Synopsis Clive Barker's Next Testament Omnibus by : Clive Barker

A rich explorer discovers a figure in the desert who calls himself Wick, and claims to be God. Together, the pair embark on a reign of terror across the globe, and Wick seeks to reclaim the throne he believes is rightfully his. Finally collected in one complete volume, experience the terrifying madness of Master of Horror’s first original comic book series, Clive Barker’s Next Testament. Julian Demond is a captain of industry who left behind everything and began a walkabout, believing himself to be on a mission from above. He soon discovers a figure unlike any other, one who calls himself Wick…and claims to be God. Their journey together will span the globe and see Wick emerge as the vengeful God of the Old Testament who is none too happy with the current state of man.

Synopsis The Social Life of Coffee by : Brian Cowan

What induced the British to adopt foreign coffee-drinking customs in the seventeenth century? Why did an entirely new social institution, the coffeehouse, emerge as the primary place for consumption of this new drink? In this lively book, Brian Cowan locates the answers to these questions in the particularly British combination of curiosity, commerce, and civil society. Cowan provides the definitive account of the origins of coffee drinking and coffeehouse society, and in so doing he reshapes our understanding of the commercial and consumer revolutions in Britain during the long Stuart century. Britain’s virtuosi, gentlemanly patrons of the arts and sciences, were profoundly interested in things strange and exotic. Cowan explores how such virtuosi spurred initial consumer interest in coffee and invented the social template for the first coffeehouses. As the coffeehouse evolved, rising to take a central role in British commercial and civil society, the virtuosi were also transformed by their own invention.
