Even in the twelfth century, Britain north of the Tweed was a patchwork of laws, languages and identities. Do the art and artefacts of the 9-12th century provide a different perspective on the formation of a feudal kingdom? This conversation event discusses the impact of ten years of the Glenmorangie Research Project at National Museums Scotland, and the unique perspective which comes from a focus on the material culture." </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16586#post-224209 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 09:09:36 +0000 paulmilne 224209@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This sounds like a fascinating book, going straight onto my Wish List:</p> <p>Bike Battles: A History of Sharing the American Road<br /> Interview with the author:<br /> <a href="https://entitleblog.org/2016/06/23/the-road-as-a-commons-an-interview-with-james-longhurst-author-of-bike-battles-2015/" rel="nofollow">https://entitleblog.org/2016/06/23/the-road-as-a-commons-an-interview-with-james-longhurst-author-of-bike-battles-2015/</a></p> <p>He's also posted a link of bicycle videos on YouTube I'll be interested to get stuck into:<br /> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRBF4oAgSxgVHSIK6yNNSyQ" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRBF4oAgSxgVHSIK6yNNSyQ</a> </p>
