Deep in a wood in the Marches of Wales, in an ancient school bus there lives an old man called Bob Rowberry. A Hero for High Times is the story of how he ended up in this broken-down bus. It`s also the story of his times, & the ideas that shaped him. It`s a story of why you know your birth sign, why you have friends called Willow, why sex & drugs & rock`n`roll once mattered more than money, why dance music stopped the New-Age Travellers from travelling, & why you need to think twice before taking the brown acid. It`s the story of the hippies for those who weren`t there

It`s for Younger Readers who want to know how to build a bender, make poppy tea, & throw the I-Ching. And it`s a story of friendship between two men, one who did things, & one who thought about things, between theory & practice, between a hippie & a punk, between two gentlemen, no longer in the first flush of youth, who still believe in love.

A Hiistory Of Ancient
Egypt
£25.00
In this engaging & ambitious work, John Romer aims to refocus the gaze of the non-specialist away from the Pharaonic period (about which there are any number of popular histories) onto the Neolithic, & the growth of a centralised Egyptian state. He traces fifteen hundred years of development, from the emergence of farming communities along the route of the Nile to the creation of the sophisticated administrative, transport & supply systems which allowed the construction of the Great Pyramid.
