Paperback. Condition: New. Off the Beaten Track presents new work by twelve writers taking part in a unique collaborative project: each of them was invited to compose one haiku per day for a month, thus contributing towards the total of 365 haiku for a full calendar year. Half of the authors are widely published writers of haiku, while the other half are almost (or entirely) new to the form. This situates the collection within the tradition of English-language haiku, while also seeking to extend its boundaries through the inclusion of 'outsiders' with respect to that tradition. Complementing the haiku are original illustrations by twelve artists, making the volume as visually striking as it is thought-provoking and diverse.

Paperback. Condition: New. Before the 1980s, people wishing to recreate or reconstruct a historic garden, 'back to its former glory,' relied almost solely on documentary sources, paintings and literary references. For the last twenty years it has been recognised that these are not terribly reliable sources and people have turned to archaeological evidence to provide a more accurate picture of what went on beneath the soil. This handbook relates the historical background to the sub-discipline of Garden Archaeology before discussing the excavation techniques used to recover and record evidence of past garden designs and plants. Survey techniques, historical buildings analysis, geophysics, air photography and environmental sampling are some of the main procedures carried out, all of which are described here. This reappraisal of current practice and techniques is well written and clearly presented and includes a series of case studies of formal, informal, water, town and unusual gardens from across the UK.
