The revival of 1904-05 had a profound effect not only on Wales, but
also on many other nations. This volume of academic papers from the
centenary conference in 2004 explores the local and International
Impact of the revival as well as previous eighteenth- and
nineteenth-century Welsh revivals. Contributors include David
Bebbington and Mark A. Noll.
The Yorkshire Dales is one of Britain's finest landscapes. The
small fields enclosed by dry stone walls; the limestone pavements;
the Yorkshire Three Peaks; the tumbling cascades and waterfalls;
the high hillside cliffs; and the areas of wild moorland have made
the compelling and unique landscape of the Yorkshire Dales popular
with walkers and tourists for generations. This book is intended
for the walker who has an appreciation of the natural landscape and
an interest in how it has developed over time. It is divided into
two parts: the first part provides simplified information on the
geological history of the Yorkshire Dales. It then presents 14
recommended walks, of varying lengths, where the effects of the
underlying geology can be easily seen and where the subsequent
processes of erosion can be understood in finer detail. The walks
are also in areas where the natural beauty of the Dales can be seen
to its full extent and its shaping can be better appreciated.

Aberystwyth was created in 1277 when Edward I, having built a new
stone castle, granted a charter to the nearby settlement. It
remained a small settlement until the end of the eighteenth century
when it became fashionable for the gentry and nobility to visit the
'Brighton of Wales'. Ship-building developed during the 1770s and,
later, foundries and other industries were set up to support the
needs of a growing community. The port declined with the arrival of
the railway in 1864, which linked the town with the Midlands and,
later, South Wales. By 1872 the former Castle Hotel had been sold
and reopened as the University College of Wales. By the turn of the
century Aberystwyth had become firmly established as a tourist
resort, a market town and a centre of learning. Since the Second
World War, however, and the increase in the number of people
spending holidays abroad, Aberystwyth's popularity as a seaside
resort has declined, but to many it remains the cultural capital of
Welsh-speaking Wales. This book records the changing face of
Aberystwyth and pays homage to the people and places that helped to
make it the thriving town it is today.
