The Emperor Domitian

Domitian, Emperor of Rome AD 81-96, has traditionally been portrayed as a tyrant, and his later years on the throne as a `reign of terror'. Brian Jones' biography of the emperor, the first ever in English, offers a more balanced interpretation of the life of Domitian, arguing that his foreign policy was realistic, his economic programme rigorously efficient and his supposed persecution of the early Christians non-existent. Central to an understanding of the emperor's policies, Brian Jones proposes, is his relationship with his court, rather than with the senate. Roamn historians will have to take account of this new biography which in part represents a rehabilitation of Domitian.

This respected work has now been updated to a fourth edition to take account of the many changes in legislation and practice that have taken place in the last few years. Following the death of Professor Jack Garner, one of the originators of the book, his co-author, Brian Jones, has been joined by leading experts Julian Palmer and Angela Sydenham in the preparation of this new edition. The aim of the book remains the same as its predecessors; it is to offer a lucid assessment, in terms appropriate for both the specialist and the more general reader, of how the laws of England and Wales seek to tackle the twin objectives of protecting the countryside and its wildlife from irreparable harm whilst, at the same time, acknowledging and accommodating the public's demand to use the countryside for recreation, leisure and other purposes.

This collection of short stories contains the essence of life: people. Real people with real experiences, some tragic and some fortunate. The individuals whose lives make up these tales are the people we encounter at home and when we travel. When tragedy strikes, it is the goodness in the people that brings them together and enables them to survive. We find these travelers trapped in the Yukon, basking in the Guatemalan sun, and soulseeking in the timeless town of Nevada City, California. Brian Jones' vivid descriptions of roadways and places you can visit today, allows the reader to vacation while never having to leave these pages.
