The History Press Ltd Revealing the Buried Past: Geophysics for Archaeologists
Thanks to ever-more sophisticated technology archaeologists can identify much that is beneath the soil without having to excavate. From Pitt-Rivers banging the surface of the ground with a pick in the late nineteenth century, through Atkinson's revolutionary use of the 'Megger-Earth Tester', to modern-day radar survey, the value of geophysical techniques is lucidly explained with many real-life case studies.

Amberley Publishing Derelict Britain: Beauty in Decay
In this collection of remarkable images, photographer Simon Sugden has captured the beauty in buildings in their second life of decay and dereliction. These buildings have become abandoned, no longer in use for their original purpose, but the echoes of their former life, whether as human habitation or workplaces, can be seen as the buildings gradually decay. The buildings range from Yorkshire mills, farmhouses and fairgrounds to religious buildings, asylums and factories. Some of these buildings are returning to nature, others are little touched by the changes, but all have a new kind of beauty. Look through these photographs and you will quickly see the fascination of this unique portrayal of the afterlife of these abandoned buildings around Britain.
