It starts with a mishap, then a cover-up. Before he knows it,
Dominic Seeley, an editor in a London publishing house, is caught
in an ever-widening spiral of deception -- and falling for a girl
way out of his league. Actress Nicola Carson is falling too -- down
the slippery slope from Hollywood to hell via rehab -- while Edward
Haymer has reached rock bottom already. A reclusive writer, his
dreams of recognition are fading fast and when yet another
rejection letter strikes a nerve, it triggers a chain reaction that
could crush them all. In this wry yet compassionate portrait of the
'Age of the Unique Selling Point', Peter Davey explores the dark
road that leads to deceit and betrayal -- but also, perhaps, to
being more 'alive for love'.

At the heart of this study lies an illustrated catalogue of over
2,200 clay pipes dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, the
majority of which are held in Yorkshire collections. The size and
topographical range of Yorkshire ensures the county's suitability
as a case study for examining pipe production as well as regional
variations and trade. The extensive catalogue is preceded by a
discussion of the methodology of studying clay pipes, the
documentary evidence for kiln sites and production, Yorkshire clay
sources, the development of the bowl form, the stem, the range of
marks, the distribution and the archaeological evidence for
imported pipes. Lists of pipemakers and associated documents and
inventories are presented in appendices.
In this, the 16th issue of The Archaeology of the Clay Tobacco
Pipe, the subject matter returns to the east coast of the USA, last
visited by the Chesapeake Bay volume (Number XII). A new, extended,
typology for Colono pipes is presented, along with a detailed
analysis of their chronology. A study of the archaeological
evidence at these sites, together with a comparison of the
stylistic elements present on the Colono pipes with examples from
Mali in West Africa and from elsewhere in the African Diaspora
outside North America, strongly supports previous arguments for an
African ethnicity for the Chesapeake finds. The author links the
increasing social hostility towards Africans in the area, as the
century progresses, with changes in the styles observed on the
pipes "investing them with...a symbolic content...as a method of
communicating cultural survival and ethnic solidarity." The work is
of particular significance to prehistorians who lack the means of
studying past societies using historical sources.
This survey highlights the evolution and distribution of pipe
manufacturing in the London parish of Newington, placing it within
the broader context of both local and regional industrial activity.
The study assembles life histories for known makers in the area,
examines the evidence for production sites and describes and
illustrates their products, and analyses the status of pipemakers
in relation to other industries in the area.
This study reports on one of the largest and best dated assemblages
of clay pipes recovered from the site of Port Royal in Jamaica.
Many of the pipes came from Bristol and date to the 17th century
AD. Recovered during excavations at Port Royal between 1981 and
1990, many of the pipes came from sealed contexts and their
distribution could be mapped in detail. Georgia Fox's study
discusses her methodology and the excavations, and includes a large
catalogue and typology and raises questions and issues which are of
relevance on a much wider scale for the study of clay pipes in
Northwest Europe in general.

This is the first book ever devoted to the chambered tombs of the
Isle of Man and, though there are no more than nine surviving
monuments, they are of considerable interest and importance because
of the central location of the island in the north Irish Sea where
cultural influences and traditions of tomb building are mixed –
and no doubt populations too. These monuments, still impressive
reminders of the past in our contemporary landscape, belong to the
early 4th millennium BC when farming, one of the most significant
movers of change in society, first came to the Isle of Man. These
vast stone chambers speak of the power of ancestors, the continuity
of family groups and the importance of the land and territory which
sustained them. Work on this book was begun in the 1960s by Audrey
Henshall, the foremost authority on these monuments in Britain. It
has been edited and brought up to date for publication by Frances
Lynch and Peter Davey and contains a comprehensive study of
previous work on the tombs, new plans and commentary on each site,
and also a review of the associated finds from excavation.
Appendices provide the final reports on previously unpublished
excavations at King Orry’s Grave and Ballaharra.

The London architectural firm Wilkinson Eyre Architects, founded
in 1983, has been drawing attention since the 1990s with its wealth
of innovative and imaginative designs - notably its spectacular and
structurally ambitious bridges. The best-known and most highly
acclaimed are the Gateshead Millennium Bridge (2001) and the Floral
Street Bridge (2003). The firm has won many prizes, including the
RIBA Stirling Prize twice. It has also demonstrated the
increasingly international scope of its activities by entering the
competitions for the Guangzhou West Tower in China and the
Tensegrity Bridge in Washington DC, USA.
This book offers detailed documentation of some 15 structures
and projects, with special attention paid to the context of each
design. The projects presented include the Stirling Prize-winning
Magna Centre in Rotherham, UK; the National Waterfront Museum in
Swansea, UK; the Guangzhou West Tower in China; and the Gatwick
Airbridge, UK, among others.
The collection of almost 1,000 clay pipes from the quarantine port
of Pomegues provides a unique insight into pipe production and use
throughout the Mediterranean and further afield. The author's
exhaustive study makes a significant contribution to knowledge both
of pipe production and circulation in a number of different ways.
Although these have already been recognised and published from a
range of sites throughout the Mediterranean basin, the Pomegues
collection, arriving off Marseilles on ships from many ports of
origin, is by far the most extensive and varied yet collected. This
study establishes a logical nomenclature for the formal and
technical variables that can be observed on these pipes."
