About World of Books Ltd West Sussex, United Kingdom
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we're helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.

From the rear cover
"A work of considerable learning and precise scholarship, The Power of Place demonstrates how rulers supported and extended power through the places from which they exercised it. I know of no other book that brings together this topic in such a comprehensive, systematic way. The book's breadth, accessibility, and illustrations make it attractive to a wide audience."--R. I. Moore, professor emeritus of history, Newcastle University
"This extremely ambitious and appealing book discusses an array of structures and building sites over time, from Roman antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages, and across the face of Western Europe. Richly illustrated, it impressively compiles a wide range of material from a variety of sources and succeeds in examining the nature of power through buildings. No other work on this subject covers this much information."--Charles B. McClendon, Brandeis University
