The World Cities by Peter Hall review
Peter Hall argues the world city phenomenon centers on seven metropolises and expanding polycentric regions. He links Dutch linear growth to Britain and Sydney planning, cites information as future urban driver, and urges readers to focus on how rather than why city life dominates.

Norse Greenlanders and the Vinland Mystery Explored
Review of LAND UNDER THE POLE STAR by Helge Ingstad and Jonathan Cape. The book argues for Norse Greenland colonisation from AD 985 to 1000, their settlements along western Greenland, trade with Norway, and possible links to Vinland. Ingstad challenges decline theories, citing archaeology, sagas, and Eskimo contacts, while outlining migration pressures and lasting questions about North American contact.

A Social History of English Law by Alan Harding
A review assigns Pelican's A Social History of English Law as a thorough, affordable survey of English legal institutions from 597 AD onward. It lauds Harding as a skilled medievalist, noting balanced pacing, broad scope, and attention to social links, doctrines, and reforms across centuries while warning the work skimps on doctrinal detail and may overemphasize society's influence on law.
