The construction of a natural gas pipeline across southern Wales
and into Herefordshire and Gloucestershire between 2005 and 2007
resulted in numerous archaeological discoveries, including sites of
national significance. The project not only produced a wealth of
new archaeological sites, it also generated important radiocarbon
and environmental datasets for the region. The earliest activity is
indicated by worked flint of Mesolithic (or earlier) date, with the
earliest Neolithic communities represented by pits, evidence for
occasional timber houses, and the discovery of a previously unknown
henge. Beaker and Bronze Age settlement and burial remains were
found too, including a rare copper halberd. The excavations also
produced evidence for Early Bronze Age houses and numerous examples
of burnt mounds. Other discoveries comprised much new evidence for
Iron Age settlement (including some in areas of upland), Roman
roads, crop-processing ovens, and ironworking. Rare evidence for
the early medieval period was also found, along with the remains of
later farmsteads and field systems. Moves towards industrialisation
were reflected in the discovery of a brick kiln and
charcoal-burning platforms.
Evelyn Barrett has a new job, a new baby, and a new life--of sorts.
Nearly crushed by the horrific abduction and murder of her daughter
(book 1, Unholy Hunger), Evelyn is moving on as best she can.No
longer allowed to practice law, she is recruited by one of the
detectives from her daughter's case to become a police consultant.
Her inaugural case becomes a baptism by fire as she joins the hunt
for a chillingly methodical and sadistic serial rapist and
murderer.Her revulsion and anger fuels a passion for justice . . .
and then it becomes personal. Her friend and law school roommate,
Jen, becomes a victim. The rapist has made a catastrophic mistake
with Jen: he has left her alive and able to talk.Filled with the
chilling tension of Unholy Hunger, Hands of Darkness explores the
emotional and spiritual consequences for all involved when justice
and compassion collide head-on with the darkest examples of human
depravity.
Evelyn Barrett wants to die. As long as her daughter's murderer
dies with her, she is ready to go. Why did this man--this
stranger--destroy her family? Why has he not been brought to
justice? Why is she forced to live a life of anger and grief? Amid
a million questions she cannot answer, Evelyn knows one thing for
sure: this murderer must be punished for his crime.
Before it all, she was a successful attorney who won all the
hard cases. Now that the case is personal, Evelyn will stop at
nothing to seek her own version of justice. When another girl goes
missing, Evelyn plows forward, ignoring the warnings from police
detectives, the pleas of her grief-stricken husband, and the
strange, almost supernatural tingles that tug at her. But as she
follows the stench of evil, Evelyn learns that the hardest thing
she will have to face may not be the death of her child after all.
Perhaps the harder lesson is this: the ultimate truth--of crime and
verdict, of life and death--cannot be swayed by a mother's
revenge.
In this first book of a new, page-turning series, a woman will
be brought to her limits before she finally recognizes the movement
of the Holy Spirit and reconnects with the source of true
peace.
All aspects of the cult of St David, patron saint of Wales, are
examined in this wide-ranging volume. The cult of St David has been
an enduring symbol of Welsh identity across more than a millennium.
This volume, published to commemorate the fourteenth centenary of
the death of the saint, traces the evidence for the cult of St
David through archaeological, historical, hagiographical,
liturgical, and toponymic evidence, and considers the role of the
cult and church of St David in the history of Welsh society,
politics, and landscape. The collection includesa new edition and
translation of the Life of St David by Rhygyfarch, based on the
text in British Library Ms. Cotton Vespasian A.xiv, as well as new
evidence concerning the relics of the saint enshrined in St Davids
Cathedral. J. WYN EVANS is the Dean of St Davids Cathedral.
JONATHAN M. WOODING is Director of the Centre for the Study of

The range of poetic invention that occurred in Renaissance English
literature was vast, from the lyric eroticism of the late sixteenth
century to the rise of libertinism in the late seventeenth century.
Heather James argues that Ovid, as the poet-philosopher of literary
innovation and free speech, was the galvanizing force behind this
extraordinary level of poetic creativity. Moving beyond mere
topicality, she identifies the ingenuity, novelty and audacity of
the period's poetry as the political inverse of censorship culture.
Considering Spenser, Marlowe, Shakespeare, Jonson, Milton and
Wharton among many others, the book explains how free speech was
extended into the growing domain of English letters, and thereby
presents a new model of the relationship between early modern
poetry and political philosophy.

Heather James examines the ways in which Shakespeare handles the
inheritance and transmission of the Troy legend. She argues that
Shakespeare's use of Virgil, Ovid and other classical sources
demonstrates the appropriation of classical authority in the
interests of developing a national myth, and goes on to distinguish
Shakespeare's deployment of the myth from 'official' Tudor and
Stuart ideology. James traces Shakespeare's reworking of the myth
in Troilus and Cressida, Antony and Cleopatra, Cymbeline and The
Tempest, and shows how the legend of Troy in Queen Elizabeth's day
differed from that in the time of King James. The larger issue the
book confronts is the directly political one of the way in which
Shakespeare's textual appropriations participate in the larger
cultural project of finding historical legitimation for a realm
that was asserting its status as an empire.
