First Into Action - Duncan Falconer

The SBS was first into battle a month before the SAS in the Falklands War and again in the Gulf War, yet hitherto it is the SAS that has had by far the higher profile. The SBS draws its manpower solely from the Marine Commando Units, and the Royal Marines are the oldest and most battle-honoured regiment in the world. FIRST INTO ACTION is the first Special Boat Services memoir written from the inside. It tells how Duncan Falconer trained with the Royal Marines in Deal before being recruited into the SBS at Poole in Dorset. The regimen of ruthless training is graphically described and the book also includes revelatory accounts of SBS operations in Ulster, Bosnia and the Gulf War, and of the intense rivalry between the SAS''s individualist mentality and the more team-based, marine ethos of the SBS. Duncan Falconer''s grippingly detailed memoir is sure to command the attention of anyone interested in the Special Forces and how they operate.

How to Be Avant-Garde - Morgan Falconer

The strange story of the twentieth-century artists who sought to destroy art by transforming it into the substance of everyday life. “Art has poisoned our life,” proclaimed Dutch artist and De Stijl cofounder Theo van Doesburg. Reacting to the tumultuous crises of the twentieth century, especially the horrors of World War I, avant-garde artists and writers sought to destroy art by transforming it into the substance of everyday life. Following the evolution of these revolutionary groups, How to Be Avant-Garde charts its pioneers and radical ideas. From Paris to New York, from Zurich to Moscow and Berlin, avant-gardists challenged the confines of the definition of art along with the confines of the canvas itself. Art historian Morgan Falconer starts with the dynamic Futurist founder Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, whose manifesto extolling speed, destruction, and modernity seeded avant-gardes across Europe. In turn, Dadaists Hugo Ball and Emmy Hennings sought to replace art with political cabaret, and the Surrealists tried to exchange it for tools to plumb the unconscious. He guides us through the Russian Constructivists with their adventures in advertising and utopianism and then De Stijl with the geometric abstractions of Piet Mondrian. The Bauhaus broke more boundaries, transmuting art into architecture ... Unknown localization key: "more"

New Songs of Innocence - S. J. Hodson

"Poetry is language at play. In New Songs of Innocence S.J. Hodson is hard at work in this playground teasing us with syllabic verse ("Beside Himself with Calm"), haiku stanzas ("A Cougar Strolled By"), sonnet, ("Sonnet for Miriam"), and villanelle ("A Poet's Dark Night of the Soul"). He relishes the natural rhythm of speech and knows how to polish it metrically. He rhymes in wonderfully complex ways, combining end rhyme, internal rhyme, slant rhyme, sight rhyme and the unexpected sudden break from rhyme. But poetry isn't just play, however clever. Language is a serious matter. It's not working unless it opens us up to our world. Beauty is at once at odds with and requires truth. In this ancient quarrel between poetry and philosophy, S.J. Hodson comes down squarely on both sides. At its best poetry teaches without preaching. If Blake's Songs of Innocence calls established religion into question to recover wonder at the religious spirit that gives birth to it, Hodson's New Songs of Innocence means to call into question science, the established religion of our time, to wonder again at what gives birth to it, the scientific spirit.

The Pulitzer Prize–winning novel about love and the constraints of privilege, and the basis for Martin Scorsese's outstanding, award-winning 1993 adaptation, now freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Classics Line. The Age of Innocence begins with Newland Archer—gentleman-lawyer and scion of one of New York's most privileged families—anticipating his marriage to the gentle, lovely, and equally privileged May Welland. But when Newland meets May's cousin, the beautiful and scandal-ridden Countess Ellen Olenska, he begins to doubt his choice of bride and his place within the shallow, gilded cage of society life. If the Countess Olenska can dare to leave her disastrous marriage, can defy the unspoken, iron-clad rules that have shaped her life—what freedoms are possible for him? And what does true innocence look like in a world strangled by hollow custom, trivial squabbles, and the appearance of goodness? The Age of Innocence is one of Edith Wharton's greatest novels and a true classic that continues to inspire and transfix readers today.

The Urban Design Legacy of Colin Rowe - Antonio Pietro Latini, Steven Hurtt, James Tice

Colin Rowe is acknowledged to be the most influential figure in architectural theory in the last half of the 20th century. Although his contribution to the discipline and practice of urban design is equally important, there is no single text which specifically focuses on his work in this sphere. This book intends to address this omission by critically examining Rowe''s urban design theory and its evolution, which began at the Cornell University Urban Design program in 1963 and continued until his death in 1999. The text features a score of previously unpublished essays by prominent scholars, educators and practitioners, many of whom were his students or close collaborators. The Urban Design Legacy of Colin Rowe provides a window to explore past, present and future themes central to the discipline of urban design as seen through the critical lens of Colin Rowe and those who continue to define their creative work in relationship to that extraordinary intellect.

Of Age and Innocence - George Lamming

When the charismatic Isaac Shepherd returns to the island of San Christobal it is lead by an independence movement that for a time unites all the island''s diverse groups – Africans, Indians and Chinese – against the colonial establishment. But each group relates in different ways to colonialism and their failure to communicate openly about those differences leads to mutual suspicions that provide their enemies with the means to destroy them. Parallel to the world of the political leaders is the tight bond between their sons, including the white son of the reactionary chief of police, and Ma Shepherd, Isaac Shepherd''s mother. They are the Age and Innocence of the novel''s title, though the nature of innocence is thoroughly deconstructed. In what is still one of the most insightful explorations of the nature of race and ethnicity in colonial and postcolonial societies, Lamming reaches far beneath the surface of ethnic difference into the very heart of the processes of perception, communication and coming to knowledge. In a classic novel that is tense and tragic in its denouement and throughout deeply enquiring, Lamming has written one of the half dozen most important Caribbean novels of all time.George Lamming was born in ...

The Age of Innocence - Edith Whartonová

Widely regarded as one of Edith Wharton''s greatest achievements, The Age of Innocence is not only subtly satirical, but also a sometimes dark and disturbing comedy of manners in its exploration of the ''eternal triangle'' of love. Set against the backdrop of upper-class New York society during the 1870s, the author''s combination of powerful prose combined with a thoroughly researched and meticulous evocation of the manners and style of the period, has delighted readers since the novel''s first publication in 1920. In 1921 The Age of Innocence achieved a double distinction - it won the Pulitzer Prize and it was the first time this prestigious award had been won by a woman author.

Songs of Innocence and of Experience - William Blake

Blake was one of the finest craftsmen of his time, an artist for whom art and poetry were inextricably linked. He was an indepedent and rebellious thinker, who abhorred pretention and falsity in others. His Songs of Innocence are products of this innocent imagination untainted by worldliness, while the Songs of Experience resulted from his feelings of indignation and pity for the sufferings of mankind. The Songs of Innocence and Experience , containing some of Blake''s finest and best-loved poems, are presented here in the form which best satisfied the high expectations of his poetic and artistic aspirations. The fifty-four plates which Blake originallly etched and coloured by hand are faithfully reproduced with the same delicacy and dimensions as the artist created them.

The Innocence of Pontius Pilate - David Lloyd Dusenbury

The gospels and ancient historians agree: Jesus was sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate, the Roman imperial prefect in Jerusalem. To this day, Christians of all churches confess that Jesus died ''under Pontius Pilate''. But what exactly does that mean?Within decades of Jesus'' death, Christians began suggesting that it was the Judaean authorities who had crucified Jesus--a notion later echoed in the Qur''an. In the third century, one philosopher raised the notion that, although Pilate had condemned Jesus, he''d done so justly; this idea survives in one of the main strands of modern New Testament criticism. So what is the truth of the matter? And what is the history of that truth?David Lloyd Dusenbury reveals Pilate''s ''innocence'' as not only a neglected theological question, but a recurring theme in the history of European political thought. He argues that Jesus'' interrogation by Pilate, and Augustine of Hippo''s North African sermon on that trial, led to the concept of secularity and the logic of tolerance emerging in early modern Europe. Without the Roman trial of Jesus, and the arguments over Pilate''s innocence, the history of empire--from the first century to the twenty-first--would have been radically different.

Nedosažitelné prvenství - O‘Brady Colin

„Završení O’Bradyho úsilí se zapsalo mezi nejpozoruhodnější úspěchy polárních výprav.“ Úctyhodná autobiografie Colina O’Bradyho popisuje jeho úspěšné zotavení z tragické nehody, korunované sólovým pochodem o délce 1500 km napříč Antarktidou. Až do prosince 2018 se nikomu nepodařilo přejít pevninskou Antarktidu sám, bez pomoci a jen vlastními silami. A právě k tomu odhodlal Colin O’Brady, přestože o deset let dříve pochyboval o tom, že bude ještě někdy normálně chodit. Z temnot tragické nehody si vybojoval cestu zpátky na vrchol. Sám se svými myšlenkami téměř dva měsíce na rozlehlém zmrzlém kontinentu – zmítaný strachem a pochybnostmi – se vracel do minulosti a hledal odvahu a inspiraci ve vztazích a zážitcích, které ovlivnily jeho život. Upřímná, velmi dojemná kniha naplněná křehkými okamžiky na pozadí nejextrémnějšího prostředí na světě – od Mount Everestu po Antarktidu – ukazuje, jak může každý z nás zavrhnout hranice, překonat ty nejtěžší překážky a zjistit, na čem nejvíc záleží. COLIN O’BRADY je cestovatel, špičkový vytrvalostní sportovec, držitel několika světových rekordů a motivační řečník. Mezi jeho výkony patří první sólový přechod Antarktidy bez podpory, jen pomocí svých vlastních sil; je držitelem horolezeckých rychlostních rekordů Explorers Grand Slamu a Sedmi vrcholů a zdolal nejvyšší vrcholy všech padesáti států USA za rekordních ...

On stage, backstage, in the rehearsal room, behind the scenes, on tour, at work and at play, Colin's photographs, and the stories and memories they evoke for him in his accompanying text, form an intimate portrait of the musical and cultural iconoclasts as they travel through 'our middle years: all the joy and doubt and confidence and uncertainty we would oscillate between'.
