Sinopsis

Gothic Fortifications explores the often-underestimated defensive architecture of the Goths and its impact on resisting the Roman and Byzantine Empires. The book reveals how these mobile tribes utilized sophisticated engineering and adaptable strategies in their fortifications. These defenses weren't simply barriers, but integral parts of a strategic framework that allowed smaller forces to resist larger powers. The study of Gothic defensive structures is crucial for understanding the resilience of the Gothic peoples and their lasting influence on medieval defensive strategies.

The book argues that Gothic fortifications, often viewed as rudimentary, were actually a sophisticated response to military challenges. For instance, the Goths used temporary earthworks and fortified settlements effectively. Through archaeological evidence, historical accounts, and comparative analyses, the book supports this argument, drawing on Roman, Byzantine, and Gothic sources. Unique data from less-studied Eastern European sites offers fresh insights into Gothic engineering.

Structured in three parts, the book first establishes the historical context of Gothic migrations and their encounters with the Roman Empire. It then traces the evolution of Gothic fortifications through specific case studies. Finally, it examines the influence of Gothic techniques on subsequent defensive architecture in Europe, assessing how elements of Gothic design were adopted by other cultures. The book balances military history, archaeology, and architectural studies to present a clear and accessible narrative for scholars and enthusiasts alike.

My Music Man

Dede Montgomery

As Dede Montgomery moves through grief to accept the death of her father, the stories in My Music Man shed light on change, acceptance, and forgiveness amid close personal relationships and Oregon’s natural landscapes.The reader is catapulted into autumn on the Willamette’s riverbank in the 1960s with the author and her brothers, where they discover their father’s own childhood stories and the intimate relationship he shares with the land. Tales about seven generations of family weave between time periods, held together by the constancy of place and colored by memories of picking berries and filberts, traveling through the West Linn locks, and swimming in the river on a hot summer day. Montgomery describes small-town life in a school where everyone knows everybody, and how it felt to be an only girl in what often felt like a never-ending sea of boys. Chapters depict stories about place, seasons, gender, relationships and recovery. This book is to be savored. Yet it's much more than a memoir - it's a multi-generational story, lovingly told, of a family deeply tied to Oregon's history. Additional written information such as photographs, family tree and references may be found on the author's website at https://dedemontgomery.com (My Music Man: Audio Book Supplement).

The Sound of Many Waters - A...

Robin A. Crawford

With the widest catchment area of any river in Britain, the Tay drains much of the lower Highlands of Scotland. A vast network of lochs and smaller bodies of water feed the Isla, Garry, Tummel, Almond and Earn, which all flow into this mighty river.
As Robin Crawford walks along the banks of the Tay, we delve into the history of this landscape and his personal connection with it, from hill walks with friends into the mountains of the Tay's source to his student days in Dundee, where the Tay eventually spills out into the North Sea.
Along the route we dip into the river's story: the gold-panners on the river Cononish, the Earthquake House outside Comrie, Beatrix Potter's holiday home near Dunkeld. Throughout, the river is our constant companion, connecting the small moments on which events turn and lives are changed forever.
