In 1888 the name Jack the Ripper entered public consciousness with the brutal murders of women in the East End of London. Nineteenth-century history, art and literature, psychoanalytical theories of Freud and Jung and feminist film theory are all used to deconstruct the representation of Jack the Ripper on screen.

This book makes fundamental physical concepts intelligible to a non-scientific audience. The importance of physics is emphasised by its application to real environmental problems and the concepts are described qualitatively.
