The resonant ruins of Pompeii are perhaps the most direct route back to the living, breathing world of the ancient Romans. Two million visitors annually now walk the paved streets which re-emerged, miraculously preserved, from their layers of volcanic ash. Yet for all the fame & unique importance of the site, there is a surprising lack of a handy archaeological guide in English to reveal & explain its public spaces & private residences. This compact & user-friendly handbook, written by an expert in the field, helpfully fills that gap. Illustrated throughout with maps, plans, diagrams & other images, Pompeii: An Archaeological Guide offers a general introduction to the doomed city followed by an authoritative summary & survey of the buildings, artefacts & paintings themselves. The result is an unrivalled picture, derived from an intimate knowledge of Roman archaeology around the Bay of Naples, of the forum, temples, brothels, bath-houses, bakeries, gymnasia, amphitheatre, necropolis & other site buildings
- including perennial favourites like the House of the Faun, named after its celebrated dancing satyr.

This startling new book concentrates on the twenty years between 59 & 79AD, thus beginning with the earthquake which all but destroyed Pompeii & ending with the volcanic eruption which has become part of our collective popular imagination. Alex Butterworth & Ray Laurence have synthesised the latest research into Pompeii to bring this period of flux & instability back to life. By concentrating on key members from each strata of Pompeiian society we are plunged into the everyday life of a city rebuilding itself, in the knowledge that it will all be for nothing when Vesuvius erupts. So we follow Suedius Clemens who has been sent by Vespasian to settle disputes over land; Decimus Satrius Lucretius Valens who is set to join Pompeii`s elite magistrates following the death of his protector; the Vettii brothers who were fabulously rich & ostentacious dealers in wine & perfume; Pherusa, the runaway slave; lusty young Rustus who is contemplating parricide... ...

Here's the paradox: your body becomes steadily more troublesome just at that point when the world, which you are soon to leave, becomes sweeter, more poignant, more beautiful, more desirable... The ponds of Hampstead Heath are small oases; fragments of wild nature nestled in the heart of north-west London. For the best part of his life Al Alvarez
- poet, critic, novelist, rock-climber & poker player
- has swum in them almost daily. An athlete in his youth, Alvarez, now in his eighties, chronicles what it is to grow old with humour & fierce honesty
- from his relentlessly nagging ankle which makes daily life a struggle, to infuriating bureaucratic battles with the council to keep his disabled person's Blue Badge, the devastating effects of a stroke, & the salvation he finds in the three Ss
- Swimming, Sex & Sleep. As Alvarez swims in the ponds he considers how it feels when you begin to miss that person you used to be
- to miss yourself. Swimming is his own private form of protest against the onslaught of time; proof to others, & himself, that he's not yet beaten. By turns funny, poetic & indignant, Pondlife is a meditation on love, the importance of life's small pleasures &, above all, a lesson in not going gently in to that good night.
