Despite their ubiquitous presence among prehistoric remains in Greece, ground stone tools have yet to attract the same kind of attention as have other categories of archaeological material, such as pottery or lithics. Flexible Stones provides a detailed analysis of the material discovered during the excavations at Franchthi Cave, Peloponnese, Greece. Approximately 500 tools, the raw material used for their manufacture, as well as the byproducts of such manufacture were found. Most of this collection comes from the Neolithic component of the site-including a small number of Palaeolithic and Mesolithic cases-with a large number of the studied tools indicating multiple uses. Anna Stroulia sees the multifunctional character of these tools as a conscious choice that reflects a flexible attitude of tool makers and users toward tools and raw materials. A CD-Rom with 209 additional plates is included._,

Excerpt from Norwich and the BroadsThe Friends, as represented by the Gurney family the most widely known member of which was the philanthropist Mrs. Fry - and the Unitarians, as re presented by the Martineaus. Harriet and James Martineau were both born and educated here, James was a contemporary of George Borrow at the Grammar School, and had to serve as horse when Borrow was ogged for a boyish escapade - a fact which the author resented so deeply, that when grown to man hood he refused to attend a party at which Dr. Martineau was to be present! Then, too, if we are recalling the things which make Norwich a centre of fascination, there must be mention made, though necessarily of the briefest, of the artists who form the Norwich School-the Cromes, father and son, the Cotmans, father and sons, and of the fact that Norwich has always been associated with literature, from Sir Thomas Browne to George Borrow, from Mrs. Opie to Mrs. Mary E. Mann. At all the varied interests suggested by these names it is not possible even to glance in so brief a gossip about Norwich as this, but such a summary will at least indicate something of the range of interests which may be opened up by the sojourner in Norwich, which may well combine to make the inhabitants feel proud of the fact that they belong to no mean city.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Rare American Lithographs by Currier and Ives, and Other Contemporary Lithographers

Excerpt from Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society for 1890-91The great wave of prosperity which brought wealth to Canynges and his contemporaries seems to have waned with the fall of the Plantagenets. When Henry VII. Visited the town after his accession, the clothing trade was de pressed and shipowners complained Of heavy losses and consequent poverty. Already, however, the merchants were looking out, with a vague belief in the imminence of some great discovery, for new fields of enterprise. On the 15th July, 1480, according to William vyrcester, two Ships sailed down the Severn on their voyage to the island of Brasile, which they expected to find somewhere to the west of Ireland but which, as may be supposed, did not turn up. Faith in its existence, however, remained. Nearly 20 years later, a Spanish envoy, writing to his Court, stated that the people Of Bristol were sending out every year, under the direction Of a Genoese, two, three, or four ships in search of this Island of Brazil, as well as of certain Seven Cities, promising equally golden returns if they could only be hit upon. The Genoese referred to was John Cabot, who had lived some years in Bristol, where, it is believed, his son Sebastian was born. The Spaniard was not aware that the Cabots had just made the discovery of North America. In virtue of a. Royal patent permitting them to sail under the royal ag, the Cabots em barked in May, 1497, in a ship named the Matthew, which, like those spoken of by the Spanish envoy, was doubtless fitted out by Bristol adventurers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
