This book was released on 2008-10-06 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACE The purpose of these regional guides to the monuments in the ownership or guardianship of the Office of Works under the Ancient Monuments Acts of I911 and 1931 is to provide visitors with a brief outline of the history and principal features of each type of monument in the area covered by the guide. Almost all the work of conservation and improvement of amenities in connection with these monuments has been carried out since the close of the Great European War. It has been the policy of my Department, while deliberatcly avoiding restoration or rebuilding, to preserve such monuments as have been committed to its care in a manner more worthy of their national importance and historic interest. It has been our aim to make the monuments as intelligible as possible to the ordinary visitor. Individual guide books, the work of experts, for each of the more important monuments either have been published or are in course of preparation. Plans showing successive building dates are included in these monographs and are displayed in frames at the monuments. The Departments custodians have instructions not only to maintain the amenities of the monuments but also to assist visitors with such information as they are able to give. These regional guides are accordingly designed to supplement the more detailed archaological data available by a more general and popular account of all the monuments in a group of counties. It is hoped that they will enable the visitor to know what other monuments exist in the neighbourhood of any one he may happen to visit, and to place any individual monument in its historical setting in relation to other monuments of a similar kind. The story of our past is written not only in history books but in stone. But quite apart from their appeal to our historical sense, many of our monuments are great works of art, the legacy of wonderful craftsmen in successive ages. Until recently, the popular idea of ruins was that they should be picturesque and preferably ivy-clad. To-day, with the advance of knowledge, people want to learn more about the ruins, and to study the styles of building and ornament that may be found in them, without, in most cases, being troubled by the jargon of technical terms. Some of the latter are inevitable even in a popular guide. But in the main, this first of the proposed series of regional guides is written primarily for amateurs, and its production will be justified if it can add to the numbers of those who enjoy and take a pride in our national heritage.....

Download or read book Europe s Lost World written by Vincent L. Gaffney and published by Council for British Archaeology. This book was released on 2009 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This excellent book, which deserves a wide readership, reports on the work of the North Sea Palaeolandscapes Project, which has been researching the fascinating lost landscape of Doggerland which until the end of the last Ice Age connected Britain to the continent in the North Sea area. It aims to make the findings available to a general readership, and show just how impressive they have been, with nearly 23,000km2 mapped. The techniques used to reconstruct the landscape are explained, and conclusions and speculation about the climate and vegetation of the area in the Mesolithic offered. It also tells the story of the rediscovery of Doggerland, and the Mesolithic landscape more generally, from the pioneering work of Clement Reid in the nineteenth century, to the research of Grahame Clark and Bryony Coles in the twentieth. It's also worth pointing out just how well produced and illustrated the book is, and one can only hope that it can spark public interest in a comparatively little known phase of our prehistory.
