Following the creation of the Duchy of Normandy; the Normans were soon introduced to the castle and they built them in large numbers. In the mid-11th century; other Norman adventurers began carving out dominions for themselves in Southern Italy: some crossed to Sicily in 1061 and by 1091 had conquered the whole island. As in Normandy; they were keen to assimilate new ideas; including architectural styles; resulting in some striking buildings. This title; a companion to Fortress 13: Norman Stone Castles (1) The British Isles 1066-1216; provides a detailed guide to the castles built in Normandy; Southern Italy and Sicily; covering defensive principles; daily life; the events of siege warfare; and the fate of the castles.

Hace aos leiacute; "El quinto diacute;a" de Frank Schatzing y uno de las muchos tramas era sobre queacute; pasaba si la corriente del golfo se deteniacute;a. Me quedeacute; con esa cosquilla de saber maacute;s sobre la corriente del golfo. Cuando vi este libro inmediatamente lo compreacute;.El libro se divide (o asiacute; yo lo divido) en tema teacute;cnico. tema histoacute;rico y tema animales de la corrente.Es interesantiacute;simo. el autor lo narra como viejo amigo de la corriente.Si te gustan los libros de difusioacute;n cientiacute;fica eacute;ste es una buena opcioacute;n.
