        So exotic, so homemade

        Surrealism, Englishness and documentary photography

        by Ian Walker, John Taylor

        In his previous book City Gorged with Dreams (2002), Ian Walker challenged established ideas about Surrealist photography by emphasising the key role played by documentary photographs in Parisian Surrealism. Now Walker turns his attention to the arrival of Surrealism in England in 1936. Examining for the first time the surprising relationship between Surrealism and English documentary photography and film, the book shows that some of the most interesting work of the period was made in the ambiguous spaces between them. One of the key themes in this book is the relationship between the 'homely' and the 'exotic', in the innovative mix of poetry and ethnography in Mass-Observation for example, or the shadowed England constructed in the work of Bill Brandt. Based on extensive archival research, interviews and visits to sites where the photographs were made, this book is rich in detailed analysis yet written in an accessible and often witty style. ;

        A history of the Ulster Unionist Party

        Protest, pragmatism and pessimism

        by Graham Walker

        This is the first substantial history to trace the political development of the Ulster Unionist Party through the years of protest and opposition to Irish Home Rule to the half-century as a governing party within Northern Ireland, and beyond to the current attempts to bring peace to the Province. It demonstrates why the Party is so central to efforts to reach a political settlement, and explains why it has for so long been the main political voice of the pro-Union electorate in Northern Ireland. An important and scholarly work based on extensive primary source research, it brings to light forgotten historical episodes of contemporary political significance, and provides new angles on old controversies and debates. The book discusses the evolution of the Ulster Unionist Party with reference to competing ideological currents, class and social tensions within the Unionist movement, and the role of leadership figures and maverick personalities. This is a book that maps the party's historical journey from the dramatic days of Carson to the current predicaments of Trimble. ;

        Finding Resilience

        Change and Uncertainty in Nature and Society

        by Brian Walker

        Floods, fires, famines, epidemics and disasters of all kinds are on the increase, and as their frequency rises so does the call for greater resilience. But what does that mean? The word is used differently in psychology, ecology, economics and engineering and runs the risk of becoming meaningless jargon. This would be most unfortunate because, if we are to successfully navigate very real and dangerous global trends, it is resilience that needs to be understood and fostered. Finding Resilience is international in scope and unravels how ecosystems, societies and people cope with disturbance and adversity. Written for a general readership and based on the experiences of researchers, the fascinating stories from around the world reveal what resilience is, how it works in different kinds of systems, how it is expressed, and how it can be gained and lost.

        Harte Zeiten

        Für diese Zeiten

        by Charles Dickens, Maurice Greiffenhagen, F. Walker, Paul Heichen

        »Harte Zeiten. Für diese Zeiten« – so lauten Titel und Untertitel des von April bis August 1854 in der Wochenschrift »Household Words« erschienenen Werkes, dessen Zielrichtung hier schon deutlich wird: die Unmenschlichkeit, die mit der sich immer weiter ausprägenden Industrialisierung in der viktorianischen Epoche einhergeht. Ein starrer Blick auf Rationales und auf Zahlen – »Tatsachen, Tatsachen, Tatsachen!« – prägt das zwischenmenschliche Verhalten in der Unternehmerwelt und hat entsprechende Auswirkungen auf die entrechteten Arbeiter, für die Dickens exemplarisch die Figur des Steven Blackpool zeichnet. Blackpool zögert nicht, dem hartherzigen Industriellen Bounderby die Wahrheit über die Situation der Webereiarbeiter zu sagen. Die Haupthandlung wird von zahlreichen Nebenhandlungen umrankt, in denen Zorn über soziale Ungerechtigkeit und satirische Einsprengsel nebeneinanderstehen.
