Stanwick Camp, North Yorkshire

听

A new book which pulls together some thirty-years of archaeological exploration has just been published on a huge settlement which was, most likely, the home of Queen Cartimandua and her tribe the Brigantes. Stanwick Camp covers some 300 hectares and it鈥檚 thought it was built at around the time of the Roman invasion in AD43. The book is edited by Professor Colin Haselgrove at the University of Leicester and Making History鈥檚 Iszi Lawrence enlisted the help of one of Colin鈥檚 former students, Dr Julia Farley who works at the British Museum to explain the significance of Stanwick and the role of Cartimandua in the Roman conquest of Britain.

Tony Juniper, the former head of Friends of the Earth, has just written a book on the race to save what鈥檚 believed to be the world鈥檚 rarest bird: the Spix鈥檚 Macaw. Just one is known to be alive in Brazil's thorny caatinga woodlands. The bird is named after a nineteenth-century German biologist, Johann Baptist von Spix, who Tony would like to put on the Making History plinth.
