The Larks
The Larks paints a sharply detailed in-the-cockpit picture of war's demands on an ordinary lad from north Birmingham. Painstakingly researched, this remarkable novel brings three-dimensional detail to the lives of everyday people set in barely imaginative circumstance - the First World War.

Larks' Eggs
Desmond Hogan is an exciting literary talent to have come out of Ireland in the past half-century. This book reaffirms his stature, displaying anew a compressed lyricism, ferocity and sheer prismatic brilliance in these stories. His compelling tales of diaspora and exile, of subsumed identity and allurement, merge landscape with mindscape.

William Faden and Norfolk's Eighteenth Century Landscape
William Faden's map of Norfolk, published in 1797, was one of a large number of surveys of English counties produced in the second half of the eighteenth century. This book, with accompanying DVD, presents a new digital version of the map, and explains how this can be interrogated to produce a wealth of new historical information. It discusses the making of the Norfolk map, and Faden's own career, within the wider context of the eighteenth-century "cartographic revolution". It explores what the map, and others like it, can tell us about contemporary social and economic geography. But it also shows how, carefully examined, the map can also inform us about the development of the Norfolk landscape in much more remote periods of time. The book includes a digital version of the map, on DVD. Andrew Macnair is Research Fellow at the School of History in the University of East Anglia; Tom Williamson is Professor of History and Head of the Landscape Group at the University of East Anglia.
