The definitive identity of the world's most notorious serial killer is finally revealed.In this latest edition of Naming Jack the Ripper, three brand-new chapters detail Ripperologist Russell Edwards' ongoing work since 2014 and how he has solved - for the first time ever - many of the long-unanswered mysteries regarding the how and why of the killings, the Goulston Street Graffito . . . and why the real killer was not charged in 1888.All the experts agreed: we would never know the true identity of the world's most famous serial killer. It has taken 136 years of theorizing and speculation, plus the determination of Russell Edwards, a twenty-first-century businessman fascinated by the nineteenth-century social history of London's East End, to finally solve the mystery of Jack the Ripper. In February 2014, Russell received stunning DNA results and revealed the true identity and name of Jack the Ripper. In the decade since, he has continued his quest to prove the identity of the Ripper beyond the shadow of a doubt.The key to the solution lay in the sole piece of physical evidence to have survived from the murders of five Whitechapel women by the Ripper in 1888. In the early morning of Sunday, 30th September 1888, a shawl lay bloodied alongside the body of the Ripper's fourth victim, Catherine Eddowes. A Metropolitan Police officer, PC Amos Simpson, was attending the crime scene as an acting sergeant and was permitted to take the shawl away. It remained in his family until the author bought it in 2007, following a public auction. But could the shawl's provenance be proved? Russell set about authenticating the shawl by commissioning scientists at Liverpool John Moores University, led by Dr Jari Louhelainen, to use modern forensic techniques to analyze DNA extracted from stains on the shawl - DNA from both Catherine Eddowes and her suspected killer.In this book, Russell examines the police reports, eyewitness accounts, post-mortems, and all known information on the lives of the victims, in his search for vital clues. With the help of modern forensic techniques, Russell's ground-breaking discoveries provide conclusive answers to many of the most challenging mysteries surrounding the case.

Providing a rare example of a national cinema that has managed to overturn the prevailing global paradigm of Hollywood dominance, South Korean films are nevertheless still haunted by the peninsula’s earlier colonial history. Focussing on a series of films produced during the administration of disgraced and then pardoned President Park Geun-hye (2013–2017), this book examines South Korea’s relationship with Japan and how this relationship continues to be negotiated through films and politics. Containing detailed discussion of significant and internationally renowned films including The Age of Shadows, The Handmaiden and the domestically popular, The Admiral: Roaring Currents, this informative text is a welcome addition to South Korean Film Studies that will also be valued for its examination of how film cycles operate in non-Hollywood cinema. Offering a perceptive look at an underexplored area, this book will be embraced by professionals and laypersons intrigued by South Korea and Japan’s frequently tense relationship.

In the unfolding drama of the global financial crisis of 2007-2010, bankers have been cast in the role of the bad guys: greedy risk-takers whose speculative investments triggered the worst recession since the 1930s; bloated 'fat cats' living in a bonus-cushioned bubble divorced from the day-to-day financial struggles of ordinary mortals... It was ever thus. Throughout their 600-year history, banks have been courted by princes, potentates, entrepreneurs and statesmen - but also loathed and feared for the breadth of their power and reach. We despise banks with a passion born of dependence, for they are the beating heart that keeps money circulating around our lives and our economies. Our history is inseparable from the history of moneylenders. The House of Money traces that history though the stories of the world's great banking houses, from the Medici family of 14th-century Florence to Goldman Sachs of 21st-century Wall Street, much-feared epitome of the modern investment banking house. Each bank is set clearly in historical context and its influence on financial and broader political history explained and assessed. The book also includes special features on the biggest deals and biggest crashes in financial history, from the loan made by the Bardi family to Edward III of England to finance his ruinously expensive wars with France (and which bankrupted the Italian family), to the financing of the Japanese industrial revolution by British banks in the early 20th century and the sensational fall of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in 2008.
