"Canals turn Tourists into Pilgrims! At three miles an hour - afoot or afloat - there's time to savour the landscape in ways that most 'hundred mile an hour' lifestyles won't allow. Not without irony, 18th and 19th century trade routes are now a powerful source of rest and relaxation for millions from all walks of life. Pearson's Canal Companions have been guiding people to a greater understanding of the inland waterways network for more than 35 years. They are the equivalent of a programme at a concert, theatre production or sporting event: a source of inspiration, interpretation and souvenir all wrapped up within one traditionally sign-written cover." Coverage: Grand Union Canal - Stoke Bruerne to Leicester, River Soar, Erewash Canal, Trent Navigation - Derwent Mouth to Cromwell, River Nene - Northampton to Peterborough.

The armed forces of Rome, particularly those of the later Republic and Principate, are rightly regarded as some of the finest military formations ever to engage in warfare. Less well known however is their use by the State as tools for such nonmilitary activities in political, economic and social contexts. In this capacity they were central instruments for the Emperor to ensure the smooth running of the Empire. In this book the use of the military for such non-conflict related duties is considered in detail for the first time. The first, and best known, is running the great construction projects of the Empire in their capacity as engineers. Next, the role of the Roman military in the running of industry across the Roman Empire is examined, particularly the mining and quarrying industries but also others. They also took part in agriculture, administered and policed the Empire, provided a firefighting resource and organized games in the arena. The soldiers of Rome really were the foundations on which the Roman Empire was constructed: they literally built an empire. Simon Elliott lifts the lid on this less well-known side to the Roman army, in an accessible narrative designed for a wide readership.
