The aim of this lavishly illustrated book is to provide an in-depth study of the many medieval peasant houses still standing in Midland villages; and of their historical context. In particular; the combination of tree-ring and radiocarbon dating; detailed architectural study and documentary research illuminates both their nature and their status. The results are brought together to provide a new and detailed view of the medieval peasant house; resolving the contradiction between the archaeological and architectural evidence; and illustrating how its social organisation developed in the period before we have extensive documentary evidence for the use of space within the house.Nat Alcock and Dan Miles work on Medieval Peasant Houses in Midland England has been nominated for the 2014 Current Archaeology Research Project of the Year.

You are hearing an employee tell a workplace story; yet Tony never did a day of "work"; it was always a "labor of love" fueled by his passion for the essence of Disney and "pushing the envelope". As with love; comes occasional pain and ectasy and he gets into that. To make those "magic" breakthroughs you have to first face forces that resist you and he was relentless. To that extent; hearing him tell the WED story from his unique perspective is something even his coworkers (like me) will enjoy as he relates the highs; the lows; the whos and the whys as only he can. Recommend; and if I know Tony; hell have more to say :-)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Not much new.By St. John SmytheRead this one in about three nights. Pretty short for a more pricey Disney biography vs. the typical Theme Park Press ones that are put out pretty frequently. As a long time Disney theme park history buff; not much new here. I was expecting more in depth stories about the creation of his projects and the ones that never came to be. I would recommend this book for those not that familiar with Mr. Baxters work; everyone else; I would honestly skip it. Ive already read all the same Big Thunder and Star Tours stories. I wanted more in depth info on his input on Disneyland Paris; which is very high level in this book. There are several pictures with his mentor I dont really remember reading much about.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
