Описание: From the author of 'Britain BC', 'Britain AD' and 'Britain in the Middle Ages' comes the fourth and final part in a critically acclaimed series on Britain's hidden past It might be thought that in the modern world, where documentary evidence abounds, there is no place for archaeology. But nothing could be further from the truth. Documentary records alone are not sufficient to provide a balanced view of Britain's recent history.

This is hardly surprising in the agricultural and industrial 'revolutions', when pioneers were too busy inventing to record what was happening around them. But the same could apply in much later times. In the Second World War the imminent threat of invasion and the sheer pressure of events made the keeping of records less important than the building of physical defences, such as concrete anti-tank cubes and pill-boxes.

As a result, archaeological evidence still provides the most reliable guide to the extent of Britain's anti-invasion defences in the autumn of 1940. Covering the whole of the post-medieval period, from 1550 to the present day, Francis Pryor brings his customary wit and erudition to the study of modern historical archaeology, probably the fastest-growing branch of the subject. Ranging over topics as diverse as the birth of modern agriculture, the growth of towns and cities, and the development of roads, canals and railways, he brings to a gripping conclusion his illuminating journey into Britain's archaeological past.

Описание:

Featured in the film Twenty Feet From Stardom, the woman whose voice the New York Times said is as embedded in the history of rock n roll as Eric Claptons guitar and Bob Dylans lyrics tells her story

Right out of high school, Darlene Love began singing lead vocals for legendary producer Phil Spector, cutting such classic hits as the number one Hes a Rebel, Da Doo Ron Ron, and Hes Sure the Boy I Love. As part of the girl group the Blossoms, she held a regular spot on televisions Shindig!, and with Bob B. Soxx the Blue Jeans she toured the country.

Later, she sang backupand collected numerous scintillating backstage storieswith, among others, Dionne Warwick, the Mamas and the Papas, and Sonny and Cher.

Now in My Name Is Love, Darlene is ready to tell her tales about Elvis coming on to her backstage during his famous 68 Comeback Special, about wild parties she witnessed at Tom Joness house, and about her love affair with Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers. She also recalls how she found herself cleaning houses in Beverly Hills, heard herself on the radio, and vowed to make a comeback. That comeback has included roles in all of the Lethal Weapon movies, starring roles on Broadway, and headlining concert appearances worldwide.

A dishy, behind-the-scenes showbiz memoir, My Name Is Love is also the inspiring story of a woman who refused to give up.
