"Are the Scots violent? This fascinating study explores Scottish identities using a rich mix of historical court records, parliamentary papers, and contemporary newspapers. The book gets behind cultural representations to explore the reality of life, crime, and violence. It will be a great addition to our understandings of Scotland and its long and rich history."

- Professor Barry Godfrey, University of Liverpool
"Professor Kilday's book is a landmark study. Based on an impressive array of original sources, it is the first to examine Scottish criminality in such depth and range over three centuries of time.In the process, myths are punctured and orthodoxies undermined - a seminal volume by any standards."
- Professor Emeritus Sir Tom Devine HonMRIA FRSE FBA, The University of Edinburgh
"This important book advances our understanding of the prosecution and punishment of violent crime, by providing a much needed long-term perspective on　the ways in which crimes such as　assault, sexual violence, communal violence and homicide, have been dealt with. In addition, Kilday’s study makes a significant contribution to our knowledge of crime and criminal justice in Scotland."

- Professor Heather Shore, School of Cultural Studies & Humanities, Leeds Beckett University 

"Was Scotland a violent nation? Based on an unprecedented longitudinal analysis of court records over three centuries, this study combines quantitative data with detailed case studies to challenge existing stereotypes and present a nuanced account of the nature and extent of violent crime in Scotland’s past."
- Professor Robert Shoemaker, Department of History, The University of Sheffield

The Violent North?

Crime in Scotland 1660-1960

"This is a rich, rigorously argued, and provocative volume that makes a distinctive new contribution to the Foucauldian feminist literature on sex crimes . . . At every turn, the argumentation is thoughtful, measured and politically dedicated to advancing feminist alternatives to punishment. For Foucauldians, it offers a rigorous engagement with Foucault's writings on rape and paedophilia, and feminists responses to them. For any reader interested in feminism, sex crimes, and criminal punishment, it extends Foucauldian insights to new issues (such as sex work, animal sexual abuse and serial killers) in ways that will make this book an indispensable resource for subsequent debates and research on crime, punishment, and justice." – Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"Taylor’s powerful scholarly intervention uses Foucault’s work—while being critical of it—to problematize feminist conceptions of the relation between sex and justice and promises to be a landmark work in the debates around Foucault’s relation to feminism." – Mark G. E. Kelly, Western Sydney University
"Chloë Taylor has written an exciting critique of feminism’s responses to sex crimes. Even in the face of atrocious sexual violence, the usual calls for more police, harsher sentences, and sustained mass imprisonment are thoroughly mistaken. Instead, Taylor demonstrates that we need to respond without criminalizing or pathologizing sex offenders, and gives concrete examples how we can so." – Frieder Vogelmann, University of Bremen

&ldquo;An ambitious, wonderful novel that illuminates the modern U.S.-Mexican border.&rdquo; &mdash;Chicago Tribune&#160;&ldquo;Crossers is a novel of grief and recovery, a love story, a thriller, but it is most of all a novel about a place, one that can break your heart and make it soar.&rdquo; &mdash;St. Petersburg Times&#160;&#160;&ldquo;A complex story, unfolding in varying viewpoints, all of them as rich and real as a home movie.&rdquo; &mdash;The Dallas Morning News&#160;&#160;&ldquo;[A] remarkably ambitious book that packs a meaty, multi-generational story with enough scope, insight and realism to illuminate the modern U.S.&mdash;Mexican border. . . . Enthralling.&rdquo; &mdash;The Washington Post Book Review&#160;&ldquo;Caputo gives us characters with credibility and individuality. . . . An intense, clear-sighted account of the times in which we live, of 9/11, the Iraq war, the &lsquo;war on drugs&rsquo; and the conflict over illegal immigration. Caputo succeeds in showing how our contemporary paranoia and homeland insecurity are rooted in the inescapable past.&rdquo; &mdash;San Francisco Chronicle&#160;&#160;&ldquo;A satisfying story, with memorable characters moving against a backdrop of beauty and brutality.&rdquo; &mdash;The Boston Globe &#160;&#160;&ldquo;A historical story line involving the grandfather of Gil and Blaine, a legendary Old West lawman and killer . . . [is] so strong that it could be Mark Twain.&rdquo; &mdash;Los Angeles Times &#160;&ldquo;Caputo tells Ben&rsquo;s story with power and verisimilitude. . . . The reason I enjoyed Crossers as much as I did . . . is that it hints at how difficult it can be to draw conclusions&mdash;about evil, about Ben, and above all about the crossers themselves.&rdquo; &mdash;William T. Vollmann, The New York Times Book Review &#160;&ldquo;Caputo . . . has long focused his fiction on the moral ambiguities that have accompanied violent conflicts around the world&mdash;Vietnam, the Sudan, Iraq. With Crossers, he brings the war home, powerfully evoking an America marked by complexities, contradictions and an uncomfortable relationship with its own past.&rdquo; &mdash;BookPage &#160;&ldquo;Crossers takes us through generations of Arizona history with understanding, intelligence and beautiful language. . . . [Caputo&rsquo;s] feet and eyes are upon these great lands, and from the beauty of his writing, it&rsquo;s clear his heart is, too.&rdquo; &mdash;Tucson Weekly &ldquo;[A] novel of reflection and adventure. . . . Caputo is a wonderful writer, and you come away from his stories the better for your time spent.&rdquo; &mdash;The Decatur Daily &ldquo;Caputo writes with authority about all aspects of his story, including the drug and immigrant smuggling trades, what it was like for a soldier in the Mexican Revolution, how the Mexican-American border was once a fluid boundary, and the details of ranching in contemporary times and a hundred years ago. Crossers provides an accurate portrait of the violence, greed, and desperation that has cropped up around the border for generations. . . . A nuanced, panoramic portrait of lives lived and lost on the Mexican-American border.&rdquo; &mdash;New West&#160;&#160;

La fête de Madeleine: poème

While philosophical theology may be indifferent to personal belief, radical philosophical theology explicates such belief and personal reception of revelation as a fact. Balázs Mezei analyzes philosophically revelation, which theology as a discipline presupposes. If it is at all meaningful to speak of revelation, then revelation must be real, unavoidable, inimitable, and inevitably self-referential. In employing a variety of philosophical methods, this book opens the eyes to what Christian practice is doing: analytical method clarifies the usage and intentions of standard terms; historical method brings century old debates to life, such as Platonism and German Idealism; phenomenology conveys the reality of concepts like ‘radical’ or ‘kenosis’ (self-emptying of the divine). It was Enlightenment with its dismissal of the sources and modes of divine revelation, i.e., the basics of Christian religion, which yielded a philosophy of the concept of revelation as such. Mezei’s study unveils the irony that the demise of revelation in Enlightenment critique was itself a kenosis.
