A bothy is a remote hut in the wilderness that you can’t reserve, with no electricity, mod-cons or running water. The doors are always unlocked, you just need to step inside.

From the rugged cliffs at the northern tip of Scotland to the fairy-tale valleys of Wales, historian Kat Hill tours us across the UK exploring the history of these wild shelters and her fellow wanderers – past and present.

Bothy is a stirring, beautiful book for anyone who longs to run away to the wilds.

In Search of Simple Shelter 

Bothy

Baptism, Brotherhood, and Belief changes how we think about the Protestant Reformation in Germany in the sixteenth century. It examines the responses of ordinary men and women in central Germany who chose to associate themselves with the radical movement of the Anabaptists, groups who rejected infant baptism and adopted adult baptism. Instead of focusing simply on theological ideas and intellectuals, it mines archival material which has never before beenexamined and adopts novel approaches to dissect the emotional and individual responses to religious changes brought about by Martin Luther's reformation. Rejecting infant baptism, refusing to attend theEucharist, or abandoning marriages were all dangerous choices in early modern Germany. But this study explains how Anabaptists came to make such decisions as they faced the challenges of religious reform, and in so doing it paints a newly dynamic picture of the German Reformation.
