Genealogists & local historians have probably seen every birth, marriage, death & census record available, & are adept at using the internet for research. However, once they have learnt everything they can from them, the next step is reading & understanding older documents. These can be hard to find (not many are online), are often written in challenging handwriting & use legal & other unfamiliar terms. Some will be in Latin, antiquated English or Scots. Readers need to be able to understand the nature & intent of a range of documents as well as the palaeography (the handwriting) & orthography (the `shape` of the contents). In Understanding Documents for Genealogy & Local History, Dr Bruce Durie, the celebrated author of Scottish Genealogy, details how to find & comprehend documents from 1560 to the 1860s
- wills, testaments, contracts, indentures & charters, land records (retours, sasines & manorial custumals), personal letters, official records, Church papers, trust dispositions, deeds & others. Also covered are the complexities of dates, numbers, calendars, measurements & money, abbreviations, transcription conventions, letter-forms & glossaries.A Latin primer completes the tool kit the genealogist & family historian will need to further their research.

The mysterious powers of mathematics & science & its application to art were a favorite study of the quintessential Renaissance man, Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519). His delicately shaded illustrations of polyhedrons appears in Luca Pacioli`s 1509 book De divina proportione. These shapes were thought to be related to the elements: the cube to Earth, tetrahedron to fire, octahedron to air, icosahedron to water, & dodecahedron to heavenly ether.

Dodger is a tosher
- a sewer scavenger living in the squalor of Dickensian London. Everyone who is nobody knows Dodger. Anyone
...

Dodgers is a dark, unforgettable coming-of-age journey that recalls the very best of Richard Price, Denis Johnson, & J.D. Salinger. When East, a low-level lookout for a Los Angeles drug organisation, loses his watch house in a police raid, his boss recruits him for a very different job: a road trip
- straight down the middle of white, rural America
- to assassinate a judge in Wisconsin. Having no choice, East & a crew of untested boys
- including his trigger-happy younger brother, Ty
- leave the only home they`ve ever known in a nondescript blue van, with a roll of cash, a map & a gun they shouldn`t have. Along the way, the country surprises East. The blood on his hands isn`t the blood he expects. & he reaches places where only he can decide which way to go
- or which person to become. By way of The Wire & in the spirit of Scott Smith`s A Simple Plan & Richard Price`s Clockers, Dodgers is itself something entirely original: a gripping literary crime novel with a compact cast whose intimate story opens up to become a reflection on the nature of belonging & reinvention.
