Over the last decade, mazes have been making the newspaper headlines and there has been a worldwide explosion in their construction. Not only in the form of traditional turf mazes of medieval times and hedge mazes, but modern mazes made in a wide variety of new materials including bricks, mirrors and water jets. Even enormous maize mazes which are cut out of fields of growing corn and which last for a single summer season. This book traces the history of the maze in all its forms and uses a mixture of photographs and drawingsto offer a fascinating insight into them.

Bricks and tiles are two of the most universal and ancient building materials and they are able to combine tremendous versatility with the economies and advantages of mass production of standard units. They are employed in repetitive arrangements both to give strength to the structure and to cover surfaces, leading to many different kinds of bonds and styles of surface patterning. Whether you raise your eyes upwards or drop them to look at floors or pavements, there are patterns to be seen and this book draws attention to them. Full of clear colour photographs, and drawings to analyse them, this book will provide designers and artists with a wealth of ideas.

With its concentration on geometrical forms, Islamic design offers a rich source of patterns. Many are taken Moorish Spain and the traditional sites of the Middle East and North Africa, but this book also includes patterns which have been used in mosques in Great Britain. This book provides a photographic exploration of the magnificent designs and analysis of the designs using clear drawings provides designers and artists with ideas and techniques for their own work.

Variations & Finale on the Hymn Tune 'Iste confessor' provides players and audiences with a light-hearted and stylistic set of variations in a French style.

The first volume of a collection of responsorial psalms for use throughout the church year during the Eucharist or Communion Service. These settings, by Robert Fielding, are intended for congregational use led by a cantor or choir. They have accompaniments that are suitable for organ or keyboard. Each setting has been used in worship at Romsey Abbey, Hampshire in the United Kingdom. Indexed for season or theme, the psalms use the translations available in the Church of England Common Worship Psalter (2000) and the ECUSA translation appearing in Celebrating Common Praise (1992). Melody-only versions of the responses for congregations are available in digital form from the author for reproduction in bulletins or projections.
