Written by two of Historic Scotland's Principal Inspectors of Ancient Monuments, this guide tells the story of Shetland's history through its surviving monuments. The book tells of the islands' first settlement by neolithic farmers and the surviving neolithic landscape and buildings at Stanydale, the Iron Age houses and brochs at Jarlshof, the castles of Scottish incomers at Muness and Scalloway and the artillery defenses of Fort Charlotte, built to protect the anchorage of Bressay sound in the 1780s. The historical narrative is interspersed with guided tours of the monuments themselves.

This is the first of a series of three volumes which are intended to present a complete corpus of all the church buildings in use in the crusader kingdom of Jerusalem between the capture of Jerusalem by the First Crusade in 1099 and the loss of Acre in 1291. Volume II completes the general topographical coverage begun in Volume I, while Volume III will deal specifically with Jerusalem, Acre and Tyre. When complete the Corpus will contain a topographical listing of all the 400 or more church buildings of the Kingdom and individual descriptions and discussion of them in terms of their identification, building history and architecture. A feature of the Corpus is the standardized format in which the evidence is presented; this also extends to the plans and elevations which are drawn to a uniform style and scale. The Corpus will therefore be an indispensable work of reference for all those concerned with the history and architecture of the Latin east.

Religion & Spirituality

Cambridge University Press

This book contains a descriptive gazetteer of all the secular buildings (including industrial sites) known by their surviving remains to have existed within the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem. The site descriptions take the form of brief notes with full bibliographical references and location maps, accompanied in most cases by photographs and drawings. The gazetteer is preceded by an introduction that analyzes the range of building types to be found in the Crusader Kingdom, and is followed by a supplementary gazetteer listing other sites as "possibles", "rejects", or "don't knows".
