''Rich, densely plotted... If le Carré needs a successor, Williams has all the equipment for the role.'' Times Literary Supplement Books of the Year ''The most authentic spy novel ever written [...] an utterly fascinating account of a very dangerous time in British history when elements of the Secret State were out of control'' Edward Wilson ''Gripped me, not just because of its crisp writing but because of its skilful blending of history and imagination... A clever cautionary tale'' The Tablet London 1963. The Beatles, Carnaby Street, mini skirts. But the new mood hasn''t reached the drab and fearful corridors of MI5 and MI6. Many agents joined the secret service to fight the Nazis. Now they are locked in a Cold War against the Russians. And some of them are traitors. The service has been shaken to its core by the high-profile defections of Cambridge-educated spies Burgess, MacLean and now Philby. Appalled at such flagrant breaches of British security, the Americans are demanding a rigorous review. Harry Vaughan is brought back from Vienna to be part of it. The Chief asks him to join two investigators - Arthur Martin and Peter Wright - who are determined to clean out the stables, and the first target of their suspicions is the Deputy Director General of MI5, Graham Mitchell. Harry slips back into a relationship with an old flame, Elsa, and joins the hunt - somewhat reluctantly. He is sceptical of the case against Mitchell and wary of the messianic fervour of the two spycatchers. But the further the investigation goes - and the deeper his commitment to Elsa becomes - the greater the sense of paranoia and distrust that spreads through the ''wilderness of mirrors'' that is the secret service. The only certainty is that no one is above suspicion. Including Harry Vaughan. *** ''Every bit as cynical in tone as Mick Herron''s Slough House mob'' Irish Times ''If a good spy novel needs anything, it''s uncertainty, a hall of mirrors; and Witchfinder delivers it in spades. Great stuff'' Dominick Donald, author of Breathe ''One of Britain''s most accomplished thriller writers'' Daily Mail ''Williams is an accomplished thriller writer and this may be his best book yet. London in the 1960s, its smoky pubs, damp streets and crackle of sexual liberation is so well portrayed that reading Witchfinder is almost like time travel. Williams blends fact and fiction to make a captivating read.'' Financial Times

Discover Golang''s GUI libraries such as Go-GTK (GIMP Toolkit) and Go-Qt and build beautiful, performant, and responsive graphical applications Key Features Conceptualize and build state-of-art GUI applications with Golang (Go) Tackle the complexity of varying GUI application sizes with a structured and scalable approach Get hands-on experience of GUI development with Shiny, and labs/ui, Fyne, and Walk Book DescriptionGo is often compared to C++ when it comes to low-level programming and implementations that require faster processing, such as Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). In fact, many claim that Go is superior to C++ in terms of its concurrency and ease of use. Most graphical application toolkits, though, are still written using C or C++, and so they don''t enjoy the benefits of using a modern programming language such as Go. This guide to programming GUIs with Go 1.11 explores the various toolkits available, including UI, Walk, Shiny, and Fyne. The book compares the vision behind each project to help you pick the right approach for your project. Each framework is described in detail, outlining how you can build performant applications that users will love. To aid you further in creating applications using these emerging technologies, you''ll be able to easily refer to code samples and screenshots featured in the book. In addition to toolkit-specific discussions, you''ll cover more complex topics, such as how to structure growing graphical applications, and how cross-platform applications can integrate with each desktop operating system to create a seamless user experience. By delving into techniques and best practices for organizing and scaling Go-based graphical applications, you''ll also glimpse Go''s impressive concurrency system. In the concluding chapters, you''ll discover how to distribute to the main desktop marketplaces and distribution channels. By the end of this book, you''ll be a confident GUI developer who can use the Go language to boost the performance of your applications. What you will learn Understand the benefits and complexities of building native graphical applications Gain insights into how Go makes cross-platform graphical application development simple Build platform-native GUI applications using andlabs/ui Develop graphical Windows applications using Walk Create multiplatform GUI applications using Shiny, Nuklear, and Fyne Use Go wrappers for GTK and Qt for GUI application development Streamline your requirements to pick the correct toolkit strategy Who this book is for This book is designed for Go developers who are interested in building native graphical applications for desktop computers and beyond. Some knowledge of building applications using Go is useful, but not essential. Experience in developing GUIs is not required as the book explores the benefits and challenges they pose. This book will also be beneficial for GUI application developers who are interested in trying Go.

This book explores the hopeful possibility that emerging geographies of postsecularity are able to contribute significantly to the understanding of how common life may be shared, and how caring for the common goods of social justice, well-being, equality, solidarity and respect for difference may be imagined and practiced. Drawing on recent geographic theory to recalibrate ideas of the postsecular public sphere, the authors develop the case for postsecularity as a condition of being that is characterised by practices of receptive generosity, rapprochement between religious and secular ethics, and a hopeful re-enchantment and re-shaping of desire towards common life. The authors highlight the contested formation of ethical subjectivity under neoliberalism and the emergence of postsecularity within this process as an ethically-attuned politics which changes relations between religion and secularity and animates novel, hopeful imaginations, subjectivities, and praxes as alternatives to neoliberal norms. The spaces and subjectivities of emergent postsecularity are examined through a series of innovative case studies, including food banks, drug and alcohol treatment, refugee humanitarian activism in Calais, homeless participatory art projects, community responses to the Christchurch earthquakes in New Zealand, amongst others. The book also traces the global conditions for postsecularity beyond the Western and predominantly Christian-secular nexus of engagement. This is a valuable resource for students in several academic disciplines, including geography, sociology, politics, religious studies, international development and anthropology. It will be of great interest to secular and faith-based practitioners working in religion, spirituality, politics or more widely in public policy, urban planning and community development.

This volume comprises seventeen essays by Andrew Williams , one of the world''s leading Kant scholars. They cover virtually the full spectrum of Andrew Williams work on Kant, ranging from his epistemology, metaphysics, and moral theory to his views on teleology, political philosophy, the philosophy of history, and the philosophy of religion. But most of the essays revolve around three basic themes: the nature of transcendental idealism and its relation to other aspects of Kant''s thought; freedom of the will; and the concept of the purposiveness of nature. The first two themes have been prominent in Allison''s work on Kant since its inception. The essays on the third theme constitute a major new contribution to the understanding of Kant''s ''critical'' philosophy; their primary concern is to demonstrate the central place of the third Critique in Kant''s thought. Among the notable features of Allison''s essays is the presence of a significant comparative dimension, which places Kant''s views in their historical context and explores their contemporary relevance. To this end, these views are contrasted with those of his major predecessors and immediate successors, as well as philosophers of the present day.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Andrew Williams The Life of Reason stands as one of the most influential and beautifully written works of philosophical naturalism. In it, Santayana articulates his vision of human progression from chaos to reason and the pursuit of the ideal life. Focusing his thought on the lived experiences of people, these phases are traced through humanity''s many endeavors, including art, science, politics, religion, friendship, and reason. Drawing on a range of influences, from Democritus and Aristotle to Spinoza and Schopenhauer, Santayana develops a materialist system of thought that stresses the importance of imagination and spiritual experience.

The growth of videogame design programs in higher education and explosion of amateur game development has created a need for a deeper understanding of game history that addresses not only "when," but "how" and "why." Andrew Williams takes the first step in creating a comprehensive survey on the history of digital games as commercial products and artistic forms in a textbook appropriate for university instruction. History of Digital Games adopts a unique approach and scope that traces the interrelated concepts of game design, art and design of input devices from the beginnings of coin-operated amusement in the late 1800s to the independent games of unconventional creators in the present. Rooted in the concept of videogames as designed objects, Williams investigates the sources that inspired specific game developers as well as establishing the historical, cultural, economic and technological contexts that helped shape larger design trends. Key Features Full-color images and game screenshots Focuses primarily on three interrelated digital game elements: visual design, gameplay design and the design of input devices This book is able to discuss design trends common to arcade games, home console games and computer games while also respecting the distinctions of each game context Includes discussion of game hardware as it relates to how it affects game design Links to online resources featuring games discussed in the text, video tutorial and other interactive resources will be included.

Military power is now the main vehicle for regime change. The US army has been used on more than 30 different occasions in the post-Cold War world compared with just 10 during the whole of the Cold War era. Leading scholar Andrew Williams tackles contemporary thinking on war with a detailed study on liberal thinking over the last century about how wars should be ended, using a vast range of historical archival material from diplomatic, other official and personal papers, which this study situates within the debates that have emerged in political theory. He examines the main strategies used at the end, and in the aftermath, of wars by liberal states to consolidate their liberal gains and to prevent the re-occurrence of wars with those states they have fought. This new study also explores how various strategies: revenge; restitution; reparation; restraint; retribution; reconciliation; and reconstruction, have been used by liberal states not only to defeat their enemies but also transform them. This is a major new contribution to contemporary thinking and action. This book will be of great interest to all students and scholars of politics, international relations and security studies.

Un hombre. Una oportunidad.Rusia, 1879. Un atentado contra la vida del zar Alejandro II lo deja ileso pero revela una conspiración muy profunda. El presunto asesino es apresado y poco después colgado. Entre sus posesiones se encuentra una lista de nombres que dará pistas a la policía para descubrir a los demás conspiradores. Porque Rusia está llena de conspiradores: movimientos revolucionarios organizados han comprendido que, para lograr un cambio, es necesario tomar acciones dramáticas; ya no valen medias tintas ni posiciones seudoconciliadoras como la del doctor Frederick Hadfield, un inglés que vive en San Petersburgo y que se verá más involucrado de lo que quisiera con el grupo de conspiradores...

Spring, 1941. The armies of the Reich are masters of Europe. Britain stands alone, dependent on her battered navy for survival, while Hitler’s submarines – his ‘grey wolves’ - prey on the Atlantic convoys that are the country’s only lifeline. Lieutenant Douglas Lindsay is amongst just a handful of men picked up when his ship is torpedoed. Unable to free himself from the memories of that night at sea, he becomes an interrogator with naval intelligence, questioning captured U-Boat crews. He is convinced the Germans have broken British naval codes, but he’s a lone voice, a damaged outsider, and his superiors begin to wonder - can he really be trusted when so much is at stake? As the Blitz reduces Britain''s cities to rubble and losses at sea mount, Lindsay becomes increasingly isolated and desperate. No one will believe him, not even his lover, Mary Henderson, who works at the very heart of the intelligence establishment. Lindsay decides to risk all in one last throw of the dice, setting a trap for his prize captive - and nemisis - U-Boat Commander Jürgen Mohr, the man who sent his ship to its doom...

Introducing the application of free energy correlations to elucidating the mechanisms of organic and bio-organic reactions, this book provides a new and illuminating way of approaching a potentially complex topic. The idea of how free energy correlations derive from polar substituent change is introduced, and common pitfalls encountered in the application of free energy relationships are described, along with the use of these anomalies in mechanistic studies. The concept of effective charge is described in detail, with examples of its application. Throughout, worked answers are provided for the problems posed. Databases of parameters, an extensive bibliography and comprehensive lists of further reading are also included. The text provides an invaluable source of information to senior undergraduates, postgraduates and to industrial researchers with an interest in mechanistic studies. It is the first such book in more than thirty years.

Using iPods or portable CD players, millions of people take their music with them every day to modify their daily experiences. Encased in headphones, they listen to music for entertainment, but also use it, among other things, as a buffer between themselves and the world outside, and to manage their moods. What is it about music that makes it useful in different ways to so many people? Have people always used music in these ways, or only since the technology of the Walkman and then the mp3 player made music portable? In this wide-ranging exploration of how and why we use portable music, Andrew Williams sheds new light on the role music plays in our everyday lives. Portable Music and Its Functions will be of use to students and scholars of sociology and cultural studies as well as of musicology.

"De 1939 a 1945 la suerte de la segunda guerra mundial dependió en buena medida del resultado final de la "batalla del Atlántico", un enfrentamiento que se saldó con la pérdida de 648 submarinos alemanes, de 3.500 buques mercantes aliados y de cerca de cien mil hombres de uno y otro bando. Pero, sorprendentemente, esta batalla decisiva, que los alemanes pudieron ganar y que hubiera entonces cambiado el curso de la historia, no ha sido nunca contada como lo hace Andrew Williams en este libro. Williams ha usado para ello una amplia documentación, pero su fuente de información más importante ha sido las entrevistas mantenidas con cerca de cincuenta supervivientes de ambos lados, marinos y aviadores británicos y tripulantes de los submarinos alemanes, que le permiten revivir con sus recuerdos el drama y la epopeya de una de las mayores y más decisivas batallas de la segunda guerra mundial y contar esta apasionante historia tal como sus protagonistas la vivieron en el mar."

The great rainforests of the Pacific Northwest depend on the return of salmon. Every creature living there, from the tree tops to the river bottoms, requires the nutrients deposited each year by decaying salmon. Over tens of thousands of years, the salmon''s life-cycle has become the foundation of the North Pacific ecosystem, as the nutrients from salmon carcasses have enriched what would otherwise be a mineral-poor, unproductive environment. It''s no secret that the Northwest''s freshwater fish, including cutthroat and rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, bull trout, and whitefish, all rely on the stages of the salmon''s life cycle for much of their diet. In summer and fall they wait behind spawning salmon and gorge on the eggs. After spawning salmon have died, trout and char feed on the rotting salmon flesh. In spring, as the newly hatched alevin emerge and become fry, trout and other resident fish go on a feeding frenzy. Even the smolts making their way to the sea must run a gauntlet of hungry trout. To be successful, the Northwest trout angler must know when these events occur, how to match the hatch, imitating the eggs, fry, and flesh of the salmon, and how to present these flies where, when and how the trout expect to see them. Andrew Williams helps make these tasks much easier. In Cannibal Trout he provides in-depth information, including individual fly photographs and recipes, on everything you need to know to successfully fish and tie egg, fry, and flesh flies.
