Scorched earth: environmental warfare as a crime against humanity and nature /Emmanuel Kreike. A global history of environmental warfare and the case for why it should be a crime. This book traces the history of scorched earth, military inundations, and armies living off the land from the sixteenth to the twentieth century, arguing that the resulting deliberate destruction of the environment – environcide–constitutes total war and is a crime against humanity and nature. In this sweeping global history, the author shows how religious war in Europe transformed Holland into a desolate swamp where hunger and the black death ruled. He describes how Spanish conquistadores exploited the irrigation works and expansive agricultural terraces of the Aztecs and Incas, triggering a humanitarian crisis of catastrophic proportions. The book also demonstrates how environmental warfare has continued unabated into the modern era. Shedding light on the premodern origins and the lasting consequences of total war, this book explains why ecocide and genocide are not separate phenomena, and why international law must recognize environmental warfare as a violation of human rights.

Taliessin through Logres /by Charles Williams. Taliessin through Logres ; and, The region of the summer stars /by Charles Williams. Taliessin through Logres and The Region of the Summer Stars contain Williams’ Grail poems, a reworking of the theme of the Holy Grail into a poetic myth of unusual wisdom and contemporary significance. It is a unique handling, a fresh vision, of an old subject-matter which has been almost completely neglected in English literature. When Taliessin through Logres was published in 1938, it received widespread critical acclaim. Alongside its partner companion The Region of the Summer Stars, it stands as one of the most profound and challenging works in Williams’ body of work–and one of the most important to understanding him fully. TThe poetry is technically virtuosic, musically beautiful, and conceptually complex. It is densely packed with layers of symbolism and rich imagery that are not initially easy to understand, but that scintillate with ever greater brilliance upon repeated readings.

Wen hua shi ying yu Zhongguo Jidu tu: 1860 zhi 1911 nian /Xing Fuzeng zhu. Cultural Adaptation and Chinese Christians (1860-1911)Chinese Christians in the nineteenth century give us the impression that they were either ‘church eaters’ who converted for profit, or a group of faceless personalities who were ‘mouthpieces’ attached to Western missionaries. This book attempts to explore, from the perspective of ‘cultural adaptation’, how educated Chinese Christians in the late Qing Dynasty faced the differences between the foreign and local cultures in the context of the arrival of Christian culture from the east, and how they endured the resulting impact. Their struggles and introspection in the search for the integration of Christianity and Chinese culture have shaped Chinese Christian identity, and laid the foundation for the work of authenticity and contextualisation of the church in the Republic of China
