Runes a unique functional writing system exclusive to northern & eastern Europe were used for some 1300 years in Scandinavia from about AD 200 till around the end of the fourteenth century when the runic alphabet finally gave way to the modern writing system. They were not written but carved
- in stone & on jewellery weapons utensils & wood. The content of the inscriptions is very varied from owner & carpenter attributions on artefacts to memorials to the deceased on erected stones; contrary to popular belief they are not necessarily magical or mystical & the post-it notes of today have their forerunners in such runic reminders as: ' Buy salt & don't forget gloves for Sigrid.' The typical medieval runic inscription varies from the deeply religious to the highly trivial (or perhaps crucial) such as 'I slept with Vigdis when I was in Stavanger'. This book presents an accessible account of the Norwegian examples throughout the period of their use. The runic inscriptions are discussed not only from a linguistic point of view but also as sources of information on Norwegian history & culture. Terje Spurkland is Associate Professor of Nordic Medieval Studies at the University of Oslo.

Norwich in 1950 was a different place. Still scarred by war the city was coming to terms with itself.

By the end of the decade the retail heart of the city would be reconstructed new building programmes would be changing domestic life & the manufacturing industries would be making world-class products with household names. Birthplace of Barclays Aviva Start-Rite & Colmans the city was ready to embark on another chapter in its long history of commercial & cultural development. From post-war austerity to the threshold of the consumer society Norwich embraced the 1950s as a decade of change. ...

Fergus Henderson caused something of a sensation when he opened his restaurant St John in London in 1995. Set in a former smokehouse near Smithfield meat market its striking high-ceilinged white interior provides a dramatic setting for food of dazzling boldness & simplicity. As signalled by the restaurant's logo of a pig (reproduced on the cover of Nose to Tail Eating) & appropriately given the location at St John the emphasis is firmly on meat. & not the noisettes fillets magrets & so forth of standard restaurant portion-control all piled up into little towers in the middle of the plate: Henderson serves up the inner organs of beasts & fowls in big exhilarating dishes that combine high sophistication with peasant roughness. Nose to Tail Eating is a collection of these recipes celebrating as the title implies the thrifty rural British tradition of making a delicious virtue of using every part of the animal. This new edition beautifully redesigned comes with an introduction by Anthony Bourdain. ...
