Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence We live in a society that is increasingly preoccupied with allocating blame: when something goes wrong someone must be to blame. Bringing together philosophical, psychological, and sociological accounts of blame, this is the first detailed criminological account of the role of blame in which the authors present a novel study of the legal process of blame attribution, set in the context of criminalisation as a social and political process. This timely and topical book will be essential reading for anyone working or researching in the criminal justice field. It will also be of wider interest to anyone wishing to discover the role of blame in modern society.

With DCI Forsyth on holiday, his squad investigates the murder of a couple in what looks like a gangland killing, and it turns out that the couple have lied as to how they obtained their wealth. When DS MacRae hears of a previous, similar killing, the squad is able to make the connection between the two incidents and trace other people involved, who may also be at risk. But none of the others is prepared to cooperate and, when two of them are murdered in St Andrews, MacRae joins an Inspector from the Fife Constabulary in trying to find who is behind the murders, but without success. When Forsyth comes back early from holiday, he takes over the investigation and, by the use of logical deduction, arrives at the identity of the murderer.

Steampunk! an Anthology of Fantastically Rich and Strange Stories

Steampunk! an Anthology of Fantastically Rich and Strange Stories

Gavin J. Grant; Kelly Link; Kelly Link (Editor)

Candlewick on Brilliance Audio
2011
muu
Imagine an alternate universe where romance and technology reign. Where tinkerers and dreamers craft and recraft a world of automatons, ornate clockworks, calculating machines, and other marvels that never were. Where scientists and schoolgirls, fair folk and Romans, intergalactic bandits, Utopian revolutionaries, and intrepid orphans decked out in corsets, clockwerk suits, and tall black boots solve dastardly crimes, escape from monstrous predicaments, consult oracles, and hover over volcanoes in steam-powered airships. Here, in the first major steampunk anthology for young adults, fourteen masters of speculative fiction, including two graphic storytellers, embrace the genre s established blend of sci-fi and fantasy, action and adventure, history and romance, and refashion it in surprising ways and in settings as diverse as Canada, New Zealand, Appalachia, Wales, ancient Rome, future Australia, and alternate California. Visionaries Link and Grant have invited all-new interpretations, explorations, and expansions, taking a genre already rich, strange, and inventive in the extreme and challenging contributors to remake it from the ground up. The result is an anthology that defies even as it defines the genre."
