| "Set within the broader context of post-war Austria and the re-education initiatives set up by the Allied forces particularly the US this book investigates the art and architecture scene in Vienna to ask how this can inform our broader understanding of architectural Postmodernism The book focuses on the outputs of the Austrian artist and architect Hans Hollein and on his appropriation as a Postmodernist figure In Vienna the circles of radical art and architecture were not distinct and Hollein&39;s claim that Everything is Architecture&39; was symptomatic of this intermixing of creative practices Austria&39;s proximity to the so-called Iron Curtain&39; and its post-war history of four-power occupation gave a heightened sense of menace that emerged strongly in Viennese art in the Cold War era Seen as a collective entity Hans Hollein&39;s works across architecture art writing exhibition design and publishing clearly require a more diverse complex and culturally nuanced account of architectural Postmodernism than that offered by critics at the time Across the five chapters Hollein&39;s outputs are viewed not as individual projects but as symptomatic of Austria&39;s attempts to come to terms with its Nazi past and to establish a post-war identity"

| "Covering the development of the atomic bomb during the Second World War the origins and early course of the Cold War and the advent of the hydrogen bomb in the early 1950s Churchill and the Bomb in War and Cold War explores a still neglected aspect of Winston Churchill's career - his relationship with and thinking on nuclear weapons Kevin Ruane shows how Churchill went from regarding the bomb as a weapon of war in the struggle with Nazi Germany to viewing it as a weapon of communist containment (and even punishment) in the early Cold War before in the 1950s advocating and arguably pioneering mutually assured destruction as the key to preventing the Cold War flaring into a calamitous nuclear war While other studies of Churchill have touched on his evolving views on nuclear weapons few historians have given this hugely important issue the kind of dedicated and sustained treatment it deserves In Churchill and the Bomb in War and Cold War however Kevin Ruane has undertaken extensive primary research in Britain the United States and Europe and accessed a wide array of secondary literature in producing an immensely readable yet detailed insightful and provocative account of Churchill's nuclear hopes and fears"

| "To the people of rural Britain hares are deeply beloved perhaps above all other animals They thrive in abundance in imagery but can be maddeningly elusive in reality In our stories - ancient and modern - they are magical uncanny and illogical beings which commune with the moon vanish at will and lose their minds when spring arrives Yet despite the breadth and depth of its legends the brown hare of the lowlands is a relative newcomer to our islands and our real' ancient hare is the mountain hare of the most unforgiving high mountainsides Hares of myth have godly powers but real earthbound hares walk a dangerous line - they are small animals with many predators but have no burrow or tunnel to shelter them from danger They survive by a combination of two skills honed to unimaginable extremes - hiding in plain sight and running faster than anything and anyone The need to excel as hiders and runners ultimately directs every aspect of hare biology and behaviour as well as inspiring our own wild ideas about hare-kind This book explores hares as they are and as we imagine them and the long and often bloody history of our association with these enigmatic animals Elegant studies of molecular biology and biomechanical physics help us understand how hares are put together while centuries of game estate records reveal how humans have commodified and exploited them But it is ultimately the moments spent in the company of wild hares that allow us to bring together myth and reality to celebrate the magic of the living animal"

| "The year 1818 saw the publication of one of the most influential science-fiction stories of all time Frankenstein Or Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley had a huge impact on gothic horror and science fiction genres The name Frankenstein has become part of our everyday language often used in derogatory terms to describe scientists who have overstepped a perceived moral line But how did a 19-year-old woman with no formal education come up with the idea for an extraordinary novel such as Frankenstein? The period 1790-1820 saw huge advances in our understanding of electricity and physiology Sensational science demonstrations caught the imagination of the general public and newspapers were full of lurid tales of murderers and resurrectionists It is unlikely that Frankenstein would have been successful in his attempts to create life back in 1818 However advances in medical science mean we have overcome many of the stumbling blocks that would have thwarted his ambition We can resuscitate people using defibrillators we can save lives using blood transfusions and we can prolong life through organ transplants - these procedures are nowadays considered almost routine Many of these modern achievements are a direct result of 19th century scientists conducting their gruesome experiments on the dead Making the Monster explores the science behind Shelley's book From tales of reanimated zombie kittens to electrical experiments on human cadavers Kathryn Harkup examines the science and scientists that influenced Mary Shelley and inspired her most famous creation Victor Frankenstein While thankfully we are still far from being able to recreate Victor's 'creature' scientists have tried to create the building blocks of life and the dream of creating life-forms from scratch is now tantalisingly close"
