Medieval England
By drawing equally on the work of historians and archaeologists, Colin Platt puts forward a view of English medieval society in which there is much that is new and unexpected. Medieval England brings together a wide range of themes, from castle and palace to peasant hovel, from the great cathedrals and monasteries to the parish churches and `alien' cells. The book is fully illustrated, the pictures being an integral part of the text.For this re-issue Professor Platt has written a new preface which updates the work with a survay of archaeological and historical developments in the last decade.

The Leader's Brain
Leadership is a set of abilities with which a lucky few are born. They're the natural relationship builders, master negotiators and persuaders, and agile and strategic thinkers. The good news for the rest of us is that those abilities can be developed. In The Leader's Brain, Wharton Neuroscience Initiative director Michael Platt explains how.
Marks of Opulence
The history of Western art, from the mosaics of the Byzantine Empire to the Renaissance courts of Florence to the revolutionary forms of early 20th-century modernism, is a story of economics as much as aesthetics. The interplay between patron and artist, between commerce and culture, is the engine that has driven paradigmatic change in the artistic world for centuries. In this study, Colin Platt reveals the fascinating economic and social context behind some of the West's most cherished works of art. --book cover.
