Murder - the most appalling crime of all. It comes in many guises and is as diverse as the victims and perpetrators themselves. But no matter how horrifying, it fascinates as much as it repels. In this updated edition of THE LAW KILLERS, journalist Alexander McGregor examines some of the country's most chilling cases and peels back the civilised layers of our society to reveal some of the horrors that lie beneath, including: The Templeton Wood Murders - Was the same serial killer responsible and is he at last identified? Little Boy Blue - The schoolboy with a continuing compulsion to kill. Forgive Me Father - A trail of slaughter that spread to two countries? Anything You Can Do - The country's most notorious father and son who killed again and again. To Love, Honour and . . . Kill - The double wife-killer who thought he had committed the perfect murder . . . and nearly had. 'Alexander McGregor is the safest pair of hands in Scottish true crime . . . accurate, detailed and written with rare sensitivity - for good reason, The Law Killers was a bestseller' Emeritus Professor David Wilson, leading UK criminologist and presenter of In the Footsteps of Killers and Crime Files

In this new book, Bauman examines how we have moved away from a 'heavy' and 'solid', hardware-focused modernity to a 'light' and 'liquid', software-based modernity. This passage, he argues, has brought profound change to all aspects of the human condition. The new remoteness and un-reachability of global systemic structure coupled with the unstructured and under-defined, fluid state of the immediate setting of life-politics and human togetherness, call for the rethinking of the concepts and cognitive frames used to narrate human individual experience and their joint history. This book is dedicated to this task. Bauman selects five of the basic concepts which have served to make sense of shared human life - emancipation, individuality, time/space, work and community - and traces their successive incarnations and changes of meaning. Liquid Modernity concludes the analysis undertaken in Bauman's two previous books Globalization: The Human Consequences and In Search of Politics. Together these volumes form a brilliant analysis of the changing conditions of social and political life by one of the most original thinkers writing today.
