Life in Ancient Britain journeys through the ancient worlds of our ancestors: how they lived, how they shaped the landscape we know today, and how we know what we do, about their achievements. This guide offers a concise and lively introduction to the prehistory of the British Isles covering the period from around 500,000 years ago when Palaeolithic hunters camped at Boxgrove in West Sussex, through the later Middle and New Stone Ages, and on to the Bronze Age and the start of the Iron Age. It describes how people first came to settle in Britain, and explores the rich mysteries of atmospheric ceremonial meeting places, barrows and stone circles. Also featured is the coming of the age of metals, when warrior-farmers created hilltop forts and settlements, stone brochs and lakeside villages indeed the Celtic Britain that the Romans found, when they first landed on our shores.

When the Romans came to Britain in AD 43, they brought a new style of domestic life, one that better-off Britons soon copied. This informative guide looks at how villas were built, and at the accommodation and daily life villa residents enjoyed - their living rooms and bedrooms, kitchens and baths, gardens and courtyards, furniture and food, and the servants and slaves who kept the villa running. Illustrated with site photos from Roman villas around Britain, archaeological treasures, and museum reconstructions of villa interiors, this is a fascinating look at life in Roman Britain before the Roman army left in AD 406 and the villa way of life faded into history. Includes a list of places to visit.

Tras su aparición en el tradicional formato de papel durante el verano de 2014, esta publicación de la versión digital (que se ha dividido en dos partes para hacerla más cómoda al lector) puede parecer tardia e innecesaria, pero en modo alguno lo es. Su caracter de novela profetica hace oportuno revisar acontecimientos que en su dia se predijeron, y en los que muchos creyeron ver excesos de una mente calenturienta con demasiada imaginacion. Revisar los acontecimientos de Francia, de Oriente Medio, de Cataluña, incluso de Estados Unidos, y el sangriento crecimiento del radicalismo islamico, mantienen la actualidad de esta historia, en una sociedad (la española) que desde entonces no ha avanzado hacia la estabilizacion, sino hacia la creciente amenaza de una explosion en fragmentos ideologicos, geograficos, religiosos y culturales, dominados por el materialismo, la rapiña y la mediocridad. La extensa y variada galeria de personajes que aparecen en el relato son personas normales de nuestra sociedad de hoy, que trabajan, aman, sueñan y luchan por la felicidad de una vida pacifica. Pero todos se ven atrapados en el devenir de estos acontecimientos, cuyos hilos estan expuestos siempre a las maniobras de ambiciosos, fanaticos y desalmados. Esto hace mas inquietante, tras revisar lo que ya ha sucedido, preguntarse que va a suceder con el resto. ¿Aun nos queda por sufrir lo que no ha sucedido, la peor parte de la historia? No, no es inoportuno ni trasnochado releer La Barca del Portugues.
