Shell Shock: The Psychological Impact of War

An authoritative and fascinating account of masculinity, madness and the ethics of war. Shell Shock is the story of the mind at war. For centuries we have acknowledged the terrible physical effects of warfare, but it is only in the twentieth century, with the significant changes in the nature of war and our attitude towards it, that we have begun to realize the profound psychological effects of sending individuals to the front line. This book charts society's attempts to distinguish between madness and cowardice, in conflicts from the First World War to Bosnia. In a shifting moral landscape it details the revolution in military attitudes to the fragility of men.

A new novel from the cult soap Hollyoaks; When a confidential detail of Finn's stag night becomes common knowledge chaos breaks loose. As the accusations fly, the realisation dawns that if someone has cracked the encrypted e-mail file that contained all the revelatory details of the stag night, what else have they discovered? Whose e-mails has he/she read? What secrets could he/she reveal? Who is the mystery hacker? Their suspicions are correct: the culprit has read all about Finn's stag night and other candid details that the Hollyoaks lads revealed to each other, including their ideal women and their exploits between the sheets. They've delved into Tony's inbox and read all about Carol's life on the ocean wave and Lucy's adventures on her round-the-world trip. Not least, they've spied the details of some of the residents' most intimate secrets: Max's disastrous first sexual experience and Geri's feelings about Adam. But the hacker is living on borrowed time. Someone is on his trail and he must find bigger revelations to divert attention away from himself in the event of exposure. His solution is to start a misinformation campaign - which has devastating consequences...Based on an exclusive storyline, this novel allows the reader to get to know the characters on a more intimate level, and gives more background to the events seen on screen.

Most of us can name at least a few of the major events, places and people in British history. But the details are often more confusing. Did the Saxons come before or after the Romans? Did King Arthur really exist? When did Charles I lose his head or Wellington defeat Napoleon at Waterloo? In " The Ultimate Time Team Companion" Tim Taylor draws on the expertise of the Time Team contributors to answer all your questions about the programme, including a guide to all 50 excavation sites illustrating our British history from the dawn of time to the modern age. It also follows the team in five photo stories as they explore Cirencester, northern France, Basing House, Flag Fen and Elveden in Suffolk.

The Battleships

Before the nuclear bomb, the only weapon that evoked fear and veneration was the battleship. This book unveils the epic saga of power, international politics and one-up-manship that led to the titanic wars of the 20th century. Spanning almost two centuries, from the Battle of Trafalgar to the end of World War II, this book examines the rapid evolution of firepower and battleship design from canvas to steam; timber to steel armour; muzzle loading cannons to 18-inch guns, and beyond to rocket launchers and missiles. As the spearhead of colonial expansion the battleship reigned supreme, but as each new man-of-war came off the slipway, the world became a more dangerous place.

The Private Lives of the Pharaohs traces three major scientific investigations as they reconsider some of the oldest and most puzzling questions in Egyptology: who exactly built the Great Pyramid of Giza, how did they do it, and why? Why did the claustrophobic 18th Dynasty die out? Was it the result of incest and inherited disease? And who exactly was the boy-pharaoh Tutankhamen? DNA analysis and the re-examination of a nameless skeleton play their part in determining the sequence of events at the end of this turbulent era. The investigation allows us to draw remarkable conclusions concerning hidden aspects of life and health at the very end of the New Kingdom.
