In 1621, in one of the earliest campaigns of the Thirty Years' War,
the South German principality of the Upper Palatinate was invaded
and annexed by Maximilian of Bavaria, director of the Catholic
League. In the subsequent years the eyes of Europe looked to the
fate of this erstwhile hub of the 'Calvinist international', as
Maximilian steadily moved to convert its population to Catholicism.
This study is the first account in English to focus on this
important instance of forced conversion and the first account in
any language to place the political impact of the Thirty Years' War
into the broader context of the Upper-Palatinate's religious
culture examined over the longue duree, from the later sixteenth to
the mid-eighteenth centuries. The book analyses the rich
unpublished sources of church and state from Bavarian and Roman
archives, as well as printed texts in varied genres to reconstruct
the region's sacred system and to gauge the effectiveness of the
campaign of conversion. This allows the study to address questions
of how the re-catholicisation was achieved, how a religious culture
infused with the spirit of the Counter Reformation developed and
how this change shaped the identity of its people. More than this,
however, the book also uses the Upper Palatinate case-study to draw
broader conclusions about the strengths and limitations of the
Confessional model, and suggests other ways of looking at religious
change and identity formation in early modern Europe which embraces
popular religious culture and voluntary religion, as well coercion.
As such the book offers much, not only to scholars of early modern
Germany, but to all with an interest in the formation, adoption and
imposition of religious identity during this period.

Crime reporter Charlie Foster teams up with his friends Professor
Ian Robertson MD (retired) and John Drake SAS (retired)to try and
solve the mysterious reappearance of the legendary 'Spring-heeled
Jack'. In the meanwhile, Detective Inspector Fred Tingwell is busy
dealing with a murderer who is intent on shortening the lives of
prostitutes in the Whitechapel area of London. The murderers
actions have a striking similarity to 'Jack the Ripper' of old.
Together, with his old mate Fred Tingwell, Charlie Foster & Co
try to solve the riddle which is 'Spring-heeled Jack' and the
perplexing case of the new Whitechapel murderer. All the while,
Charle's powers grow...
Charlie Foster and The Guardians of Time Investigative journalist,
Charlie Foster, is forced into premature retirement after a
physical confrontation with the owner of Dixons News Agency - the
place he'd worked for most of his life. His colleague and protege,
the beautiful Mabel Derbyshire, suggests he 'goes it alone' and
work freelance. Over the next week or so, Charlie investigates the
disappearance of a young lad on a Scottish moor and the discovery
of a 'strange' body in the same area. When governmental
intervention insists he 'back off', it's like a red rag to a bull
where Charlie Foster is concerned. Charlie forms an unlikely
alliance with a professor of physics and a retired director of the
Secret Intelligence Service (S.I.S.). Together - with his pal D.C.I
Fred Tingwell - Charlie & Co., investigate the workings of a
secretive army camp high in the Scottish moors. What they find
beggars belief and casts all manner of doubt on their combined
efforts. Yet, strange and unaccountable forces bring them all
closer together in a way none of them ever imagined possible. T.J.
