The seas are filled with migrants risking their lives on perilous
crossings; Europe is engulfed by xenophobia and fear. In the cities
and towns, in the schools and shops, strange children are starting
to appear: enigmatic and unnerving, they disappear like ghosts,
causing uproar. Amid mounting paranoia, Khaled, a young teenager
from a war-torn Middle Eastern country, by chance meets Karolina in
a discount store in Brussels. She buys him a red suitcase, and they
part ways: Karolina to both mourn and search for her missing son,
whose laptop betrays his entanglement with extremist groups; Khaled
to head south, against the flow of other refugees - travelling with
urgent intent, desperately protecting the contents of his suitcase.
At once a ghost story, a morality tale and a quest narrative, From
Another World is a striking reflection on loss, grief and the
struggle to brave love in a world seized by fury.

Originally published in 1938, this book contains an account of Sir
William Trumbull's two years as extraordinary envoy to France
during the reign of James II. Clark draws heavily on Trumbull's
accounts and letters to create a detailed picture of his active
working life in France, occasionally against the interests of his
monarch in defence of French Protestants. This book will be of
value to anyone with an interest in Stuart diplomacy and the
history of Anglo-French relations.
Originally published in 1932, this book presents an account of the

included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in
Jansenism and European history.

Everyday Citizenship and People with Dementia prioritises the
ordinary lives of people with dementia, and thereby broadens the
agenda towards everyday citizenship. The contributors bring to the
fore the idea that a person living with dementia has multiple
opinions, identities and a stake in society. The notion of everyday
citizenship is used to shift the focus away from care settings and
diagnostic and post-diagnostic support - all of which are
important, of course - to the 'normal' everyday routines and
settings of a person's life. The notion of citizenship is mobilised
within a range of contexts from dealing with the welfare system to
living and being a part of a neighbourhood. Each chapter focuses on
everyday citizenship from the perspective of people living with
dementia and shows how citizenship is a necessity for a vibrant,
inclusive society. The discussion is informed by empirically based
work and authored by experts from different parts of the world,
including Canadian and Scots citizens who are living with dementia.
The stress, throughout the book, is that the everyday and mundane
is not only important in a practical sense but also in a political
one. The book is thus for all interested in current debates about
equality and the rights of people with dementia.
