Winner of the Nicholas Bessaraboff Prize Musical repertory of great
importance and quality was performed on viols in sixteenth- and
early seventeenth-century England. This is reported by Thomas Mace
(1676) who says that 'Your Best Provision' for playing such music
is a chest of old English viols, and he names five early English
viol makers than which 'there are no Better in the World'.
Enlightened scholars and performers (both professional and amateur)
who aim to understand and play this music require reliable
historical information and need suitable viols, but so little is
known about the instruments and their makers that we cannot specify
appropriate instruments with much precision. Our ignorance cannot
be remedied exclusively by the scrutiny or use of surviving antique
viols because they are extremely rare, they are not accessible to
performers and the information they embody is crucially compromised
by degradation and alteration. Drawing on a wide variety of
evidence including the surviving instruments, music composed for
those instruments, and the documentary evidence surrounding the
trade of instrument making, Fleming and Bryan draw significant
conclusions about the changing nature and varieties of viol in
early modern England.

The author investigates the internal logic and evolution of Mao's
theory in terms of various themes. Beginning with a consideration
of conflict, which in Mao's view is a given and permanent component
of society, Professor Starr then takes up the individual concepts
of knowledge and action, authority, class and class conflict,
organization, participation and representation, political
education, political history, and political development. Originally

Papers in Anglo-Norman history including new research on music, the
Bayeux Tapestry and Domesday studies. Papers on a very wide range
of subjects include, for the first time, one on music, on changes
in English chant repertories in the eleventh century; book
migrations are examined over the same period, and one of the two
papers on the Bayeaux Tapestry looks at changing representations of
the "burgheat". There are important papers on law and church
administration and the relations of Normandy and England with other
regions. The development of Rouen is comparedwith that of Paris;
William the Conqueror's relations with Blois and Champagne are
discussed; papers on the frontier with the Scots and on Rhys ap
Teudur, king of Deheubarth are included. Domesday studies,
chronicles and poetry are also represented with new research.

SCAV-ENG-E-OL-O-GY: The study of history through the excavation of
discarded items, exploring people's attics, flying drones, and
stuff. This is Volume 1 of the ongoing SCAVENGEOLOGY JOURNAL,
chronicling the discovery of an 18th century log fort from the
Revolutionary War era, located in modern day West Virginia - but in
what was then the isolated Virginia frontier. "Willowbrook
Plantation," one mile outside of the beautiful small town of Union,
West Virginia, was an antebellum plantation home, lived-in by three
prominent families, spanning the 18th century through the 20th
century. Join in the fun as we explore the items left inside the
house, the items found underneath the ground in the yard, and of
course, uncover the original 18th century log fort, covered in
plaster installed in 1858. It's all about the history.
Self-help Mind Control The material in this book was researched in
the late 1980's, and the author has been a practitioner of the
contents ever since. He waited thirty years to go public with the
methodology just to prove it worked. 30 years without a drink or a
cigarette (3-4 packs of cigarettes and 1 quart of gin daily) and 50
pounds lighter (10 more pounds to go ) I quit "cold turkey" on my
50th birthday so I would always remember the date (November 12
1982)
