New Releases by Victor G. Ambrus

Since 1994, when the first "Time Team" program was broadcast, archaeology has been brought to life for millions of people by Victor Ambrus and Mick Aston. Victor has produced hundreds of sketches and drawings of archaeological sites and the lives of those who would have inhabited them. For the first time, his drawings of individual excavations have been brought together to provide a dramatic chronological survey of British history--from Stone Age to modern via the Romans, the Vikings, and more. Add to this Mick Aston''s lively explanations and photographs, and you have an archaeological collaboration which is guaranteed to delight.

Beleza Negra é um lindo cavalo que vive na Inglaterra vitoriana; ele troca de dono várias vezes, sofre nas mãos de pessoas ignorantes ou cruéis, exerce as mais diversas funções e um dia resolve escrever sua ''autobiografia''. O título da primeira edição da obra, publicada em 1877, era - Beleza Negra, seus cavalariços e companheiros; autobiografia de um cavalo, traduzido do original eqüino por Anna Sewell.

A narrativa de Anna Sewell é complementada por informações sobre doma, tipos de cavalos, funções que esses animais exercem, tratamento que devem receber, arreios, estábulos.
