Sick, twisted, politically incorrect and Freakin' Sweet animated series featuring the adventures of the dysfunctional Griffin family. Bumbling Peter and long-suffering Lois have three kids. Stewie (a brilliant but sadistic baby bent on killing his mother and taking over the world), Meg (the oldest, and is the most unpopular girl in town) and Chris (the middle kid, he's not very bright but has a passion for movies). The final member of the family is Brian - a talking dog and much more than a pet, he keeps Stewie in check whilst sipping Martinis and sorting through his own life issues.

This book provides an innovative cultural history of Italian colonialism and its impact on twentieth-century ideas of empire and anti-colonialism. In October 1935, Mussoliniʼs army attacked Ethiopia, defying the League of Nations and other European imperial powers.

This book considers the relationship between the vogue for putting the Ottoman Empire on the English stage and the repertory system that underpinned London playmaking.

One conjures three rabbits from his hat, the next balances on a thin rope, a third juggles seven balls through the air. Chris Gall mastered an art, that more and more unfolds its spell the longer you listen to it. The pianist nonverbally tells stories that stay in your memory for a long time. Some of them have a cool tragedy, others almost nefarious cheerfulness, sometimes they come around the corner a bit bizarre, but now and then in great clarity. Such a narrative play on 88 keys is very rare, it comes almost exclusively in jazz to fruition, which might be the reason why Gall has dedicated himself to this genre.
