Is it possible to predict killing sprees? Manifestos for Murder takes a look at the commonalities between mass murderers in order to discover whether their intentions might have been more obvious than we think.

From Anders Behring Breivik in Norway to Dylan Klebold, the Columbine killer, this is a fascinating yet frightening insight into the minds of some of the world’s worst killers. Addicted to Murder focuses on a different kind of murderer – the serial killer. What motivates seemingly ordinary people such as Mikhail Popkov, a mild-mannered Siberian policeman, to torture and kill not just once, but again and again, and how were they brought to justice?
Escape into a moment of calm with these two collections of words of reflection. The Sayings of the Buddha offers a range of carefully chosen thoughts, teachings, and aphorisms which express in different ways the core doctrines of Buddhism.

The latest selection of classic works of non-fiction from Arcturus roam over a variety of disciplines – from philosophy to travel via the ancient art of divination. Ecce Homo is the last work that Friedrich Nietzche wrote before he succumbed to insanity, and is a fascinating self-analysis of what it is to be a philosoopher. Common Sense, Thomas Paine’s advocacy for a more egalitarian government, remains one of the most widely read political works of all time, nearly 250 years after its first publication. Sigmund Freud’s theories on psychoanalysis are well known, and in Dream Psychology he sets out his ideas on how dreams should be analysed and interpreted. In I Ching, practioner Hilary Barrett explains how the world-renowned ancient Chinese text of divination works and looks at its historical background. The Analects of Confucius contains the Chinese philosopher’s thoughts on finding a pathway to morality via virtue and respect. And last, but not least, sit back and enjoy one of the bestselling travelogues ever, filled with the humorous observations of Mark Twain as he travels with various companions around Europe and the Holy Land aboard the USS Quaker City.

Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë were not prolific novelists, but the novels that they wrote have become some of the best-loved in English literature. This delightful slipcased collection offers six of their best known works. Each book is beautifully bound, and
together they make the perfect introduction to the sisters’ talents. Titles include: Jane Eyre (448pp); Agnes Grey (192pp); Villette (480pp); Wuthering Heights (272pp); The Professor (208pp) and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (432pp). Moving from the wilds of Yorkshire to small-town France, these are tales of passion and romance conjured up by the vivid imaginations of the three sisters.
