The studies were commissioned by the Developer and Landlord/owner Doug Hill between 2005-2007. They were request ed as a pre-condition for planning by Somerset CountyCouncil as it was considered imperative to document the history of the site, the development of which offered a unique opportunity prior to the commencement of the building works. This is a Grade 2 listed building positioned in the centre of a conservation area in the heart of Glastonbury (adjacent to the Tri - bunal, a Grade 1 Listed building) and as such is considered to be of great importance. The land at 11 High Street was stripped, mapped and the artefacts logged. The broad spectrum of finds were subsequently donated to the Somerset Museum, Taunton.

Short stories that bridge the border between science fiction and plain old thrillers.
A celebrated biologist's manifesto addressing a soil loss crisis accelerated by poor conservation practices and climate change "Jo Handelsman is a national treasure, and her clarion call warning of a looming soil-loss catastrophe must be heard. Add her clearly written alarm to other future-shocks: climate change, pandemics, and mass extinctions."--Laurie Garrett, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World out of Balance "The ground beneath our feet is slipping away as we lose the precious soil that sustains us. Jo Handelsman's writing--as rich and life supporting as the soil itself--is a riveting warning."--Alan Alda, actor, writer, and host of the podcast Clear+Vivid with Alan Alda This book by celebrated biologist Jo Handelsman lays bare the complex connections among climate change, soil erosion, food and water security, and drug discovery. Humans depend on soil for 95 percent of global food production, yet let it erode at unsustainable rates. In the United States, China, and India, vast tracts of farmland will be barren of topsoil within this century. The combination of intensifying erosion caused by climate change and the increasing food needs of a growing world population is creating a desperate need for solutions to this crisis. Writing for a nonspecialist audience, Jo Handelsman celebrates the capacities of soil and explores the soil-related challenges of the near future. She begins by telling soil's origin story, explains how it erodes and the subsequent repercussions worldwide, and offers solutions. She considers lessons learned from indigenous people who have sustainably farmed the same land for thousands of years, practices developed for large-scale agriculture, and proposals using technology and policy initiatives.

The Book references the transformation of an unwanted old ruined double fronted shop in the heart of Glastonbury England which was renovated ,converted and extended to form a double winning spectacular shopping Arcade. The project took over 4 years to complete and entailed my love of history and architecture which were at the core of the project.

“Foster is in top form here, entertainingly mixing politics, comedy, and intriguing alien anthropology.”—Booklist Abducted by aliens to be sold as pets in a more civilized part of the galaxy, earthlings Marcus Walker and a scruffy dog named George (speech-enhanced to increase his market value) have managed to escape their captors. Walker loves being humankind’s first galactic traveler—until he remembers he hasn’t a clue where home is or how to get there. So the erstwhile commodities broker becomes a chef, whipping up delicacies for demanding alien palates. Of course he never imagined that the way back to Chicago would involve swapping his easy-living adopted planet for an all-out, age-old war many parsecs away. But hey, it’s all for a good cause, he has George and their two fellow escapees for company, and what else is there to do, besides avoid nasty aliens? Plenty, as it turns out. “An enjoyable read . . . Foster’s writing is smooth and his characters engaging.”—SFReader “Sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, and always entertaining.”—Library Journal
