Railways Remembered: North East England - Jenkins Martin, Charles Roberts
The north east of England was the crucible of the railway revolution in the early nineteenth century. The Stockton & Darlington Railway, which opened in 1825, was the world''s first public railway to use steam locomotives. As the national network developed, the East Coast Main Line passed through the region on its way from London to Edinburgh and virtually every part of the area was linked to a large and complex web of lines which were built to serve coal mines and other heavy industries as well as communities across the region. As the century developed, by a process of expansion and amalgamation, the North Eastern Railway came to dominate the area. This became part of the LNER group in 1923 though with the formation of British Railways in 1948, the new North Eastern Region of BR, with its distinctive orange signage, served an area closely comparable to that of the old NER itself. This new colour album explores the railways of the north east from the 1950s through to the 1970s using largely hitherto unpublished images from the files of the Online Transport Archive. These cover steam, diesel and electric traction and whilst focusing on the main line railways, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Marratide - William Martin
William Martin (1925-2010) was a poet of extraordinary vision and musicality. Thoroughly grounded in his native North-East England, its pit communities and industry, his song-like poems nevertheless traverse a vast geographical and historical landscape ranging from deep Celtic and Anglo-Saxon sources to the thought and myths of India, via a passionate political engagement that never limits song to mere rhetoric. He also drew on childrenÂ’s games, ballads and street songs in poems showing both political anger and a wider concern for a society losing its common ground, its rituals and rites of passage.

Industrial Locomotives & Railways of The North East - Gordon Edgar
Continuing his series of regional books reviewing the industrial railways of England, Wales and Scotland, author Gordon Edgar looks at the railways of what is today Northumbria, County Durham and Teesside, covering a period of the last six decades, with an emphasis upon the former National Coal Board railways. This is the eighth volume in the series, covering an area once proudly boasting widespread coal mining, steelmaking and shipbuilding activities, as well as numerous other traditional industries large and small, most now sadly history. The industrial railway diversity that one could have witnessed in this region up until the latter part of the twentieth century was arguably unequalled in Britain. The National Coal Board’s Lambton, Hetton, Bowes, Derwenthaugh, Ashington and Backworth railway systems, and the steel and ironworks complexes at Consett, Lackenby and Skinningrove, and Doxford’s shipyard in Sunderland are just some of the locations familiar to many industrial railway enthusiasts, all of which are covered. Far-reaching changes in this region over the last half-century sadly leave just three bona-fide industrial railway locations featured in this book surviving today.Primarily utilising previously unpublished photographs, the author offers a fascinating insight into the industrial railways and locomotives of this region, endeavouring to ...

Hill Farming in the North of England - John Bentley
Hill farming is a way of life and, although the hill farmer in the north of England has changed with the times, the traditions remain strong and the dramatic upland landscape is eternal. In Hill Farming in the North of England , photographer John Bentley has had access to the world of the hill farmer. Hill farming is round-the-clock work, season to season, still predominantly done on family farms. In this book farmers at work are shown through the seasons of the year, which dictate the farming calendar, from providing winter feed for the livestock – mostly sheep and cattle – to shearing, haymaking, lambing in the spring and ‘tupping’ in the autumn, and going to sales, shows and sheepdog trials. It is a visual portrait of a remarkable way of life and part of our farming heritage. Look through these photographs and you will quickly see the unique challenges of hill farming in the stunning but often harsh landscape of the north of England.

Great Public Buildings of the North East - Johnson Michael
Britain’s towns and cities are dominated by great public buildings that serve their communities in diverse ways. Foremost among these buildings are the town halls erected for the purpose of civic administration. As seats of local government, town halls are the power bases that have ruled Britain’s great municipalities for centuries. Architecturally, these buildings are inherently symbolic, proclaiming the status, values and history of the towns and cities in which they stand.Great Public Buildings of the North East celebrates the architecture of town halls and civic centres in this distinctive region. The survey encompasses the baroque town halls of the eighteenth century, the eclectic civic palaces of the Victorian era and the more abstract civic centres of the post-war period, conceived as beacons of modernity and political transparency. Analysing these fascinating buildings within a single volume, this book asks how the settlements of North-East England expressed themselves through the medium of civic architecture.Michael Johnson is Assistant Professor of Design History at Northumbria University and Architecture Editor for the Routledge Encyclopaedia of Modernism.

Kyberfotografie. Neprůzračné médium a technologický realismus - Michaela Fišerová, Martin Charvát
Kolektivní monografie Michaely Fišerové a Martina Charváta zaměřuje pozornost na problematiku "kyberfotografie" z hlediska proponovaného současnou mediální filosofií, Foucaultovou genealogií a Derridovou dekonstrukcí. Autoři analyzují změnu dispozitivu, k níž došlo v kontextu nastupujících digitálních technologií v 21. století. Společným bodem jejich dvou kapitol je srovnání a odlišení analogové fotografie, digitální fotografie a kyberfotografie. Autoři zavádějí pojem "kyberfotografie", jímž rozumí digitální fotografii, která je automaticky pořízena a retušována softwerem "chytrého telefonu": hybridního zařízení kombinujícího funkce digitální kamery a mobilního telefonu s přístupem na internet. První kapitola pojednává o debatě týkající se vztahu mezi fotografií a "realitou". Jak ukazuje Martin Charvát, v teoretické diskuzi o analogové i digitální fotografii se konstantně objevuje fantazma o existenci nezávislé "objektivní reality", kterou může fotoaparát zachytit a reprezentovat. V "éře" kyberfotografie je něco takového nemožné: kyberfotografie zavádí radikální změnu do vztahu mezi médiem a realitou, jako i mezi člověkem a technologickým zařízením. Člověk se stává pouhým operatérem svého zařízení, jak by řekl Vilém Flusser. Druhá kapitola zaměřuje pozornost na tradiční sociální praxi retuše fotografie, jejíž posláním bylo "opakovaně se dotknout", tudíž modifikovat původně "autentický", "nedotčený" otisk světla. Na základě inspirace Derridovou filosofií Michaela Fišerová uvádí svou úvahu dekonstrukcí metafyzického očekávání "autentičnosti" od analogové i digitální fotografické ...

Joint Railways: Eastern and Southern England - Patrick Bennett
The pre-Grouping Companies were fiercely competitive and would defend any incursion by another company penetrating what they considered to be their ‘territories’. Nevertheless, at times they would cooperate. This cooperation resulted in a large number of joint lines. These joint lines ranged from fully independent operations, complete with their own staffs, locomotives and rolling stock, to short lengths of railway used by the joint companies, the cost of maintenance of which was shared.There were more than seventy of these joint lines, and all feature in this series by popular railway author Patrick Bennett. This volume focuses on those found in eastern and southern England.

Hitler's Invasion of East Anglia, 1940 - Martin W. Bowman
Did a German invasion or invasions take place along the shores of East Anglia in 1940? Though Operation ‘Sealion’, the intended invasion of southern England, never materialized, Hitler openly confided that ''even a small invasion might go a long way’, and asked that his forces might mount one, two or even three ‘small invasions’ in 1940. So were the mass raids on London merely a diversion? Why have all the files on this most dramatic period in British history been placed under lock and key for the foreseeable future? Why have the instances involving setting fire to the sea and skirmishes around our coasts been covered up?Martin W. Bowman tells the full story of these remarkable events - both actual and ‘factional’ - involving British defenders in the Army, Home Guard and Auxiliary Units and the invading Fallschirmjäger (German paratroopers) and Brandenburgers (Fifth Column troops, many in civilian or captured British uniforms); Luftwaffe Fieseler Storch aircraft and Junkers Ju 52s towing DFS 200 gliders and parachutists.

Zázračné křížení: Karel Teige a Vítězslav Nezval - Martin Charvát
Monografie se zabývá medialitou díla Karla Teigeho a Vítězslava Nezvala, dvou vůdčích postav českého poetismu, z pohledu filozofie médií.V duchu uvažování Marshalla McLuhana, o které se Martin Charvát opírá, nejsou pro něj média neutrální prostředník, nýbrž způsob vidění a pociťování, který determinuje lidskou zkušenost. Zkoumá, jakým způsobem dochází ve vybraných textech Teigeho i Nezvala k - jakkoliv implicitní - tematizaci vztahu světa, techniky, médií a společnosti, resp. lidského bytí ve světě. Vychází při tom z předpokladu, že u těchto dvou autorů lze rozklíčovat specifickou "mediální ontologii", která do značné míry určuje jejich nazírání na svět a tvoří tak fundamentální rovinu jejich myšlení. Kniha je určena akademickým odborníkům na filozofii médií, ale také dalším zájemcům o české moderní umění, osobnosti českého poetismu a avantgardního umění.

Mediální archeologie synchronizace - Martin Charvát
Kniha Martina Charváta předkládá čtenáři mediálně archeologickou sondu do období mezi lety 1870-1930, kdy populární i technologické imaginárno byly prostoupeny fantazmatickými úvahami o možnostech vidění do dálky. Předpokladem bylo simultánní modulování obrazu a oka, tedy vzájemná kooptace techniky člověkem a člověka technikou. Člověk se musel adaptovat na "nová" média, a zároveň "nová" média utvořila prostředí, v němž docházelo k synchronizaci člověka a médií, respektive k jejich úzkému propojení. Nová optická situace zároveň vyžadovala nutnost manipulaci s analogovými interfacy, všemožny´mi spínacími deskami a ovládacími panely, kdy jedinec musel doslova splynout s daným přístrojem. Monografie je zároveň první studií, která dané téma kontextualizuje v rámci tuzemského prostředí podrobnou četbou populárně naučných časopisů.

The County Donegal Railways - Steve Flanders, E. M. Patterson, Joe Begley
This is a new edition of Dr EM Patterson''s first volume on the history of the narrow-gauge railways of North-West Ireland, originally published in 1962. The County Donegal Railways had a route of 124 miles, five termini and three junction stations. For the most part they traversed hilly and thinly-populated country and for two generations they were a busy and efficient operation. This edition adds a valuable chapter of interviews and memories of some of the surviving workers and others who had contact with the railway. It also includes a chapter on the County Donegal Railway today (as over 50 years after closure, much can still be seen of the former network), and some additional Glover drawings of locomotive, carriage and wagon stock.

North - Sean Perkins
The long-awaited monograph of the UK's leading graphic design and branding agency.The world is full of design companies, but none of them are like North. Formed in 1995 by Sean Perkins, the studio has always followed a highly individualistic path. This individualism manifests itself in many ways: most notably in the absence of a densely populated studio website; there are no hyperactive social media feeds; even the studio's name, derived from Perkins' origins in the unmetropolitan north of England, stands for frill-free, plain speaking, visual directness.

Daughters of the North - Jennifer Morag Henderson
This is the first biography of Jean Gordon, who is best known as the first wife of the notorious Earl of Bothwell. Bothwell divorced Jean in order to marry Mary, Queen of Scots, and Jean and her family were closely involved in all of the major events of Mary’s short and turbulent reign in Scotland. Jean was the youngest daughter of the powerful Earl of Huntly, the ‘King in the North’, and Daughters of the North reframes the history of Scotland during the reign of Mary, Queen of Scots by viewing events from Jean’s point of view and from the standpoint of the north of Scotland. The book reveals the intrigue at the royal court, and relates that Jean’s life was much more rich and complex than supposed. Jean married three times, and her second marriage was to the Earl of Sutherland, making her the Countess of Sutherland – the most powerful woman in the north of Scotland, negotiating between the Earls and the clans and exercising a huge influence over the area. She started a coal mine and salt pan in Brora in the 16th century, an astonishing example of early industrialisation and female agency at a time when ... Unknown localization key: "more"

North and South - Elizabeth Gaskellová
'How am I to dress up in my finery, and go off and away to smart parties, after the sorrow I have seen today?'When her father leaves the Church in a crisis of conscience, Margaret Hale is uprooted from her comfortable home in Hampshire to move with her family to the north of England. Initially repulsed by the ugliness of her new surroundings in the industrial town of Milton, Margaret becomes aware of the poverty and suffering of the local mill-workers and develops a passionate sense of social justice. This is intensified by her tempestuous relationship with the mill-owner and self-made man John Thornton, as their fierce opposition over his treatment of his employees masks a deeper attraction. In North and South, Elizabeth Gaskell skillfully fused individual feeling with social concern, and in Margaret Hale created one of the most original heroines of Victorian literature.In her introduction, Patricia Ingham examines geographical, economic and class differences, and male and female roles in North and South. This edition also includes a list for further reading, notes and a glossary.

Orwell's England - George Orwell
Including The Road to Wigan Pier''No one wrote better about the English character than Orwell'' New York Review of BooksMuch of George Orwell''s best writing, brought together in this collection, is concerned with his complex, often contradictory attitude to England. In the brilliantly perceptive The English People, he lists the national characteristics as ''suspicion of foreigners, sentimentality about animals, hypocrisy, exaggerated class distinctions and an obsession with sport''. The Road to Wigan Pier, his blistering account of poverty in the north of England, and many of his essays, attack what he called ''the most class-ridden country under the sun'', while other writings here ruminate on the merits of cricket, gardening, roast dinners, pubs, tea and seaside postcards.Edited by Peter Davison with an Introduction by Ben Pimlott

The Changing Electoral Map of England and Wales - William Dale Jennings, Jamie Furlong
The 2019 British general election saw a dramatic redrawing of the electoral map, with the Labour Party losing seats to the Conservatives in former heartlands in the North of England and Midlands. Yet this had been a long-term shift, with the opposite trend occurring in major cities and university towns, where Labour''s support has been increasing. What has driven these changes in electoral geography? Why do they matter? This book offers a definitive account of the changing electoral geography of England and Wales over the past half century. Jamie Furlong and Will Jennings argue that long-term trends in social and economic structure have significantly altered the spatial distribution of voters and, combined with changes in the parties'' appeal to those voters, have led to a gradual, though recently accelerating, realignment of the geographical basis of electoral competition. Constituency-level analysis of voting at general elections between 1979 and 2019 reveals a swing from Labour to the Conservatives in demographically ''left behind'' areas (areas with largely white, working-class populations and lower levels of educational attainment), while Labour''s support has remained stable in areas characterized by high levels of economic deprivation and insecure employment. Areas that have experienced improvements in their socioeconomic condition ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Touha a žádostivost v dějinách evropské filosofie - Martin Vrabec
Jak napovídá název této knihy, jejím cílem je podat komplexní a zároveň přehledný výklad rozmanitých způsobů, jimiž byla v dějinách evropské filosofie pojímána povaha a úloha touhy, žádostivosti a dalších obdobných typů usilování. S tímto tématem se můžeme setkat v rozličných kontextech, sahajících od antropologických, etických či politických úvah až po ontologické koncepce absolutna, a v této šíři se mu věnují i autoři jednotlivých kapitol. Předkládaný průřez se přitom snaží alespoň rámcově obsáhnout všechny základní koncepce touhy a žádostivosti objevující se v časovém období sahajícím od Platóna a Aristotela až po filosofii G. Deleuze a F. Guattariho či po současnou fenomenologii, zastoupenou úvahou R. Barbarase. Tato kniha je určena jak odborným zájemcům v oboru filosofie, tak širší veřejnosti a umožňuje hlouběji promyslet jednotlivé fasety i širší souvislosti tématu, které bývá často prezentováno zúženě a jednostranně. Spoluautoři: Petr Adámek, Renaud Barbaras, Ladislav Benyovszky, Caterina Di Fazio, Milan Hanyš, Martin Charvát, Jakub Chavalka, Lenka Karfíková, Tomáš Machula, Jakub Marek, Jaroslav Novotný, Jan Palkoska, Martin Z.
