This book looks at some key finds of British history, all with a unique story to tell. They include spectacular new discoveries such as the Amesbury Archer and the Winchester gold jewellery, and older finds such as the Mildenhall treasure and coin hoards of the English Civil Wars. It also discusses the small, seemingly insignificant objects from the past - jewellery, clothing accessories and toys, for example - which can tell us just as much about the daily lives of our ancestors as the more glamorous discoveries. Throughout the book, the vital role played by members of the public, from farmers to amateur metal detectorists, in shaping our knowledge of the past is also emphasised. They have found treasure in variety of ways - by chance, in the course of working the land, or sometimes even as a result of dreams and visions. They range from responsible finders, such as the man who found the earliest stone axe ever recovered from mainland Britain, to those who have sought to exploit our precious past for their own gain, such as the 'nighthawks' who raided the Wanborough Roman temple. Illustrated with over 100 images of some of the most spectacular objects and their finders, Treasure is a fascinating insight into the ongoing process of discovering our past.

BRITISH MUSEUM

The British Museum's new introductory guide to Roman Britain combines an informative text with first-class design and is illustrated with plentiful artefacts from the museum's collections. Throughout the book the emphasis is on cultural interaction and change, showing the impact of the Roman presence, but also British survivals; the book starts, perhaps unusually for general guides of this kind, with a section on pre-Roman Britain, and ends with a chapter on Britons after Rome. In between we learn about the military, the new literate culture introduced by Rome, about the impact of Rome on the rural economy, and on life in the new towns, as well as about religion. Constant reference to archaeological finds and sites gives a sense of place, and also of regional variation.

Jackson, Ralph

In 1942, while ploughing a field near Mildenhall in Suffolk, eastern England, Gordon Butcher stumbled upon a hoard of 34 silver objects that he turned over to his boss and owner of the land, Sydney Ford. Dating back to Roman Britain, fourth century AD, and of outstanding artistic and technical quality, the hoard was declared a Treasure Trove in 1946.

What are the threats to the USA in this World War IV? What is this Islamofascism and what is the Third Jihad? Why do some Muslims hate us so much? Does this come from the Qu'ran and is this also a civil war within Islam? After 9/11, we smashed the Taliban in Afghanistan but then we grabbed a tar baby in Iraq. What was the role of the neoconservatives? What about Israel and its powerful lobby in Washington, and where does oil fit in this equation? Of course, there are the WMDs and the "Axis of Evil." Iran and North Korea are on our plates. But there are other problems - terrorist attacks in Europe and the prediction that Europe will go Muslim in coming decades. Al Qaeda is searching for a new base in Africa. Top that off with overpopulation in the world, the problems of illegal immigration in the US, the leftist surge in Latin America and there are many threats to the US as we charge into the 21st Century. Lurking always on the horizon is the specter of capitalistic Communist China.

World War IV: China's Quest for Power in the 21st Century

Islam - is it a religion or an ideology with a façade of religion – or is it a cult? Islamism, jihad, Muslims, the Qur’an, Salafis, Sharia, abrogation, apostasy, dhimmitude, taqiyya. Muhammad – his life an epic tale – to Muslims, the world’s perfect man - probably the most brilliant illiterate in history - some 1.5 billion people idolize him. The Muslim Brotherhood and the myriad of Muslim organizations operating around the world including here in the US. Islam swept out of the desert and conquered from the Atlantic to Indonesia with almost irreversible success and ended local religions. The Middle East is in turmoil Our elected officials, local, state, and federal, have bankrupted our country with debt that can never be paid? Why is China buying up gold in addition to oil, farmland, and minerals all around the world? If China, now the world’s second largest economy, consumes the way Americans did, it would absorb so much oil, food, minerals, and water in a few years that there would be little left for the other 5 billion of us! The populations of the industrialized countries are declining (except the USA, only because of expanding Hispanic population, many of whom are illegal immigrants) while those of the Third World are still rapidly growing with increasing pressure on food and water. A new world order is still evolving and it will not likely be to our liking. Read about these and other threats facing America in this hard hitting book from ColDoc Publishing by Richard Hobbs that provides a background for all concerned citizens to better understand the world situation.
