Raymond Lodge's death from shell shrapnel in 1915 was unremarkable
in a war where many young men would die, but his father's response
to his untimely death was. Sir Oliver Lodge, physicist, scientist,
part inventor of the wireless telegraph and the spark plug, could
not let go of Raymond and went on a controversial and bizarre
journey into the realm of life after death. Following Sir Oliver's
journey, Dear Raymond, explores the untapped topic of spirituality
pre- and post-war, the influence that a national tragedy can have
on a nation's belief system and the long lasting effects from this
time that we still feel today. Alongside Lodge were some of the
great names of the day, as a member of the Ghost Club and the
Fabian Society he was in contact with famous men such as Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle, who went on his own mission into the afterlife after
losing a son. Lodge's exploration and the controversy it exploded
opens our eyes to how modern religion has been shaped and changed
by the conflicts of the Twentieth Century.

serial poisoner. Who is determined to take revenge on the town?

realises there is cold calculation behind the poisonings. His hunt

Now in its second edition, this book provides a practical guide to
measured building surveys with special emphasis on recording the
fabric of historic buildings. It includes two new chapters dealing
with modern survey practice using instruments and photographic
techniques, as well as a chapter examining recording methods as
used on a specific project case study undertaken by the Museum of
London Archaeology Service. Measured surveys for producing accurate
scaled drawings of buildings and their immediate surroundings may
be undertaken for a variety of reasons. The principal ones are to
provide a historic record, and to form the base drawings upon which
a proposed programme of works involving repairs, alterations,
adaptations or extensions can be prepared. This book provides a
practical guide to preparing measured surveys of historic
buildings, with special emphasis on recording the fabric. The text
assumes little previous knowledge of surveying and begins by
describing basic measuring techniques before introducing elementary
surveying and levelling. From these principles, the practices and
techniques used to measure and record existing buildings are
developed in a detailed step-by-step approach, covering sketching,
measuring, plotting and drawing presentation. For this new edition
the text on hand survey methods has been revised to note where new
techniques and equipment can be incorporated, as well as explaining
where more advanced survey methods may be best used to advantage.
Information on locating early maps and plans, aerial photography
and its uses, documentary research, procurement of surveys and
conventional photography has been incorporated at various points as
appropriate. In addition, Ross Dallas provides two new chapters
dealing with modern survey practice using instruments and
photographic techniques. Also, the opportunity has been taken to
present a wider view of building recording projects by including a
new chapter from the Museum of London Archaeological Service
(MoLAS) building recording team. It encompasses their five key
principles for recording within an illustrative case study.
Hanna Reitsch longed to fly. Having broken records and earned the
respect of the Nazi regime, she was the first female Luftwaffe test
pilot, and eventually became Adolf Hitler's personal heroine. An
ardent Nazi, Hanna was prepared to die for the cause, first as a
test pilot for the dangerous V1 flying bombs and later by
volunteering for a suggested Nazi 'kamikaze' squadron. After her
capture she complained bitterly of not being able to die with her
leader, but she went on to have a celebrated post-war flying
career. She died at the age of 67, creating a new mystery - did
Hanna kill herself using the cyanide pill Hitler had given her over
thirty years earlier? Hitler's Heroine reveals new facts about the
mysterious pilot and cuts through the many myths that have
surrounded her life and death, bringing this fascinating woman back
to life for the twenty-first century.
