There has been a great renewal of interest in Celtic history, religion, art, design
and legend recently both on television and in journal articles. A notable aspect
of the Celtic tradition has been the continuity and close similarity of the symbolic
expressions used in the Celtic cultures whether in Scotland, Ireland and Wales or
other Celtic regions (Isle of man, Cornwall, Brittany). These Celtic symbols have
influenced the ornamental design of jewellery, architectural decoration (such as
mosaics),
and artistic expression in Celtic inspired paintings.
Clare Bonner, from her background
in art, design and strong archeological interest in Celtic artefacts, and skillfully
using the many mythological, religious and historical threads describing the origin
and evolution of Celtic symbols and their more recent effect on artistic expression
and design, has woven an authoritative tapestry of the development of Celtic symbolism
which provides a fascinating story of the Celtic Symbols.
Christopher Lindsey has written a number of biographical accounts of British scientists,
engineers and doctors of medicine, which have been published in the Oxford Dictionary
of National Biography. As a dedicated Sherlock Holmes enthusiast he has now applied
his analytical skills to examining the scientific aspects of the Sherlock Holmes
cases.
With its many illustrations, this is a book which will delight all fans of
the Sherlock Holmes stories. It provides a fully researched and well-referenced account
of the wide range of scientific knowledge and observation that Sherlock Holmes could
bring to bear in solving the various murders and mysteries so eloquently developed
by his creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
This book also provides a time picture of the
earliest development of forensic science in the Victorian period, and combined with
its valuable resource of notes, fills a long-standing need for a reference book on
all scientific aspects of the Sherlock Holmes stories.
