The Royal Navy has always been seen as an English institution, despite a large Scottish contribution, from Admiral Duncan at Camperdown in 1797 to Andrew Cunningham in the Second World War. The Royal Navy's most dramatic effect on Scotland, aside from its role in the British Empire and European wars, was in suppressing the Jacobite campaigns from 1708 to 1746. This book breaks new ground in telling the stories of almost forgotten campaigns, such as the submarine war in the Firth of Forth in 1914-18. In two world wars, and since the 1960s, a large proportion of the Navy's power has been based in Scotland, from the Grand Fleet at Scapa Flow to Trident submarines at Faslane. Most British sailors of the Second World War had part of their training in Scotland, and the famous base at Tobermory was only one of many. Yet, the Navy never felt at home in Scotland. As one Scottish admiral put it, 'In both wars the Royal Navy flooded into Scotland to make use of our deep water ports and sea lochs for large-scale and safer anchorages. After each war the Navy unimaginatively retreated en masse to the Channel.' The book ends with a unique account of the setting up of the controversial missile bases in the Holy Loch and Gareloch. Brian Lavery then looks at the future in order to determine the effect devolution and possible independence might have on Scotland and the Royal Navy.

Geraint G. Jenkins - Welsh Language and Its Social Domains, A Social History of the Welsh Language ( 2000).jpg

This book seeks to shed new light on the distinctive place which Welsh occupied in a variety of social domains, the factors which promoted its welfare and the obstacles which stunted its growth. It is a well-known fact that English was reckoned to be the language of progress in this period, and robust groups of utilitarians, Darwinians, Celtophobes and upwardly-mobile Welsh speakers believed that Welsh and its sister Celtic languages were a grave, even absurd, social handicap. Those who were convinced that Welsh had no place in a swiftly modernizing society used their best endeavours to cordon it off into homespun, benign and ‘unpolitical’ domains such as the home, the rural workplace, the chapel and the local eisteddfod. However, the content of this volume presents a different picture.

Brian Lugioyo - Martin Bucer's Doctrine of Justifi cation, Reformation Theology and Early Modern Iren icism (2010).jpg

Historia2 - Brian Lugioyo - Martin Bucers Doctrine of Justificatio..., Reformation Theology and Early Modern Irenicism 2010.jpg

Martin Bucer has usually been portrayed as a diplomat who attempted to reconcile divergent theological views, sometimes at any cost, or as a pragmatic pastor who was more concerned with ethics than theology. These representations have led to the view that Bucer was a theological light-weight, rightly placed in the shadow of Luther and Calvin. This book makes a different argument.
Bucer was an ecclesial diplomat and a pragmatic pastor, yet his ecclesial and practical approaches to reforming the Church were guided by coherent theological convictions. Central to his theology was his understanding of the doctrine of justification, an understanding that Brian Lugioyo argues has an integrity of its own, though it has been imprecisely represented as intentionally conciliatory. It was this solid doctrine that guided Bucer's irenicism and acted as a foundation for his entrance into discussions with Catholics between 1539 and 1541. Lugioyo demonstrates that Bucer was consistent in his approach and did not sacrifice his theological convictions for ecclesial expediency. Indeed his understanding was an accepted evangelical perspective on justification, one to be commended along with those of Luther and Calvin.

Jon Morter - The Chora of Croton 1, The Neolithic Settlement at Capo Alfiere (2010).jpg

From 1974 to the present, the Institute of Classical Archaeology (ICA) at the University of Texas at Austin has carried out archaeological excavations and surveys in ancient territories (chorae) in southern Italy. This wide-ranging investigation, which covers a large number of sites and a time period ranging from prehistory to the Middle Ages, has unearthed a wealth of new information about ancient rural economies and cultures in the region. These discoveries will be published in two multivolume series (Metaponto and Croton). This volume on the Neolithic settlement at Capo Alfiere is the first in the Croton series.
The Chora of Croton 1 reports the excavation results of a remarkable Neolithic site at Capo Alfiere on the Ionian coast. Capo Alfiere is one of a very few early inhabitation sites in this area to have been excavated extensively, with a full team of scientific specialists pring interdisciplinary studies on early farming and animal husbandry. It pres comprehensive documentation of the economy, material culture, and way of life in the central Mediterranean in the sixth and fifth millennia BC. Most notable are the remains of a wattle-and-daub hut enclosed within a massive stone wall. Unique for this area, this well-preserved structure may have been used for special purposes such as ritual, as well as for habitation. The presence of Stentinello wares shows that the range of this pottery type extended further east than previously thought and casts new light on the development of ceramics in the area.

Historia2 - Richard H. Grove - Green Imperialism, Colonial Expansi...ns and the Origins of Environmentalism, 1600-1860 1995.jpg

Green Imperialism is the first book to document the origins and early history of environmentalism, concentrating especially on its hitherto unexplained colonial and global aspects. It highlights the significance of Utopian, Physiocratic, and medical thinking in the history of environmentalist ideas. The book shows how the new critique of the colonial impact on the environment depended on the emergence of a coterie of professional scientists, and demonstrates both the importance of the oceanic island "Eden" as a vehicle for new conceptions of nature and the significance of colonial island environments in stimulating conservationist notions.

Andrew Smith, William Hughes - Empire and the Goth ic, The Politics of Genre (2003).jpg

This innovative volume considers the relationship between the Gothic and theories of Post-Colonialism. Contributors explore how writers such as Salman Rushdie, Arunhati Roy, and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala use the Gothic for postcolonial ends. Post-Colonial theory is applied to earlier Gothic narratives in order to re-examine the ostensibly colonialist writings of William Beckford, Charlotte Dacre, H. Rider Haggard, and Bram Stoker.

Gavriel D. Rosenfeld, Paul B. Jaskot - Beyond Berl in, Twelve German Cities Confront the Nazi Past (2 008).jpg

Beyond Berlin breaks new ground in the ongoing effort to understand how memorials, buildings, and other spaces have figured in Germany's confrontation with its Nazi past. The contributors challenge reigning views of Germany's postwar memory work by examining how specific urban centers apart from the nation's capital have wrestled with their respective Nazi legacies. A wide range of West and East German cities is profiled in the volume: prominent metropolises like Hamburg, dynamic regional centers like Dresden, gritty industrial cities like Wolfsburg, and idyllic rural towns like Quedlinburg. In employing historical, art historical, anthropological, and geographical methodologies to examine these and other important urban centers, the volume's case studies shed new light upon the complex ways in which the confrontation with the Nazi past has directly shaped the German urban landscape since the end of the Second World War.
"Beyond Berlin is one of the most fascinating, deeply probing collections ever published on Germany's ongoing confrontation with its Nazi past. Its editors, Gavriel Rosenfeld and Paul Jaskot, have taken the exploration of Germany's urban memorial landscape to its highest level yet."
---James E. Young, Professor and Chair, Department of Judaic and Near Eastern Studies, University of Massachusetts Amherst, and author of The Texture of Memory and At Memory's Edge
"This is a top-notch collection of essays that positions itself in the populated field of memory studies by bringing together original contributions representing the best of new scholarship on architecture, urban design, monuments, and memory in East and West Germany. Taken together, the essays remind readers that the Nazi past is always present when German architects, urban planners, and politicians make decisions to tear down, rebuild, restore, and memorialize."

James D. Woods & David A.E. Pelteret - The Anglo S axons, Synthesis and Achievements (1986).jpg

This book is not a synthesis, but it does celebrate an achievement, because it consists of the papers given at a colloquium on "The Anglo-Saxons and their neighbours" held at Scarborough College in the University of Toronto in 1979. One can see that it must have been a most stimulating occasion, especially since several of the papers are concerned with subjects which were real growth-points in 1979, but a great deal of its impact has been lost by the delay of six or seven years before its publication.
The volume is dedicated to the memory of two of its most distinguished contributors, who unfortunately did not see its publication. In "The Boundaries of Old English Literature," Angus Cameron argues forcefully that Neil Ker's Catalogue of Manuscripts containing Anglo-Saxon (1957) is "the most important contribution which has ever been made to the study of Old English literature. "Why? Because it enables scholars to establish the complete corpus of Old English literature, which can now be seen to consist of some 2,300,000 running words of text. Surprisingly poetry accounts for only 8½ percent of the total. What were the other 91½ percent about? Cameron tells us, and all Anglo-Saxonists should read him. Colin Chase is equally interesting in his exploration of the contrast of the thought-worlds of Bede and Beowulf. Borrowinga phrase from Patrick Wormald, he concentrates on the "zone of silence" between them and asks how they could possibly have belonged to the same civilization. As with Cameron, Anglo-Saxonists should read him and consider his argument carefully.
The papers are not arranged in any chronological or thematic order-a fact which will be regretted by those in search of a synthesis-but are printed (presumably) in the order in which they were delivered. Nonetheless, Colin Chase's theme is taken up by other papers at various points in the book. J. Douglas Woods uses a computer and lexicostatistics, not only to compare Old Saxon with Anglo-Saxon, but also to discover how far the Old Saxon author of Heliand succeeded in accommodating the heroic world to that of Christianity. More conventionally, John Corbett writes about Oswald and Cuthbert as two holy men in a post-Peter-Brown vein. Claude Evans gives an admirable introduction to "the Celtic Church in Anglo-Saxon times," a model of how to make a learned paper interesting for experts and non-experts alike. In a narrower field Antoinette di Paolo Healey explores the Anglo-Saxon attitude to the New Testament Apocrypha, though here the non-expert will probably need more information about what these apocryphal writings were, and how they were viewed elsewhere in Christendom.
There are two excellent papers on aspects of Anglo-Saxon society. In "Domestic peace and public order in Anglo-Saxon Law," Rebecca Colman considers the term hamsocn which first occurs strangely late (936 x 946) in English laws, but owed its importance to the fact that "an isolated homestead would contain within its confines subsistence for its occupants from one harvest to the next." In "Slavery in Anglo-Saxon England" David Pelteret investigates a topic which is too often slurred over...
