For the first time in the history of the planet, more than half the population - 3.3 billion people - are now living in cities. Two hundred years ago only 3 per cent of the world's population were urbanites, a figure that had remained fairly stable (give or take the occasional plague) for about 1000 years. By 2030, 60 per cent of us will be urban dwellers.City is the ultimate handbook for the archetypal city and contains main sections on ‘History', ‘Customs and Language', ‘Districts', ‘Transport', ‘Money', ‘Work', ‘Tourist Sites', ‘Shops and markets', ‘Nightlife', etc., and mini-essays on anything and everything from Babel, Tenochtitlán and Ellis Island to Beijing, Mumbai and New York, and from boulevards, suburbs, shanty towns and favelas, to skylines, urban legends and the sacred. Drawing on a wide range of examples from cities across the world and throughout history, it explores the reasons why people first built cities and why urban populations are growing larger every year.City is illustrated throughout with a range of photographs, maps and other illustrations.
Manors and Maps in Rural England, from the Tenth Century to the Seventeenth

P.D.A. Harvey is a historian of medieval rural England with a wide interest in the history of cartography; this collection of his essays brings together both these strands. It first looks at the English countryside from the 10th century to the 15th, investigating problems in particular documents, in the village community and in underlying long-term changes. How landlords drew profits from their property in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, how and why there followed changes in the way landed estates were run and in the written records they produced, what new light their personal seals can throw on medieval peasants, are all among the topics discussed, while the local management of large estates and the development of the peasant land market are themes that recur throughout. There follow essays on the way maps were brought into the management of landed estates in the 16th and 17th centuries, starting with the introduction of consistent scale into mapping, a new concept crucially important in the general history of topographical maps. The collection closes by looking at some of the traps that both documents and maps set for the historian of the English countryside.

Her name is Malgorzata, the pool of blood she lays in is her own, the coldness that creeps up on her is death, though it is Death himself that gives her life. Her name is Charlotte, independant, cocky, obnoxious and far too confident, she knows the world is too small for her, knows the world should offer her more, and when it is placed on a platter before her she cannot help but steal it. Her name is Bryanna, abused by those supposed to protect her, lost within a world of fear and dread, yet her strength and righteous anger will engulf it all. A prophecy that ensares them all, that connects them inexorably to the One. For they are all part of the Cursed Thirteen. The Fodla Rebellion and their enemies, the Nemhedh, will stop at nothing to have their support, their powers, their allegiance. They must choose their side, choose their path, only they can make that decision. But that decision will affect the outcome of the world. Blood Tied is book three in the Crimson Lore Saga.
The saga continues... The Prophecy told of thirteen, thirteen that would sculpt the future. These were named the Cursed Thirteen. And the Cursed are hunted. Two of the Thirteen must strive to protect their brethren and persuade them to join their struggle. Bonds that once held the Cursed together and guided them on their path are now breaking apart. The links are weakening as relationships begin to dissolve. Sides are being taken, sides that will change the fate of the world. The World is already changing though, no longer can vampires hide their existence, for their war has spilled over and Man has now been dragged into its midst. The survival of the human race is at threat, war has begun. Hunters is the fourth volume in the stunning Crimson Lore series. A visceral adventure that pulses with blood, danger and the unique vision of one of the most imaginative new voices in vampire/fantasy fiction.
