Ancient Trees in the Landscape is an in-depth look at the history of the trees in Norfolk. It is largely - although not exclusively - about the larger, older specimens, and about those which have been managed in the past in "traditional" ways. Yet although it deals in detail with only one, relatively restricted, area of the country, the work presented here has a wider relevance. While each region of Britain has its own, distinctive arboricultural history, the approaches and methodology adopted in this book can be applied elsewhere and some of the general conclusions may well hold true for other areas, especially in the south and east of England. This is not, therefore, simply a book about old trees in Norfolk. It is about some of the ways in which we can study old trees. Now on Special Offer!

Vasa was the most modern warship imaginable in 1628. Her ability for fast and aggressive sailing, the multiple gun deck and the heavy, custom-made guns were innovations. She was meant to be a key asset for Sweden in a bid for power in Northern Europe. But the ship sank on her maiden voyage, a spectacular, costly and embarrassing fiasco. This book contains new information about the ship and the people who built and sailed it. And then there's the story of the discovery of the wreck and its challenging and exciting recovery. The dramatic story-telling is backed up by ground-breaking research, as Fred Hocker unfolds new facts that have now been brought to light. Photographs and historical reconstructions have been made especially for this book. Important themes are shown on double-page spreads and there is a fold-out guide to Vasa's rich ornamentation - a powerful symbolic reference to the glory of the Swedish king.. Now on Special Offer!
