Having spent four years clearing a secret passage inside Palenque’s Temple of the Inscriptions, Mexican archaeologist Alberto Ruz gazed into a vaulted chamber. There, beneath a gigantic carved stone block, he would make a spectacular discovery: the intact burial of King Pakal, complete with jade jewelry and an exquisite burial mask.Pakal was one of the greatest ancient rulers and the most prominent among a long line of

The privately rented housing market has largely catered for young, mobile people and students since it was deregulated in the late 1980s. In this volume, the editors provide a timely insight into this rapidly evolving market, asking: What is the nature of this market? How should we interpret what is happening through the government’s and the EU’s attempts to regulate worst practice and create a ’fair’ commercial market and better management of the sector? Having liberalised the market, brought in new investment and generally improved the standard of housing is there now

Why do gardens look the way they do? David Stuart turns the conventional view of garden history upside down and argues that it is the plants themselves that driven the evolution of the modern garden. From the ends of the earth - the outer reaches of the Ottoman Empire, China, Japan, the Americas - daring explorers brought new plants back to gardens across Europe (encountering hair-raising adventures along the way). The influx of exotica caused a frenzy hybridization, which in turn inspired gardeners to make room to show off the latest fritillary, delphinium or rose. In this entertaining and in

For any gardener who is unsure of what to grow or how to put plants together in coherent planting schemes, this book provides answers. Many of the garden plans and plantings included are simplified versions of those created by great gardeners such as Vita Sackville-West, Margery Fish, and Piet Oudolf. The author’s extensive knowledge of period plants, and how they were put together to look beautiful, has enabled him to re-create historical classics, like the Renaissance parterre or the Monet water garden, from contemporary planting lists and plans. Each garden is given a brief historical
