Oxbow Book News 74

We can announce with great pleasure that Oxbow is now the proud new owner of The Windgather Press, the leading publisher on everything to do with landscape archaeology. Windgather produce attractively designed books to a high academic standard, but always with one eye on the general reader, a tradition we will be continuing with new titles under the Windgather imprint. Recent highlights include the Landscape after Hoskins series which we include on page 5 of this Book News. The series, edited by Christopher Dyer, serves both as a tribute to the great W.G. Hoskins, and as a stimulating assessment of the current state of research into Britain’s landscape, spread across three books covering the Prehistoric and Roman, Medieval and Post-Medieval periods.

Many of you will, I’m sure, be familiar with Windgather’s spectacular back catalogue. It’s packed full of top quality stuff, and several of the titles are among those that can genuinely be said to have transformed the way that we think about history and archaeology, such as Markets in Early Medieval Europe, and Village, Hamlet and Field: Changing Medieval Settlements in Central England. If you haven’t yet got your hands on the latest Windgather catalogue, then make sure you drop us a line and we’ll get one out to you, or you can always request one via our website.

All this has not, of course entailed any let-up with our Oxbow imprint; this catalogue sees the usual range of new publications on archaeological subjects, including the long awaited second edition of Blood Red Roses, a fascinating investigation of a mass grave from the Battle of Towton. Add to this a plethora of great new books from publishers large and small, and a bargain section which is bursting at the seams (it took no small amount of shoe-horning to get them all in) and you have a Book News. I’m sure you’ll find something to tempt you, so happy browsing, and we’ll look forward to receiving your orders.
