When Yaz and her dog Hercules find a dead man on a bench along the canal with chicken bones lying around him, she immediately calls Louise – and the police.

The trail leads them to the new Cluckin’ Good Chicken shop, who not only have a gang that loiter outside, smoking weed and harassing passers-by, but have also managed to create issues with the locals.As the Pack's investigation into the chicken shop progresses, establishing links with organised crime that might possibly connect to the local council, Louise and her friends find themselves in mortal danger. Can the Pack sniff out the killer and get to the bones of the mystery?

Skin in the Game : Conversations on Risk and Contention
No Going Back Skin in the Game follows on from the acclaimed fieldwork diary, The Metabolic Museum.In this new book written in a conversational style, Clémentine Deliss expands on how artists today understand the creativity to be found in historical research collections.Questions are raised on how to work with contentious collections, the law from the perspective of Indigenous artists, and the concept of the “prototype” that defines an artist’s career.Deliss speaks with leading women artists—Ruth Buchanan, Otobong Nkanga, Collier Schorr, Rosemarie Trockel, Joëlle Tuerlincx, and Andrea Zittel—, about their moment of “skin in the game,” when they knew there was no going back, and that art practice would become their Hades and paradise in one.What was the prototype that defined their practice and that like a revenant returns over the course of an artist’s lifetime?

Surviving the Islamic State : Contention, Cooperation, and Neutrality in Wartime Iraq
How did ordinary Iraqis survive the occupation of their communities by the Islamic State?How did they decide whether to stay or flee, to cooperate or resist?Based on an original survey from Baghdad alongside key interviews in the field, this book offers an insightful account of how Iraqis in different areas of the country responded to the rise and fall of the Islamic State. Austin J. Knuppe argues that people adopt survival repertoires—a variety of social practices, tools, organized routines, symbols, and rhetorical strategies—to navigate wartime violence and detect threats.He traces how repertoires varied among different communities over the course of the conflict.In areas insulated from insurgent control, such as cosmopolitan Baghdad, local residents had the flexibility to support coalition forces while also voicing opposition to government policies.For Iraqis in rural communities confronting insurgent control, collaboration and resistance entailed significant risks.In Sunni-majority communities in the western desert, passive acquiescence and active cooperation temporarily insulated Iraqis from insurgent victimization.For ethnic and religious minorities in the north, however, flight or resistance proved the only viable options.In many communities, local residents mobilized neighborhood self-defense groups and militias loosely aligned with coalition forces once the tides turned against the Islamic State. Beyond contributing to academic and policy debates about civilian protection during wartime, Surviving the Islamic State foregrounds everyday people’s experiences while modeling an ethical approach for conducting field research in conflict-affected communities.

Robert Burns and Scottish Cultural Politics : The Bard of Contention (1914-2014)
Robert Burns is Scotland's best known and most influential poet; yet his political legacy also ranks amongst the most contentious.His ambiguous verse, oscillating between patriotic odes, egalitarian lines and royalist songs, lends itself to interpretations from across the political divide. Blending political history and literary studies, this book explores this contested legacy of 'Scotland's National Bard'.It follows the transformations of Burns's image throughout the late modern era, as revolutionaries, nationalists and avant-garde writers co-opted Burns's myth to subvert their country's social and constitutional order.From Great War unionism to 1940s socialism and contemporary nationalism, the examination of Burns's tempestuous afterlives sheds light on the ongoing Scottish question.Overall, it reminds us that poetry is a very shifting ground on which to build a national identity.
