Download or read book The Boxers of North, Mid and West Wales written by Gareth Jones and published by St. David's Press. This book was released on 2021-10-28 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring over 50 boxers from North, Mid and West Wales, including first British boxer medal winner at the world amateur championships and the incredible youngster who was ranked in the world's top 10 by the American Ring magazine when he was just 16 years old, this is the seventh and final volume in Gareth Jones' acclaimed Boxers of Wales series. Casual observers of the Welsh boxing scene might well think that the best practitioners of the sport have all hailed from the valleys and coastal cities of the south. But the rural counties have contributed their share to the nation's fistic history. In the high-profile heavyweight division alone, the area covered by this book has produced two British champions and another who contested the title. Others have worn and challenged for Lonsdale Belts at lower weights. Packed with photographs - many published for the first time - The Boxers of North, Mid and West Wales features the finest fighters from the bare-knuckle era to stars of the present and future. It is a must-read for any fight fan, whether from Wales or further afield.

Book Synopsis Hunters, Fishers and Foragers in Wales by : Malcolm Little
Download or read book Hunters, Fishers and Foragers in Wales written by Malcolm Little and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2015-07-31 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malcolm Lillie presents a major new holistic appraisal of the evidence for the Mesolithic occupation of Wales. The story begins with a discourse on the Palaeolithic background. In order to set the entire Mesolithic period into its context, subsequent chapters follow a sequence from the palaeoenvironmental background, through a consideration of the use of stone tools, settlement patterning and evidence for subsistence strategies and the range of available resources. Less obvious aspects of hunter-forager and subsequent hunter-fisher-forager groups include the arenas of symbolism, ritual and spirituality that would have been embedded in everyday life. The author here endeavors to integrate an evaluation of these aspects of Mesolithic society in developing a social narrative of Mesolithic lifeways throughout the text in an effort to bring the past to life in a meaningful and considered way. The term ‘hunter-fisher-foragers’ implies a particular combination of subsistence activities, but whilst some groups may well have integrated this range of economic activities into their subsistence strategies, others may not have. The situation in coastal areas of Wales, in relation to subsistence, settlement and even spiritual matters would not necessarily be the same as in upland areas, even when the same groups moved between these zones in the landscape. The volume concludes with a discussion of the theoretical basis for the shift away from the exploitation of wild resources towards the integration of domesticates into subsistence strategies, i.e. the shift from food procurement to food production, and assesses the context of the changes that occurred as human groups re-orientated their socioeconomic, political and ritual beliefs in light of newly available resources, influences from the continent, and ultimately their social condition at the time of ‘transition’.
