DEVIL’S CHILDREN

DEVIL’S CHILDREN (Paperback)

Loretta Loach

This book offers a true crime history – from medieval society to Jamie Bulger – of children who kill and how adults have tried to make sense of them.The extraordinary and horrifying crime of murder by children of other children commands widespread public interest, but has this always been so? Focusing on the earliest recorded cases, up to and including the tragic killing of James Bulger, this fascinating investigation goes beyond the notoriety of the crimes to explore the real-life stories of the children who committed them and the adult world in which they took place.As well as asking what has changed in the treatment and punishment of these children, and in how they have been viewed by the Church, the courts and the medical profession, it also reveals how these unusual crimes were as pivotal then as they are now in wider deliberations about childhood, morality and the troubling boundaries between innocence and experience.The intriguing story of these crimes is deftly woven together with the keen insights of social history and a groundbreaking depiction of how the legal and medical cultures used such cases to rethink human agency and responsibility.



Loretta Loach has an extensive background in television documentaries in history, politics and current affairs, as well as a PhD in History. The most recent historical drama documentary she has worked on was Queen Victoria’s Empire for Channel Four. She has appeared on Radio 4’s All In the Mind and has written for the Guardian, the Observer and the New Statesman.

Introducing Islam

Introducing Islam (Paperback)

A Graphic Guide

Ziauddin Sardar

Zafar Abbas Malik

Islam is one of the world's great monotheistic religions. Islamic culture, spanning 1,500 years, has produced some of the finest achievements of humanity. Yet the religion followed by a fifth of humankind is too often seen in the West in terms of fundamentalism, bigotry and violence- a perception that couldn't be more wrong.

Introducing Islam recounts the history of Islam from the birth of Prophet Muhammad in the 6th century to its status as a global culture and political force today. Charting the achievements of Muslim civilisation, it explains the nature and message of the Qur'an, outlines the basic features of Islamic law, and assesses the impact of colonialism on Muslim societies.

Ziauddin Sardar and Zafar Abbas Malik show how Muslims everywhere are trying to live their faith and are shaping new Islamic ideas and ideals for a globalised world.



Ziauddin Sardar is a columnist, TV presenter and much more besides. His books include Balti Britain (Granta, 2008) and, with Merryl Wyn Davies, Will America Change? (Icon, 2008).

Zafar Abbas Malik is the art director of Arts and the Islamic World.

Possessing Genius

Possessing Genius (Paperback)

The Bizarre Odyssey of Einstein's Brain

Carolyn Abraham

One of Galileo's fingers is in a museum in Florence, Napoleon's severed penis is in the hands, as it were, of an American urologist. And the brain of the greatest thinker of the 20th century lay until recently in two muday cookie jars under a box behind a beer cooler in Wichita, Kansas.
