Edward Thomas (1878-1917) was a British poet, essayist, and novelist. He is commonly considered a war poet, although few of his poems deal directly with his war experiences, and his career in poetry only came after he had already been a successful writer and literary critic. In 1915, he enlisted in the British Army to fight in the First World War and was killed in action during the Battle of Arras in 1917, soon after he arrived in France. Nowadays there is a significant re-discovery of Thomas as a nature writer and poet. It is perhaps easy to think that Edward Thomas belonged to a long-distant past a world where footpaths go on for ever, summer days are long, hot and full of bird song; and followed by dark and starry nights. But during Thomas's life between 1878 and 1917, the traditional social life of the countryside had almost disappeared. Even where it hadn't, someone like Edward Thomas, a middle-class Londoner, would not have belonged to it. He wrote about villages, inns, wildlife

A Miscellany

Edward Thomas

Under the Big Black Sun explores the nascent Los Angeles punk rock movement and its evolution to hardcore punk as it's never been told before. John Doe of the legendary band X and co-author Tom DeSavia have woven together an enthralling story of the legendary West Coast scene from 1977-1982 by enlisting the voices of people who were there. The book shares chapter-length tales from the authors along with personal essays from famous (and infamous) players in the scene. Through interstitial commentary, John Doe "narrates" this journey through the land of film noir sunshine, Hollywood back alleys, and suburban sprawl. Illustrated with 50 rare photos, this is the story of the art that was born under the big black sun.

Sequel to Grammy-nominated bestseller Under the Big Black Sun, continuing the up-close and personal account of the L.A. punk scene, with 50 rare photos Picking up where Under the Big Black Sun left off, More Fun in the New World explores the years 1982 to 1987, covering the dizzying pinnacle of L.A.'s punk rock movement as its stars took to the national -- and often international -- stage. Detailing the eventual splintering of punk into various sub-genres, the second volume of John Doe and Tom DeSavia's west coast punk history portrays the rich cultural diversity of the movement and its characters, the legacy of the scene, how it affected other art forms, and ultimately influenced mainstream pop culture. The book also pays tribute to many of the fallen soldiers of punk rock, the pioneers who left the world much too early but whose influence hasn't faded. As with Under the Big Black Sun, the book features stories of triumph, failure, stardom, addiction, recovery, and loss as told by the people who were influential in the scene, with a cohesive narrative from authors Doe and DeSavia. Along with many returning voices, More Fun in the New World weaves in the perspectives of musicians Henry Rollins, Fishbone, Billy Zoom, Mike Ness, Jane Weidlin, Keith Morris, Dave Alvin, Louis Pérez, Charlotte Caffey, Peter Case, Chip Kinman, Maria McKee, and Jack Grisham, among others. And renowned artist/illustrator Shepard Fairey, filmmaker Allison Anders, actor Tim Robbins, and pro-skater Tony Hawk each contribute chapters on punk's indelible influence on the artistic spirit. In addition to stories of success, the book also offers a cautionary tale of an art movement that directly inspired commercially diverse acts such as Green Day, Rancid, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Wilco, and Neko Case. Readers will find themselves rooting for the purists of punk juxtaposed with the MTV-dominating rock superstars of the time who flaunted a "born to do this, it couldn't be easier" attitude that continued to fuel the flames of new music. More Fun in the New World follows the progression of the first decade of L.A. punk, its conclusion, and its cultural rebirth.

Preserving Our Democracy

Avoiding the Next Holocaust

Although it was commonly thought that Wordsworth drew his inspiration from solitude, it is now reckoned that his sister Dorothy was a major influence on his writing. The two were inseparable for a large part of William s creative years. This book provides the reader with extracts from the most important works of both William and Dorothy, and there is only one other book that has ever offered this. (Penguin 1978). One does not need to be in the Lake District to appreciate the genius of both writers, however the selection has been made with lovers of nature and in particular mountains, in mind. The book contains many of William's most well known poems such as Lines Composed,A Few Miles above Tintern Abbey, I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud, To a Skylark, and there are over 70 poems in this collection as well as a prose piece by William 'Description of the Scenery of the Lakes'. The book juxtaposes these poems with extracts from Dorothy Wordsworth's Recollections of a Tour Made in Scotland, A

To protect the confidentiality of the innocent parties and to avoid further litigation by the wrongdoers, all names used in the book are fictitious, as is the name of the government regulatory agency. This book is the account of John Doe, MBA, CPA, whistleblower, certified examiner at the Financial Regulatory Agency. Mr. Doe has risen through the ranks in a long established professional career at the Financial Regulatory Agency spanning nearly 25 years. He headed up the Large Insured Depository Institutions program for nearly a decade leading up to the banking crisis. Agency officials removed him from the role once he made repeated disclosures to the Chairman at the agency, Ombudsman, Inspector General, and others about the deficiencies discovered in the agencys bank monitoring system. Mr. Doe currently has two formal legal complaints pending with the Office of Special Counsel and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Mr. Doe reluctantly became a whistleblower at the agency once he realized the government was a partner in enabling patterns of defective loans which sparked the recession. Like other government whistleblowers, Mr. Doe was ignored and silenced at the agency until stripped of all relevant duties without explanation after warning repeatedly that a crisis of our own design would lead to the bank failures that subsequently occurred. For example, he blew the whistle on a secrecy loophole that created a knowledge gap for risks by non-bank affiliates of consolidated bank holding companies -- the only Financial Regulatory Agency oversight of overall risks at institutions like Citigroup, Bank of America, Wachovia and Washington Mutual. Had the government listened, billions of dollars could have been saved. Of course, the harm and disruptions the mortgage crisis caused homeowners may have been spared in part as well. This is the inside story.

The Unquiet

'The sight is immediately spectacular [...] The panels blaze and twinkle in a fantastic array of colours, acid pink to neon green and iridescent turquoise.' -- Laura Cumming (The Observer)To coincide with the first European solo exhibition of works by Korean artist Hyon Gyon (b. 1979), Parasol unit foundation for contemporary art has produced this extensive publication featuring full-page colour reproductions of exhibited works as well as additional artworks from her oeuvre.Known for her intricate and highly expressive works, often like mid-burst manifestations of explosive raw energy, Gyon combines traditional Korean textiles, Japanese paper and paint together with various less conventional materials to create her paintings and sculptural installations.She explores themes of socio-cultural identity, grief, anger and sexual politics. All this is inspired by Korean shamanism and its rituals.This publication includes insightful essays by Donald Kuspit; American art critic, poet, and Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Art History and Philosophy at the State University of New York at Stony Brook; Bartlomiej Dobroczynski, Associate Professor at the Institute of Psychology, Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland; and a foreword by Ziba Ardalan, Founder/Director of Parasol unit.Curated by Ziba Ardalan, the exhibition and its accompanying publication give an overview of Gyon's intricate sculptures and paintings created between Korea, Japan, New York and Poland.Published on the occasion of the exhibition Hyon Gyon at Parasol unit for contemporary art, London (23 January - 31 March 2019).

Foreword by 2017 Turner Prize winner, Lubaina Himid.This book is the latest project within the wider Practising Place programme, which explores our relationship with place through a collection of co-authored texts, visual essays, creative projects and conversations between artists and academics.Featuring new and existing artworks and covering a range of themes, including rural mythologies, urban noise, boundaries and seaside nostalgia, this highly visual book demonstrates the value of interdisciplinary discourse and presents an approach to the study of place as a creative and critical practice.Since 2013, the programme has developed relationships between artists and academics from fields such as human geography, landscape archaeology, history and sociology, with a view to generating new understandings of places through the sharing of ideas and approaches.These conversations have been made public through commissioned essays and a series of events across the north and Midlands in venues such as the Bluecoat (Liverpool), Tyneside Cinema (Newcastle), and Nottingham Contemporary.Building on these activities, the publication features creative explorations of places across the north of England - including a Cumbrian Center Parcs resort, Stanlow Oil Refinery, working-men's clubs, Manchester Central Library, and the edgelands of Preston and Sheffield - as well as more general themes such as urban planning and digital space.Practising Place has been developed by In Certain Places, an art-led research project based at the University of Central Lancashire.
