In this fascinating study the author traces the changes in the form and fabric of villages and village life from prehistoric times to the present day. The most important features to emerge are that, contrary to general belief, villages are constantly changing, and many of those we see today are relatively recent creations. However, if villages as we know them are to survive into the twenty-first century, considerable thought will have to be given to redesigning their economic and social structure.

Soft cover. Condición: Good. Reprint. Paperback. Slight crease to front cover. Small closed tear to spine. New Introduction by Clive T. Probyn. 'The proper study of mankind is man'. Thus apt;ly did Alexander Pope sum up his own art, for man in society was both his subject and his audience. Yet, peculiarly disadvantaged from the start by his Roman Catholic background and by physical disability, although Pope write from within the social scene he was himself never fully part of it, and his fearless attacks on contemporary society arounsed a violent hostility which marked the whole of his areer. In his poety as in his life, Poe's values were defined in conflict and through transformations: for him poetry was made from the interaction of the past and present, the private and the public, and his career was influenced both by inherited modes of expression and by his own eighteenth-century present. Clive Probyn's new introduction discusses Pope's life and art, and considers the nature of his genius, both as a product of its own time and for succeeding generations, stressing the view that the poet has a central place in society, whether as celebrant or opponent. 408 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

How to assess your own name or the name you have chosen for your child. This book contains the most comprehensive collection of facts and figures ever assembled about the first names of the English-speaking world. You will find it fascinating, absorbing - and important. For this information - now made available for the first time - will change the way you think about your own first name and those of other people. The book falls naturally into three main sections. Beginning with some of the psychological aspects of first names, taking in nicknames, role names and the supernatural poers that are often attributed to personal names. The author then turns to the historical development of first names. This ranges from the Norman 'Name Conquest' of 1066 to the new names created this century. Included in this chronological survey are the formation of some of our surnames from first names, the subsequent use of surnames as first names, the extraordinary Puritan names of the seventeenth century and the emergence of pet names in the eighteenth century. A chapter on the names that were fashionable in Britain and America a hundred years ago completes this historical section. The third section brings first names into the twentieth century. Modern trends, such as the spelling of old names in a fancy way or the invention of new names - especially for girls - are fully discussed. 285 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
