From steamy bathhouses to altars to Sol the sun god and leather shoes that still survive to this day, an eye-opening new exhibition chronicles Scotland under the Romans (before they fled) Inveresk is a handsome village near Edinburgh that sits above a curve of the little river Esk, not far from the mighty Firth of Forth. It is full of elegant 18th-century houses and an attractive kirk, dated 1805. To the casual observer, there is absolutely nothing Roman about it. And yet, in 2010, when the local cricket pavilion was being rebuilt, an extraordinary find was made – two altars made of local sand

The Greek choreographer came out top of four finalists, picked by a judging panel including Arlene Phillips and PJ Harvey, for his piece Larsen C, a shadowy, trance-like and glacially paced crescendo o

TV tonight: how three rockstar chefs sparked a foodie revolution

We were promised a panacea for the climate crisis and a way to save our food system. So why is nobody firing up the chicken vats? I went to find out On 5 August 2013, a man and a woman ate a burger. Not just any burger: a world-historic burger, made from cattle cells grown in a laboratory by Mark Post , a professor of vascular physiology at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. The burger had taken two years to produce and cost €250,000 (about £210,000 at the time), money furnished by the Google co-founder Sergey Brin.

DEAD DHARMA
Rae, an author, academic, and musician, examines the Grateful Dead’s eventful history and “points to the unique fusion of the band’s ethos and praxis with elements of Buddhist thought.” Certainly, the band’s countercultural milieu was awash in Eastern and Native American spirituality, and, though none of the group’s members practiced Buddhism as such, many of their precursors, peers, and followers did. Moreover, the Dead frequently emphasized the spiritual aspect of their project, placing it squarely in what Rae’s subtitle calls “the American quest for transcendence.” Rather than offering a tr

LIJAH
The novel begins with 15-year-old Lijah coming home to an empty townhouse. His mother has apparently stepped out, and his truck-driver father, who’s been away for work, should have returned days ago.
