Planted in the 1840s, the original beech trees in Beechwoods Nature Reserve are all mature, with saplings beneath, and in Autumn the ground is carpeted in rust and fluorescent copper leaves.
Picture from my new book 'Cambridge - Light & Shade'. Available at all bookshops.

What is the ‘Last Post’ and where did it come from?
Canadians will soon gather across the country to remember and honour those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the military service of this country. Commemorative services will be held in venues…

What are the best 2nd-hand bookshops in the UK -- if by 'best' I mean shops that tend towards (1) interestingly curated stock (2) atmosphere (bit messy, bit tumbled down -- but a place you want to be in) (3) knowledgeable staff who add something (4) inspiring. Trying to make a list!

Cannot recommend this book highly enough: it takes history education seriously and is a history of ideas about it - it’s also a powerful philosophical enquiry.

Empathy and History @berghahnbooks.bsky.social—the principal arguments:
1) Empathy designates the attempt to grasp the 'context' in which people’s actions made sense
2) The methodological question raised by empathy concerns the way in which this 'context' enters a historical explanation 1/2
