I'd certainly recommend it 4 history teachers who have 2 think of history in the round (historical culture, the presence of the past in contemporary life, & so on). It's entire A-Zs (& not just streets) ahead of Carr's What is History & other 'tomes' that R often thought 2 help us think history.

I guess that's a question 4 the author & publisher. I'm pleased there's 1 - has fully updated scholarship (there's so much brilliant theory of history out there just now) & it's contemporary examples resonate. He's changed his mind on relations 2 the past also (some are recessive in this edition).

Chippendale's Stonehenge Complete (2004) is great on this. I've a short piece on pedagogic uses of the history of Stonehenge interpretation here from 2007 - www.history.org.uk/publications... 2/2

Love how the history of Stonehenge (principally the appreciation that it was part of a wider 'sacred landscape') was revolutionized in the 20th century through the unintended effects of technology developed for war (aerial reconnaissance photography, radio carbon dating). 1/2

The image shows the Thornborough Henges, a prehistoric monument complex located in North Yorkshire.  Often called the "Stonehenge of the North," it consists of three giant circular earthworks, each over 200 metres in diameter. The structures date from the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age, approximately 3500 to 2500 BC. They were part of a "ritual landscape" linked by walkways and likely used for ceremonies. The site is now managed by English Heritage and is open to the public. Image: Natural England  CC BY-NC-ND 2.0

Coming very late to this important 2021 book from the great @anthonybarnett.bsky.social. Despite the subsequent failures of the Biden administration, it’s so valuable to be reminded of the key lessons of 2020/21: a better world is demonstraBly possible.

Remember first encountering (or at least first looking up) the word 'rictus' in the context of Blair. The word really should have been invented for him. 'Rictus Tony...' 'Swiss Tony...' Those were the days...
