Conquerors of Time celebrates 150 years of courage, energy,
innovation, resourcefulness and grand ideas, from the late 17th
century to the early 20th. It's about the seafarers, engineers,
inventors and trailblazers who enabled the British to hold together
a vast empire and the Americans to push their frontiers west. Some,
such as Captain Cook and Robert Stephenson are famous. Others, like
the makers of chromonometers, the collectors of tropical plants or
the railway engineers who roughed it in the Canadian wilderness are
less well-known. What they all had in common is a desire to
understand the world and a determination to harness the forces of
nature. 'Trevor Fishlock's brio and broad vision matches those of
his subjects and makes for a rattling good read.' Lawrence James,
Daily Mail 'Fact-filled and highly evocative ... the sheer romance
of the story is irresistible.' Sunday Telegraph

The Senedd was designed to be a bridge into the future, emerging
from a long historical and political evolution. Designed by
architect Richard Rogers, the building rose as the country's
distinctive ultra-modern forum, the expression of the people's
voices and diversity. This illustrated book by Trevor Fishlock,
with photographs by Andrew Molyneux, explores the background to the
Assembly's site in Cardiff Bay, and the government in Wales. The
photographs illustrate the beauty of the building's architecture:
its construction, technology and symbolism. The book is ideal for
those with an interest in politics and architecture.
