Published to accompany the third series of Wild Tracks, HTV's most successful programme, this book follows twelve of Fishlock's walks in Wales. Not a guidebook so much as an itinerary of places of historical and cultural interest, Fishlock meets local characters and searches out the oddities of history in Wales. Fishlock's writing has a clarity and descriptive quality which is matched by stills taken from the television series. Although the films are broadcast only in Wales and on cable television, armchair travellers and everyone with an interest in the matter of Britain will find something to charm or puzzle them in this book.

Conquerors of Time celebrates 150 years of courage, energy, innovation, resourcefulness and grand ideas, from the late 17th century to the early 20th. It's about the seafarers, engineers, inventors and trailblazers who enabled the British to hold together a vast empire and the Americans to push their frontiers west. Some, such as Captain Cook and Robert Stephenson are famous. Others, like the makers of chromonometers, the collectors of tropical plants or the railway engineers who roughed it in the Canadian wilderness are less well-known. What they all had in common is a desire to understand the world and a determination to harness the forces of nature.

The Senedd was designed to be a bridge into the future, emerging from a long historical and political evolution. Designed by architect Richard Rogers, the building rose as the country's distinctive ultra-modern forum, the expression of the people's voices and diversity. This illustrated book by Trevor Fishlock, with photographs by Andrew Molyneux, explores the background to the Assembly's site in Cardiff Bay, and the government in Wales. The photographs illustrate the beauty of the building's architecture: its construction, technology and symbolism. The book is ideal for those with an interest in politics and architecture.
