It is November already! Crazy. The year has really flown by and before long we will be into 2012. We are sure everyone is looking forward to a nice end-of-year rest and a chance to let your hair down. Before it is quite time to break out the New Year's champagne, however, we would like to bring you the brand new 2012 Reference Catalog, hot off the press and available for download today. Look out for all our social media links, divided by subject area, dotted throughout the Catalog. If you use Facebook or Twitter, there could be something for you!

2011 has been a busy year for Routledge Reference. The Routledge Revivals series, which reissues a wide range of out-of-print titles, has grown to include over 350 titles, all of which are available in hardback and as eBooks. And you can now purchase Revivals as subject-specific bundles within Sociology, Philosophy, Literature, Economics and Politics. Is there a bundle that could benefit your library?

We are expecting the next few months to be equally busy. In December we publish our long-awaited Education set, which boasts contributions from some of the greatest educationalists, teaching professionals and policy makers of the twentieth century. You can get the full low down on the 244-volume Education collection by taking a peek at its new dedicated Online Catalog.

And December will also see the publication of the last of our 2012 Europa Regional Surveys of the World. Eastern Europe, Russia and Central Asia 2012 and The USA and Canada 2012 will be published on the 8th and 15th December respectively. Again, to make life easier, we have put together a snazzy Online Catalog for this collection. In fact, Online Catalogs have been one of our big projects this year, to avoid sending you too many printed pieces (and saving trees in the process!). In the relevant sections of the Reference Catalog you will find screenshots explaining how you can access all our new Online Catalog. Enjoy!

Three Routledge books have been included in BBC History's list of books to help give a better understanding of archaeology.

The second edition of Archaeology: The Basics has been revised to reflect growth in areas such as material culture, human evolution and the political use of the past. A piece of broken pottery will never seem the same again after this lively and engaging text.

Archaeology: An Introduction is now in its fifth edition. In addition to drawing upon examples and case studies from many regions of the world and periods of the past, it incorporates the authors' own fieldwork, research and teaching and features a new four-colour text design and colour illustrations plus an additional 50 topic boxes.

The Archaeology of Britain is the only concise and up-to-date introduction to the archaeological record of Britain from the reoccupation of the landmass by Homo sapiens during the later stages of the most recent Ice Age until last century. This fully revised second edition extends its coverage, including greater detail on the first millennium AD beyond the Anglo-Saxon domain, and into recent times to look at the archaeological record produced by Britain’s central role in two World Wars and the Cold War.

Making full use of the rapid advances in satellite technology, Routledge author Sarah Parcak reveals remarkable findings in the forthcoming BBC documentary Egypt's Lost Cities. To read more about Dr. Parcak's findings visit the BBC website.

It has been called 'the best book in the English language for fifty years or more on the practice of field archaeology' by Richard Hodges, Director of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, USA and British Archaeology Magazine described it as 'quite simply a terrific book, and is now the primer for matters of archaeological technique and methodology.'
