| "The Death and Life of Great American Cities by Jane Jacobs (Paperback, 2000)" |
| "In this classic text Jane Jacobs set out to produce an attack on current city planning and rebuilding and to introduce new principles by which these should be governed The result is one of the most stimulating books on cities ever written Throughout the post-war period planners temperamentally unsympathetic to cities have been let loose on our urban environment Inspired by the ideals of the Garden City or Le Corbusier's Radiant City they have dreamt up ambitious projects based on self-contained neighbourhoods super-blocks rigid 'scientific' plans and endless acres of grass Yet they seldom stop to look at what actually works on the ground The real vitality of cities argues Jacobs lies in their diversity architectural variety teeming street life and human scale It is only when we appreciate such fundamental realities that we can hope to create cities that are safe interesting and economically viable as well as places that people want to live in"

| "Culloden by John Prebble (Paperback, 2002)" |
| "This is the story of ordinary men and women involved in the Rebellion who were described on the gaol registers and regimental rosters of the time as 'Common Men' There is little in this book about Bonnie Prince Charlie and other principals of the last Jacobite Rising of 1745 Culloden recalls them by name and action presenting the battle as it was for them describing their life as fugitives in the glens or as prisoners in the gaols and hulks their transportation to the Virginias or their deaths on the gallows at Kennington Common The book begins in the rain at five o'clock on the morning of Wednesday 16 April 1746 when the Royal Army marched out of Nairn to fight the clans on Culloden Moor It is not a partisan book its feeling is for the 'Common Men' on both sides - John Grant charging with Clan Chatten and seeing the white gaiters of the British infantry suddenly as the east wind lifted the cannon smoke and Private Andrew Taylor in a red coat waiting for Clan Chatten to reach him likening them to 'a troop of hungry wolves' Culloden reminds us too that many of the men who harried the glens as ruthlessly as the Nazis in Occupied Europe were in fact Scots themselves It recalls the fact that many men in Prince Charles' army had been forced to join him It shows that a British foot-soldier's wish for a sup of brandy on a cold morning before battle is as much a reality as a Prince's pretensions to a throne The detail for the story told in Culloden has come from regimental Order Books and manuals from contemporary newspapers and magazines from the letters and memoirs of soldiers and officers eye-witness accounts of atrocity and persecution and the personal stories of the victims themselves Culloden is the story not of a Prince but of a people"

Beinhocker shows how 'Complexity Economics' turns conventional wisdom on its head in areas such as business strategy the design of organisations the workings of stock markets and public policy As sweeping in scope as its title The Origin of Wealth is a landmark book that shatters orthodox economic theory and will rewire our thinking about how we came to be here - and where we are going"

| Turner |
| "In this absorbing analysis of the life and art of J M W Turner (1775-1851) Barry Venning argues that it is necessary to look at Turner's work in its original contexts in order to understand thoroughly the painter's creative decisions His early career was dominated by the Napoleonic Wars and on his extensive travels he witnessed far-reaching transformations in social economic and political life Industrialization agrarian change and constitutional reform are all represented in his work but he also made a lifelong study of natural forms and phenomena all of which gave rise to paintings that are as rich in layers of meaning as they are in visual effects Venning covers all aspects of the artist's career concluding with a vigorously fresh look at Turner's artistic legacy"
