Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Witch hunts were not driven by chaos.They were driven by paperwork.In early modern England, persecution did not begin with mobs, hysteria, or superstition. It began with manuals-carefully written legal handbooks that taught ordinary country magistrates how to identify invisible crimes.The Devil's Checklist uncovers how English common law quietly engineered the witch hunt by transforming rumor into evidence, suspicion into procedure, and fear into official policy. As the role of the Justice of the Peace became professionalized, legal guides such as The Country Justice provided step-by-step instructions for investigating witchcraft-standardizing confessions, bodily searches, child testimony, and 'spectral' proof.What emerged was not religious frenzy, but an efficient administrative system.A checklist.Drawing on trial records, legal manuals, and landmark cases such as Pendle and Lancaster, this book reveals how bureaucracy-not belief-built the machinery of persecution. Long before modern surveillance states, early English law perfected a method for documenting the unseen.This is not a book about superstition.It is a book about systems.Perfect for readers of legal history, witch trial scholarship, true crime, and the dark origins of state power, The Devil's Checklist exposes how professional procedure outlived the pyre-and why its logic still echoes today.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - When children's words become weapons, truth is the first casualty.In 1593, in the quiet English village of Warboys, a group of children accused their neighbors of witchcraft. What followed was not chaos-but a carefully guided process that transformed suggestion into certainty, imagination into evidence, and fear into law.Devil in the Details is a forensic investigation into one of the most disturbing witch trials in English history. Drawing on surviving court records, interrogation transcripts, and modern linguistic analysis, this book reveals how leading questions, authority pressure, and social expectation combined to manufacture a deadly narrative of guilt.Rather than treating the Warboys accusations as superstition or madness, this book exposes the mechanics of false confession-how adults and institutions unknowingly collaborated with vulnerable minds to co-author a reality that felt true to everyone involved.This is not just a history of witch trials.It is a study of: - How testimony is shaped under pressure- How power scripts memory- How systems of justice can create truth instead of discovering itEssential reading for fans of historical true crime, legal history, psychology of testimony, and anyone concerned with how easily fear can replace evidence.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In medieval England, it became treason not to act-but to imagine.In 1441, Eleanor Cobham, Duchess of Gloucester and potential queen, was accused of using astrology and necromancy to predict the death of King Henry VI. What followed was not merely a scandal-it was a legal revolution.In Imagining the King's Death, historian Marcus Calder reconstructs the most consequential witchcraft trial in English history: the moment sorcery crossed from church courts into the machinery of the state. By reclassifying prophecy as 'imagining the king's death,' the Lancastrian regime transformed belief into evidence and thought into treason.Through court records, parliamentary statutes, and contemporary chronicles, this book reveals how the Crown weaponized magic accusations to eliminate political rivals, dismantle noblewomen's power, and establish a new category of crime-secular witchcraft, prosecuted in the name of national security rather than theology.This is the story of how the English state learned to fear the invisible.Written with the tension of a true-crime investigation and the rigor of legal history, Imagining the King's Death exposes the blueprint that later witch hunts would follow-from Tudor England to the early modern world.Ideal for readers interested in: - Medieval witch trials- Political repression and treason law- Eleanor Cobham and the Lancastrian court- The origins of secular surveillance and thought crime- History that reads like a courtroom thriller.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Before history was verified, it was printed.In seventeenth-century England, the printing press did more than spread news-it manufactured belief. Cheap pamphlets, recycled woodcuts, and anonymous printers flooded the streets with 'ancient' prophecies that were anything but old. These texts shaped fear, fueled witch trials, and rewrote political reality long before the public had tools to question what they read.The Gutenberg Ghost uncovers how early print culture turned rumor into authority and fiction into historical 'fact.' At the center of this transformation stands Mother Shipton-not as a medieval prophet, but as a commercial invention engineered to sell fear during war, plague, and political collapse.Drawing on pamphlets, typography, distribution networks, and media psychology, this book reveals: - How printers fabricated ancient voices to bypass censorship- Why the printed word was trusted over lived experience- How folklore was reshaped into legal and political evidence- And how these early media tactics echo in today's misinformation economyThis is not a story about prophecy.It is the story of how the medium itself learned to haunt the truth.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Stop memorizing lab values as disconnected numbers. Start understanding what they are actually telling you.A laboratory report can contain dozens of values-but knowing the reference range is only the beginning.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - When water quality drifts, the consequences can spread across an entire plant-from lost efficiency and corrosion to unplanned downtime and safety risk.Industrial Water Treatment Handbook gives engineers, operators, and technical specialists a structured way to understand, monitor, and improve complex utility networks. Across 15 focused chapters, it connects water chemistry with equipment condition, mass and heat balances, measurement quality, process reliability, public-health protection, environmental control, and responsible program governance.Designed for plant engineers, utility supervisors, water-treatment specialists, maintenance leaders, and advanced technical trainees, the material supports structured learning, field diagnosis, program reviews, and informed discussions with laboratories, suppliers, and qualified professionals. Each section emphasizes mechanisms, operating boundaries, verification, and site-specific engineering judgment.Inside this handbook, you'll discover how to: - Master plant-wide mapping and water-balance methods that reveal hidden losses, unreliable measurements, cross-unit effects, and opportunities for recovery or reuse.- Build defensible sampling, laboratory, and online-monitoring programs so operating decisions are based on representative data, stated uncertainty, and meaningful action limits.- Evaluate complete treatment trains involving clarification, filtration, softening, ion exchange, demineralization, reverse osmosis, electrodeionization, and high-purity production.- Diagnose scale, corrosion, fouling, carryover, deposits, and performance excursions by mechanism instead of relying on symptoms or one-size-fits-all chemical programs.- Strengthen steam-cycle performance through better feedwater control, deaeration, internal chemistry, blowdown management, condensate return, and steam-purity verification.- Improve recirculating-system reliability by connecting thermodynamics, cycles of concentration, heat-exchanger performance, microbiological control, Legionella risk management, and seasonal operation.- Create a practical governance system for alarms, troubleshooting, calibration, supplier oversight, management of change, cost optimization, resilience, and continuous improvement.Worked calculations, field alerts, diagnostic investigations, operating windows, core equations, sampling checklists, a standards crosswalk, and a technical glossary make the material useful for both structured study and field reference.Equip yourself to make safer, clearer, evidence-based decisions across the entire plant utility system.
