A fascinating book that covers the history and development of something that is unique to the Middle Ages the castle. - Medieval HistoryOver 1,000 castles were built in the century following the Norman Conquest. Most were constructed in the wake of the Conquest itself by the Norman lords and their allies as they took possession of their lands. These conquerors in a hostile land numbered only a few thousand and their castles became both symbols of subjugation and bastions of paranoia.Nevertheless, contrary to the popular perception, medieval castles were more often lived in than fought over. A castle was a fortified feudal residence, a symbol of a lords power and authority and the instrument of regional domination: administrative, judicial and military.Very few castles remain unaltered from when they were first built and none fits neatly into any particular category. Many have succumbed to the ravages of siege warfare, abandonment and despoliation, especially in the aftermath of the English Civil War. Some have been entirely rebuilt and most have been remodelled many times, according to the current military, domestic and architectural fashion. For several there is evidence of continuous occupation from the twelfth century to the present day.Stephen Friar has an encyclopaedic knowledge of all aspects of castles as well as the ability to place issues within a historical context and explain them succinctly and clearly for the non-specialist. From quadrangular castles to shell keeps, garderobes and gargoyles to tournaments, and anarchy to zig-zag moulding, this detailed AZ reference book, with its lavish illustrations, is essential reading for anyone interested in medieval castles.A fascinating book as well as providing a history of British castles, the book also offers advice on how to get the most enjoyment and fulfilment out of your visits. - The Journal

Michael Luksetich started writing when Covid-19 shut down the highly successful bicycle tour and rental business he had owned and run in Amsterdam for over twenty years. After being forced into bankruptcy, what began as a recording of what was happening became his debut memoir, The Only Way Through is Forward: How an American Survived Bankruptcy in Amsterdam During Covid-19. A truly unique autobiographical novel that combines history, wry self-reflection, business acumen, hope during a modern pandemic, and Luksetichs satirical voice. Along with his blogs on Medium and Substack, Luksetich has two other current book projects, A Tour Guides History of Amsterdam and Dont be Stupid: The Uncle Rich Theory of Economics.

Maestro di Cappella del duomo a Gaeta tra 1619 e 1637, Giovanni Battista de Bellis (Itri, 1570 ca. Gaeta 1637) e sicuramente tra i migliori madrigalisti del primo ventennio del Seicento. Il contributo che de Bellis da alla produzione musicale napoletana del primo Seicento, va colto e compreso analizzando non solo gli ambiti musicali da lui indagati, quanto anche il quadro istituzionale di riferimento e il ruolo sociale che ha ricoperto. Il compito di Maestro di Cappella nella cattedrale di SantErasmo, dunque, al di la dello spazio che la liturgia riservava alla musica (ancora oggi largamente insondato e malamente compreso nelle minime parti gia conosciute), nel complesso dei raffronti possibili con altre realta come Napoli e Roma, riveste unimportanza decisiva perche dimostra che la funzione assunta centrale nel panorama regnicolo e in totale sintonia con le linee culturali ed estetiche largamente condivise al tempo in quegli stessi ambiti.

THE STORY OF HOW A WILD MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE EVOLVED INTO AN ELITE OLYMPIC SPORTWhy is the best blood of England to waste itself in scaling hitherto inaccessible peaks, in staining the eternal snow, and reaching the unfathomable abyss never to return? - The Times, 1865In the 1950s, rock climbing was a wild mountain adventure that was defined by a rebellious, bohemian culture and practised by small groups of amateur enthusiasts. Today, rock-climbing has become a professionalised, high-performance, mass-participation Olympic sport. There are now more than 400 climbing walls and over 500,000 people climb regularly in the UK.Ascent tells the story of this remarkable transformation.Anthony King a dedicated climber himself traces the sports evolution through decades of rebellion, innovation and achievement to its place today as a vibrant, diverse culture. His own experiences colour the narrative; we discover not just how climbing developed, but what it feels like to climb and be a climber. More than just a history of the sport, through this story we also see how British society itself has changed.Expansive, immediate and deeply engaging, Ascent is both cultural sport history and lived experience.

Radically lyrical, politically astute, this new collection features six writers whose every word is an act of affirmation.

Whether in Wales or Palestine, Manhattan or the island of Alcatraz itself, we learn that todays Welsh language poetry, with its unique perspective, is as valid as any verse in the world. And, possibly, more vital.If these translations take liberties, none are unforgivable. The spirit of each poem remains unblemished. Here, veteran writers, such as Menna Elfyn, Karen Owen and Iwan Llwyd, mix with the next generations Iestyn Tyne, Llyr Gwyn and Sian Northey. Alcatraz is an essential work for anyone interested in the good health of modern poetry in the UK.

Questa e una storia diversa, raccontata attraverso gli occhi di un bambino che nel 76 non ha ancora compiuto dieci anni e vive i giorni del terremoto in bilico tra lorrore e la favola, la paura e lavventura. Siamo tra San Daniele e Gemona, tra operai jugoslavi e militari canadesi, fantasmi notturni che svolazzano tra le macerie, figure indimenticabili che forse non sono mai esistite, se non nella fervida immaginazione di un bambino Un bambino che sapeva trasformare perfino una tenda militare in un accampamento indiano e il profilo di una montagna nella faccia di quellOrco che talvolta si risveglia, goloso come di case, paesi e carne umana. E cosi la tragedia del terremoto in Friuli si trasforma in unopportunita di crescita, mentre sullo sfondo muore, sepolta sotto le macerie, la civilta contadina.
