   A compact, authoritative guide to Bath's architecture that traces the city's development from Roman remains through medieval layers to its celebrated Georgian rebuilding and later Victorian and modern additions; it provides clear descriptions and critical assessments of principal buildings and streetscapes—such as the Circus, the Royal Crescent, Pulteney Bridge and Bath Abbey—while contextualizing designers, materials and urban planning and offering practical guidance for walkers and anyone seeking informed, historically grounded architectural insight.

2. 2. Houdini Vs. Rasputin

   

   Set against the upheaval of the early 20th century, the book juxtaposes the lives and legacies of a celebrity escape artist and a notorious Russian mystic, tracing how one fought to expose fraudulent spiritualists while the other exercised disturbing influence over the Romanov court. Drawing on archival sources and vivid narrative, it reconstructs Rasputin’s rise and violent fall, the magician’s transatlantic crusade against superstition, and the wider cultural currents—war, revolution, fame, and fear of the supernatural—that intertwined entertainment, politics, and belief on the eve of imperial collapse.
