This book examines the current literature and knowledge on the evolution and ecology of all the birds named as eagles, with particular emphasis on the larger species. It also examines the past and current relations between eagles and people, including habitat change and conservation issues. Eagle ecologies and conservation are currently seriously impacted by human activities such as industrialization, urbanization, pollution, deforestation and hunting. Some eagle species have consequently experienced extreme population changes. There are, however, some positive developments. Eagles have a strong, historic bond with human civilization, due to their status as the world’s most charismatic birds. Conservation policies have also been successful in repopulating some ecosystems with breeding eagles. Therefore, despite the complexity of this relationship, there may yet be hope for this unique species group, frequently rated as the kings of birds, and symbolic of human power, ambition, royalty, nationality, and even concepts of God. It is hoped that this book will contribute to the further understanding of these unique and fantastic birds.

Vietnam Rejuvenated tells the story of many heroes and personal suffering of fighters during the Vietnam War. Narouk is a young man born and raised in France, son of a Vietnamese couple that migrated in 1940. While studying at the University of Sorbonne, Narouk joins a French committee opposing the Vietnamese war, which leads him back to his roots, where he finds himself forced to join the Viet Cong. Destiny brings together Narouk and Martin, who is an American pilot who is shot down and consequently imprisoned as a POW. Vietnam Rejuvenated is a moral and ethical reminder of our core humanity, which brings to life discussions and humane events that halter feelings of hatred. These same events attribute to a symbolic bond between proud personalities, during times of human bloodshed and ideological warfare.

From 1980 to the present, huge transformations have occurred in every area of British cultural life. The election of Margaret Thatcher in 1979 ushered in a new neoliberal era in politics and economics that dramatically reshaped the British landscape. Alongside this political shift, we have seen transformations to the public sphere caused by the arrival of the internet and of social media, and changes in the global balance of power brought about by 9/11, the emergence of China and India as superpowers, and latterly the British vote to leave the European Union. British fiction of the period is intimately interwoven with these historical shifts. This collection brings together some of the most penetrating critics of the contemporary, to explore the role that the British novel has had in shaping the cultural landscape of our time, at a moment, in the wake of the EU referendum of 2016, when the question of what it means to be British has become newly urgent.
