Plus One - Holiday House

There Is Real Danger in Using an Unqualified Engineering Expert
In a recent case, this expert was retained by an attorney who was representing a single divorced mom with a 14-year-old son. She called the arrotney because her townhouse had two walls that had become detached at the rear corner of her home and were in danger of falling off their foundation. The corner in question was at the rear wall of her unit, which was an extended side wall at the end of the row of townhouses.

'I Read a Book on It': What Does It Take To Be an Expert?
In one of my recent cases, in which I testified as an expert, a young lady tripped on the top step of a stair to the second floor in an office building. Her trip propelled her forward, causing her to hit her head on the wall directly in front of her, just about four feet from the top step. She broke her neck. After getting out of the hospital, she contacted an attorney, so as to attempt to recover lost wages and to seek some retribution.

Hope for This World
When the philosopher Immanuel Kant asked what were the main questions of philosophy, his answer was “What can we know?”, “What should we do?”, “What is a human being?”, and “What can we hope for?” This last question caused him difficulty. He was clear about what we should hope for in our lives as a whole, including the next life: we should hope that God will bring the union of virtue and happiness.
THE FOOL OF THE WORLD AND THE FLYING SHIP
Fabled equines party and play in a bright confection of a picture book. “Hooray! Hooray!

Perfecting desert photography
With guaranteed sunshine, bright blue skies and not a hint of air pollution, inland deserts provide some of the best and clearest natural light to be found anywhere on Earth, an ideal lure for photographers, says Keith Wilson Unlike Africa, Australia and Asia, Europe is not a continent readily associated with deserts, but from Spain to Croatia, there are a surprising number of these arid areas. A desert region is defined by its lack of rainfall, receiving fewer than ten inches (25cm) a year.

But the strength and timing of the monsoon is very difficult to predict.

Overcoming plenty of obstacles along the way, she investigated the migration of traditional herding communities to the ever-expanding capital city, Ulaanbaatar ‘We gained an intimate insight into nomadic herder’s lives; often interviewing herders while they disemboweled a freshly slaughtered sheep, or milked hundreds of yaks,’ says Anoushka Carter, describing her expedition to Mongolia in the summer of 2017.
THE HISTORY OF CENTRAL ASIA: The Age of Decline and Revival
In the 13th century, having overrun Europe, the heirs to Genghis Khan had also conquered eastern territory as far as the Korean peninsula. But by the 16th century it is clear that these erstwhile mighty nomadic clans had sunk to a point where they had disappeared from the consciousness of the outside world. This decline changes in the late 16th century, when Russia’s territorial ambitions expand. Trappers and hunters began a concentrated move eastwards into Siberia.
Just desert: why the Sahara is growing

Culture Shock: The war over heritage
The conflict in Syria has focused attention on the ‘war crime’ of inflicting damage to significant cultural property By any measure, the events of the past six years in Syria have been devastating.

Further to these tragedies has been the deliberate high profile destruction of the country’s ancient cultural heritage, such as Palmyra’s Temple of Bel.
PEOPLE POWER by Lyn Smith
Since the 18th century, a white feather has been a symbol of cowardice handed to men by patriotic groups in order to shame those who were not soldiers Degradation and brutality were meted out to those branded as cowards, yet by 1919 it was accepted that a man had the right to follow his conscience in time of war. In that year, the foundations of the Peace Movement were laid.

The long and winding road: 2016 Mongol Rally
For most, taking a 53-day, 11,000-mile road trip through 18 countries, eight time zones, five mountain ranges and a few deserts, may sound crazy, but that’s how Drew Gurian spent last summer, driving to Mongolia in the 2016 Mongol Rally The premise of the Mongol Rally is as follows: buy a small, rubbish car with an engine capacity under 1.2 litres. Raise at least £1,000 for charity. Then, drive from England to Mongolia.
Lost histories: why films are failing the past
Despite the many claims of authenticity, modern filmmaking is still struggling when it comes to depicting history NB – The views expressed below are the personal opinions of Dr Evans and are not intended to reflect the official position of the RGS-IBG. Over the years I’ve read enough columns from Reel History or An Historian Goes to the Movies to know the cardinal rule of critiquing an historical film – treat it as fiction.
GREAT DESERT EXPLORERS by Andrew Goudie
This well-organised and beautifully produced book highlights the careers of those who have been hopelessly seduced by the desert’s spell; romantics, explorers, adventurers, solitaries and escapees – all victims of desert seduction – many who ‘travel for lust of knowing what should not be known’ Neatly divided into areas of the world where vast deserts are found, the concise biographies of great explorers who were the first to venture on to the ‘desert’s dusty face’ are inserted into their...
Super stowaway: brown rats on the move
How a horde from Mongolia finally conquered the world Brown rats – those fuzzy blurs in the tunnels of New York, Hong Kong, London and everywhere in between – originally hail from Mongolia. Though they are one of the most widespread species in the world, second only to humans, they actually immigrated fairly recently. While black rats and house mice spread with agriculture over the course of millennia, it is only within the last few centuries that brown rats became globetrotters.
The reincarnation of Chernobyl

THE HISTORY OF CENTRAL ASIA: The Age of Islam and the Mongols by Christoph Baumer
For the layman, the history of Central Asia is complex. When I first visited the Buddhist cave grottos, dating from the 5th to the 14th century, at Bezekilk in Xinjiang province, China, I was struck by the destruction wreaked on them by those whose religion proscribes figurative images of sentient beings When and by whom had the vandalism of these exquisite and colourful portraits been done?
