Among the voyages of exploration and surveying in the late 18th century, that of Alejandro Malaspina best represents the high ideals and scientific interests of the Enlightenment. Italian-born, Malaspina entered the Spanish navy in 1774. In September 1788 he and fellow-officer José Bustamante submitted a plan to the Ministry of Marine for a voyage of survey and inspection to Spanish territories in the Americas and Philippines. The expedition was to produce hydrographic charts for the use of Spanish merchantmen and warships and to report on the political, economic and defensive state of Spain's overseas possessions. The plan was approved and in July 1789 Malaspina and Bustamante sailed from Cádiz in the purpose-built corvettes, Descubierta and Atrevida. On board the vessels were scientists and artists and an array of the latest surveying and astronomical instruments. The voyage lasted more than five years. On his return Malaspina was promoted Brigadier de la Real Armada, and began work on an account of the voyage in seven volumes to dwarf the narratives of his predecessors in the Pacific such as Cook and Bougainville. Among much else, it would contain sweeping recommendations for reform in the governance of Spain's overseas empire. But Malaspina became involved in political intrigue. In November 1795 he was arrested, stripped of his rank and sentenced to life imprisonment. Although released in 1803, Malaspina spent the last seven years of his life in obscure retirement in Italy. He never resumed work on the great edition, and his journal was not published in Spain until 1885. Only in recent years has a multi-volume edition appeared under the auspices of the Museo Naval, Madrid, that does justice to the achievements of what for long was a forgotten voyage. This first volume of a series of three contains Malaspina's diario or journal from 31 July 1789 to 14 December 1790, newly translated into English, with substantial introduction and commentary. Among the places visited and described are Montevideo, Puerto Deseado, Port Egmont, Puerto San Carlos, Valparaíso, Callao, Guayaquil and Panamá. Other texts include Malaspina's introduction to his intended edition, and his correspondence with the Minister of the Marine before and during the voyage.

Does God really heal in the 21st century? The Bible is full of stories of God's healing power. Some have hoped for healing and have failed. Maybe you have tried praying, believing, confessing God's word, and for some unknown reason, perhaps it hasn't worked for you. The Bible says hope deferred makes the heart sick. Maybe you have suffered some disappointments, but the reason you are holding this book shows that you are still hopeful. People of hope will eventually get through. Hope is the springboard from which faith works. In this book, Andrew, a medical doctor takes you on a journey to find the missing piece of the puzzle. What if there was something simple but ignored? This book will liberate you into the goodness of God's grace. Andrew, himself, suffered from an illness, and in his healing journey, he discovered that God hasn't changed since the beginning of days. God still love to save, heal and prosper his children. However, He works in ways that are guided by the laws of the spirit. One simply has to discover these laws and cooperate with them. These are the keys of the kingdom that Jesus came to give us.In every healing Jesus performed in the gospels, there was a degree of responsibility taken by those who came to him. Responsibility sounds like a big word, but when you discover your true identity, you will walk in divine order. You will learn to take responsibility and your life will be orderly. You may have picked up this book because you needed healing in your body. But I promise you that you will learn way more than just getting your body healed. You will learn to live with supernatural health. You will learn to live from your heart. You will understand how the kingdom of God works.

This study presents Andrew David's field survey and excavation, including the results of excavations at the Nab Head and Daylight Rock in Pembrokeshire. It integrates these results with existing data to reappraise the chronology of Palaeolithic and Mesolithic settlement in Wales identifying phases of cultural transition.

The construction of a natural gas pipeline across southern Wales and into Herefordshire and Gloucestershire between 2005 and 2007 resulted in numerous archaeological discoveries, including sites of national significance. The project not only produced a wealth of new archaeological sites, it also generated important radiocarbon and environmental datasets for the region.The earliest activity is indicated by worked flint of Mesolithic (or earlier) date, with the earliest Neolithic communities represented by pits, evidence for occasional timber houses, and the discovery of a previously unknown henge. Beaker and Bronze Age settlement and burial remains were found too, including a rare copper halberd. The excavations also produced evidence for Early Bronze Age houses and numerous examples of burnt mounds.Other discoveries comprised much new evidence for Iron Age settlement (including some in areas of upland), Roman roads, crop-processing ovens, and ironworking. Rare evidence for the early medieval period was also found, along with the remains of later farmsteads and field systems. Moves towards industrialisation were reflected in the discovery of a brick kiln and charcoal-burning platforms.
