The Roman Empire was one of the greatest of the ancient world, and expanding and maintaining that Empire required military might. While considerable research has been undertaken on Roman frontiers, fortresses and forts, Roman camps, the subject of this book, are one of the bridesmaids of the study of the fortifications of the Roman army. Although basic and only occupied for a short period, a number of camp sites have survived the ravages of time to tell us something of the movements and activities of the Roman army. They have now been recorded the length and breadth of the Roman Empire, but the area with the largest number of recognised camps is that of the island of Britain, with nearly 500 now known. Rebecca Jones commences this fascinating study with a general overview of the Roman conquest of Britain and an explanation of what Roman camps were used for and looked like. The focus then moves on to the archaeology of Roman camps in Britain, exploring how we know what we know and looking at the re-use and survival of these structures.Recent excavation and survey work is considered, as well as the distribution of camps and how our archaeological understanding can help interpret their chronology and context.
George Gillespie's first book, the anonymously published Dispute against the English Popish Ceremonies, propelled him to the forefront of the Second Reformation of the Scottish Kirk. He was then appointed to be an ecclesiastical commissioner to attend the Westminster Assembly of Divines in London. There he produced his most famous work, Aaron's Rod Blossoming, in order to refute the Erastians, who argued for church subordination to the civil government. Gillespie divides his treatise into three sections: (1) "Of the Jewish Church Government," (2) "Of the Christian Church Government," and (3) "Of Excommunication from the Church, and of Suspension from the Lord's Table." This new edition was created by comparing the texts of 1646 and 1844. The bibliography contains over six hundred entries, and all references have been traced. An exhaustive index is provided for all the Scripture references and authors cited, and the many Latin quotations have been translated in the notes. With the publication of this title, all of George Gillespie's works now will have appeared in new critical editions.

Nachdem Moebius Mitte der 70er Jahre im Magazin »Métal Hurlant« mit luftigen SF-Storys die Welt der Comics auf links gekrempelt hatte, legte er gemeinsam mit dem visionären Autor Jodorowsky mit »Der Incal« ein legendäres Meisterwerk vor. Die Geschichte des John Difool und seines Betonvogels Dipo, die in eine Verschwörung von galaktischen Dimensionen verwickelt werden, wurde praktisch aus dem Stand zum Klassiker. Aus dem Porfolio des Splitter Verlags sind Jodorowsky, Moebius und das »Incalverse« nicht wegzudenken ein überzeugender Grund, um das einflussreiche Meisterwerk zum 20-jährigen Verlagsjubiläum mit einer wunderschönen Gesamtausgabe zu ehren. 20 Jahre Splitter Verlag 20 Jahre Comics der Extraklasse: auf 1.000 Exemplare limitierte Sonderausgabe.
