The objects unearthed in 1939 from an Anglo-Saxon ship-burial at
Sutton Hoo, Suffolk, rank among the most splendid treasures in the
collection of the British Museum. Bringing together fine
craftsmanship from England, Germany, Scandinavia, Alexandria and
far Byzantium, the spectacular finds included gold and garnet
jewellery, silverware, drinking vessels with silver-gilt fittings,
a lyre and a sceptre, as well as the iconic helmet, all
deliberately buried in the early seventh century as grave-goods for
an important, though unidentified, warrior. The Sutton Hoo
ship-burial was one of the most exciting discoveries ever made in
British archaeology. This beautifully designed introduction to the
treasure details the most significant pieces contained within it
and explores the circumstances of its burial, discovery and
excavation, as well as its lasting legacy and fame.
Considering its territorial and social influence and the
superlative nature of its furnishings and collections, Weston Park
is not as well known as one might expect. The house and contents,
with its thousand acre landscape park, was gifted to the nation in
1986 by Richard, 7th Earl of Bradford. Until then, the house had
always passed by descent, often through the female line, and it had
stood at the centre of an estate with a wide geographical spread,
linking it with neighbouring counties and with the urban centres of
Walsall, Bolton and Wigan. Weston Park's owners and staff had a
pivotal role in the development of these places, whilst the family
were involved in national affairs, in politics, the legal
profession, and the military. Their seat at Weston Park provided
not only a fitting home, visited by royalty and politicians, but
also became a repository of important patronage and of collections.
These included, in 1735, the highly significant late seventeenth
and early eighteenth century collection of paintings that had been
assembled by Francis Newport, 1st Earl of Bradford and his younger
son, Thomas. Meticulously researched and beautifully illustrated,
this book seeks to tell the story of the house, its setting,
extraordinary collections, and the influence that it has had on
wider communities through the history of those who have owned and
cared for it.
For nearly three hundred years, from the end of the eighth century
AD until approximately 1100, the Vikings set out from Scandinavia
across the northern world a dramatic time that would change Europe
forever. This book explores the Viking conquest and settlement
across Britain and Ireland, covering the core period of Viking
activity from the first Viking raids to the raids of Magnus
Barelegs, king of Norway. This lively history looks at the impact
of the Viking forces, the development of societies within their
settlements, their trades and beliefs, language and their
interactions with native peoples. Drawing on the superb collection
of the British Museum, together with other finds, sites and
monuments, The Vikings in Britain and Ireland is a
richly-illustrated introduction to the culture, daily life and
times of the Vikings and their legacy which is still visible today.
In this book contributions by archaeologists and numismatists from
six countries address different aspects of how silver was used in
both Scandinavia and the wider Viking world during the 8th to 11th
centuries AD. The volume brings together a combination of recent
summaries and new work on silver and gold coinage, rings and
bullion, which allow a better appreciation of the broader
socioeconomic conditions of the Viking world. This is an
indispensable source for all archaeologists, historians and
numismatists involved in Viking Studies.
Private Risk and Public Dangers is comprised of a collection of
chapters which were originally papers presented in the 1991 British
Sociological Association Conference on Health and Society, and they
address a range of private risks and public dangers. Issues covered
vary from the response to HIV and AIDS and 'foetal alcohol
syndrome' to the nature of accidents. These seemingly diverse
social situations within which emerges is that we need a more
sociologically informed understanding of the personal shading the
public dangers they are expected to manage.
Originally presented as papers in the 1991 British Sociological
Association Conference on Health and Society, Locating Health
represents a valuable addition to the 'health inequalities' debate
by extending our gaze beyond the traditional locations to include
place, consumption and lifestyle. It offers reconceptualization of
key theoretical terms, including work, income, and public/private
domains as well as addressing the reciprocal influence of health
and social location, for example early retirement; and highlighting
the health consequences of multiple locations, such as gender and
class, gender and age.
This colourful activity book is a great way for children to learn
how to write lots of simple three- letter words. Each page has a
different theme with accompanying words, including a fancy-dress
party, a building site, at the beach and lots more. The pages are
wipe-clean for endless practice and ideal for developing pen
control.
Join a group of friendly monsters and learn how to start joining
letters up when writing. Children can write, wipe the page clean,
and write again until they feel fully confident. An approachable
introduction to an important skill, this book provides a sound
start to joined-up handwriting.

Modern medicine is a powerful institution. With the help of highly
developed drugs and surgical techniques, it promises to relieve
suffering, improve the quality of life and extend the life-span.
Conversely, it is expensive for the governments, insurance
companies and individuals who pay for it and sometimes appears to
be insensitive to the needs of those for whom it provides. And
while recent restructuring of health care delivery services has
provided medical practitioners with new challenges, there has been
very little consideration of the range of pressures that they now
face.
"Challenging Medicine" offers a lively re-appraisal of the current
changes to the health service and analyses their effects on the
status and practice of health professionals. It also provides
original debate on the challenges posed from within medicine from
nurses and managers and alternative practitioners, and from outside
by self-help groups, the women's movement and the media.
Edited and written by experienced medical sociologists,
"Challenging Medicine "will continue to provide a text for medical
sociology students and for health care professionals in training
and in practice.

In October 2015, metal detectorist James Mather discovered an
important Viking hoard near Watlington in South Oxfordshire. The
hoard dates from the end of the 870s, a key moment in the struggle
between Anglo-Saxons and Vikings for control of southern England.
The Watlington hoard is a significant new source of information on
that struggle, throwing new light not only on the conflict between
Anglo-Saxon and Viking, but also on the changing relationship
between the two great Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of Mercia and Wessex.
This was to lead to the formation of a single united kingdom of
England only a few years later. The hoard contains a mixture of
Anglo-Saxon coins and Viking silver, and is in many ways a typical
Viking hoard. However, its significance comes from the fact that it
contains so many examples of previously rare coins belonging to
Alfred the Great, king of Wessex (871-99) and his less well-known
contemporary Ceolwulf II of Mercia (874-c.879). These coins provide
a clearer understanding of the relationship between Alfred and
Ceolwulf, and perhaps also of how the once great kingdom of Mercia
came to be absorbed into the emerging kingdom of England by Alfred
and his successors. A major fundraising campaign is being planned
by the Ashmolean to secure this collection for the museum.
