Written by local experts, Time Out Rome provides extensive coverage of the major sights - and then goes much further. Featuring everything from born-again trattorie to the burgeoning apertif trend, it offers visitors the chance to experience the Eternal City as the Romans do. History in Rome is not confined to museums, basilicas and galleries - it tumbles out everywhere. And though the city is reassuringly compact, this does not stop the cultural...

These papers highlight recent archaeological work in Northern England, in the commercial, academic and community archaeology sectors, which have fundamentally changed our perspective on the Neolithic of the area. Much of this was new work (and much is still not published) has been overlooked in the national discourse. The papers cover a wide geographical area, from Lancashire north into the Scottish Lowlands, recognizing the irrelevance of the England/Scotland...

The late eighteenth century was one of the most exciting and unsettling periods in European history, with the shockwaves of the French Revolution rippling around the world. As this collection of essays by leading scholars shows, Wales was no exception. From political pamphlets to a Denbighshire folk-play, from bardic poetry to the remodeling of the Welsh landscape itself, responses to the revolutionary ferment of ideas took many forms. We see how...

El origen fundacional de las repúblicas iberoamericanas es una de las grandes cuestiones de la historia del siglo XIX. Este libro es muy diferente a los que se han publicado acerca de las independencias iberoamericanas en estos años conmemorativos de los bicentenarios. Su principal objetivo es contribuir desde la reflexión, desde el debate y desde la aportación rigurosa de los especialistas, a superar los planteamientos decimonónicos de la historiografía...

El catarismo es un movimiento religioso que se propagó durante el siglo X por el occidente de Europa, logrando su mayor expansión en el siglo XII entre los habitantes del Midi francés, especialmente en la zona del Languedoc, gracias a la protección de algunos señores feudales, vasallos de la Corona de Aragón. La Iglesia católica los declaró herejes y fueron perseguidos hasta lograr su erradicación durante la cruzada albigense (1209-1244)....

Mobility is a fundamental facet of being human and should be central to archaeology. Yet mobility itself and the role it plays in the production of social life, is rarely considered as a subject in its own right. This is particularly so with discussions of the Neolithic people where mobility is often framed as being somewhere between a sedentary existence and nomadic movements. This latest collection of papers from the Neolithic Studies Group seminars...

For more than a century flint daggers have been among the most closely studied and most heavily published later prehistoric lithic tools. It is well established that they are found across Europe and beyond, and that many were widely circulated over many generations. Yet, few researchers have attempted to discuss the entirety of the flint dagger phenomenon. The present volume brings together papers that address questions of the regional variability...

Could the circulation of objects or ideas and the mobility of artisans explain the unprecedented uniformity of the material culture observed throughout the whole of Europe? The 17 papers presented here offer a range of new and different perspectives on the Beaker phenomenon across Europe. The focus is not on Bell Beaker pottery but on social groups (craft specialists, warriors, chiefs, extended or nuclear families), using technological studies and...

Esta es una obra de vital importancia sobre la "guerra de los treinta años", posiblemente, como se ha descrito en ocasiones, la "guerra civil europea". Trata la misma desde distintos puntos de vista, hecho que podría parecer baladí pero que en realidad encierra lo que le hace imprescindible para comprender la época y el desarrollo de la misma. Describe la guerra desde los puntos de vista español, alemán, inglés, escandinavo, francés, italiano,...
