Book Synopsis Numbers and Narratives by : Wray Vamplew
Download or read book Numbers and Narratives written by Wray Vamplew and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-08 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume argues for a more quantitative, economic and theoretical approach to sports history. The author notes that sport can have peculiar economics as in no other industry do rival businesses have to cooperate to produce a sellable output. He also demonstrates, via a case study of early gate-money football in Scotland, that sports producers were not always seeking profits, and often put winning games and trophies ahead of making money. Another analysis examines how industrialisation affected sport, how sport became an industry in its own right and how the workplace became a major provider of sports facilities. A look at third sector economics highlights how the popularity of football provided an ideal vehicle for charity fundraising. The book observes that most sports participants are amateurs but at the elite level the paid player has a key role, and this is assessed through case studies of the jockey and the golf professional. Finally, the author discusses and evaluates various theories relating to the historical development of the sports club. This book was originally published as a special issue of Sport in Society: Cultures, Commerce, Media, Politics.

Book Synopsis Suffragist Artists in Partnership by : Rose Lucy Ella Rose
Download or read book Suffragist Artists in Partnership written by Rose Lucy Ella Rose and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores the interconnected creative partnerships of the Wattses and De Morgans - Victorian artists, writers and suffragists This is the first book dedicated to examining the marital relationships of Mary and George Watts and Evelyn and William De Morgan as creative partnerships. The study demonstrates how they worked, individually and together, to support greater gender equality and female liberation in the nineteenth century. The author traces their relationship to early and more recent feminism, reclaiming them as influential early feminists and reading their works from twentieth-century theoretical perspectives. By focusing on neglected female figures in creative partnerships, the book challenges longstanding perceptions of them as the subordinate wives of famous Victorian artists and of their marriages as representatives of the traditional gender binary. This is also the first academic critical study of Mary Watts's recently published diaries, Evelyn De Morgan's unpublished writings and other previously unexplored archival material by the Wattses and the De Morgans. Key Features:Reveals the ways in which the couples promoted progressive socio-political ideasDraws on extensive archival research and analyses unpublished writings, including diaries and poemsFocuses on neglected female figures in creative partnerships to challenge longstanding perceptions of them as the submissive or subordinate wives of famous Victorian artists, and of their marriages as representatives of the traditional gender binaryShows how male and female writers and artists engaged with mid-to-late Victorian feminism together and individually, reclaiming them as influential early feminists

Book Synopsis The Reshaping of British Railways by : British Railway Board
Download or read book The Reshaping of British Railways written by British Railway Board and published by Collins. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Reshaping of British Railways is a piece of railway history every dedicated enthusiast will want in their collection. Bradshaw's Guide has given birth to a wave of nostalgia for our Victorian and Edwardian railway systems. The Reshaping of British Railways, another facsimile which will fascinate train buffs, is the document that decimated these systems forever. With the British Rail company's failure, by the early 1960s, to stem the network's huge annual losses, the government turned to Dr Richard Beeching. He was to save money by recommending the cutting of redundant routes and services. His two reports, The Reshaping of British Railways (1963) and The Development of the Major Railway Trunk Routes (1965), were published by the British Railways Board in 1965, and offer a fascinating snapshot of our nation's railways. In the first part of this historic facsimile, Dr Beeching identifies the 2,363 stations and 5,000 miles (8,000 km) of railway line for closure - over 50% of all stations and 30% of route miles. The second part recommends a small number of major remaining routes for significant investment. Well documented nationwide protests resulted in the saving of some stations and lines, but the majority were closed as planned and Beeching's name is to this day associated with the mass closure of railways and the loss of many local services in the period that followed. Now, for the first time, this iconic piece of railway history is available in its entirety, complete with the original tables and maps of routes deemed fit for closure.
Download or read book Gurkha Odyssey written by Peter Duffell and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2019-12-27 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A British general’s memoir of serving with these famed Nepalese warriors: “An inspiring journey, delightfully related.” —Times Literary Supplement It is 1814 and the Bengal Army of the Honourable East India Company is at war with a marauding Nepal. It is here that the British first encounter the martial spirit of their indomitable foe—the Gurkha hill men from that mountainous independent land. Impressed by their fighting qualities and with the end of hostilities in sight, the Company begins to recruit them into their own ranks. Since then these lighthearted and gallant soldiers have successfully campaigned wherever the British Army has served—from the North West Frontier of India through two World Wars to the contemporary battlefields of the Falklands and Afghanistan’s Helmand Province, with well over one hundred battle honors to their name and at a cost of 20,000 casualties. Here, Peter Duffell separates fact and myth and recounts something of the history, character, and spirit of these loyal and dedicated soldiers—seen through the prism of his service and campaigning as a regular officer in the 2nd King Edward VII’s Own Gurkha Rifles, as the Brigade of Gurkhas Major General and as Regimental Colonel of the Royal Gurkha Rifles.
Book Synopsis An Historical Atlas of Kent by : Terence Lawson
Download or read book An Historical Atlas of Kent written by Terence Lawson and published by History Press (SC). This book was released on 2004 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive new historical atlas, based on current research, fills a notable gap in the published histories of the county and will serve for many years as an important work of reference for the history of Kent. The 250 newly drawn and reader-friendly maps cover topics ranging from the earliest Stone-Age occupation to such modern developments as the growth of leisure industries. Virtually every aspect of Kent s history is clearly mapped and explained in this remarkable new work. Kent can probably claim to have more unique features in its history than most other counties, all fully reflected in this atlas. The Cathedral at Cantebury with its medieval shrine to St Thomas Becket requires the general subject of pilgrimage to be covered in detail; the Cinque Ports, the echoes of their ancient privileges still apparent by the early 19th century, are another Kentish phenomenon; Romney Marsh, although not quite the separate continent that some claim, is nevertheless well worthy of the detailed account of its medieval history; Kent s perennial role as a gateway is perfectly illustrated by the "Strangers" from the near Continent who settled widely in the 16th and 17th centuries. Kent s industrial history is dominated by the unique concentration of royal dockyards; while the story of Kent s coalfield, isolated from its cousins in the North and Midlands, is yet another remarkable chapter. Finally, being located between the capital and the shortest crossing to the Continent, Kent s relationship with London has been exceptionally close since medieval times and is a recurring theme in this atlas. Several topics not usually covered in county historical atlases are included, for example the introduction of public water and gas supplies in the 19th century, together with the expansion of banking services and the local press. Though Kent has seen much in its time, it has never before seen a book like this, which will be welcomed well beyond the Kentish borders."

Download or read book Abbotswood written by Michael Drakeford and published by Phillimore. This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abbotswood is a favoured suburb in Guilford, Surrey. This major new study takes the reader back to Edwardian time, when the estate was still a dream for the developer Alfred G. Taylor, the father of a fascinating family, and talented architect, A. Claude Burlingham. The estate became the basis for several more quality developments in north-east Guildford between the two world wars, inclusing Ganghill Estate, and significant parts of Merrow, such as Fairway and three roads off Trodds Lane. Early features captured on photographs, both historical and contemporary, offer an insight into the homes of the estate. The book explores the very best of suburban architecture, and in doing so provides the strongest possible argument for its retention. The book will fascinate those interested in Guildford's local history, but will also appeal to anyone with a broader interest in the period, and in particular the Arts and Crafts style, as well as those hoping to replicate the characteristic and distinctive architecture of the period.
