minds of these brutal killers, offers a gripping narrative of how they were brought to account and also paints a vivid picture of life as a detective in homicide.

Explaining Tutankhamun's background and the role of the Pharaoh, "The Treasures of Tutankhamun" shows how Egypt became a source of fascination for those in the West. Using photographs, drawings and diagrams from the original expedition, it brings to life the excitement and wonderment that Carter and Carnarvon must have felt upon opening the tomb. It also describes the painstaking efforts that were taken as they and their team slowly investigated the wealth of objects that had lain hidden for centuries. It also addresses its impact on the study of Egyptology and the more far-reaching effects it has had.

Howard Hughes lived one of the greatest, most heroic, misunderstood, mysterious, bizarre, and tragic lives in American history. In this brilliantly documented biography, the mythology that surrounded that life is disentangled from the truth. Hughes had always been different. Certainly his riches set him apart, but he was also tough. Orphaned and a millionaire at eighteen, Hughes repudiated his relatives, seized control of the Hughes Tool Company, the linchpin of his fortune, and went on to become a flamboyant movie producer, holder of many world aviation records, principal owner of Trans World Airlines, a critically important defense contractor, Hollywood's most pursued and elusive bachelor, and partner of the United States government. This is an epic biography of an epic figure who bestrode the world like a colossus yet could not master himself.
