Castles A global history of fortified structures Castles takes a uniquely architectural approach to deconstructing the work of the defensive architect, stonemason and engineer.

It uses stylish two-tone engravings, ‘anatomies’ that annotate classic structures and ‘riches to ruins’ features that offer unique comparisons between castles in their pomp in illuminated manuscripts and matching colour photographs of those same castles as they stand in ruins today.

Charles Stephenson is a published military historian, whose books include Germany’s Asia-Pacific Empire: Colonialism & Naval Policy 1885–1914 (2009).

New architectural approach to an ever-popular subject

How to Plant a Tree h ow to p l a n t a t r e e



trees hold a special place in our hearts, as symbols of nature’s strength and longevity. this symbolism lends the act of planting a tree a particular significance as the transformation from seed to sapling to fully grown tree draws parallels with our own lives.this beautifully illustrated book celebrates the simple act of planting a tree. it not only explains how to plant and care for a tree, but also explores the symbolism of trees alongside a miscellany of facts about the world’s favorite species. By examining global traditions and ancient rituals, it shows how a variety of suitable species can be used for commemorative tree-planting celebrations.
