The head of the English Puritan Church, Laura Stuart, has summoned the Index Librorum Prohibitorum with a mission to investigate the bombing of the Euro Tunnel that connects the UK with France. Index soon departs for the British Isles with her guardian Touma Kamijou in tow but their when their flight is suddenly hijacked by a mysterious figure, their plans will have to change! If they survive, Index and Touma's next unfortunate adventure will lead them to the heart of the UK!

Touma has been called out by Mikoto to fulfill his punishment, but can anyone call taking pictures together and getting matching cell phone straps "punishment"...? The arrival of Mikoto's "little sisters" makes their "battle" even more fraught!

Touma has to rescue a former enemy, the fighting nun Agnes Sanctis, from the Queen of the Adriatic-a magical ship capable of wiping out Venice in a flash! Standing in his way is the fleet commander, Bishop Biagio Busoni, whose true motive for using the floating superweapon is a mystery to all. As Touma presses forward, Agnes asks herself a question: Does she deserve salvation...?

A fight breaks out among Tokiwadai Middle School's three biggest cliques! At first, Mikoto has no interest in the drama, but after meeting with the leaders of each (and running into free-spirited Ruri, who isn't affiliated with any clique, yet has the interest of all three), she suddenly finds her school life taking a turn!

History no longer belongs only to historians, but is woven into the fabric and discourse of daily life. This fresh and wide-ranging survey explores how new media and new historiographic approaches are dramatically expanding what we understand by “history” today. Controversy about the aims and limits of historical analysis has raged ever since the rise of postmodern history in the 1970s. But these debates have rarely affected the understanding of history in Central and Eastern Europe. The volume confirms the crucial importance of audiovisual and mass media, from film to television and radio to comics, but does not exclude literary scholars and art historians who are also rethinking their methods, taking note of their new consumers. If history formerly appeared to be a one-way transmission of expertise, it is increasingly a dynamic engagement between researchers and audiences.

This book highlights recent research on sustainable production. In today’s manufacturing industry, cleaner production has become a central goal. “Sustainable production” describes activities that pose no threat to future generations and are not pursued at their expense. In addition, sustainable production is a concept that can improve environmental performance and focuses on technical aspects that can be used to improve efficiency and productivity. Sustainable production is not limited to the manufacturing sector, but affects all production sectors including energy, environment, and material systems – all of which face significant challenges in connection with sustainability, e.g. efforts to reduce production’s impact on the environment and to manage health and safety impacts. Key means of reducing environmental pollution from manufacturing involve reducing the main resources used in production (metals used in the machining processes, fluids/oils in production, water, and energy).
