A sweeping historic tale of a half-Roman, half-Briton scout known as Marcus to his Roman friends and colleagues, and Uffin to his mother and family. Speaking both Latin and Brittonic, Marcus travels freely north of Hadrian's Wall, trading with tribes-folk but reporting to his Roman masters.During one such trip, he is mistakenly accused of murdering his commanding officer and sentenced to serve his life out in the lead mines. Escaping with a female slave and aided by a highly respected Druid, Marcus crosses the Wall and hides among the many tribes beyond the yoke of Rome.Back at Housesteads, the large Roman fort on Hadrian's Wall, troops are gathering for an incursion north. The magnificent 9th Legion is proposing to teach these unruly tribes a lesson in submission.The Druids present Marcus Uffin as their figurehead to lead the tribes while the might of Rome marches to subjugate this ragtag collection of primitives.Or, perhaps, there is a different lesson to be learned.A discussion guide is included in this book.

Chromatopia is the creation of David Coles, founder and master paintmaker at Langridge Artist Colours - one of the world's most respected makers of artists' oil paints. David has been involved in the world of colour his whole life, both as a paintmaker and lecturer. By bringing art and science together, this book is the culmination of a life's work in the field.

Over the last twenty-five years, David has channelled this enthusiasm for colour into guest lectures for many of the world's leading art colleges. In the process, he has helped a generation of artists discover, select, and ultimately master the materials best suited to their artistic intentions.
