Paul Brown; Graeme Chappell

The History Press Ltd
2012
nidottu
This revised edition is an accumulation of two decades of research and fieldwork by the authors, and presents a comprehensive account of the little known prehistoric rock art within the North York Moors area. It covers Northern England’s last major area of rock art and describes the geographical and moorland setting of sites including those associated with other archaeological monuments. Its main focus remains the rock art on Fylingdales Moor near Ravenscar where, following a devastating moorland fire in 2003, over 200 sites were recorded including the stunning ‘Linear Marked Stone’. Included is a new section on recording techniques using laser, photogrammetry and other methods, an updated gazetteer of recently discovered rock art sites in the North York Moors area, and appendices providing details of recent major discoveries within the area. The book offers a rational, clearcut and invaluable source of information to all those with an interest in or intention to study rock art. Paul Brown, independent archaeologist, has discovered many of the finest examples of prehistoric rock art in the UK, and has researched the rock art of regions such as Cumbria, Durham, Northumberland and Scotland.
True Boo: Gator Catchin', Orangutan Boxin', and My Wild Ride to the PGA Tour
From the deep South to the PGA Tour, the hilarious and inspiring memoir of golfer Boo Weekley Ever since his breakout performance at the 2008 Ryder Cup, professional golfer Thomas Brent Weekley, known affectionately as "Boo," has captivated fans with his eccentric, Southern-fried country humor and incredible path to the top of the PGA Tour. True Boo is the candid and often hilarious memoir of a larger-than-life athlete, and a wild behind-the-scenes look at life on the PGA Tour. Boo takes readers on a rollicking journey that begins with his humble childhood growing up in Milton, Florida. Called "a nobody from nowhere" and the "Crocodile Dundee of golf," Boo had to earn respect on the Tour. His game ascended in record time, culminating in his now legendary Ryder Cup victories--going 2-0-1 in his three matches--and his back-to-back Verizon Heritage wins. With stories of his personal relationships with other players on tour including Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, frequent down-home phrases, figures of speech, locker-room language, plenty of "Booisms" and never-before-seen photos, this is a golf book unlike any other.

Water Centric Sustainable Communities

Water Centric Sustainable Communities

The current literature compartmentalizes the complex issue of water and wastewater into its discrete components; technology, planning, policy, construction, economics, etc. Considered from the perspective of sustainability, however, water in the urban environment must be approached as a single resource that can be continuously reused and recycled. This book will be the first to capture all of the current work on this idea in a single, integrated, plan for designing the water-centric cities of the future. From new construction to the retrofitting of existing systems, this book presents the case for a new urban relationship to water, one with a more sustainable connection to the environment and the hydrological cycle. Through case studies of successfully planned and built systems around the world, the book will educate the reader about the need for a new approach to urban water management, and make the case that these changes are not only possible but imperative.

Historic Ships

When we think of our seagoing past, it tends to be about the harbours, docks, and quaysides through which trade passed, or the famous ships such as the Grand Fleet of the Royal Navy, and the great liners that graced the oceans up to the end of the twentieth century. However, our story is expressed as much in the smaller vessels that plied our coasts and rivers as it is through ships such as HMS Victory or SS Great Britain. Most of these smaller vessels are listed in the National Register of Historic Ships and many can be visited or sailed on today. Paul Brown has taken the story of the smaller vessels, which comprise over 90 per cent of the vessels on the register and the accompanying National Archive and Overseas Watch List held by National Historic Ships, and, through this book, paints a picture of the variety and richness of these survivors. The vessels in this book cover all the activities of a thriving maritime society, from workaday ships such as tugs, cargo, fishing and service vessels, through the smaller but vital naval vessels of the Royal Navy and exquisite, elegant steam yachts, to pleasure boats carrying thousands of passengers around our coasts and on our lakes, lochs, canals and rivers.
Leighton Buzzard and Linslade: A History

Leighton Buzzard and Linslade: A History

The towns of Leighton Buzzard and Linslade, separated by the river Ouzel, were both royal estates before Domesday, and straddled the boundary between the Danes and Saxons in the century before that. Henry II gave the Leighton estate to a French abbey, which built a daughter house on the new lands, but war flared with France during the Middle Ages and ownership of the town shuttled between France and England as successive kings confiscated the estate, only to return it again as soon as peace was restored.Much of Leighton was burned down during the Civil War, but the centuries that followed brought settled prosperity to a market town dominated by large inns. The industrial revolution and the advent of improved means of transport turned Linslade, the almost forgotten backwater across the river in Buckinghamshire, into a thriving new town which moved from its old site to be close to the new canal and railway station. The high-quality sand quarried locally became the standard filter for all of Britain's water undertakings and the raw material for fine glass, including that used to build London's Crystal Palace. The London gentry, including two successive Princes of Wales, came to Linslade to hunt, and stabled their horses in the town.Vimy bombers were built in Linslade during the First World War, and both towns saw continued expansion afterwards as new industries grew. The Second World War witnessed an influx of child evacuees from London, a transformation of the town's industries for the war effort, and the arrival of a top secret RAF station. In 1965 Leighton Buzzard and Linslade were amalgamated under local government reorganisation and the latter was brought into Bedfordshire.A period of considerable expansion for both settlements followed. This long awaited, readable and extremely informative history throws light on Leighton and Linslade's fascinating past and will be enjoyed by all those curious about this corner of the county. It is fully illustrated and includes many items reproduced here for the first time.
