        Oceania under steam

        Sea transport and the cultures of colonialism, c. 1870–1914

        by Frances Steel

        The age of steam was the age of Britain's global maritime dominance, the age of enormous ocean liners and human mastery over the seas. The world seemed to shrink as timetabled shipping mapped out faster, more efficient and more reliable transoceanic networks. But what did this transport revolution look like at the other end of the line, at the edge of empire in the South Pacific? Through the historical example of the largest and most important regional maritime enterprise - the Union Steam Ship Company of New Zealand - Frances Steel eloquently charts the diverse and often conflicting interests, itineraries and experiences of commercial and political elites, common seamen and stewardesses, and Islander dock workers and passengers. Drawing on a variety of sources, including shipping company archives, imperial conference proceedings, diaries, newspapers and photographs, this book will appeal to cultural historians and geographers of British imperialism, scholars of transport and mobility studies, and historians of New Zealand and the Pacific.

        The List of Ships

        by Serhiy Zhadan

        Sixty poems about memory born of love, and about fire that leaves tenderness in its wake. Sixty attempts to outline light and to tell of the air above the city. Sixty excerpts of other people’s conversations, sixty voices that fill the twilight in spring. “The List of Ships” is a list of those who had left, but whom we cannot forget. A list of names that accompany you throughout all your life. A list of cities where you are always expected and welcomed. Perhaps, the most intimate book of the author.

        Building reputations

        Architecture and the artisan, 1750–1830

        by Conor Lucey

        Taking a cue from revisionist scholarship on early modern vernacular architectures and their relationship to the classical canon, this book rehabilitates the reputations of a representative if misunderstood building typology - the eighteenth-century brick terraced house - and the artisan communities of bricklayers, carpenters and plasterers responsible for its design and construction. Opening with a cultural history of the building tradesman in terms of his reception within contemporary architectural discourse, chapters consider the design, decoration and marketing of the town house in the principal cities of the eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century British Atlantic world. The book is essential reading for students and scholars of the history of architectural design and interior decoration specifically, and of eighteenth-century society and culture generally.

        Media reports often praise movement as a cure-all. But apart from its undisputed positive effect on health, does movement really make us smarter?
