Book Synopsis A New Kind of Bleak: Journeys Through Urban Britain by : Owen Hatherley
Download or read book A New Kind of Bleak: Journeys Through Urban Britain written by Owen Hatherley and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2012-07-31 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An anatomy of failed-state Britain, by the author of A Guide to the New Ruins of Great Britain. In A Guide to the New Ruins of Great Britain, Owen Hatherley skewered New Labour’s architectural legacy in all its witless swagger. Now, in the year of the Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics, he sets out to describe what the Coalition’s altogether different approach to economic mismanagement and civic irresponsibility is doing to the places where the British live. In a journey that begins and ends in the capital, Hatherley takes us from Plymouth and Brighton to Belfast and Aberdeen, by way of the eerie urbanism of the Welsh valleys and the much-mocked splendour of modernist Coventry. Everywhere outside the unreal Southeast, the building has stopped in towns and cities, which languish as they wait for the next bout of self-defeating austerity. Hatherley writes with unrivalled aggression about the disarray of modern Britain, and yet this remains a book about possibilities remembered, about unlikely successes in the midst of seemingly inexorable failure. For as well as trash, ancient and modern, Hatherley finds signs of the hopeful country Britain once was and hints of what it might become.
Book Synopsis Land, Power and Prestige by : David Thomas Yates
Download or read book Land, Power and Prestige written by David Thomas Yates and published by Oxbow Books Limited. This book was released on 2007 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major phase of economic expansion occurred in southern England during the second and early first millennium BC, accompanied by a fundamental shift in regional power and wealth towards the eastern lowlands. This book offers a synthesis of available data on Bronze Age lowland field systems in England, including a gazetteer of sites. The research demonstrates the importance of large-scale animal husbandry in the mixed farming regimes as evidenced in the design of the field systems which incorporate droveways, stock proof fencing, watering holes, cow pens, sheep races and gateways for stockhandling. It is argued that the field systems represented a form of conspicuous production, an "intensification" of agrarian endeavour or a statement of intent, to be understood in relation to the maintenance, display and promotion of hierarchical social systems involved in exchange with their counterparts across the English Channel.

Book Synopsis Ships of the Port of London by : Peter Richard Valentine Marsden
Download or read book Ships of the Port of London written by Peter Richard Valentine Marsden and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the first full study of the remains of ships and boats used in the port of London from the first to the eleventh century AD. Using evidence from the vessels, from the waterfronts, and from trade goods, Peter Marsden has reconstructed the design and use of these ancient ships, and brought together for the first time the accumulated evidence of over 30 years of archaeological research.The remains of three substantial vessels are discussed: Blackfriars ship 1, the earliest-known seagoing sailing ship yet found in northern Europe, the New Guy's House boat, a river barge from the second century, and the County Hall ship, discovered in 1910 and dating from the fourth century. Using these and fragments of different types of clinker-built vessels found in the Thames the author examines the pattern of shipbuilding in northern Europe, with the conclusion that London was the meeting point for several shipbuilding traditions, of which the primary 'Roman' tradition in northern Europe was Celtic.The growth of trade, from Roman times to the fifth and sixth centuries when London was deserted, and from its renewal in the seventh century to the end of the eleventh century, is examined through the evidence of the remains of imported goods, together with the changing function of the port and the development of berthing practices.

Book Synopsis Destination London by : Andrew Smith
Download or read book Destination London written by Andrew Smith and published by University of Westminster Press. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: London is one of the world’s most popular destinations and visitors contribute approximately £14.9 billion of expenditure to the city every year. Its tourism and events sectors are growing and over the last few years London has received more visitors than ever before. However, detailed accounts of the city’s visitor economy are conspicuously absent. This book analyses how the capital is developing as a destination through the expansion of tourism and events into new urban spaces. The book outlines how parts of London not previously regarded as tourist territory are now subject to the visitor gaze with tourism spreading beyond established central zones into peripheral, suburban and residential areas – in part propelled by a big rise in peer to peer accommodation use. Simultaneously, London’s airports and sports stadiums and their surrounds are becoming destinations in their own right. New vantage points have been created, allowing tourists to explore the city: from above, at night-time or through tours given by the homeless; via the opening up of the River Thames; or through the transformation of local parks into eventscapes. The book explores these trends and shows how urban destinations expand. In doing so, it enhances our understanding of London and highlights the growing significance of tourism and events in global cities.

Book Synopsis Poverty, Gender and Life-cycle Under the English Poor Law, 1760-1834 by : Samantha Williams
Download or read book Poverty, Gender and Life-cycle Under the English Poor Law, 1760-1834 written by Samantha Williams and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2011 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social welfare, increasingly extensive during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, was by the first third of the nineteenth under considerable, and growing, pressure, during a "crisis" period when levels of poverty soared. This book examines the poor and their families during these final decades of the old Poor Law. It takes as a case study the lived experience of poor families in two Bedfordshire communities, Campton and Shefford, and contrasts it with the perspectives of other participants in parish politics, from the magistracy to the vestry, and from overseers to village ratepayers. It explores the problem of rising unemployment, the provision of parish make-work schemes, charitable provision and the wider makeshift economy, together with the attitudes of the ratepayers. That gender and life-cycle were crucial features of poverty is demonstrated: the lone mother and her dependent children and the elderly dominated the relief rolls. Poor relief might have been relatively generous but it was not pervasive - child allowances, in particular, were restricted in duration and value - and it by no means approximated to the income of other labouring families. Poor families must either have had access to additional resources, or led meagre lives. Samantha Williams is a university lecturer in local and regional history at the Institute of Continuing Education, Cambridge, and a Bye-Fellow in History, Girton College, Cambridge.
Book Synopsis The Ordeal of Warwick Deeping by : Mary Grover
Download or read book The Ordeal of Warwick Deeping written by Mary Grover and published by Associated University Presse. This book was released on 2009 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Ordeal of Warwick Deeping seeks to demonstrate that the way cultural hierarchies are established shapes the nature of the products generated. Although commentators on mass culture have stressed the homogenous identity of popular texts, the mechanical nature of their production and the passivity of their consumers, Deeping's novels imply that readers are aware of and resistant to such characterizations. Q. D. Leavis identified this resistance, but she and other self-appointed members of the cultural elite failed to recognize that the "game" of drawing cultural distinctions blunted the exercise of the very quality on which the self-appointed. umpires based their claim to cultural superiority-moral intelligence and discrimination."--BOOK JACKET.
Book Synopsis Dangerous Energy by : Wayne D. Cocroft
Download or read book Dangerous Energy written by Wayne D. Cocroft and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-15 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprises a national study of the explosives industry and provides a framework for identification of its industrial archaeology and social history. Few monuments of gunpowder manufacture survive in Britain from the Middle Ages, although its existence is documented. Late 17th-century water-powered works are identifiable but sparse. In the later 18th century, however, the industry was transformed by state acquisition of key factories, notably at Faversham and at Waltham Abbey.In the mid-19th century developments in Britain paralleled those in continental Europe and in America, namely a shift to production on an industrial scale related to advances in armaments technology. The urgency and large-scale demands of the two world wars brought state-directed or state-led solutions to explosives production in the 20th century. Yhe book’s concluding section looks at planning, preservation, conservation and presentation in relation to prospective future uses of these sites.
Download or read book Essex written by James Bettley and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 1036 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essex, one the largest counties of England, stretches from the suburban fringes of East London to the fishing and sailing ports of Harwich and Maldon and the famous seaside resorts of Clacton, Frinton, and Southend. Its buildings encompass rich Roman survivals, powerful Norman architecture, and the remains of major Tudor and Jacobean country houses. Essex is first and foremost a county famed for its timber buildings, from the eleventh-century church at Greensted to the early and mighty barns at Cressing Temple, and a wealth of timber-framed medieval houses. Later periods have also made their contribution, from Georgian town houses to Victorian and Edwardian industrial and civic buildings, and from important exemplars of early Modern Movement architecture to the major monument of High Tech at Stansted Airport.

Book Synopsis Built for a Better Future by : Victoria Perry
Download or read book Built for a Better Future written by Victoria Perry and published by White Cockade Publishing. This book was released on 1994 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed in 1946-1951 by the Architects' Co-operative Partnership and the engineer Ove Arup, the Brynmawr rubber factory was built to bring aid to the devastated economy of South Wales. Its visionary conception, innovative shell-concrete construction and photogenic form immediately made it a Modernist icon. In 1986 it became the first post-war building to be listed; but today it lies derelict, a spectacular ruin under threat of demolition. This story of 'an outstanding building in an out-of-the-way place' is rich in interest for all concerned with the place of architecture and conservation in society.
