Download or read book Dungeness and Romney Marsh written by Antony Long and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2007-09-20 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Romney Marsh / Dungeness Foreland depositional complex comprises an extensive tract of marshland and associated sand and gravel barrier deposits, located in the eastern English Channel. This monograph presents the results of a programme of palaeoenvironmental investigation aimed at improving our understanding of this internationally-significant coastal landform. The focus is on the evidence for landscape change during the late Holocene, from c. 3000 BC onwards, and on identifying the local, regional and global driving mechanisms responsible for the changes observed. The research details the results from two related projects, each funded as part of English Heritage's Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund scheme. The first project concerns the late Holocene evolution of the port of Rye, located in the southeast part of the complex, and the second the depositional history of the gravel foreland. Topics explored include the vegetation and land-use history of the study area, methodological issues relating to the collection and interpretation of radiocarbon dates from coastal lowlands, the role of compaction in influencing landscape and sea-level change, and the effects of medieval storms on coastal flooding and landscape change. This monograph is intended for students and researchers interested in Holocene coastal evolution and sea-level change, coastal vegetation history and land-use history, and the development of new techniques for reconstructing past environmental change in coastal lowlands.

Download or read book Life on Marsh written by Andy Holyer and published by . This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Niko's enthusiastic pursuit of folklore, myths, and all the things that help to make the Universe the amazing place that it is, melded with the evocative images of Andy Holyer, brings to life the legend and lore of Romney Marsh. Niko lives in Kent with his wife Rachel and sons Robert and Jonathan. His career has spanned from being a leading designer of microchips to being a purveyor of fish and chips. His hobbies include megalithic engineering (building full size stone circles), chainsaw carving, silversmithing and mushrooms. Andy was born in Lydd and, following a protracted sojourn in Yorkshire, returned to live in the town with partner Jenny and an unquenchable obsession with local history. His vibrant and colourful paintings cast a unique and uncompromising light on the history and culture of Romney Marsh. Together, Andy and Niko have produced a book that reflects the character of the Marsh itself - whimsical, provoking; a place of wide open skies and dark secrets; where light and colour can as soon give way to impenetrable mist and shade. What more likely guides to lead us on a journey through the mysteries and magic of the 'sixth continent'?

Book excerpt: An "excellent," darkly-told crime novel in the tradition of Tana French and Ian Rankin (Wall Street Journal). Sergeant Alexandra Cupidi is a recent transfer from the London metro police to the rugged Kentish countryside. She's done little to ingratiate herself with her new colleagues, who find her too brash, urban, and -- to make matters worse -- she investigated her first partner, a veteran detective, and had him arrested on murder charges. Now assigned the brash young Constable Jill Ferriter to look after, she's facing another bizarre case: a woman found floating in local marsh land, dead of no apparent cause. The case gets even stranger when the detectives contact the victim's next of kin, her son, a high-powered graphic designer living in London. Adopted at the age of two, he'd never known his mother, he tells the detectives, until a homeless womanknocked on his door, claiming to be his mother, just the night before: at the same time her body was being dredged from the water. Juggling the case, her aging mother, her teenage daughter, and the loneliness of country life, Detective Cupidi must discover who the woman really was, who killed her, and how she managed to reconnect with her long lost son, apparently from beyond the grave.

Book excerpt: Police Sergeant William South has a good reason to shy away from murder investigations: he is a murderer himself. A methodical, diligent, and exceptionally bright detective, South is an avid birdwatcher and trusted figure in his small town on the rugged Kentish coast. He also lives with the deeply buried secret that, as a child in Northern Ireland, he may have killed a man. When a fellow birdwatcher is found murdered in his remote home, South's world flips. The culprit seems to be a drifter from South's childhood; the victim was the only person connecting South to his early crime; and a troubled, vivacious new female sergeant has been relocated from London and assigned to work with South. As our hero investigates, he must work ever-harder to keep his own connections to the victim, and his past, a secret. The Birdwatcher is British crime fiction at its finest; a stirring portrait of flawed, vulnerable investigators; a meticulously constructed mystery; and a primal story of fear, loyalty and vengeance. **Longlisted for the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year
