Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Materiel culture encompasses the material remains of conflict, from
buildings and monuments to artefacts and militia, as well as human
remains. This collection of essays, from an international range of
contributors, illustrates the diversity in this material record,
highlights the difficulties and challenges in preserving,
presenting and interpreting it, and above all demonstrates the
significant role materiel culture can play in contemporary society.
Among the many studies are: * the 'culture of shells' * the
archaeology of nuclear testing grounds * Cambodia's 'killing
fields' * the Berlin Wall * and the biography of a medal *the
reappearance of Argentina's 'disappeared' *World War II
concentration camps.

More than most writers, Robert Louis Stevenson requires a Literary
Life. Fascination with Stevenson's life (the 'Stevenson biography'
is almost a minor genre) has tended to eclipse his literary
achievement. This study focuses on Stevenson's writing practice
within the different geographical, cultural and political contexts
that shaped it, from Scotland to the South Seas. Following
Stevenson's own views on biography, the book is not structured
primarily in terms of chronology, but is more a kind of literary
geography than traditional literary history.
