Environmental Archaeology: Theoretical and Practical Approaches outlines and assesses the various methods used to reconstruct and explain the past interaction between people and their environment. Emphasising the importance of a highly scientific approach to the subject, the book combines geoarchaeological, bioarchaeological (archaeobotany and zooarchaeology) and geochronological information and examines how these various aspects of archaeology may be used to enhance our knowledge and understanding of past human environments. Drawing from both the practical experiences of the authors and cutting-edge research, Environmental Archaeology: Theoretical and Practical Approaches is a valuable contribution to the subject. It will be essential reading for students and professionals in archaeology, geography and anthropology.

A geographical narrative of Charles Dickens’s life in Kent. Few novelists have written so intimately about a city as Charles Dickens wrote about London, but he was intimately connected to Kent more than any other part of Britain. Perhaps Kent meant more to him than the capital. He had an idyllic childhood in Chatham and Kent features in his first works of fiction, Sketches by Boz and The Pickwick Papers, and in his favorite novel, David Copperfield. In his last ten years, he wrote two novels with strong Kentish themes, Great Expectations and The Mystery of Edwin Drood. He had his honeymoon outside Gravesend and often spent the summer months in Broadstairs. In 1856, he bought Gad’s Hill Place, near Rochester, and died there in 1870. Dickens’s Kent begins with the description of a walk from London to Dickens''s main residence, Gad’s Hill Place, before taking the reader to areas in Kent most closely associated with his life and work: the Medway Towns and their surroundings, Thanet and East Kent, and finally Staplehurst, the scene of the railway accident that nearly killed him.

I really love Peters work. its so full of fun and creativity, using things hes found; maps, letters, stamps, and then creating finished work that has a real sensitivity -Paul Smith, fashion designer. Paperwork includes subjects as varied as animals, fashion, accessories and some of the sources from which Clark derives his inspiration. Old maps, love letters, stamps, playing cards, match boxes, rosettes, buttons, labels, patterns, all form the starting point of Peter Clarks innovative and often humorous paper collages. Clark undertakes many scavenger trips to antiques fair, car-boot sales, bric-a-brac markets and second hand stores to find the right objects to inspire him. Paperwork presents the working methods of this eccentric and unique artist, showing the progression of his work from found ephemera to pieces of art. Accompanied by a background story to his work and beautifully illustrated with full-page pictures, this book provides us with an insight into Peter Clarks practice, from his early works to his most recent collages. Paperwork will inspire anyone with an interest in collage, collecting, portraiture and scrapbooking.

The period between 1500 and 1700 marked a major transition in the historical development of English towns. With the Reformation, many of the characteristic, traditional features of towns were destroyed, and it was not until 1700 that a new urban stability was beginning to emerge from the political and economic crises of the later sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Early chapters look in turn at the different kinds of town, including the county towns and new industrial centers, and describe their salient aspects. The approach of the second half of the book is thematic rather than chronological, exploring the changes that affected—and pressures that afflicted—all towns by examination of their demographic and social structures, their economic and political functions, and their cultural influence. In this lucid synthesis of recent research into urban and local history, the authors reconstruct a picture of the quality of life in Tudor and Stuart towns and, in so doing, present an analysis of the historical processes that decisively shaped early modern urban society. A comprehensive bibliography of new work in the field of urban and local history completes the book. This book has been adopted by the Open University as a set text for the A322 Course. Paul Slack is a Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford. Peter Clark is a lecturer in economic and social history at Leicester University. OXFORD PAPERBACKS UNIVERSITY SERIES The aim of the Oxford Paperbacks University Series is to provide authoritative introductions to most of the important branches of the humanities and sciences. The series thus maintains the aims of the Home University Library, which was founded in 1911 and came under the Oxford imprint in 1941; all the enduring books in that series have been produced in OPUS in new editions after careful revision. New books too, like this one, will be added regularly to OPUS, and their authors, like their HUL predecessors, will be experts in their subjects but selected also for their lucidity in presenting their learning to the layman. The present editors of OPUS are Keith Thomas and Professor J. S. Weiner.
