"Ask anyone outside of Austin what they know about the city and chances are the first thing they'll mention is the music. While the Armadillo Era has been well-chronicled, there is no book about Austin music in the 90s. Greg Beets and Richard Whymark were part of the scene at that time, making zines, playing in bands, and DJ-ing at the college radio station, and have put together an oral history of the decade.

When were they first built and how long did they remain important? How were they used and did their roles change during the course of their history? The results of excavations at Broomend of Crichie in Aberdeenshire, Pullyhour in Caithness and Migdale and Lairg in Sutherland are brought together in a new account of the henge monuments of Northern Britain, which places a special emphasis on their distinctive character and their extended history.
The construction of the Asselby to Pannal natural gas pipeline has provided an important opportunity to investigate the early landscapes of North and West Yorkshire. A combination of non-intrusive and intrusive archaeological techniques has been employed, over a five-year period by Oxford Archaeology North and Network Archaeology Ltd, in order to explore the archaeology along the pipeline. The archaeological investigation included the large-scale excavation of 14 archaeological sites, and 136 evaluation trenches.
