A practical and engaging introduction to archaeological fieldwork in Britain, this volume explores how archaeologists discover, record, and interpret material remains in the landscape. John Coles, a respected British archaeologist known for his work in experimental archaeology and wetland studies, explains the methods used in surveying, excavation, site recording, and landscape analysis. He places field archaeology within its historical development and emphasizes the importance of careful observation and scientific technique. Clear and accessible, the book offers valuable insight for students, amateur archaeologists, and anyone interested in how Britain’s past is uncovered and understood through systematic field investigation.

The Winston Affair

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 18:57:17 +0000

During the Second World War, a military lawyer is embroiled in the toughest case of his career when he must defend a fellow murderous officer. In the midst of World War II, Captain Barney Adams’s superiors call on him with a very unusual request. A troubled US army lieutenant has confessed to murdering a British officer, and Captain Adams has been assigned as his defense attorney. Military court officials want the cleanest possible trial for the lieutenant, and they believe that Captain Adams, a war hero and distinguished lawyer, is the best man for the job. But when Adams begins to investigate the murder, he finds that this seemingly open-and-shut case is actually much more complicated. Before long he is absorbed in a dramatic struggle for a fair trial against the most overwhelming odds.

The Fairly Incomplete & Rather Badly Illustrated Monty Python Song Book

Mon, 20 Feb 2023 15:57:08 +0000

And now for something completely different, from the Brits who brought us The Spam Song and Every Sperm Is Sacred comes this zany collection of Monty Python song lyrics (with music for playing along at home), interspersed with numerous photos and the wonderful art of Terry Gilliam. Mynot Ponty’s Bongosok!

Conversations with Losey

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 18:03:25 +0000

Edited down from many, many hours of interviews, this is an absolutely fascinating book. Losey comes off as that rare artist able to discuss his work without ego, and to talk about about conflicts and problems with collaborators (and even producers) with humor and understanding and without rancor. His reflections on the impact of the Hollywood Blacklist on himself and others gave me a more vivid impression of that phenomenon that I’ve ever found elsewhere. He discusses every stage of his career, including his collaborations with Brecht, Charles Laughton, Harold Pinter, Dirk Bogarde, Liz and Dick, Tennessee Williams, Alain Delon, Jeanne Moreau, Jane Fonda, etc. While Losey’s intellectual and aesthetic insights are invariably interesting, so are his occasional comments about technical challenges (difficult camera shots, working within budgets, etc.). And a few times his anecdotes made me laugh out loud (as when he describes his first meetings with the Burtons.) For fans of Losey’s work, or for anyone interested in knowing more about independent filmmaking from the inside, this book cannot be too highly recommended.
