CodeBlade is a tabletop brawler miniature wargame set in a near-future cyberpunk version of our world. Artificial Intelligence is everywhere, and it's found a way to influence the physical world directly: setting tasks and other small-job contracts in exchanged for honour tokens that give privileged access to AI systems. Each player controls a small group of lowlifes vying to complete these tasks, earning, stealing, losing, and gambling their tokens along the way. The game has a small footprint, playing easily and quickly, while providing a deep strategic challenge. Players must contend with multiple win conditions, dynamic objectives and scenarios, and a unique close-quarters brawl deployment that gets the action started from the very first action. To say nothing of the powerful CodeBlades: injectable shards of emergency code carried by each character; each with the potential to shift the bearer's fortune. A canny player could win without firing a single bullet. Fight, steal and hack your way to victory.

CodeBlade is a miniature agnostic game, meaning you can use anything you like or already own, including 3D printed versions of your own characters, scenery, and more! This rulebook contains a rich description of the world and its setting, all of the rules required to play, and details on each of the playable factions and their characters. It is a self-contained tome that will give players all of the information they need to enjoy every part of CodeBlade.

This book tells the story of how women first fought for inclusion among scientific societies in Edwardian Britain. Though educational opportunities in schools and universities were improving, there were few fellowships or chances of paid employment in the sciences. Excluded from most scientific societies, women were deprived of not just the chance to share their scientific experiences with other enthusiasts but of mixing with and impressing potential employers. Barriers were overcome in many cases, but not in all. This book will explore the lives of individual women who were brave pioneers and by the outbreak of WWI had proved that they were the equals of men. Many at the heart of the struggle within the sciences were also involved in the fight for suffrage, their success in the sciences helping to change men's attitudes towards women.

The Darwin family was instrumental in the history of botany. Their experiences illustrate the growing specialization and professionalization of science in the nineteenth century. The author shows how botany escaped the burdens of medicine, feminization and the sterility of classification and nomenclature to become a rigorous laboratory science.
