Duncan Carse
Between 1951 and 1957 he organised and led to the sub-Antarctic a series of small expeditions known as the South Georgia Surveys
It was a time when the whalers wero still whaling, the sealers still working the beaches from small boats under oars, the time when a man could go out with a blank sheet of paper and come back with a map. In between whales. broadcasts, and lectures, Carse did his best to Jive down Dick Barton. In those years it was still possible for the private explorer, given funds and luck, to stick his neck out and do ' the complete iob.'

5: ' Amidst thy desert walks, the lapwing flies '
Most of the villages which spread over the English countryside in the Middle Ages still exist today. But nearly 2.000 of them have died-and their remains give archaeologists the opportunity to find out what individual houses actually looked like before the fifteenth century and how medieval villages expanded or declined.
Archeologists describe their work nn sites at Hound Tor in Devon, Wharram Percy in Yorkshire, Faxton in Northamptonshire, and Upton Wold in Gloucestershire.
