Book excerpt: Around twenty years ago I stumbled upon a semi-hidden world which only truly came alive well after midnight and which existed in the heart of London, in red light-drenched basements behind unmarked Soho doors.It was a place and time inhabited by characters who could have tumbled from films of their own making, a sideways glance at a reimagined indefinable past; a world of modern day spivs, foot-high quiffs, lizard skin-lined cars, tooting saxophones, unlicensed speakeasies and sharp suits.More than a decade later I began to revisit my old haunts and companions.Afterhours Sleaze and Dignity was the result, a tribute to a world where I spent some of my youth and a visualisation of the imaginary film it inspired and which has played behind my eyes ever since - an expression of my own particular Soho of the mind.

Download or read book London Caffs written by Edwin Heathcote and published by Academy Press. This book was released on 2004-11-12 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: London's caffs occur like shots of urban deja vu surviving in the city's most unexpected corners. A fading Formica and tile-covered world of cheap, basic food, thumbed tabloids, frothy coffee machines, and a rooted, genuinely local culture. It is a world holding out against the corporate uniformity engulfing the city's streets and a realm which blends modernist aesthetics with a typically British utility functionalism. The gleaming chrome of the spluttering coffee machines are London's equivalents of the steaming vents which punctuate New York's streets, like geysers spewing up essence of coffee from beneath the labyrinthine city, essential outlets from the pressure of the city. They are sets for an eccentric mix of buzz, bonhomie and the forlorn existential angst of the half-empty urban interior and an unmissable part of London cityscape.

Book excerpt: - A highly coveted classic - Written by Frank Norman and abundantly illustrated with Jeffrey Bernard's photos - Candid shots of Soho legends like Muriel Belcher, Gaston Berlemont, Madame Floris and more - Embellished with an introduction by Barry Miles, and Jeffrey Bernard's moving obituary for Frank Norman - An authentic and very personal portrait of Soho in the 1960s "My London is Soho" - Frank Norman For as long as anyone can remember, Soho has been the fluttering heart of London. Its storied pubs, shops, trattorias, gambling dens and nightclubs are every bit as alive as the millions of tourists, locals and crosstown visitors who crowd the streets all year round. People from all walks of life are made and unmade in Soho, and few knew it better than Frank Norman and Jeffrey Bernard. Writers and raconteurs, the pair haunted Soho's establishments for much of their lives. While Bernard was renowned for his Low Life column in the Spectator, these pages collect his photos of the Soho he loved, with insightful commentary from Norman, an acclaimed novelist in his own right. Soho Night & Day is an authentic and very personal portrait of a special time and place, telling the tale of Soho in the '60s. This new edition is embellished with an introduction by Barry Miles, as well as Jeffrey Bernard's moving obituary for Frank Norman.

Book Synopsis Past Imperfect by : Deborah Turbeville
Download or read book Past Imperfect written by Deborah Turbeville and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Past Imperfect encompasses Deborah Turbevilles ground breaking imagery created between 1974 and 1998. This is the work that the photographer herself puts in italics the narrative work which stands at the very center of her oeuvre. The photographs themselves, with their tension and sense of hidden melodrama, weave together the disparate novellas running through the book. Many of the images, often iconic, are recycled from the unlikely medium of fashion photography, both published and un-published. Some fifteen vignettes capture her unique sensibility and elegant aesthetic. Each vignette is a series of stills, reminding one of films they missed but would have liked to have seen (to quote one critic). It is an unorthodox vision, at once haunting and memorable. The characters (mostly women) interact with their strange, elusive environments as anachronisms; misplaced, out of sync with their time and context. A group of Turbevilles favorite actresses and models (mostly unknown) act as a repertoire cast who interpret these endangered species. Mutations in a mannequin workshop, statues in a Paris art school, automatons in a derelict factory. They reveal inner thoughts, emotions, and a sense of unease. There is a sense of fragmented dreams, dislocation, hallucination, a time without boundaries ongoing the past imperfect.

It explores the use of prototype road maps to identify corruption vulnerabilities, suggests corresponding 'warning signals,' and proposes operationally useful remedial measures in each of several selected sectors and for a selected sampleof cross cutting public sector functions that are particularlyprone to corruption and that are critical to sector performance.Numerous technical experts have come together in this effort to develop an operationally useful approach to diagnosing and tackling corruption. 'The Many Faces of Corruption' is an invaluable reference for policymakers, practitioners, andresearchers engaged in the business of development.
