Kings and Queens of Britain

For more than 1,000 years the British monarchy has dramatically shaped national and international history. Kings and queens have conquered territory, imposed religious change and extracted taxation, each with their own motivations and ambitions.

In this beautifully illustrated book, I delve into the extraordinary history of the British monarchy and its host of kings, queens and pretenders.

Cybercrime and the Darknet

Neither cybercrime nor the darknet are straightforward – they are a morass of contradictions and grey areas. Cybercriminal activity occurs on the surface net: harassment, copyright infringement, fraud, subversion, sabotage and terrorist propaganda. But although these actions are illegal, are some of them legitimate? Those who believe information should be free oppose copyright laws, while cyber subversion and sabotage can help topple authoritarian regimes; they were vital catalysts in the 2010–11 Arab uprisings. Cath examines some of these complexities in the book.

‘I recently bought your book titled: Cybercrime and the Dark Net, at Barnes and Noble in Arizona.
It is extremely well written and your explanations and definitions of the whole scenario was very informative. One of the best I have read on the entire subject and I have read 15 or so books on the same subject. Yours is by far a cut above the rest. Good work.’
