This is a question that has preoccupied architects, critics and travellers alike for centuries. Despite the rich variety of buildings around the world, from both Eastern and Western traditions, no popular, fully illustrated, specially photographed survey of the 'greats' has been attempted. Until now." "This unparalleled architectural gift and reference book unveils a world of beauty and genius. Over 350 photographs take the reader on an epic journey celebrating the finest examples of architecture from over 2000 years of civilization, with such highlights as Hagia Sophia; the Gothic and Renaissance cathedrals of Europe; the Islamic masterworks at Isfahan in Iran; the Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal; the Houses of Parliament in London; Le Corbusier's chapel of Notre Dame du Haut at Ronchamp; and Gehry's iconic Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. Deftly splitting the history of architecture into two parts at AD 1500, World Architecture features over 80 buildings, over 40 of which receive in-depth attention in detailed photo essays. Will Pryce's accompanying texts provide an extra dimension of understanding for the contexts, peoples and evolution of architectural history." "For those with an appreciation of architecture, its crowning achievements and its ability to make one inspired, awestruck, or simply humbled, this book - the only one of its kind to contain worldwide photography - conveys all the wonder and excitement of encountering these majestic buildings for the first time. It will fascinate and enchant for many years to come.

Lost lives, new voices : unlocking the stories of the Scottish soldiers at the battle of Dunbar 1650 / by Gerrard, Christopher M.,author.(CARDINAL)810612; Annis, R. G.,author.(CARDINAL)817514; Graves, C. Pamela,author.(CARDINAL)786293; Millard, Andrew,author.(CARDINAL)811350; Caffell, Anwen,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 332-357) and index.In November 2013 two mass burials were discovered unexpectedly on a construction site in the city of Durham in north-east England. Today we know them to be some of the Scottish prisoners who died in the autumn of 1650 in Durham cathedral and castle following the battle of Dunbar on the south-east coast of Scotland. Fought between the English and the Scots, this was one of the key engagements of the War of the Three Kingdoms. Using the latest techniques of skeleton science, this book gives back to the men a voice through an understanding of their childhood and later lives. Archaeological and historical evidence also allows us to reconstruct with vivid accuracy how and why these men vanished off the historical radar. Of the prisoners who survived their ordeal after Dunbar, new evidence has emerged about their involvement in local industries and in one of the great infrastructural projects of the day, the draining of the Fens. Others were sent far away, transported to the colonies as indentured servants to begin a new life at the edge of the known world. Following the trail of their biographies takes us across the Atlantic where the Dunbar men supported each other throughout their lives on the frontiers of New England.
