- Travellers, 17th century, England, religion, lands of the Bohemian Crown, cestovatelé, cestopisy, 17. století, Anglie, země Koruny české, náboženství, konfese, katolictví, and protestanství
- Language:

- Description:
- The article shows the Bohemian lands in the 17th century as mediated by travelogues of English provenance, in particular travel diaries written both for personal use only and to be later published. Attention is mainly focused on the religious situation in Bohemia and Moravia and its transformation in the studied period in the context of the denomination of the English visitors. The paper further briefly describes individual travellers from England, who would come to the European continent for various reasons and would also visit the Kingdom of Bohemia as part of this trip.

3. A fossil head of an enicocephalomorphan (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) from England revisited: Identity of the first fossil species of Enicocephalidae from Europe
- Creator:

- Subject:
- Insecta, Hemiptera, Heteroptera, fossil Enicocephalidae, † Pyrenicocephalus jarzembowskii, new genus, new species, Early Eocene, London Clay, England, palaeoentomology, taxonomy, and morphology
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- † Pyrenicocephalus jarzembowskii, gen. et sp. n. (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Enicocephalomorpha: Enicocephalidae: Enicocephalinae) from Early Eocene, London Clay, England, Isle of Sheppey, is described and illustrated according to the unique pyritized adult head reported as a larval enicocephalid head by Jarzembowski (1986). The head anatomy of similar and related genera of Enicocephalinae is compared and the close relationship of the new genus to a clade including the extant genera Oncylocotis, Embolorrhinus and Hoplitocoris is suggested, most probably as the sister genus to Hoplitocoris (presently with Afrotropical, East Palaearctic and Oriental range).

5. Social housing in England: affordable vs ''affordable''
- Creator:
- Scanlon, Kathleen
- Type:
- article, model:article, and TEXT
- Subject:
- social housing, affordable housing, England, and social landlords
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- England's increasing housing affordability problem, widely described as a 'housing crisis', has become a major public and political concern in recent years. The proportion of social housing has been shrinking for 40 years but there is no political appetite - at least under the current government - to reverse this. Policies are instead addressed at making some private housing more affordable and at increasing access to owner occupation by allowing more social tenants to buy their homes. The government has increased its control over the financial affairs of social landlords, who are responding by concentrating on those areas of activity where control is less stringent.

6. Středověké plužiny Velké Británie a jejich význam pro poznání zemědělského vývoje v českých zemích
- Creator:
- Dohnal, Martin
- Format:
- bez média and svazek
- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- Landscape, Historical geography, England, Middle ages and early modern period, Land use, Agriculture, and Ridge and furrow
- Language:
- Czech
- Description:
- Extensive medieval and Early Modern field systems have been preserved in English countryside. The article aims at achieving synopsis on English research for the purpose of explaining similar traces of past agricultural activities in the Czech Republic. In England, majority of preserved field systems consist almost exclusively of ridge and furrow, whilst in the Czech Republic strip lynchets and field boundaries are mostly detected. However, local ridge and furrow is mentioned many times in Bohemian documentary evidence. Comparison with British field systems already helped to put Czech research into a broader context (Dohnal 2003; 2006). The author therefore recommends employing British research in explaining Bohemian archive and iconographical materials on local ridge and furrow. The article describes the main results of exploring English ridge and furrow, its appearance, date of origin, purpose and variations. Other remnants of medieval landscapes (strip lynchets) are discussed as well. Special attention is paid to “reversed S” shape of many medieval fields, hardly explained phenom-enon related probably to complicated maneuvering with plough teams.
