Ashington in 1896 in a fascinating series of reproductions of old Ordnance Survey plans in the Alan Godfrey Editions, ideal for anyone interested in the history of their neighbourhood or family. Selected towns in Great Britain & Ireland are covered by maps showing the extent of urban development in the last decades of the 19th & early 20th century. In this title: the map shows the mining village of Ashington, considered a model pit village when founded in the 1860s. Ashington Colliery is in the centre & below this are the neat rows of terraces, named ' First Row' up to ' Ninth Row'. These all faced south & had long gardens. South of these are St Sepulchre's church, Portland Arms Hotel, Miners Hall & Market Place (effectively a street). To the east is the NER line with Ashington station, & beyond this the map covers part of New Hirst.

Kate, a grieving, semi-alcoholic film student, invites an elderly woman to take part in an oral-history documentary. Jean declines, but makes her a bizarre counter-offer: if Kate can stay sober for four days, she will tell her a story. If she can stay sober beyond that, there will be another, & then another, amounting to the entire history of one family`s life. Gradually, Jean offers a heart-breaking account, not only of her own history
- a lost lover, a family scarred by war
- but of the American century itself; as a deep connection emerges between the women which will transform both of their lives.

India's lost emperor Ashoka Maurya has a special place in history. In his quest to govern India by moral force alone Ashoka turned Buddhism from a minor sect into a world religion & set up a new yardstick for government which had huge implications for Asia. But his brave experiment ended in tragedy & his name was cleansed from the record so effectively that he was forgotten for almost two thousand years. But a few mysterious stone monuments & inscriptions survived, & the story of how these keystones to the past were discovered by British Orientalists & their mysterious lettering deciphered is every bit as remarkable as their author himself. Bit by bit, fragments of the Ashokan story were found & in the process India's ancient history was itself recovered. In a wide-ranging, multi-layered journey of discovery that is as much about Britain's entanglement with India as it as about India's distant past, Charles Allen tells the story of the man who was arguably the greatest ruler India has ever known. ...

India`s lost emperor Ashoka Maurya has a special place in history. In his quest to govern India by moral force alone he turned Buddhism from a minor sect into a world religion, & set up a new yardstick for government. But Ashoka`s bold experiment ended in tragedy & he was forgotten for almost two thousand years. In this beautifully written, multi-layered journey Charles Allen describes how fragments of the Ashokan story were gradually discovered, pieced together by a variety of British Orientalists: antiquarians, archaeologists & epigraphists. In doing so, they did much to recover India`s ancient history itself. The Lost Emperor tells the story of the man who was arguably the greatest ruler India has ever known. ...
