The Brus Family in England and Scotland, 1100-1295
Survey of the activities of one of the most important cross-Border families, the ancestors of Robert the Bruce. Robert de Brus, the "conquisitor of Cleveland, Hartness and Annandale", who came into England among the followers of Henry I, was also a close companion and mentor of David I, king of Scots. The lands he acquired from bothkings were divided between his sons, from whom two lines descended: the lords of Skelton, influential Northerners who played an active part during the baronial troubles in the reigns of John and Henry III, and the prominent cross-Border lords of Annandale, co-heirs of the substantial Chester and Huntingdon estates and progenitors of King Robert Bruce.

Communicating with the Spirits
Focuses on the problem of communication with the other world: the phenomenon of spirit possession and its changing historical interpretations, the imaginary schemes elaborated for giving accounts of the journeys to the other world, for communicating with the dead, and finally the historical archetypes of this kind of religious manifestation-trance prophecy, divination, and shamanism. Recognized historians and ethnologists analyze the relationship, coexistence and conflicts of popular belief systems, Judeo-Christian mythology and demonology in medieval and modern Europe. The essays address links between rites and beliefs, folklore and literature; the legacy of various pre-Christian mythologies; the syncretic forms of ancient, medieval and modern belief- and rite-systems; "pure" examples from religious-ethnological research outside Europe to elucidate European problems.

100 Top Chinese Restaurants of the World 2020 is into its second edition. I hope readers agree with the majority of my choices. As a Singaporean of Chinese descent, I proudly admit that the annual guide is a labour of love – and greed – for the great cuisines of China. My two favourite are Yue (my maternal family comes from Shunde) and Huaiyang (particularly the delicate cold dishes). My father came to Singapore as a child from Huai’an, Quanzhou, so I also love Min cuisine. And Lu, Chuan, Chaozhou, Kejia and many other branches of Chinese cuisine. I write about cuisine from a cultural, historical point of view. So, 100 does not contain recipes. But, you will discover that xiao long bao...
100 全球最佳中餐廳 2020（繁體）
《100全球最佳中餐廳》已進入第二版。我希望讀者同意我大部分的選擇。 作為華裔的新加坡人，我自豪地承認，這份年度指南是表達了我對中餐美食的熱愛和貪婪。 我的兩個最愛是粵菜（我的母親來自順德）和淮揚菜（尤其是那些精致的冷盤）。我的父親小時候從泉州來到新加坡，所以我也很喜歡閩菜。此外，魯、川、潮州、客家等許多中菜分支也非常優秀。 我從文化、歷史的角度談論美食。 因此，年刊不寫任何食譜。但是，在閱讀的途中，你會發現小籠包不是來自上海，而是來自開封；在北宋時期（960 – 1127年）這款菜...
