Public Sculpture of Lancashire and Cumbria is a fascinating book
that provides much needed attention to the best public sculpture
and monuments in these north-west counties. With an invaluable
introduction and notes, the author highlights in particular works
of art that are in need of restoration or protection by local
authorities and other owners.The art works included are mostly in
urban areas however some are tucked away on moors and hilltops, and
can be reached by a modest walk, and are thus less familiar. Many
entries are accompanied by original photographs, often showing
details of the craftsmanship. This book highlights the brilliant
work of local sculptors, including several women, who have been
neglected over the years and were suppressed by the usual dominance
of craftsmen from London and the south east. Their biographies
appear at the end of the book.Locations of the public sculpture are
given and each dedicated entry provides a description and the
measurements of the sculpture; records its inscriptions and its
condition; the reason for its commemoration; the chief advocate and
process of the commission; its sources of funding and cost; the
choice of artist and source of the materials; the relationship
between the artist and the architect; the name of the bronze
founder or builder; the historical and political context; and the
date and details of the unveiling ceremony.

Dominus et Domina Dursley, qui vivebant in aedibus Gestationis
Ligustrorum numero quattor signatis ...' The first words of J.K.
Rowling's timeless classic are more familiar to readers as 'Mr and
Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive ...' Following in the
steps of other great children's classics, including Winnie the Pooh
(winnie ille pu) and Paddington Bear (ursus nomine paddington),
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is available in Latin.
Learners and lovers of Latin will delight in Peter Needham's
sparkling translation, which perfectly captures the wit and
invention of J.K. Rowling's original, now reissued with stunning
new cover art from Jonny Duddle.
In 1912 a young scholar published a slim volume investigating
the social structure of the late Roman Republic, which was in due
course to transform the study of Roman history. The author,
Professor Gelzer, went on to hold the Chair of Ancient History at
Frankfurt and to become the greatest German-speaking historian of
the Roman Republic since Mommsen. In 1921 he published his
"Caesar," which has by now gone through six editions in Germany and
is still the standard account, in any language, of Caesar and his
age. It amply fulfills the author's intent "to give the educated
public a lively picture of the complete political career of one of
the great statesmen of the past."
Based on a conscientious evaluation of the abundant source
materials primarily the writings of Caesar and his contemporaries
Professor Gelzer's portrait renders Caesar in heroic proportions,
destined and determined from the beginning to overthrow a corrupt
aristocracy. The sixth edition (1960), brought up to date and
provided with full annotations by the author, is the basis of this
translation, which for the first time makes the work available in
English.
With Professor Gelzer's approval, some minor errors have been
corrected, both in the text and in the chronological table and the
map at the end of the book, and an analytical index of names has
been added.
