Rotherham provides an insight into this forgotten part of the Yorkshire landscape. Whilst there is little trace of the fens within the landscape, through his writing, Ian D. Within the book, it is stated that 'the fens were removed, almost without a trace left'. This is because the fenland areas within Yorkshire have been largely lost over the years. Generally speaking, Yorkshire is an area which is not well known for its fenlands, at least not in the same what that Cambridgeshire is. This book ticks many boxes - interesting, informative and enlightening. He goes on to suggest how we, as a society, may try (and in some cases are trying) to alleviate problems such as wholesale flooding that our civilisation has caused, in its struggle to prosper, during the virtual destruction of the once great Fenlands of Yorkshire over the last 400 years. Illustrations (including maps, photographs, paintings and extracts from historic documents) abound as the professor expertly takes us on a journey to then attempt to answer that very question, drawing together the story of a changing landscape and, unfortunately, the cultures and wildlife that has been lost forever. Ian Rotherham's book initially poses the question 'Whodunnit?' regarding why the 3,000 or so square kilometres of land that had once comprised the Northern Fenlands of Yorkshire has disappeared.

The 1998 book Acres of Skin: Human Experiments at Holmesburg Prison, by Allen M. The prison is also notable for several major riots in the early 1970s as well as a report released in 1968, the results of an extensive two-year investigation by the Offices of the Philadelphia Police Commissioner and the District Attorney of Philadelphia documenting hundreds of cases of the rape of inmates. The creation of the Nuremberg Code with the rule of informed consent was drafted based on this case as well as several others, like the Tuskegee experiments in Alabama. The experiments and research conducted on prisoners soon influenced ethical standards that are used today in modern research. It was the site of controversial decades-long dermatological, pharmaceutical, and biochemical weapons research projects involving testing on inmates. As of today, the structure still stands and is occasionally used for prisoner overflow and work programs. It was decommissioned in 1995 when it closed. The facility is located at 8215 Torresdale Ave in the Holmesburg section of Philadelphia. Holmesburg Prison, given the nickname "The Terrordome," was a prison operated by the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania Department of Prisons (PDP) from 1896 to 1995.

Mike is a successful songwriter and musician, coupled up with Midge, a tallented and succesful illustrator, primarily of children’s books. A sensible enough choice though as it allows a very individual persepective of a mystifying series of events – giving us perhaps a little bias, but also giving a strange objectivity for the protagonist allows the story to be told without too much hindsight (despite alluding to the severity of what is to come). The Magic Cottage is slightly unusual in Herbert’s oeuvre for its narrative in the first person. I really can’t seem to escape the lure of Herbert’s prose – so incredibly easy to read, and captivating the imagination in his world of occult trappings. “Still… not getting it.” She shrugged, burrowing deeper into the jacket, her eyes wandering over The White King’s form.
