The America’s Cup has been the world’s most prestigious yacht race for over 170 years. This beautifully illustrated and fully updated new edition tells the story of the cup from its inception through to the most recent race, held in 2024. Named in 1851 in honour of the first winner (New York pilot, ‘America’), the Cup was dominated by American yachts for well over a century. At last, in 1983, Australia II wrestled the trophy away from the USA, albeit briefly. At Barcelona in 2024, the Cup produced one of the best contests yet, with the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron winning the race for a fifth time, and a British yacht, Britannia, competing in the finals for the first time in 60 years. With a painting of each race since 1851, by marine artist Tim Thompson, and detailed descriptions of the boats involved, The Story of the America’s Cup 1851-2024 is an elegant, insightful celebration of a storied contest.

A fistful of thuggery, an overdose of doctors, a lost memory, a poisonous book of potions, an inspirational blacksmith, a lavish dinner with porky pies, lascivious lawyers, and a dungeon with a view... Emotions spill over like an Icarumban washer girl with a pot of hot water. Is the silver button really the key to the Duchy's future? Ophelia Offcut, Mary Brewer and Olivia Hiepants are women on a mission... Well, more in damage control. Bad things have happened since the Duke of Lower Icing was attacked, and they look to be getting worse when Frank Offcut goes missing. The Silver Button Saga concludes through the eyes of three different women, each conflicted by duty and desire... if only they didn't have so many 'if onlys' to contend with.

A ghostly stranger, an ex-adventurer and supplier of 'hot' pork pies, a delirious Duke, a Sun worshiping zealot, a young man with a case of 'miracle' cures, and a butcher with an axe to grind... Madness and mayhem blossom like unexpected dalliances, but the question remains - will Sir Richard Upson and the Duchy of Lower Icing be undone by a silver button? What does happen when Doctor Manky Strolls In? Find out in this amusingly intriguing story set in the imaginary medieval world of The Five Duchies... in particular, the bustling town of Lower Icing, where the Inns are in, the guards need guards, and the news is yelled out by a man in a red coat... but not the real news.

The Story of the America's Cup 1851-2021 tells the chronological history of 150 years of the most exciting and exhilarating yacht race, open the pages and you can almost feel the wind in the sails and the salt spray. Full page colour illustrations bring the yachts alive, set as they are in their natural element, at sea, on the waves; detailed descriptions give an amazing insider's view of the construction of individual boats, the routes sailed, the crews, the highs and lows of what was undoubtedly, extremely tough and competitive sailing, the victories and the defeats. Paintings by Tim Thompson, a leading marine artist are an integral part of the book's appeal; he has captured the pure essence, the spirit of the race and its place in history.

The Necronomicon Cycle holds that religious ideology must be based on psychic projections sent forward from The Great Old Ones. This is stated in The Necronomicon and held as sacred by The Cult of R'Lyeh on Earth. It is on this basis that the HP Lovecraft Tarot, a classic work of underground religious literature and art with sample cards being used in illustrating The Necronomicon Cycle, shows itself as one of the most important documents published to represent The Necronomicon and as a document that can be seen to represent the theoretical basis of truth. This encyclopedic Work discusses the whole of the Lovecraftian system and allows the reader to interpret major decks of the occult and the standard, common pack of playing cards within a Lovecraftian context. For example, Yog-Sothoth. stands as the The High Priestess of occult decks and Cultes Des Gouls as the Eight of Wands of standard playing card decks.The Necronomicon Cycle establishes a fresh perspective of religion, specifically in terms of being a newly established occult temple of belief. The Cult of R'Lyeh on Earth believe that we here establish a new principle in the theory of the occult.

He has completed studying Theology and Religious Studies at Undergraduate Level at Roehampton University, London, for which he was awarded an academic reward and an Honour.

Von came from a deeply troubled past so when her life started to have a lot of heartaches she just assumed it was because of generational curses or past sin but when a dear friend, who is a prophet by the name of Paul, came over with his wife, Darcy, to see Michael and Von and he prayed with them Michael knew he wasn't being honest with a sexual encounter he had with a spirit that he developed a soul tie with. From that moment on so many things just started to fall into place and so many questions Von has had for years were all being answered. This story goes deep into the evil and dangers of not repenting of ungodly soul ties

Few things are as interesting to us as our own bodies and, by extension, our own identities. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the relationship between the body, environment and society. Reflecting upon these developments, this book examines the role of the body in human identification, in the forging of identities, and the ways in which it embodies our social worlds. The approach is integrative, taking a uniquely biological perspective and reflecting on current discourse in the social sciences. With particular reference to bioarchaeology and forensic science, the authors focus on the construction and categorisation of the body within scientific and popular discourse, examining its many tissues, from the outermost to the innermost, from the skin to DNA. Synthesising two, traditionally disparate, strands of research, this is a valuable contribution to research on human identification and the embodiment of identity.
