111 Places in Birmingham That You Shouldn't Miss
Get inside the mind of Birmingham and its industrial, creative and international legacies through the exploration of places, spaces, people and buildings that many visitors and residents may miss. Welcome to Birmingham, a super-diverse city with an ever-shifting identity. This is the quiet medieval market town that overnight became the center of the industrial revolution, over the centuries rolling out leather wares, jewelry, steam engines, motor cars, fountain pens, gun smithery, toys, chocolate, heavy metal music and nanotechnology. The city's drive to successively reinvent itself as motor city, conference capital and shopping destination reflects that initial burst of energy. The result is a city of many layers, bold planning experiments, overlapping fragments and pockets of creative endeavor which can be tough to navigate without a guide. However, its many treasures coruscate more brilliantly for being lost. This book tells the story many would miss through the art, places, buildings, people and the dynamic mix of cultures that reveal the Birmingham identity, from the smallest architectural details to epic civic structures. Only here can you chill on a bench with local heroes Black Sabbath, will you be greeted at the museum by the fallen angel Lucifer, chance upon a golden Burmese peace pagoda, time travel in the Shakespeare Library and find the world's oldest surviving instance of railway architecture.
Quest for Lancelot’s Arthur
King Arthur-historical person or fictional myth? Don't decide until you read Quest for Lancelot's Arthur.Whilst researching his novel, Lancelot's Grail, author Richard Gartee traveled to the UK to experience for himself the land of his characters. Since Sir Lancelot had an inextricable connection to King Arthur, it seemed logical to start with historic ruins associated with Arthur.With camera and journal in hand, the author set out to visit every site in southwest Britain where King Arthur might have set foot (and a few extra places to boot). Stops ranged from Arthur's birthplace to the Iron Age hill-fort believed to have been Camelot. He also took side trips to Stonehenge and other Neolithic sites, and experienced a mystical waterfall.The journey resulted in two novels and this fascinating travel memoir recalling the many interesting people and far-fetched theories he encountered there. Illustrated with over 90 pages of color photos, the book provides examples of how the author worked details from the trip into his novels, and also discusses whether King Arthur was a myth or a historical leader whose feats became exaggerated over millennia.
