Taylor & Francis Property Power and the Growth of Towns
Book SynopsisLocal enterprise, institutional quality and strategic location were of central importance in the growth of medieval towns. This book, comprising a study of 112 English towns, emphasises these key factors. Downstream locations on major rivers attracted international trade, and thereby stimulated the local processing of imports and exports, while the early establishment of richly endowed religious institutions funnelled agricultural rental income into a town, where it was spent on luxury goods produced by local craftsmen and artisans, and on expensive, long-running building schemes. Local entrepreneurs who recognised the economic potential of a town developed residential suburbs which attracted wealthy residents. Meanwhile town authorities invested in the building and maintenance of bridges, gates, walls and ditches, often with financial support from wealthy residents. Royal lordship was also an advantage to a town, as it gave the town authorities direct access to the king and bypassed local power-brokers such as bishops and earls. The legacy of medieval investment remains visible today in the streets of important towns. Drawing on rentals, deeds and surveys, this book also examines in detail the topography of seven key medieval towns: Bristol, Gloucester, Coventry, Cambridge, Birmingham, Shrewsbury and Hull. In each case, surviving records identify the location and value of urban properties, and their owners and tenants. Using statistical techniques, previously applied only to the early modern and modern periods, the book analyses the impact of location and type of property on property values. It shows that features of the modern property market, including spatial autocorrelation, were present in the middle ages. Property hot-spots of high rents are also identified; the most valuable properties were those situated between the market and other focal points such transport hubs and religious centres, convenient for both, but remote from noise and pollution.This book takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on expertise from the disciplines of economics and history. It will be of interest to historians and to social scientists looking for a long-run perspective on urban development.

Book SynopsisDigital Intermediation offers a new framework for understanding content creation and distribution across automated media platforms a new mediatisation process. This book draws on empirical and theoretical research to carefully identify and describe a number of unseen digital infrastructures that contribute to a predictive media production process through technologies, institutions and automation. Field data is drawn from several international sites, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, London, Amsterdam, Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Sydney and Cartagena. By highlighting an increasingly automated content production and distribution process, this book responds to a number of regulatory debates on the societal impact of social media platforms. It highlights emerging areas of key importance that shape the production and distribution of social media content, including micro-platformisation and digital first personalities. This book explains how technologies, instiTrade Review‘Digital Intermediation is insightful, demonstrates incredible command of the literature in complementary fields combined with deep understanding through personal experience and ethnographic research, brought in a very accessible fashion, making the book suitable for academics from a range of disciplines as well as for interested audiences beyond academia. With references to Australia and the EU and a case study of Vietnam, the book goes beyond the typical references to the US, helping to evaluate the global impact while paying attention to regional and national specifics of the phenomenon of digital intermediaries and its many aspects.’Hilde Van den Bulck, Professor and Head of Department of Communication, Drexel University, USA.'Do you know what these are? A digital first personality? Micro-platformisation? A digital intermediary? An automated recommender system? Digital experience design? A predictive media environment? Algorithmic media? In this unique and timely book, Jonathon Hutchinson guides us through these unseen components of digital content production, to map the hidden infrastructure of digital intermediation. Now that everyone is a cultural producer, it’s no good complaining: what you do trains the system, even as the system trains you. The best way to achieve transparency is to understand how it works, whether you’re a user, student, creative, or public policymaker.'John Hartley, Professor in Digital Media and Culture, University of Sydney, Australia.Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Introduction to Medieval Europe 3001500
Book SynopsisThis book provides a survey of this complex period of European history, covering themes such as the impact of Christianisation, the formation of nations and states, the emergence of an expansionist commercial economy, the Crusades and the intellectual and cultural life of the Middle Ages.Trade ReviewPraise for previous editions'Instructors seeking an alternative to the standard political and institutional narrative found in most medieval history texts will find the new edition of Blockmans and Hoppenbrouwers to be a superb choice. With its focus on social groups and cultural movements, the text is also written in a fluid style that will engage students. I look forward to using it in my next medieval history survey.'Edward Tabri, University of Texas at Tyler, USA'Introduction to Medieval Europe provides an excellent overview into the fascinating world of the Middle Ages. It covers issues such as mentalities of men and women as well as giving an insight into the world of medieval politics. Included is a thought-provoking chapter on continuities which provides a new framework for the understanding of a world distant to us both in time and place.'Thomas Småberg, Malmö University, Sweden'This is an extraordinarily wide-ranging introduction, covering Europe in its broadest sense from the British Isles to Turkey. It not only explains the political, intellectual and religious developments that occurred between the late Roman period and the Reformation but it also gives an insight into what life must have been like for most people. An essential first port of call for anyone wishing to understand the Middle Ages.'Jonathan Harris, Royal Holloway University, UK'The particular strength of this new edition of Introduction to Medieval Europe 300–1550 is the authors’ ability to trace the development and transformation over time of large scale social, economic, and religious structures and mentalities. How did pagans become Christians? How did slaves and peasants become serfs? How did armed horsemen become knights? Few if any other textbooks at this level can offer students such a sure guide along the path to understanding how the outlines of medieval society took shape.'Sean Field, University of Vermont, USA'This commendably clear and concise overview of the medieval period should be essential reading for all stu-dents coming to the subject for the first time. The coverage of social, economic and intellectual themes is particularly strong. Readers will appreciate the profusion of maps, diagrams and other illustrations which buttress the text.'Simon Barton, University of Exeter, UK'In their new edition on the Middle Ages, Blockmans and Hoppenbrouwers offer a rich, accessible, and valuable resource for students and lecturers of medieval history alike. With its expanded list of tables, figures, illustrations, color maps, primary source boxes, and annotated bibliographies, this revised text is a must-have for anyone interested in the formation of pre-modern Europe. Through a careful re-organization of materials and an extended treatment of the period along sensible thematic and chronological lines, this work will continue to reign among the leading introductory surveys on the medieval world.'Kriston Rennie, University of Queensland, Australia'In the crowded field of historical surveys of medieval Europe, Blockmans and Hoppenbrouwers have managed to produce something distinctive and original. Their book gives a clear, well-written overview of the political, social, economic and artistic developments in these important centuries with helpful explanations of technical terms and good suggested further reading. Eastern Europe is given full weight and thoughtful illustrations give valuable insights into a culture more visual than literate. But more than this the authors demon-strate why medieval Europeans deserve to be studied, their influence on later times and different places, how many of our own preoccupations derive from theirs. Blockmans and Hoppenbrouwers make the European Middle Ages not just fascinating, but relevant as well.'Andrew Roach, University of Glasgow, UK'This is a work that helps its reader to grasp the defining contours of medieval history, without being subjected to a whirlwind of narrative detail. It is refreshing in its pan-European scope, bringing Lithuania to stand along-side France, and in its effective location of key issues in broader frameworks of change and continuity. Most of all, it treats the alterity of the Middle Ages on its own terms – and explains just what it is that makes under-standing that fundamentally different world quite so interesting and worthwhile.'Stephen Mossman, University of Manchester, UK'Blockmans and Hoppenbrouwers' Introduction to Medieval Europe has established itself as the classic survey in English on the Latin West in the Middle Ages. The second edition is even more commendable: the book’s unique European perspective has been improved by situating the Latin West within neighbouring cultures and suggesting new ways of integrating European historiography. This is an indispensable starting point for students, scholars and, indeed, for any audience that wishes to familiarise itself with the essential European dimension of the history of the Latin West between 300 and 1500.'Martial Staub, University of Sheffield, UKTable of ContentsIntroduction Part 1 The early Middle Ages, 300–1000 1.

Book SynopsisThe Sustainable Museum is the first book to outline a coherent strategy for the direction of museums, as it relates to sustainability in the museum and heritage sector.Arguing that museums must place sustainability at the centre of all their activities, if they are to become key actors with a clear societal role, Garthe considers the issues that museums will likely face as they take on their new roles. Presenting case studies from a wide range of museums around the world, the book considers different ways of implementing sustainability in different types and sizes of institutions. Whilst the book clearly outlines the need for change, it also provides guidance about how to change. Garthe does this by considering specific concepts and approaches to sustainability in relation to the different aspects of museum operations. The book includes a hands-on manual for implementing sustainability management in a museum, whilst also considering the challenges practitioners will Table of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction: Sustainability in museums as a search and learning process; PART I: MUSEUMS AND SUSTAINABILITY: Chapter 2: The museum sector in transition; Chapter 3: The vision: the sustainable museum; Chapter 4: Three levers for the Transformation; PART II: SUSTAINABLE MUSEUM MANAGEMENT: Chapter 5: Transformational leadership and museum governance; Chapter 6: Sustainable management and eco-efficient museum operations; Chapter 7: Realigning collections and sustainable conservation; Chapter 8: Transdisciplinary research and sustainability science in museums; Chapter 9: Collaborative curation and sustainable exhibitions; Chapter 10: Sustainable education and participation in museums; PART III: PUTTING SUSTAINABILITY INTO PRACTICE; Chapter 11: Sustainability in museums as a process of change; Chapter 12: Sustainability strategy, targets and indicators in museums; Chapter 13: Implementation and sustainability reporting in museums; Index.

Taylor & Francis Performing the Cold War in the Postcolonial World
Book SynopsisThis volume explores how the Cultural Cold War played out in Africa and Asia in the context of decolonization. Both the United States and the Soviet Union as well as East European states undertook significant efforts to influence cultural life in the newly independent, postcolonial world.The different forms of influence are the subject of this book. The contributions are grouped around four topic headings. Networks and Institutions looks at the various ways Western-style theatre became institutionalized in the decolonial world, especially Africa. Cultural Diplomacy focuses on the activities of the Soviet Union in India in the late 1950s and 1960s in the very different arenas of book publishing and the circus. Artists and Agency explores how West African filmmakers (Ousmane SembÃne and Abderrahmane Sissako) and European authors (Brecht and Ibsen) were harnessed for different kinds of Cold War strategies. Finally, Cultures of Things investigates how everyday objects such as books and iconic theatre buildings became suffused with affect, nostalgia, and ideology.This book will be of interest for students of the Cold War, postcolonial studies, theatre, film, and literature.Chapters 1, 4, 8, and 11 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.Funded by the European Research Council Project Developing Theatre.

Taylor & Francis Ltd All the Queens Jewels 14451548
Book SynopsisFrom Margaret of Anjou to Katherine Parr, All the Queen's Jewels examines the jewellery collections of the ten queen consorts of England between 14451548 and investigates the collections of jewels a queen had access to, as well as the varying contexts in which queens used and wore jewels.The jewellery worn by queens reflected both their gender and their status as the first lady of the realm. Jewels were more than decorative adornments; they were an explicit display of wealth, majesty and authority. They were often given to queens by those who wished to seek her favour or influence and were also associated with key moments in their lifecycle. These included courtship and marriage, successfully negotiating childbirth (and thus providing dynastic continuity), and their elevation to queenly status or coronation. This book explores the way that queens acquired jewels, whether via their predecessor, their own commission or through gift giving. It underscores thTrade Review‘This study offers a fresh interpretation of queenship and the ways in which queens wielded power in late Medieval and early modern society. Jewellery is often dismissed as a trivial topic when in fact it is at the heart of politics. Tallis remarkably reveals its true importance in defining and challenging power--especially when it came to queens. Thoroughly researched and with an accessible prose, this book is undeniably a significant contribution to the field and is going to be a great resource for students, scholars, and members of the public alike who have an interest in queens and power.’Estelle Paranque, New College of the Humanities, UK‘This exciting new work is an excellent example of innovative new work in queenship studies, tracing the evolution of the queen’s jewel collection during a particularly turbulent period from the Wars of the Roses to the last of Henry VIII’s six wives. This engaging read demonstrates the importance of the queen’s jewels in underpinning her role by projecting majesty as well as enhancing her networks through gift exchange.’Elena Woodacre, University of Winchester, UK‘This study of the jewel collections of the queens consort of England between 1445 and 1548 offers a fluent, engaging, and very informative account of an important aspect of female royalty. Nicola Tallis’s book contributes original research to a generation of scholarship into the material history of late-medieval European queenship, drawing on evidence from inventories, wills, portraiture, commissions to artisans, and correspondence. The book presents a comprehensive account of the production, acquisition and care of the queens’ jewels and their use as personal adornment and gifts in a wide range of contexts. It ably demonstrates how the deployment of the queens’ jewels was an integral part of the magnificence of Plantagenet and Tudor monarchy.’Glenn Richardson, St Mary's University, UK"Nicola Tallis has justifiably established herself as an expert not just on the English queens’ jewellery collection but how these pieces advertised power, augmented influence, and shaped reputations in the early modern era. An important, groundbreaking, and fascinating book." Gareth Russell, Historian and Broadcaster.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1. An Introduction to Jewellery and the Queenly Use of Jewels 2.

Taylor & Francis Contemporary World History Since 1945
Book SynopsisThis book introduces readers to the historical roots of the key events, issues, and themes in the post-World War II period since 1945.Organized by region âEurope, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin Americaâ it uses case studies to emphasize common themes and patterns. The book argues that the colonial period largely shaped the primary global relationships that still hold in the world today. During and after de-colonization, the Cold War emerged as the dominant global paradigm, but following the collapse of communism, a neo-liberal capitalist agenda prevailed in much of the world, although that has in turn shifted due to the global financial crisis of the late 2000s/early 2010s. The book explores these themes as well as terrorism and the environmental degradation of the planet which are major features of the post-Cold War world, along with racial/ethnic/religious diversity and conflict, democracy, human rights, nationalism, and gender relations.This volume is an essential resource for students of Contemporary World History, the World Since 1945, and the World in the Twentieth Century more broadly.

Taylor & Francis Environmental Justice in North America
Book SynopsisEmphasizing the voices of activists, this bookâs diverse contributors examine communitiesâ common experiences with environmental injustice, how they organize to address it, and the ways in which their campaigns intersect with related movements such as Black Lives Matter and Indigenous sovereignty.The global COVID-19 pandemic exposed the ways in which BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) communities and white working-class communities have suffered disproportionately from the crisis due to sustained exposure to toxic land, air, and water, creating a new urgency for addressing underlying conditions of systemic racism and poverty in North America. In addition to exploring the historical roots of the Environmental Justice movement in the 1980s and 1990s, the volume offers coverage of recent events such as the DAPL pipeline controversy, the Flint water crisis, and the rise of climate justice.
