| "Snowdrop by Gail Harland (Hardback, 2016)" |
| "Quietly elegant flowers dressed in simple white and green snowdrops look too fragile to cope with wintery weather They are however very resilient and are treasured by gardeners for their ability to flower early in the horticultural year In Snowdrop Gail Harland explores how they have been used by non-gardeners too as symbols of purity and of hope and consolation In Victorian Britain snowdrop bands encouraged chastity among young women; today snowdrops are used as the symbols of several charities Snowdrops are commonly found in flower paintings from the sixteenth century onwards and frequently appear in poetry and prose Medicinally they are a source of galanthamine used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease The gentle beauty of the snowdrop may have attracted the attention of poets and artists for centuries but today snowdrops are more popular than ever before with record-breaking sums being reached for individual bulbs The rise of snowdrop enthusiasts known as galanthophiles has been much commented on and an expanding number of snowdrop events draw enthusiasts from around the world to discuss admire and buy specimens of these enchanting plantsSnowdrop is the ideal companion for galanthophiles or indeed any plant lovers who are interested in the emotional and cultural aspects of these much-loved plants"

| "A decimated Shiite shrine in Iraq The smoking World Trade Center site The scorched cityscape of 1945 Dresden Among the most indelible scars left by war is the destroyed landscapes and such architectural devastation damages far more than mere buildings Robert Bevan argues herethat shattered buildings are not merely collateral damage but rather calculated acts of cultural annihilationFrom Hitler's Kristallnacht to the toppling of Saddam Hussein's statue in the Iraq War Bevan deftly sifts through military campaigns and their tactics throughout history and analyzes the cultural impact and catastrophic consequences of architectural destruction For Bevan these actions are nothing less than cultural genocide Ultimately Bevan forcefully argues for the prosecution of nations that purposely flout established international treaties against destroyed architectureA passionate and thought-provoking cri de coeur The Destruction of Memory raises questions about the costs of war that run deeper than blood and moneyThe idea of a global inheritance seems to have fallen by the wayside and lessons that should have long ago been learned are still being recklessly disregardedThis is what makes Bevan's book relevant even urgent much of the destruction of which it speaks is still under way --Financial Times Magazine The message of Robert Bevan's devastating book is that war is about killing cultures identities and memories as much as it is about killing people and occupying territory--Sunday Times As Bevan's fascinating melancholy book shows symbolic buildings have long been targeted in and out of war as a particular kind of mnemonic violence against those to whom they are special--The Guardian"

| "Rosslyn Chapel is a deeply enigmatic 15th-century Gothic masterpiece situated near Edinburgh Although generally referred to as a 'chapel' and acting as a local parish church these days Rosslyn is actually much more than either - and in fact most people who have studied the site in detail come to the conclusion that those who created the structure in the 15th century were not in reality intent on building a Christian church at all In fact nothing at Rosslyn is what it seems With its overpowering air of mystery its superlative stone carvings and its strong Templar and Freemasonic connections Rosslyn represents one of the most absorbing historical puzzles in Britain The discovery of new evidence by the authors puts a new slant on the motivations of those who decided to create a New Jerusalem in the Scottish Lowlands The signs pointed the authors to a lost holy relic - the skull of St Matthew the Evangelist in whose name the chapel is dedicated There is startling evidence that this skull came to Rosslyn in the early 15th century brought there by polymath librarian and all-round genius Sir Gilbert Hay who also put together a substantial library What follows is no less than an adventure using the clues from the lost books to locate St Matthew's skull - now in Washington DC The authors also embark on a thorough examination of Rosslyn Chapel's credentials both a Christian church and as an icon of the impending Renaissance a reconstruction of King Solomon's Temple and an astronomical observatory - all suffused with ancient beliefs that would have had the chapel's builders burned at the stake if their true motivations had been discovered"
