For Ibn Batuttah of Tangier, being medieval didn`t mean sitting at home waiting for renaissances, enlightenments & easy Jet. It meant travelling the known world to its limits. Seven centuries on, Tim Mackintosh-Smith`s passionate pursuit of the fourteenth-century traveller takes him to landfalls in remote tropical islands, torrid Indian Ocean ports & dusty towns on the shores of the Saharan s&-sea. His zigzag itinerary across time & space leads from Zanzibar to the Alhambra (via the Maldives, Sri Lanka, China, Mauritania & Guinea) & to a climactic conclusion to his quest for the man he calls `IB`
- a man who out-travelled Marco Polo by a factor of three, who spent his days with saints & sultans & his nights with an intercontinental string of slave-concubines. Tim`s journey is a search for survivals from IB`s world
- material, human, spiritual, edible
- however, when your fellow traveller has a 700-year head start, familiar notions don`t always work.

This illustrated book celebrates the Landmark Trust`s achievement in the protection of British heritage since the Trust was established 50 years ago. From a medieval hall house to the winner of the 2013 Stirling Prize for Architecture, 50 buildings rescued by Landmark from threatened oblivion are presented here that vividly illustrate the history of Britain from 1250 to the present day. Presented in the order in which they were built, the selected buildings include the unusual, the fantastic, the spectacular, the utilitarian & the enchanting, each one offering a fascinating glimpse into the past of the British people. In telling the stories of how the buildings came to be, how they were used & how they were adapted by subsequent generations, this book brings history to life through the evidence in the buildings our ancestors have left behind. Examples include a 15th-century inn in Suffolk, an Elizabethan hospital in Yorkshire, a lighthouse on Lundy & an Italianate railway station. The Landmark Trust`s often heroic rescue of each of these buildings is also placed in the context of the Trust`s own evolution to date & the history of British conservation practice. For everyone interested in British history or architecture, this enthralling book will bring fresh insights into both; for everyone interested in buildings conservation, the book will provide an insight into the unique national treasure that is the Landmark Trust. ...
