Vampires, chilling supernatural creatures of the night – do they really exist?

In this new and thought-provoking book, illustrated with many never before seen photographs and drawing on extensive original research, paranormal historian Paul Adams joins writer and ghost-hunter Peter Underwood in a detailed and fascinating exploration of the history of British vampirism in both fact and fiction; a modern guide where every page is truly written in blood.

Free Download Sean McGlynn, "Blood Cries Afar: The Forgotten Invasion of England 1216"
English | ISBN: 0752454625 | 2011 | 256 pages | EPUB | 6 MB
150 years after the Norman Conquest, history came within a hair’s breadth of repeating itself. In 1216, taking advantage of the turmoil created in England by King John’s inept rule, Prince Louis of France invaded England and allied with English rebels. The prize was the crown of England. Within months Louis had seized control of one-third of the country, including London. This is the first book to cover the bloody events of the invasion, one of the most dramatic but most overlooked episodes of British history. The text vividly describes the campaigns, sieges, battles and atrocities of the invasion and its colourful leaders – Louis the Lion, King John, William Marshal, and the mercenaries Fawkes de Béauté and Eustace the Monk – to offer the first detailed military analysis of this epic struggle for England.

Free Download Michael Twomey, "Irish Heart, English Blood"
English | ISBN: 1845888227 | 2014 | 224 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Youghal town, in County Cork, has a long history which predates most others in Ireland. The area was settled by Vikings, and later the town was fortified with walls built by the Normans in the 1100s. For centuries after, the town was a hub of trading activity and a vital port during the early stages of the English empire’s expansion. This book looks at a period which saw all the elements and dynamics of this history come together in the town, from the Mayorship of Sir Walter Raleigh in 1586, to the Witch trial of Florence Newton in 1661, taking in en route, Richard Boyle (the first millionaire colonialist), the Munster rebellion, the "burnings" by Lord Inchiquin, Cromwell’s invasion, and Robert Boyle’s chemistry.

Blood for Thought The Reinvention of Sacrifice in Early Rabbinic Literature


Free Download Blood for Thought: The Reinvention of Sacrifice in Early Rabbinic Literature by Mira Balberg
English | September 26, 2017 | ISBN: 0520295927 | 304 pages | PDF | 4.46 Mb
Blood for Thoughtdelves into a relatively unexplored area of rabbinic literature: the vast corpus of laws, regulations, and instructions pertaining to sacrificial rituals. Mira Balberg traces and analyzes the ways in which the early rabbis interpreted and conceived of biblical sacrifices, reinventing them as a site through which to negotiate intellectual, cultural, and religious trends and practices in their surrounding world. Rather than viewing the rabbinic project as an attempt to generate a nonsacrificial version of Judaism, she argues that the rabbis developed a new sacrificial Jewish tradition altogether, consisting of not merely substitutes to sacrifice but elaborate practical manuals that redefined the processes themselves, radically transforming the meanings of sacrifice, its efficacy, and its value.

The Blood-Brain Barrier New Research


Free Download Pedro A. Montenegro, "The Blood-Brain Barrier: New Research "
English | ISBN: 1621007669 | 2012 | 332 pages | PDF | 7 MB
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a highly regulated system that maintains brain allostasis. BBB achieves its main function by transporting blood to brain glucose, amino acids and other molecules needed for proper neural physiology, while extruding from the brain molecules derived from neural and glial metabolism that may have neurotoxic properties. In this book, the authors present topical research in the study of blood-brain barriers including their local and temporal regulation during normal and altered physiological states; the therapeutic opportunities of efflux-transporters at the blood-brain barrier; novel strategies to restore blood-brain barrier integrity after brain injury; evaluation of the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier in neurological diseases and blood-brain barrier in hepatic encephalopathy
