A detailed topographic map of Edge Hill & Fenny Compton from the Ordnance Survey Explorer series, covering Badby, Kineton & Middle Tysoe. Edition A1; Publication date February 2006 About this series: These highly detailed maps show all the administrative boundaries, settlements as small as isolated farms, the road network down to unfenced roads & country tracks, & field boundaries (hedges & drystone walls) which make navigation across the countryside much easier.

Georgia is the most Western-looking state in today`s Near or Middle East &, despite having one of the longest, most turbulent histories in the Christian or Near Eastern world, no proper history of the country has been written for decades. Donald Rayfield redresses this balance in Edge of Empires, focusing not merely on the post-Soviet era, like many other books on Georgia, but on the whole of its history, accessing a mass of new material from the country`s recently opened archives. The book begins with the first intimations of the existence of Georgians in ancient Anatolia & ends with today`s volatile President Saakashvili. It deals not only with the country`s internal politics, but with its complex struggles with the empires which have tried to control, fragment or even exterminate the country. All the world`s history
- Xenophon`s Greeks, the Arabs, the invading Turks, the Crusades, Chingiz Khan & Timur Lang, the Persian empire, the Russian empire, Soviet totalitarianism
- is reflected in Georgia`s history. Donald Rayfield describes Georgia`s swings between disintegration & unity, making full use of primary sources, many not available before in an English-language book. He examines the history of a country which, though small, stands at a crossroads between Russia & the Muslim world, between Eastern Europe & Central Asia, & is a dramatic example of state-building &, also, of tragic political mistakes.

As the decisions made in the corridors of power bring the world to the brink of oblivion, five families from across the globe are brought together in an unforgettable tale of passion & conflict during the Cold War. When Rebecca Hoffmann, a teacher in East Germany, finds herself pursued by the secret police, she discovers that she has been living a lie. Her younger brother, Walli, longs to escape across the Berlin Wall to Britain to become part of the burgeoning music scene. In the United States, George Jakes, a bright young lawyer in the Kennedy administration, is a fierce supporter of the Civil Rights movement
- as is the woman he is in love with, Verena, who works for Martin Luther King, Jr. Boarding a Greyhound bus in Washington to protest against segregation, they begin a fateful journey together. Russian activist, Tania Dvorkin, narrowly evades capture for producing an illegal news sheet. Her actions are made all the more perilous as her brother, Dimka, is a rising star in the heart of the Communist Party in the Kremlin. From the deep south of America to the vast expanses of Siberia, from the shores of Cuba to the swinging streets of Sixties London, Edge of Eternity is a sweeping tale of the fight for individual freedom in a world gripped by the mightiest clash of superpowers anyone has ever known. *
