The Reformed (or Calvinist) universities of sixteenth and seventeenth-century Europe hosted rich, Latin-language conversations on the nature of politics, the powers of kings and magistrates, resistance, revolution, and religious warfare. Nevertheless, it is too often assumed that Reformed political thought did not develop beyond John Calvin’s Institutes of 1559. This book remedies this problem, presenting extracts from major Reformed theologians and intellectuals (including Peter Martyr Vermigli, Guillaume de Buc, David Pareus, Lambert Daneau, and Bartholomäus Keckermann) which demonstrate both continuity and change in Reformed political argument. These men taught in France, the Holy Roman Empire, the Low Countries, and England, between the 1540s and 1660s, but they were read in universities throughout the North Atlantic world into the eighteenth century. Should all political action be subject to God’s direct command? Were humans capable of using their own God-given reason to tell right from wrong? Was it ever just to resist tyrants? Was religious difference enough by itself to justify war? Their political doctrines often aroused the greatest controversy in their own time; this is generally the first time that these extracts from their works have been translated into English. These texts and translations are accompanied by an introduction placing these authors in the context of the great European religious wars, advice on further reading, and a full bibliography.

Air Vice-Marshal Don Bennett CB CBE DSO FRAeS is best known\nas the Australian commander of the Royal Air Force's elite Path Finder Force in\nthe Second World War. His drive, determination and passion for excellence saw\nhim play a principal role in prosecuting the bombing campaign against Nazi\nGermany.\n\n\n\nYet, the full story of his life has never been\ncomprehensively explored. Few can recount his exploits as a pioneering aviator,\nor know why he was regarded as the most technically brilliant airman of his\ngeneration. Fewer still know the man's background, interests, passions and\nobsessions, or what drove him to his many aviation achievements.\n\n\n\nRelentless Skies, Volume I: The Most Efficient Airman,\nexplores Bennett's life up to 1942. New light is shed on his early years, pilot\ntraining, participation in the Centenary Air Race, setting world records in the\nseaplane Mercury, the 1940 rescue of the Polish General Staff from France and\nhow he survived being shot down whilst attacking the Tirpitz.\n\n\n\nBinding together this series of extraordinary events and\nachievements is, crucially, an exploration of Bennett's character and how it\ninfluenced his choices, relationships and approach to leadership. Unparalleled\naccess to the Bennett archive has enabled biographer Ian Campbell to reveal the\nmany facets of one of Australia's greatest, and often misunderstood, wartime\nleaders.\n\n\n\nVolume II: An Exacting Task will explore\nBennett's time leading the Path Finder Force, and his post-war career.

A Foreign Affairs Best Book of 2022 \n\n\nIn 1935, Fascist Italy invaded the sovereign state of Ethiopia--a war of conquest that triggered a chain of events culminating in the Second World War. In this stunning and highly original tale of two Churches, historian Ian Campbell brings a whole new perspective to the story, revealing that bishops of the Italian Catholic Church facilitated the invasion by sanctifying it as a crusade against the world's second-oldest national Church. Cardinals and archbishops rallied the support of Catholic Italy for Il Duce's invading armies by denouncing Ethiopian Christians as heretics and schismatics, and announcing that the onslaught was an assignment from God.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCampbell marshalls evidence from three decades of research to expose the martyrdom of thousands of clergy of the venerable Ethiopian Church, the burning and looting of hundreds of Ethiopia's ancient monasteries and churches, and the instigation and arming of a jihad against Ethiopian Christendom, the likes of which had not been seen since the Middle Ages.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFinally, Holy War traces how, after Italy's surrender to the Allies, the horrors of this pogrom were swept under the carpet of history, and the leading culprits put on the road to sainthood.

In February 1937, following an abortive attack by a handful of insurgents on Mussolini's High Command in Italian-occupied Ethiopia, 'repression squads' of armed Blackshirts and Fascist civilians were unleashed on the defenceless residents of Addis Ababa. In three terror-filled days and nights of arson, murder and looting, thousands of innocent and unsuspecting men, women and children were roasted alive, shot, bludgeoned, stabbed to death, or blown to pieces with hand-grenades. Meanwhile the notorious Viceroy Rodolfo Graziani, infamous for his atrocities in Libya, took the opportunity to add to the carnage by eliminating the intelligentsia and nobility of the ancient Ethiopian empire in a pogrom that swept across the land. In a richly illustrated and ground-breaking work backed up by meticulous and scholarly research, Ian Campbell reconstructs and analyses one of Fascist Italy's least known atrocities, which he estimates eliminated 19-20 per cent of the capital's population.He exposes the hitherto little known cover-up conducted at the highest levels of the British government, which enabled the facts of one of the most hideous civilian massacres of all time to be concealed, and the perpetrators to walk free.

Il racconto dettagliato e impressionante di una delle peggiori atrocità della storia coloniale del Novecento, per la quale nessun italiano è stato mai processato.\r\n«La più autorevole ricostruzione di una barbarie troppo a lungo trascurata.» - Financial Times\r\n«Il primo resoconto completo di un massacro che anticipa i crimini nazisti più che ricordare le atrocità dell'Europa coloniale. Da tempo il governo etiope ritiene che il suo popolo meriti delle scuse.» - The Economist\r\n\r\nCi sono pagine della storia d'Italia che conosciamo ormai a memoria, e altre su cui ancora non è stata scritta la parola \"fine\". E poi ci sono le pagine dimenticate, relegate all'oblio perché troppo dolorose. Anche quelle, però, fanno parte del nostro passato. In questo caso, del nostro passato di \"potenza imperialista\". La mattina del 19 febbraio 1937, ad Addis Abeba, il viceré Rodolfo Graziani e le autorità italiane che da nove mesi governano un terzo dell'Etiopia celebrano la nascita del primo figlio maschio del principe Umberto di Savoia. Ma un gruppo d'insorti riesce a superare i controlli e, all'improvviso, otto bombe a mano seminano il caos tra quei notabili. Di fronte al bilancio - sette morti e decine di feriti, compreso lo stesso Graziani - il Duce ordina la repressione: \"Tutti i civili e religiosi comunque sospetti devono essere passati per le armi\". È così che si scatena uno dei massacri più ignobili della parentesi imperialista italiana: giorni di terrore, tra omicidi e saccheggi, durante i quali migliaia di innocenti vengono trucidati con sistematica brutalità. Repressione che culmina, nel maggio dello stesso anno, con l'eccidio di centinaia di monaci, preti e pellegrini cristiani della Chiesa etiope, tutti disarmati, radunati nel monastero di Debra Libanos. Intanto, le Camicie nere ne approfittano per azzerare l'intellighenzia del Paese, in un vero e proprio pogrom. Con precisione accademica e passo narrativo, Ian Campell ricostruisce in questo saggio una delle atrocità meno conosciute del regime fascista, analizzandone premesse e conseguenze, senza fare sconti a nessuno. Prefazione di Richard Pankhurst.

This clear and concise textbook introduces the huge field of polymer science to students taking degree courses in chemistry, material science and related subjects covering polymers. By focusing on the few major polymers, for example polystyrene and PVC, which are in common use and which the students will recognise, the book illustrates simply the basic principles of polymer science. It looks at the factors which give rise to the special properties of polymers, and\nemphasizes how polymer molecules can be synthesised with different sizes and architectures to tailor the properties of the resulting material. The later chapters then introduce a wide range of polymers some with special applications now and others with exciting potential for the future. There are\nexercises at the end of each chapter.

Rooted in Evil by Ann Granger is set in the Cotswold village of Weston Saint Ambrose and features Inspector Jess Campbell and Superintendent Ian Carter in their fifth murder mystery.\n\nWhen the body of a man, with his brains blown out, is found in a Cotswold wood it looks like suicide.
