    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. The real skill is understanding what the test measures, why a value may be high or low, how related results fit together, and what the overall pattern may mean in clinical context.Lab Values Made Clear was created to make that process easier.Written for nursing, medical, pharmacy, and allied health students-as well as healthcare professionals who want a practical refresher-this guide breaks laboratory interpretation into clear, manageable concepts without burying the reader in unnecessary complexity.Inside, you'll explore essential laboratory testing across major clinical areas, including: CBC & Hematology - Understand RBCs, WBCs, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, indices, anemia patterns, and more.Electrolytes & Fluid Balance - Make sense of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, and related abnormalities.Kidney & Liver Function - Connect creatinine, BUN, eGFR, AST, ALT, ALP, bilirubin, proteins, and other markers to organ function.Glucose & Diabetes Testing - Understand glucose, A1C, and other important metabolic findings.Cardiac Markers & Lipids - Learn the clinical significance of troponins, BNP, cholesterol studies, and related tests.Thyroid & Endocrine Tests - Develop a clearer approach to TSH, thyroid hormones, cortisol, and other endocrine markers.Coagulation, ABGs & Acid-Base Balance - Work through PT/INR, aPTT, blood gases, oxygenation, and common acid-base patterns.You'll also cover urinalysis, infection and inflammatory markers, pancreatic and gastrointestinal tests, vitamins, minerals, nutritional studies, and frequently misinterpreted high-yield laboratory findings.But this isn't simply a collection of normal ranges.Throughout the book, you'll learn to: Understand what each test actually measures.Interpret high and low results in context.Recognize patterns across related laboratory values.Connect the numbers to physiology and patient presentation.Apply your knowledge through practical clinical examples and review material.Whether you're preparing for clinical rotations, strengthening your laboratory interpretation skills, reviewing for an exam, or trying to become more confident when looking at patient results, Lab Values Made Clear gives you a structured way to turn numbers into understanding.Don't just memorize the values. Learn to read the story behind them.

    Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 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 trialsPolitical repression and treason lawEleanor Cobham and the Lancastrian courtThe origins of secular surveillance and thought crimeHistory that reads like a courtroom thriller This item is printed on demand.

    Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 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 censorshipWhy the printed word was trusted over lived experienceHow folklore was reshaped into legal and political evidenceAnd 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.
