FUEL Publishing Brutal Bloc Postcards
Book SynopsisA collection of previously unpublished postcards from the former Eastern Bloc â sinister, funny, poignant and surreal, they depict the social and architectural values of the period. Brutal concrete hotels, futurist TV towers, heroic worker statues â this collection of Soviet era postcards documents the uncompromising landscape of the Eastern Bloc through its buildings and monuments. They are interspersed with quotes from prominent figures of the time, that both support and confound the ideologies presented in the images. In contrast to the photographs of a ruined and abandoned Soviet empire we are accustomed to seeing today, the scenes depicted here publicise the bright future of communism: social housing blocks, Palaces of Culture and monuments to Comradeship. Dating from the 1960s to the 1980s, they offer a nostalgic yet revealing insight into social and architectural values of the time, acting as a window through which we can examine cars, people, and of course

Caique Publishing Ltd Boughton The House its People and its Collections
Book SynopsisIn this sumptuous portrait of the house known as the English Versailles', the Duke of Buccleuch sets the scene with a history of his ancestors, the Montagus of Boughton, who acquired the manor in Northamptonshire in the reign of Henry VIII. Ralph, 1st Duke of Montagu (16381709), Charles II's envoy to Louis XIV, transformed Boughton into a palatial homage to French culture. His son John, the 2nd Duke, was noted for planting long avenues, a love of heraldry, a fondness for practical jokes and the ancient lion he nursed in one of the courtyards.The book showcases Boughton's magnificent painted ceilings, tapestries and Sèvres porcelain. The celebrated art collection also includes striking portraits of Elizabeth I, Charles II and his son the Duke of Monmouth, another Buccleuch ancestor. Van Dyck's friends and contemporaries cluster in the Drawing Room in dozen of grisailles. Most eye-catching of all is the portrait of Shakespeare's muses, the Early and Countess of Southampton.

Glenstone Foundation Charles Ray Volume III
Book SynopsisThe third installment commemorating Charles Ray''s rotating exhibitions at Glenstone The diverse sculptural practice of American sculptor Charles Ray (born 1953) has long challenged perceptions of scale, material and subject matter, necessitating multiple viewings over time.

Cambridge University Press Blood
Book SynopsisBlood is life, its complex composition is finely attuned to our vital needs and functions. Blood can also signify death, while ''bloody'' is a curse. Arising from the 2021 Darwin College Lectures, this volume invites leading thinkers on the subject to explore the many meanings of blood across a diverse range of disciplines. Through the eyes of artist Marc Quinn, the paradoxical nature of blood plays with the notion of self. Through those of geneticist Walter Bodmer, it becomes a scientific reality: bloodlines and diaspora capture our notions of community. The transfer of blood between bodies, as Rose George relates, can save lives, or as we learn from Claire Roddie can cure cancer. Tim Pedley and Stuart Egginton explore the extraordinary complexity of blood as a critical biological fluid. Sarah Read examines the intimate connection between blood and womanhood, as Carol Senf does in her consideration of Bram Stoker''s novel Dracula.Table of ContentsNotes on Contributors; Introduction Iosifina Foskolou and Martin Jones; 1.

Cambridge University Press State of the Arts
Book SynopsisThis is a bold and wide-ranging account of the unique German public theatre system through the prism of a migrant artistic institution in the western post-industrial Ruhr region. State of the Arts analyses how artistic traditions have responded to social change, racism, and cosmopolitan anxieties and recounts how critical contemporary cultural production positions itself in relation to the tumultuous history of German state patronage, difficult heritage, and self-cultivation through the arts. Jonas Tinius'' fieldwork with professional actors, directors, cultural policy makers, and activists unravels how they constitute theatre as a site for extra-ordinary ethical conduct and how they grapple with the pervasive German cultural tradition of Bildung, or self-cultivation through the arts. Tinius shows how anthropological methods provide a way to understand the entanglement of cultural policy, institution-building, and subject-formation. An ambitious and interdisciplinary study, the work demonstrates the crucial role of artistic intellectuals in society.

Cambridge University Press Cold War Asia
Book SynopsisThis innovative, interdisciplinary and international collection of essays offers fresh perspectives on the history of global diplomacy. Experts in history, international relations, art history and performance art have come together to examine a series of visual sources relating to Asia''s role in global diplomacy during the Cold War. They explore how leaders, including Indonesia''s Sukarno, the Philippines'' Imelda Marcos and Thailand''s King Bhumibol, exploited the symbolic value of diplomacy to emphasise their agency in relationships with Great Powers. These case studies demonstrate the significance of Asian diplomacy in understanding the Cold War, shifting away from the use of ''war'' as the dominant criterion for analysis of the region. Cold War Asia sheds critical light onto how culture shapes international relations, widening the lens of analysis to embed the role of gender, religion, and ethnicity, as well as the material world, into our understanding of diplomacy.

Cambridge University Press Centaurs and SnakeKings
Book SynopsisGriffins, centaurs and gorgons: the Greek imagination teems with wondrous, yet often monstrous, hybrids. Jeremy McInerney discusses how these composite creatures arise from the entanglement of humans and animals. Overlaying such enmeshment is the rich cultural exchange experienced by Greeks across the Mediterranean. Hybrids, the author reveals, capture the anxiety of cross-cultural encounter, where similarity and incongruity were conjoined. Hybridity likewise expresses instability of identity. The ancient sea, that most changeable ancient domain, was viewed as home to monsters like Skylla; while on land the centaur might be hypersexual yet also hypercivilized, like Cheiron. Medusa may be destructive, yet also alluring. Wherever conventional values or behaviours are challenged, there the hybrid gives that threat a face. This absorbing work unveils a mercurial world of shifting categories that offer an alternative to conventional certainties. Transforming disorder into images of wonder, Greek hybrids ? McInerney suggests ? finally suggest other ways of being human.

Cambridge University Press Style and Meaning in Late Antique Art
Book SynopsisHow do we best see and understand the art of late antiquity? One of the perceived challenges of so doing is that this is a period whose visual production has been defined as stylistically abstract and emotionally spiritual, and therefore elusive. But this is a perception which ? in her path-breaking new book ? Sarah Bassett boldly challenges, offering two novel lines of interpretative inquiry. She first argues, by focusing on the art of late antiquity in late nineteenth-century Viennese intellectual and artistic circles, that that period''s definition of late antique form was in fact a response to contemporaneous political concerns, anticipating modernist thinking and artistic practice. She then suggests that late antique viewers never actually abandoned a sense of those mimetic goals that characterized Greek and Roman habits of representation. This interpretative shift is transformative because it allows us to understand the full range and richness of late antique visual experience.

Cambridge University Press Recycling the Roman Villa
Book SynopsisThough abandoned between the third and seventh centuries CE, many Roman villas enjoyed an afterlife in late antiquity as a source of building materials. Villa complexes currently serve as a unique archaeological setting in that their recycling phases are often better preserved than those at urban sites. Building on a foundational knowledge of Roman architecture and construction, Beth Munro offers a retrospective study of the material value of and deconstruction processes at villas. She explores the technical properties of glass, metals, and limestone, materials that were most frequently recycled; the craftspeople who undertook this work, as well as the economic and culture drivers of recycling. She also examines the commissioning landowners and their rural networks, especially as they relate to church construction. Bringing a multidisciplinary lens to recycling practices in antiquity, Munro proposes new theoretical and methodological approaches for assessing architectural salvage and reprocessing within the context of an ancient circular economy.

Cambridge University Press The Art of Queenship in the Hellenistic World
Book SynopsisIn The Art of Queenship in the Hellenistic World, Patricia Eunji Kim examines the visual and material cultures of Hellenistic queens, the royal and dynastic women who served as subjects and patrons of art. Exploring evidence in the interconnected eastern Mediterranean and western Asia from the fourth to second centuries BCE, Kim argues that the arts of queenship were central to expressions of dynastic (and sometimes even imperial) consolidation, continuity, and legitimacy. From gems, coins, and vessels to monuments and sculpture, the visual and material cultures of queenship appeared in a range of sacred settings, public spaces, royal courts, and domestic domains. Encompassing several dynasties, including the Hecatomnids, Argeads, Ptolemies, Seleucids, and Attalids, Kim inaugurates new methods for comparing and interpreting visual articulations of queenship and ideal femininity from distinct yet culturally entangled contexts, thus illuminating the ways that women had an impact art and politics in the ancient world.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Physical and Virtual Space of the Consulting
Book SynopsisIn this thought-provoking book, Deborah Wright examines the role of both space and objects as they become manifest in the psychoanalytic process and looks at how the role of the consulting room in the therapeutic process is both primitive and transferential. Wright explores spatialisation as simultaneously being a psychological projection of meaning and as physically acting upon the environment, utilised to master the undifferentiated, relentless, internal pressure of instinct. Throughout The Physical and Virtual Space of the Consulting Room, she considers the spatial aspects of work with patients by foregrounding the importance of the consulting room and its contents, including the impact of changes of consulting room, travelling, and in working virtually. Illustrated with clinical material and hand-drawn artwork, Wright orients the reader in the new territory by going beyond the existing literature that considers the objects and space of the consulting room solely asTrade Review'Dr Wright has written a remarkable book. She shows that spatial organization is fundamental to structuring experience: outside and inside the consulting room, outside and inside the transference. She bases her profound theory on diverse sources, including Freud’s many drawings, and extensive clinical experience. Her ideas on spatialization will generate new areas of investigation and practice and will evoke a eureka recognition of the unconscious ordering of everyday life.'Karl Figlio, Clinical Associate, British Psychoanalytical Society; Professor Emeritus, University of Essex, UK'Deborah Wright shows us an interesting and somewhat hidden tradition from Freud onwards. The consulting room and indeed all living spaces are given individual meanings by each of us, depending on our individual and cultural experiences. Our Unconscious ‘space’ offers a necessary dimension in addition to the transference to the person of the therapist who inhabits the space. The author provides clinical evidence, as well as cultural, to show how it can be exposed and used.'Dr. R.D. Hinshelwood, Psychoanalyst, and Professor Emeritus, University of Essex, UK'It is a truth universally acknowledged in psychoanalytic/psychodynamic discourse that the consulting room or 'setting', in which clinical work takes place, is of particular importance. Why that should be, beyond what seems 'obvious', however is under-theorised in the literature. Dr Wright rectifies this in her scholarly and accessible book in which she presents clinical observation which advances current theory and practice. She formulates a clear language and terminology to articulate her theory of spatial dynamics, and her own uncanny illustrations add depth to her discourse. The book is a delight to read and essential for teaching and training purposes.'Meg Errington, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist; British Psychoanalytic Council, UK"This book is ground-breaking and contains an abundance of ideas to seed thinking. What Wright so generously offers here, others will no doubt build upon in their own imaginations, theorizing and clinical practices. It earns a place on our bookshelves." - Catriona Wrottesley, Society of Analytical Psychology and Tavistock RelationshipsTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Field Sketching for Environmental Designers
Book SynopsisThis graphic sketchbook is a primer for sparking imagination and creativity in landscape architecture and urban design drawing. Field Sketching for Environmental Designers is an ideal guide and companion for both beginning and advanced drawing enthusiasts. The text is profusely illustrated and loaded with fun and enlightening examples of work from a plethora of experienced artists, designers, planners and naturalists from around the world. Each chapter provides easy-to-follow instructions on a wide variety of techniques for field sketching and plein-air painting. The exercises are designed to help readers progressively build a set of skills that will help them construct meaning and gain knowledge from on-site, field observation.Trade Review“Using a plethora of historical and contemporary examples Chip Sullivan shows us how to carefully look at the world in which we live, while making relevant a seemingly archaic medium like watercolor. As a “why to” as well as a “how to” book, Field Sketching for Environmental Designers challenges the current supremacy of digital imagery by showing how much is lost when the human hand has been removed. And not only that: it’s also fun to look at and read.”Marc Treib, Professor of Architecture Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley, and editor of Drawing/Thinking: Confronting and Electronic Age and Representing Landscape Architecture.“This book should be on your favorites shelf. Landscape Architecture is a visual language. How do we learn to illustrate our ideas? The beauty in this book is the simplicity of its visual language and yet it is packed with “how to” knowledge. Chip once again builds a crescendo from the basic plan to elaborate pictorials. This is book useful for students and professionals for their entire career.”Tricia Keffer, Sunday Coffee Podcast“This visually inspiring publication offers a fascinating overview of various drawing techniques, methods, styles and visual communication strategies that is a ‘must-have’ for landscape architectural students and professionals. It captures various types of landscapes from the rural to the cityscape, and design layouts from the formal to the informal, using drawing to explain the spaces and scales, and capturing the audience’s attention.”Nadia Amoroso, Associate Professor in Landscape Architecture, University of Guelph, author and editor of the Representing Landscapes series“Chip's field sketching was one of many discoveries, filled with historical, technical, interpretive and aartistic learning from the experience and the observation. I particularly enjoyed the San Francisco sketch crawl ending in Levi's Plaza that showed a wide array of design language and materials, and users, each reflecting the era of its creation and its evolution. Sketching to capture such dynamic qualities was such a challenge and a valuable learning experience of its own!”Yumiko Nakano“Chip's field sketching classes have been absolutely invaluable in my personal artistic journey within the environmental design field. I've always felt that part of his rare brand of genius is how easily he's able to see the genius in everyone and everything else around him. Not only will he help you to develop in your own style, he will also help you to see more dimension in the landscape and in yourself as a designer/artist than you ever could have imagined!”Victoria King“Starting out as someone who felt very insecure in my ability to hand-draw and worried that there would be nothing positive to say about the drawings I could produce, it felt like magic how quickly my field sketching sessions with Chip fast-tracked me to the point where I could impress myself with my own drawings and see noticeable improvement from week to week. With Chip's unwavering support of everyone's individual style, I'm no longer afraid that my own artistic expression of the landscape is 'wrong,' simply because it may appear differently than others.”Victoria King"Chip's field sketching sessions helped me regain confidence in my ability to draw. His positivity, encouragement, and whimsy helped me return to the joy of putting pen to paper as a way of processing the world around me. As I progress in my career, I hold Chip's voice in my head to keep me positive during moments of self-doubt in the design process."Caroline Lindquest“This is a great tool for communication. The ability to promptly draw in the field is highly coveted as you analyze and use different parts of your brain when drawing. “Maria Lopez Vazquez"Anyone can master the art of sketching, and there's no better way to learn than by simply being out in the world. Strengthening the hand-eye connection and allowing yourself to quickly capture forms and gestures allows you to understand the world in different ways.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Thinking Through TwentiethCentury Architecture
Book Synopsis***Shortlisted for theArchitectural Book Awards 2024***Thinking Through Twentieth-Century Architecture connects the practice of architecture with its recent history and its theoretical origins those philosophical ideas that lay behind modernism and its aftermath. By analyzing in straightforward and jargon-free language the genesis of modernism and the complex reactions to it, the book clarifies a continuing debate. It has been specifically written to connect issues of theory, history and contemporary practice and to allow students to make these connections easily.This is a history of twentieth-century architecture, written with close critical attention to the theories that lie behind the works described. Importantly, unlike other historical accounts, it does not take sides and urge the reader to identify with one strand of thinking or style of architecture at the expense of others, but it presents a dispassionate view, with persuasive argumenTrade Review"This book is welcome for treating theory and practice together, as the architects of the period did, giving students tackling current concerns a coherent account of the built legacy of twentieth-century architecture and ‘where it all came from’."Harry Charrington, Head of School of Architecture and Cities, University of Westminster"This book is the fruit of a lifetime’s consistent engagement with modern architecture’s moral and aesthetic aims. Nicholas Ray writes with a lucidity and a seriousness of purpose that are much needed amidst the cultural confusion of today."Andrew Saint, author, formerly editor of the Survey of London and historian at Historic England"This book will be welcomed by practicing architects because it stimulates us to look beyond the usual day-to-day preoccupations – describing a philosophical dimension which Ray argues has always accompanied ‘thoughtful buildings’ and which must surely be central in determining our profession’s priorities in the face of unprecedented existential challenges."Ben Zucchi, Principal & Chair of Architecture Profession, BDP"Why were early modern architects so hell-bent on their agenda? Why were reactions to it so passionately debated? What’s with all the manifestos? Why did it all matter so much? Understanding the to-and-fro of twentieth-century modernism is indispensable for anyone wanting to understand architecture today, but navigating its waters requires a gentle, patient and plain-spoken guide. Fortunately, we have Nick Ray for this. A keen observer, a sometime participant and experienced teacher, Ray is the ideal guide for explaining not only the ‘what happened?’ of modern architecture, but more importantly, the ‘why?’ of a movement that ultimately conquered the world."Tom Spector, Oklahoma University, General Editor Journal of the International Society for the Philosophy of Architecture“Weaving between architectural practice and theory, this books explores design through the convictions of their creators….An outline of each architect is provided with a summary of key designs and theories. The book will therefore serve as a useful resource for a wide market, including students…..and if the philosophical approach deters casual audiences, illustrations on almost every page will help.”Alborz Dianat, C20 Magazine"Ray combines short biographies, project descriptions, historical contexts, and a panoply of secondary literature to present readers with the fundamentals of numerous architects’ works, their design principles, the larger architectural culture of their time, and the present relevance of their ideas. An abundance of representative images illustrates each step of the narrative like visual footnotes […] it fulfils its purpose by retelling a familiar story in an abridged and accessible yet intricate and informative way."André Patrão, Drawing MatterTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sustainable Business
Book SynopsisSustainable Business: Key Issues is the first comprehensive introductory-level textbook to address the interface between environmental challenges and business solutions to provide an overview of the basic concepts of sustainability, sustainable business, and business ethics. Fully updated for the third edition to take into account recent developments and trends, such as the climate emergency, COVID-19, and supply chain sustainability, this textbook introduces students to the background and key issues of sustainability and suggests ways in which these concepts can be applied in business practice. Though the book takes a business perspective, it is interdisciplinary in its nature and draws on knowledge from socio-economic, political, and environmental studies, thereby providing a critical understanding of sustainability in the changing paradigm of global business. It goes beyond the conventional theories of sustainability and addresses critical issues concerned Trade Review"Sustainable Business: Key Issues is a solid introductory volume that allows students not only to get familiar with the issues of (un)sustainability in corporate contexts, but learn to recognize global obstacles to sustainability, as well as equip students to find viable solutions from the business perspective. The importance of Cradle to Cradle and circular economy framework is outlined as particularly relevant to strategic management of sustainability."Frans Meijers, Professor Emeritus, The Hague University of Applied Sciences, The Netherlands"This book represents a welcome addition to the burgeoning literature on sustainability and business by offering a refreshingly different perspective from many mainline works in the field. The authors couple an insightful critique of current conventional viewpoints on sustainability with a conceptual menu of reasoned alternatives to move our global economic system closer to true sustainability."Peter N. Nemetz, Professor Emeritus, Strategy and Business Economics, Sauder School of Business, University of BC, Canada"This book cuts through much of the waffle and jargon about both ‘sustainability’ and ‘business’. Unlike many other books in this area, it does not dodge difficult issues such as overpopulation, overconsumption and ethics. It is not in denial of either humanity’s grave predicament, or of the solutions urgently needed – which exist and need to be acted on at all levels in society. I strongly recommend this book in its approach to discussing what business practices can be truly sustainable."Haydn Washington, author of Demystifying Sustainability, and Fellow at the Institute of Environmental Studies at the University of New South Wales, Australia"Sustainable Business: Key Issues is a clear, balanced and important introduction to a subject that needs everyone’s close attention. The authors have done an excellent job in showing how businesses and business schools can help create a fairer and more sustainable world."Nicholas Theodorakopoulos, Professor of Entrepreneurship Development, Head of Department, Work and Organisational Psychology, Director, Aston Centre for People and Organisations, UK"Sustainable Business: Key Issues provides a valuable introductory text into the (un)sustainability issues and challenges facing current business practice. It provides an accessible yet informative insight into both organisational and systemic issues that businesses face and goes so far as to suggest some potential solutions. It should prove of interest to both students and business practitioners."Stuart Cooper, Professor of Accounting and Head of the Department of Accounting and Finance, University of Bristol, UK"The book is an accessible text that addresses the most critical challenges of our time which are now framed by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The book tackles a range of subjects and issues using an interdisciplinary approach to provide an understanding of what sustainable business really means for both students (of all disciplines) and business professionals, as well as outlining practical strategies to inspire action."Carole Parkes, Professor of Responsible Management, University of Winchester Business School, UK"This book is a must-read for everyone who is driven to contribute to a better sustainable future. The authors shed light on some profound challenges taking place around the world and breakthrough innovations in sustainable business models. It is definitely an eye-opener."Dianne Potters, Founder of 21Sustainable, The Netherlands"This book is bound to stimulate the reader’s interest in the complex relationship between business and sustainability. With its comprehensive approach, covering a broad range and variety of issues, a critical discussion of traditional approaches and an offer of alternative views, it is certain not only to increase the reader’s awareness of the business role in sustainability but also to engage them in thinking about effective solutions for sustainable business practices."Damir Urem, The Hague University of Applied Sciences, The NetherlandsTable of ContentsTable of ContentsList of FiguresList of TablesList of BoxesForeword to new editionAcknowledgementsList of abbreviationsSECTION I.
