Synopsis

This interdisciplinary reference work presents a linked consideration, to the reader, of physical-cultural (physicocultural) representations of headstones located in urban churchyards in England and Scotland. The geomorphology of landscapes relevant to these locations is explained with the help of detailed case studies from Oxford and Edinburgh. The integrated physicocultural approach addresses the conservation of the archaeological record and presents a cross-temporal perspective of landscape change – of the headstones as landforms in their landscape (as part of deathscapes). The physical record (of headstones) is examined in the context of both cultural representation and change. In this way, an integrated approach is employed that connects the physical (natural) and cultural (social) records kept by historians and archeologists over the years.
 
Changing Landscapes in Urban British Churchyards is of interest to geomorphologists, historians and scholars interested in understanding landscaping studies and cultural nuance of specific historical urban sites in England and Scotland.

    Dive into the most comprehensive projection of Russia’s population and ethnic landscape by the year 2070. This meticulous analysis goes far beyond national totals, providing granular, region-by-region estimates for every Oblast, Okrug, and Autonomous Region. 
    Using a rigorous methodology that cross-references historic Census data, detailed Ethnologue sources, and current demographic trends, this report paints a striking portrait of the potential collapse and transformation of an old empire. Discover which regions face the most catastrophic population decline and how internal and external migration flows are set to reshape the ethnic map of the Russian Federation. 
    This is more than just a list of numbers. It’s a stark, data-driven look at the forces eroding Russian society. While based strictly on established demographic trends, the underlying context of this population crisis, including Russia's persistent Tier 3 ranking on the U.S. Department of State's human trafficking list—underscores the complex challenges threatening the nation’s stability. 
    Understand the future of Russia's people, one region at a time. The death of an empire starts with its population.

    Bold, queer and utterly thrilling, Hell's Heart is a speculative retelling of Herman Melville's classic, Moby Dick. From bestselling author of Boyfriend Material, Alexis Hall.They are monsters. They are legends.And they are our prey.Earth is dead. Which leaves us stuck living in atmospheric domes on planets that will kill us if we blink wrong, or run out of fuel. And by ‘fuel’ I mean cerebrospinal fluid, harvested at great risk from gargantuan space monsters.I joined the hunt hoping to get paid and maybe laid, but mostly paid. And I followed a charismatic captain eager to face these beasts and to howl her defiance across the skies of Jupiter. On her crew, I met Q, a woman from the wreck of old Earth, who might have kept me grounded. Or then again, perhaps not.We were ordered to hunt the greatest leviathan of all, and we fought beasts and ships and one another. Then we finally met our nemesis, there above the red heart of that world. Spoiler: it didn’t end well.‘Moby Dick meets Treasure Planet by way of Fleabag – an unbelievable accomplishment from a tremendous author’- Sarah Gailey, author of Spread Me and Just Like Home‘Hall’s best, weirdest, and most snarkily delightful book yet . . . intricate perfection’- Ruthanna Emrys, author of A Half-Built Garden‘Wow’- John Scalzi, author of Starter Villain
