Secret Britain - Sinclair McKay

Discover the stories of the brave men and women who worked, trained and fought across the UK, from Bletchley Park in southern England all the way to Arisaig in northern Scotland, in an unbelievable effort to defeat the Nazis and win the Second World War .From the outset of the war, most of Britain felt like a mystery even to those who lived there. All road and railway signs were removed up and down the country to thwart potential enemy spies. An invisible web of cunning spread across the United Kingdom; secret laboratories were hidden in marshes, underground bases were built to conceal key strategic plans and grand country houses became secret and silent locations for eccentric boffins to do their confidential cryptography work.In Secret Britain, Sinclair McKay maps out the UK through the hidden bases and battlegrounds of WWII. These locations are full of history and intrigue, but if you don''t know where to look, you might just miss them.

Zrození kinematografického času - Doaneová Mary Ann

Až do 19. století byl čas obvykle vnímán jako kontinuální proud, živel, jehož plynutí prakticky nedokážeme ovlivnit. Nástup kapitalistické modernity spojený s jeho racionalizací a vynález fotografie, která jej dokázala zastavit, však radikálně proměnily způsob, jakým se k času vztahujeme. Mary Ann Doaneová, profesorka Kalifornské univerzity v Berkeley a autorka průkopnických studií věnovaných problematice genderu ve filmu, v knize Zrození kinematografického času zkoumá, jak se nahodilost zmrzlého okamžiku zachyceného fotografickým aparátem vzpírá vzrůstajícím požadavkům na standardizaci a racionalizaci života v kapitalistické společnosti. Jediná fotografie však nedokáže zachytit pohyb, teprve film jako souslednost po sobě následujících snímků znovu ustavuje ireverzibilní tok času. Jaká je ale povaha času, pokud jej chápeme zároveň jako proud i jako diskontinuální, kvantovanou veličinu? A co se odehrává v prostoru mezi jednotlivými snímky? Mary Ann Doaneová nám přesvědčivým způsobem představuje klíčovou roli, kterou kinematografický čas sehrál při zrodu modernity.

Mary - Anne Eekhout

Píše se rok 1816.Mary Shelleyové je teprve osmnáct let, když se svým milovaným manželem Percym navštíví u Ženevského jezera přátele Johna Polidoriho a lorda Byrona. Večer si u krbu vyprávějí strašidelné příběhy. Střípek z minulosti Mary vrátí o několik let zpátky do Skotska, kde zažila záhadné dobrodružství. Tato vzpomínka se stane základem světoznámého příběhu o Frankensteinovi.Mary je chvalozpěvem na fantazii, je příběhem o tvoření a složitém poutu mezi představivostí a skutečností. Knihu lze číst jako bildungsroman popisujíci zrání Mary coby spisovatelky a matky, jako intimní vyprávění o truchlení po nejbližších, ale také jako staromódní duchařský příběh nebo příběh dvojího milostného trojuhelníku. Mary je zkrátka dokonale dávkovaná směs žánrů.Anne Eekhout si odvážně pohrává s žánrovými prvky, které by se u méně nadaných autorů okamžitě změnily v klišé. Díky autorčinu strhujícímu vyprávění čtenáři před očima ožívá mladičká tvůrkyně mistrovského díla o nyní již nejznámějším netvorovi všech dob.

The Arts and Crafts Movement in Britain - Mary Greensted

Mary Greensted tells the story of the birth and development of the Arts and Craft movement in Britain with the help of numerous illustrations showing the buildings, furniture, metalwork, and the people who influenced it. The movement was concerned with the revival of traditional crafts, and a return to the vernacular, and it had socialist ideals at its heart. This movement, which flourished in the early twentieth century, has not only bequeathed us with a wealth of fine objects and buildings, but also a way of thinking about life and craft that continues to influence many today.Contains information on dozens of designers, artists, architects and thinkers, including: William MorrisCFA VoyseyCharles Rennie MackintoshAH MackmurdoCR AshbeeErnest Gimson

African American Artists and the New Deal Art Programs - Mary Ann Calo

This book examines the involvement of African American artists in the New Deal art programs of the 1930s. Emphasizing broader issues informed by the uniqueness of Black experience rather than individual artists’ works, Mary Ann Calo makes the case that the revolutionary vision of these federal art projects is best understood in the context of access to opportunity, mediated by the reality of racial segregation. Focusing primarily on the Federal Art Project (FAP) of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), Calo documents African American artists’ participation in community art centers in Harlem, in St. Louis, and throughout the South. She examines the internal workings of the Harlem Artists’ Guild, the Guild’s activities during the 1930s, and its alliances with other groups, such as the Artists’ Union and the National Negro Congress. Calo also explores African American artists’ representation in the exhibitions sponsored by WPA administrators and the critical reception of their work. In doing so, she elucidates the evolving meanings of the terms race, culture, and community in the interwar era. The book concludes with an essay by Jacqueline Francis on Black artists in the early 1940s, after the end of the FAP program. Presenting essential new archival information and important ...

Spain * France: Catalunya & Barcelona - Mary-Ann Gallagher, Dana Facaros, Michael Pauls

Bradt’s newly published Catalunya & Barcelona has the most extensive coverage of any travel guidebook to the whole of this fiercely independent region (both French and Spanish sides), which is proud of its strong identity and packs a huge amount of fascination and contrast into a conveniently small area – from the Pyrenees mountains and sparkling Mediterranean coves to crisp cava and world-renowned cuisine. Although Barcelona, with its Gaudí architecture, may be the best-known destination, the rest of Catalunya generates the identity of which local residents are so proud. Although officially a semi-autonomous comunidad, Catalunya feels like a separate country – as arguably befits its history as a medieval kingdom that ruled parts of southernmost France, the Balearics and even what is now the Italian island of Sardinia. Written by long-time travel authors Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls, and Mary-Ann Gallagher, who has lived in Barcelona since the mid-2000s, Bradt’s new guidebook furnishes detailed background and practical information in eight easy-to-follow chapters, providing in-depth guides to Barcelona plus the provincial capitals of Girona, Tarragon and Lleida, alongside sections covering the Costa Brava (where charming fishing villages and isolated beaches offset mass-tourism resorts), the Pyrenees (including Andorra) and French Catalunya (including ...

They placed their own orders, exploring Grima’s drizzled gold and Flockinger’s fused metallic experimentations; John Donald’s textured gold cubes and the House of Munsteiner’s curious new gem cuts. This was an era of innovation – captured here through insights into the work of 25 major jewellers and sumptuous pictures of their work.This book introduces the most influential British designers, jewellers, goldsmiths and silversmiths of 1960-1980.

Child Migrant Voices in Modern Britain - Dr Eithne Nightingale

Almost half the people displaced worldwide are under 18, yet their voices are rarely heard. This book records the experiences of children arriving in Britain from Hitler’s Europe in the 1930s to those escaping war in Ukraine in 2022. It follows the journeys of war-traumatised children from Mogadishu to Mile End and from Syria to a Scottish isle. Some followed their parents to the ‘motherland’ from the former British Empire. Others came independently to escape forced marriage or military conscription.These powerful testimonies shed light on children’s motivations, trials and achievements, including in adult life, providing critical insight into how the British – both individually and collectively – have welcomed or shunned child migrants. Importantly, Eithne Nightingale links these stories with contemporary issues such as the Windrush Scandal and Britain’s Illegal Migration Act 2023.Situated in its historical and political context, Child Migrant Voices in Modern Britain makes vital reading for those studying modern British history, migration and human rights as well as those working with child migrants. It will also appeal to a general audience interested in inspirational life stories.For more information on the book, related events and to watch award-winning films on child migration see childmigrantstories.com.
