Textile artists have always used found objects both for decoration & to imbue their work with meaning & recently the practice has become even more popular. Cas Holmes is renowned for her use of the found & her many-layered atmospheric pieces have been shown around the world. The practice differs from recycling in that the objects often remain themselves when they are incorporated into the work rather than being transformed into something else & their original appearance being obliterated. The work is often conceived & built around the found object. The definition found object can include a wide range of objects from natural materials such as driftwood & leaves to old bits of machinery & vintage fabrics. Mundane objects such as CD cases can be used to create stunning pieces of art or more sentimental items such as old jewellery can lend deep meaning to a work.

Having written enthralling biographies of London & of its great river the Thames Peter Ackroyd now turns to England itself. This first volume of six takes us from the time that England was first settled more than 15 000 years ago to the death in 1509 of the first Tudor monarch Henry VII. In it Ackroyd takes us from Neolithic England which we can only see in the most tantalising glimpses -- a stirrup found in a grave some seeds at the bottom of a bowl -- to the long period of Roman rule; from the Dark Ages when England was invaded by a ceaseless tide of Angles Saxons & Jutes to the twin glories of medieval England -- its great churches & monasteries & its common law. With his extraordinary skill for evoking time & place he tells the familiar story of king succeeding king in rich prose with profound insight & some surprising details. The food we ate the clothes we wore the punishments we endured even the jokes we told are all found here too. ...
