'An angry and important work of historical detection, calling time on the misogyny that has fed the Ripper myth. Powerful and shaming' - Guardian
Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine and Mary.
What they had in common was the year of their murders: 1888.
Their murderer was never identified, but the name created for him by the press has become far more famous than any of these five women.
Now, in this devastating narrative of five lives, historian Hallie Rubenhold finally sets the record straight, and gives these women back their stories.
Five devastating human stories and a dark and moving portrait of Victorian London .
'At last, the Ripper's victims get a voice... An eloquent, stirring challenge to reject the prevailing Ripper myth.' Mail on Sunday
'Devastatingly good. The Five will leave you in tears, of pity and of rage.'
LUCY WORSLEY
'How fitting that in the year when we celebrate the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage, dignity is finally returned to these unfortunate women.'
PROFESSOR DAME SUE BLACK
'Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly deserve to be thought of as more than eviscerated bodies on an East London street. This haunting book does something to redress that balance' Sunday Times
'What a brilliant and necessary book'
JO BAKER, author of Sunday Times bestselling *Longbourn*
'A Ripper narrative that gives voice to the women he silenced; I've been waiting for this book for years. Beautifully written and with the grip of a thriller, it will open your eyes and break your heart.' *
ERIN KELLY, Sunday Times bestselling author of He Said/She Said

Review
"At last, the Ripper's victims get a voice...An eloquent, stirring challenge to reject the prevailing Ripper myth."
--The Mail on Sunday
"[A]n angry and important work of historical detection...The Five is not simply about the women who were murdered in Whitechapel in the autumn of 1888: it is for them. This is a powerful and a shaming book, but most shameful of all is that it took 130 years to write."
--*The Guardian*
"Deeply researched and powerfully told, The Five unearths the truth behind the Victorian Age's most sensational crime: the 1888 murder spree of Jack the Ripper. Hallie Rubenhold reaches beyond 130 years' worth of lurid headlines and misleading reports to humanize the victims and explore their lives."
--Karen Abbott, * New York Times bestselling author of Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy*
"Meticulously researched and beautifully executed, The Five is a powerful and timely retelling of a story you think you already know. Rubenhold strips away decades of myths and misconceptions so that the women who were ruthlessly murdered by Jack the Ripper are no longer one."
--Lindsey Fitzharris, author of The Butchering Art
"Devastatingly good. The Five will leave you in tears, of pity and of rage."
--Lucy Worsley, BBC presenter, Chief Curator at Historic Royal Palaces, and author
"What a brilliant and necessary book."
--Jo Baker, best-selling author Longbourn
"A Ripper narrative that gives voice to the women he silenced; I've been waiting for this book for years. Beautifully written and with the grip of a thriller, it will open your eyes and break your heart."
--Erin Kelly, best-selling author of He Said/She Said

:
Alan I. Abramowitz has emerged as a leading spokesman for the view that our current political divide is not confined to a small group of elites and activists but a key feature of the American social and cultural landscape. The polarization of the political and media elites, he argues, arose and persists because it accurately reflects the state of American society. Here, he goes further: the polarization is unique in modern U.S. history. Today's party divide reflects an unprecedented alignment of many different divides: racial and ethnic, religious, ideological, and geographic. Abramowitz shows how the partisan alignment arose out of the breakup of the old New Deal coalition; introduces the most important difference between our current era and past eras, the rise of "negative partisanship"; explains how this phenomenon paved the way for the Trump presidency; and examines why our polarization could even grow deeper. This statistically based analysis shows that racial anxiety is by far a better predictor of support for Donald Trump than any other factor, including economic discontent.

Review
"Abramowitz doesn't polemicize; he simply lays out the facts. But the story he tells suggests that the essential first step to getting past extremism and polarization is the defeat of today's intemperate brand of Republicanism, embodied by the most intemperate president in our history."-E.J. Dionne, The Washington Post
"Clear and comprehensive. . . . Abramowitz's detailed yet concise analysis is accessible even for novices, and it offers a critical lesson on the American electorate and politics in a polarized nation."-Publishers Weekly
"Copious survey research and statistical analysis about why the divide between Republican and Democratic voters is more contentious than ever and how that affects not only the presidency and Congress, but also state and local elections . . . A solid academic study offering scant hope for the future."-Kirkus Reviews
"The book delivers a feast of important findings for students of US politics."-Choice
"Alan Abramowitz is dead. Sabato, Director, UVA Center for Politics

"Nobody is better at analyzing and documenting American public opinion than Alan Abramowitz. In this invaluable book, he shows with precision, power and clarity what has happened to transform American politics over the past decades. The consequences are real, dramatic-and terrifying."-Norman Ornstein, coauthor of One Nation After Trump: A Guide for the Perplexed, the Disillusioned, the Desperate and the Not-Yet-Deported 
"Abramowitz's lucid analysis makes a major contribution to our understanding of the most salient and, to many, troubling phenomenon in current American politics."-Gary Jacobson, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of California, San Diego

About the Author
Alan I. Abramowitz is Alben W. Barkley Professor of Political Science at Emory University.

A dazzling new history of the irrepressible demographic changes and mass migrations that have made and unmade nations, continents, and empires
The rise and fall of the British Empire; the emergence of America as a superpower; the ebb and flow of global challenges from Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and Soviet Russia. These are the headlines of history, but they cannot be properly grasped without understanding the role that population has played.
The Human Tide shows how periods of rapid population transition.
Demographic changes explain why the Arab Spring came and went, how China rose so meteorically, and why Britain voted for Brexit and America for Donald Trump. Sweeping from Europe to the Americas, China, East Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa, The Human Tide is a panoramic view of the sheer power of numbers.

Review
"An illuminating perspective on the history and likely future of population trends." - STARRED REVIEW, BOOKLIST
"Morland's real skill is linking economic, political, military and cultural trends to the demographic story...lucid, jargon." - THE TIMES
"A global history that gallops from 1800 and Brexit to Donald Trump's wall, seen through the prism of births, deaths and migration... The Human Tide is packed with information...This is, deliberately, a book for those with little knowledge of demography...What are fascinating are the author's projections of where we are heading demographically. To an older population in the UK certainly: the number of people over 85 will treble in 30 years as the baby. That means a more indebted nation, but it could also mean a more peacefully inclined one" - SUNDAY TIMES
"Useful for students of geopolitics, international economics, and demography alike." - KIRKUS REVIEWS
"Engrossing...How many people live in a place, how old they are and how hungry they are, explains a lot about how their rulers behave, he argues. Do you have a fast." - BOOK OF THE WEEK, EVENING STANDARD

About the Author
Paul Morland is associate research fellow at Birkbeck, University of London and an authority on demography. A French speaker with dual British and German citizenship, Paul was educated at Oxford University and was awarded his Ph.D from the University of London.

Acclaim for the Novels of J.R. Rain

"Gripping, adventurous, and romantic-J.R. Rain's THE LOST ARK is a breakneck thriller that traces the thread of history from Biblical stories to current. Be prepared to lose sleep!"
-James Rollins, international bestselling author of THE DEVIL COLONY

"DARK HORSE is one of the best books I've read in a long time!"
-Gemma Halliday, award-winning author of SPYING IN HIGH HEELS

"I enjoyed this immensely. The protagonist, Samantha Moon, is a female vampire with a husband and children. Those predate her condition; six years ago she was attacked by a vampire and rendered into one. Now she's trying to carry on with family and private eye business, and she's a feisty, skilled person, so is doing mostly okay. It is not a horror story; she buys animal blood to eat and doesn't generally prey on humans. But her husband has an increasing problem with her coldness-not of spirit, but of body. 'You sicken me and scare the hell out of me,' he tells her. 'And when I touch you it's all I can do to not gag.' She replies, 'Words every wife wants to hear.' I love this! She really doesn't deserve to be frozen out of her marriage, yet his attitude is understandable. In the course of the novel she solves the mystery she is tackling for a client, and finds a new romantic interest. What makes it special are her character and nature. I sure wouldn't have kicked her out of bed. I recommend it as light reading, odd as that may sound."
-Piers Anthony, New York Times bestselling author of A SPELL FOR CHAMELEON

"MOON DANCE is absolutely brilliant!"
-Lisa Tenzin-Dolma, author of UNDERSTANDING THE PLANETARY MYTHS

"MOON DANCE is a must read. If you like Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, bounty hunter, be prepared to love J. R. Rain's Samantha Moon, vampire private investigator."
-Eve Paludan, author of LETTERS FROM DAVID

"Impossible to put down. J.R. Rain's MOON DANCE is a fabulous urban fantasy."
-April Vine, author of THE MIDNIGHT ROSE

"I totally loved THE BODY DEPARTED. My favorite scene is the one of Jesus stepping down from the cross and then the passionate and compassionate way it was treated as he went back to the cross. I will relive that for a long time to come. Thank you for your talet."
-Julie Belmont, author of THE PATH TO PERSONAL SUCCESS AND FREEDOM

"J.R. Rain is the new modern master of vampires."
-H.T. Night, bestselling author of THE WEREWOLF WHISPERER

"I love Jim Knighthorse! Please write faster, Mr. Rain!"
-Elaine Babich, bestselling author of FALLING DOWN

"I thoroughly enjoyed THE VAMPIRE WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO from one of my favorite authors. A great way to spend a few hours of the afternoon."
-Jen Ashton, bestselling author of MONSTROUS LOVE

"Powerful stuff!"
-Aiden James, bestselling author of PLAGUE OF COINS

"Jim Knighthorse is a throwback to classic detectives, which is probably why I love him so much. Funny, street."
-Summer Lee, bestselling author of ANGEL HEART
