The study's aims, to investigate the long-term relationship between man and the environment and to reconstruct environmental conditions from the Holocene to the medieval period, are discussed ahead of methodological considerations and presentation of the results of a series of analyses. The latter include analyses of geomorphology, lithology, radiocarbon dating, isotope geochemistry, mineralogy, pollen and charcoal, wood, seeds and fruits, molluscan remains and vertebrate fossil remains. A summary model for palaeoenvironmental change from the Neolithic to the medieval period rounds off the volume and this will undoubtedly have important implications for our understanding of the palaeoenvironment in this and neighbouring regions. All reports in English.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49562787348753,"sku":"GOR012901498","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49733188616465,"sku":"NGR9780957471870","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50457563627793,"sku":"GOR010981934","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0957471874.jpg?v=1751171605"},{"product_id":"flight-to-dragon-isle-book-lucinda-hare-9780957471894","title":"Flight to Dragon Isle","description":"The chapters in this volume have their origins in papers presented at a Workshop held at Lund University in Sweden. The Workshop gathered together experts from Europe, the United States and Australia, including leading academics as well as representatives from the ICRC, the Swedish, Norwegian and Danish Red Cross Societies and the Swedish and Norwegian governments, to examine the relevance and adequacy of the existing regime for environmental protection during armed conflict as well as the ability of other international legal mechanisms to contribute to the amelioration of damage to the environment arising as a result of or in relation to armed conflict. The book, like the Workshop, takes as its starting point the existing IHL regime for the protection of the environment during armed conflict and goes on to explore the application of other legal regimes that may be relevant to protection of the environment both during armed conflict and, as in the broader context envisaged by the ILC, in relation to armed conflict. As this thought-provoking volume demonstrates, a vast range of issues, actors and legal regimes must now be considered and some pro-active and imaginative research and thinking brought to bear in any consideration of this ever-important topic. Some papers appeared previously in a special issue of the Nordic Journal of International Law.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49563687059729,"sku":"GOR012474839","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49732382425361,"sku":"NGR9780957471894","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0957471890.jpg?v=1751437597"},{"product_id":"dragon-whisperer-book-lucinda-hare-9780957471887","title":"The Dragon  Whisperer","description":"Amanda Craig The Sunday Times One of the most captivating new books to be published for 8+ for some time . . . It made me laugh, cry and remember exactly what's so special about the time when you or your child live in hope of finding a dragon of your ownShortlisted 2010 Royal Mail Awards for Scottish Children's Books Silver Medal Winner 2013 Moonbeam Children's Book Awards The Bookbag I thought this was an absolutely gorgeous little book. It's charming but exciting too, and while I think it will find its most loyal audience amongst tween girls there's also plenty to appeal to boys and older teens.Thoroughly enjoyable and beautifully written dragon fantasy with a good conflict between disparate protagonists. Plenty of appeal for a wide range of readers. Fantasy Book Review A Battledragon of a Book for all ages  Reading Lucinda Hare's debut novel The Dragon Whisperer is like riding a dragon. You have to hold on tight during the twist and turns, take time to stop and enjoy the breathtaking view, prepare yourself for the sudden lows, enjoy the soaring heights and make sure you're not on the wrong end of that fiery breath  A tale hatched from Hare's real-life experiences and devotion to all kinds of animals, The Dragon Whisperer follows Earl's daughter (and dragon whisperer), eleven year old Quenelda. Her best friend is a battle-dragon with the comically cautionary name of Two Gulps and You're Gone, who she can command through thought alone. Hare offers a headstrong heroine in Quenelda that chooses dragons over dresses, battles over boys and ultimately dreams of joining her father's side as a warrior in the Stealth Dragon Services.\u003cp\u003eDon't be fooled though... just because Hare has chosen a young girl as her protagonist doesn't mean she has written a book solely for that gender. Yes, the tale flies in the face of books such as Harry Potter and Artimis Fowl that have strong male protagonists, but The Dragon Whisperer contains enough dark magic, fierce battle dragons, and slimy hobgoblins to appeal to young boys.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegardless of gender, readers will root for the underdog (a young gnome named Root) and wish they had their very own dragon. On the surface, Hare describes the relationship been Quenelda and Two Gulps like that between horse and rider, but the dragons are given such a depth of history and behaviours, that after the book is shut, the reader half expects to see these beasts lurking in local paddocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe one letdown of Hare's work, is that, in marketing it towards children, adults might see it as 'just another children's book' and pass it over. The back cover boasts a '9+' age rating and I urge anyone nine or over to snap this read up. Verdict? A battle-dragon of a book  Available from Gardners Books\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49594208977169,"sku":"GOR012790030","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49732238999825,"sku":"NGR9780957471887","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50499666870545,"sku":"GOR013974575","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0957471882.jpg?v=1751441678"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/the-dragonsdome-chronicles-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
