Prehistoric Ritual and Religion
by
Ritual monuments are among the most remarkable and enduring aspects of prehistory, and form the focus of constant study and reinterpretation. The authors apply the latest methods of research to selected prehistoric sites and monuments in Ireland, Scotland, England and Europe in order to suggest new ways of approving one of the most evocative subjects in archaeology. They concentrate on monumental remains (stone circles, passage graves, timber circles, palisaded sites and henge monuments) stone axes, jet artefacts ceramics and wooden idols. They also consider prehistoric astronomy, the Celtic ritual calendar and the Prehistoric Ritual and Religion will be illuminating reading for students of archaeology and prehistory and for all those who want to learn more about one of the most intriguing periods of our past.

Memory and the Mediterranean
by Fernand Braudel
A previously unpublished work by one of the greatest historians of the twentieth century: the story of the Mediterranean in ancient times, from its geological beginnings to the great civilizations that flourished along its shores. Written in the late 1960s—the decade during which Fernand Braudel was also atwork on his monumental Civilization and Capitalism —the manuscript was set aside on the death of the author’s longtime friend and editor, Albert Skira. The magnificent text begins with the history of the Mediterranean seabed itself—the layers of clay, sand, and limestone from which the Egyptians carved their ancient tombs and with which the megalithic temples in Malta were built. What follows is the epic story of how the Phoenicians, the Etruscans, the Greeks and Romans, and the great river civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt struggled and thrived in this demanding but gloriously beautiful world bordered and shaped by the Mediterranean. With its extraordinary depth and range of knowledge, Braudel’s superb history—expertly annotated to reflect recent archaeological discoveries—brings to life as never before the beginnings of Western culture.
