Carmarthen Castle was one of the largest castles in medieval Wales. It was also one of the most important; in its role as a centre of government and as a Crown possession in a region dominated by Welsh lands and Marcher lordships. Largely demolished during the seventeenth century; it was subsequently redeveloped; first as a prison and later as the local authority headquarters. Yet the surviving remains; and their situation; are still impressive. The situation changed with a major programme of archaeological and research work; from 1993 to 2006; which is described in this book. The history of the castle; its impact on the region and on Wales as a whole are also examined: we see the officials and other occupants of the castle; their activities and how they interacted with their environment. Excavations at the castle; and the artefacts recovered; are described along with its remaining archaeological potential. This book puts Carmarthen Castle back at the heart of the history of medieval Wales; and in its proper place in castle studies and architectural history; the whole study combining to make a major contribution to the history of one of Wales’s great towns.

Good Manual for old camerasBy Mark F.More cliff notes for most items than detailed instructions but if you go through the few through examples then apply it to the notes for your camera it is good. New version is probably well worth it. I plan to pick it up as well.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy gillianlove it4 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Tells you that you have a long way to go to do camera repairBy Manuel A. HernaezThe book offers a guide to what you will face in undertaking camera maintenance and repair work. It does not offer detailed procedures for the repair problems of specific camera design. You will be on your own which is only good if you have the making of a good camera repair person.In my opinion the book will not be helpful for the majority of readers who have dreams of doing serious camera repair work.
