        The Library and archive collections of the University of Aberdeen

        An introduction and description

        by Edited by Iain Beaven, Peter Davidson and Jane Stevenson

        This volume commences with the the books and manuscripts given at the foundation of King's College in 1495, continues with the collections which accrued to Marischal College from its foundation in 1593, and comes together with the fusion of the two colleges in 1860 in the modern University of Aberdeen. From the beginning, the scope and focus of the University was international, and its developing collections represent a microcosm of the world of knowledge as it changed over the centuries. The University Colleges of Aberdeen have a distinct intellectual tradition: pragmatically tolerant in times of persecution; dissident from the religious and political policies of the Lowlands; looking outwards to the world of northern Europe and to the territories of the Jacobite diaspora. The book introduces one of the oldest continually-evolving academic library collections of the Anglophone world, surveys its history and includes a series of studies of items or collections of particular interest. ;

        Riddles at work in the early medieval tradition

        Words, ideas, interactions

        by Megan Cavell, Jennifer Neville

        Capitalising on developments in the field over the past decade, Riddles at work provides an up-to-date microcosm of research on the early medieval riddle tradition. The book presents a wide range of traditional and experimental methodologies. The contributors treat the riddles both as individual poems and as parts of a tradition, but, most importantly, they address Latin and Old English riddles side-by-side, bringing together texts that originally developed in conversation with each other but have often been separated by scholarship. Together, the chapters reveal that there is no single, right way to read these texts but rather a multitude of productive paths. This book will appeal to students and scholars of early medieval studies. It contains new as well as established voices, including Jonathan Wilcox, Mercedes Salvador-Bello and Jennifer Neville.

        Round our way

        Sam Hanna's visual legacy

        by Heather Nicholson

        Sam Hanna (1903-96), a pioneering filmmaker from Burnley, Lancashire, was dubbed the 'Lowry of filmmaking' by BBC broadcaster Brian Redhead in the 1980s. The well-meant label stuck, even though it misses the variety of Hanna's remarkable output. Hanna's intimate glimpses into the lives of strangers enable us to imagine the possible stories that lie behind the images. Away from mid-century exponents of documentary filmmaking and photography, Hanna shows us humanity and a microcosm of a world in change, where his subjects are caught up in issues far beyond their grasp that we, as onlookers years later, encounter and see afresh. Written and curated by historian Heather Norris Nicholson, Round our way combines stills, essays and archive photography to document Hanna's unique visual record on film, particularly in northern England, but also further afield, during decades of profound change.

        Le Camp De Frau Gruber

        by Ted Barr

        Le Camp De Frau Gruber Le manifeste des cendres du coq par Ted Barr   Quelles sont les frontières du mal ? Que signifie la vie life on the verge au seuil d’une mort arbitraire soudaine ? Cela vaut-il la peine de vivre derrière une clôture électrifiée ? Le camp de Frau Gruber est une allégorie exaltante à propos de garder la foi en l’humanité dans ses périodes les plus noires ; elle rappelle fortement le chef d’œuvre de George Orwell La Ferme des animaux. Un monde dans lequel il existe des personnes telles que Frau Gruber, Herr Schickl, et leurs associés morbides n’est pas le même que celui dans lequel nous vivons. Bien que sous d nombreux aspects leur monde paraît lui ressembler, il constitue en fait davantage un univers parallèle, retiré de la réalité que nous connaissons. Et pourtant, par moments, le lecteur peut passer outre les différences et s’y laisser plonger. Dans ce roman surprenant et énigmatique, le lecteur se trouve doucement et lentement submergé dans un microcosme imaginaire – un monde fantastique, à la foi poétique et terrible, qui parfois brise le cœur et qui, à d’autres moments, horrifie, dans lequel la vie n’est guère plus qu’un accessoire transparent. Les coqs, en tant qu’êtres humains, sont seulement des visiteurs momentanés dans un scenario bien plus étendu, dont la signification est trop élevée pour eux pour la saisir (mis à part le vieux coq Ba Ba Loop qui, à l’instar des prophètes d’antan, a des yeux pour voir, mais ne possède pas le pouvoir de changer quoi que ce soit). La seule manière d’apporter une signification à des temps d’une horreur telle est de tout investir pour la mémoire, ce qui constitue le cadre dans lequel ce roman est fondé : la foi en l’homme, oublier, se souvenir et l’essence de la vie au sein d’une époque impossible. Bien que se démarquant d'une description, principalement évoquée, de la petite enfance d'Adolf Hitler, Le camp de Frau Gruber ne se contente pas de raconter une histoire qui est, en de nombreux points, parallèle à l'histoire du judaïsme européen. Ce livre se transforme, au contraire, en une fable sur l'expérience vécue par l’humanité entière au XXème siècle, écrite à travers les yeux du XXIème siècle comme une bravade contemporaine. L'auteur, Ted Barr, 54 ans, a une maîtrise en économie et des diplômes dans des zones d'intérêt variées, y compris l'histoire allemande, le symbolisme, les tactiques de bataillon et de division, ainsi qu’en astronomie. Barr est un artiste de renom, spécialisé dans les galaxies et autres éléments du ciel. L'auteur a développé une technique de peinture unique, qu’il enseigne dans des ateliers dans le monde entier. Barr est le fondateur du groupe Current Art, et l’on peut avoir un aperçu de son activité artistique sur son site d'art, www.tedpaintings.com. Une édition du Camp de Frau Gruber est parue pour la première fois en Israël, en hébreu, en 2006, suivant le premier livre de Barr, Krombee, un livre pour enfants paru en 1990.

        Wild Things

        Nature and the Social Imagination

        by William Beinart, Karen Middleton and Simon Pooley

        Wild Things: Nature and the Social Imagination assembles eleven substantive and original essays on the cultural and social dimensions of environmental history. They address a global cornucopia of social and ecological systems, from Africa to Europe, North America and the Caribbean, and their temporal range extends from the 1830s into the twenty-first century. The imaginative (and actual) construction of landscapes and the appropriation of Nature – through image-fashioning, curating museum and zoo collections, making ‘friends’, ‘enemies’ and mythical symbols from animals – are recurring subjects. Among the volume’s thought-provoking essays are a group enmeshing nature and the visual culture of photography and film. Canonical environmental history themes, from colonialism to conservation, are re-inflected by discourses including gender studies, Romanticism, politics and technology. The loci of the studies included here represent both the microcosmic – underwater laboratory, zoo, film studio; and broad canvases – the German forest, the Rocky Mountains, the islands of Haiti and Madagascar. Their casts too are richly varied – from Britain’s otters and Africa’s Nile crocodiles to Hollywood film-makers and South African cattle. The volume represents an excitingly diverse collection of studies of how humans, in imagination and deed, act on and are acted on by ‘wild things’.

        The Korean-American Dream

        Portraits of a Successful Immigrant Community

        by James Flanigan

        Chairman Yang Ho Cho, head of Korean Air and Hanjin, talks of Los Angeles as a “microcosm of the United States—a land built of immigrants who want to do one thing: improve their lives.”In The Korean-American Dream, respected and distinguished business journalist James Flanigan uncovers the struggles and contributions of the people who have made Los Angeles the largest Korean city outside of Seoul.This intimate account illustrates how Korean immigrants have preserved their culture and history as well as adapted to the American culture of E Pluribus Unum, the radical promise of “out of many, one.” Flanigan shows how Los Angeles emerged as a capital of the Asia Pacific region.At less than 2 million, Korean Americans are a relatively small group compared to new Americans from China, the Philippines, and India. But with energy and drive, they are building landmarks in New York as well as L.A., lobbying for causes in Washington, founding businesses, heading universities and hospitals, and holding public office in all parts of the U.S.

        The Wild Meadow

        Discover the diversity of a hidden world

        by Angelika Huber-Janisch, Annette Zacharias

        Crawling, chirping, flying and buzzing: a meadow is full of action! And a wild meadow is a fascinating place: A miniature biotope just waiting to be discovered. This book aims to raise awareness among children and adults of how to help preserve what we consider to be everyday, run-of-the-mill meadows, because they are not only home to a wide range of flowers, but innumerable creatures above and below ground. Meadows play a decisive role in a well-functioning ecosystem. This book takes a look at the flowers and plants, fungi and mosses which grow here and which children can then examine more closely on their next walk. And there are various animals and phenomena underground, too – an exciting microcosm whose diversity is little known.

        Hungarian Art

        Confrontation and Revival in the Modern Movement

        by Éva Forgács

        “I was unable to put down [this book]; one that will be used by those interested in the field for a long time to come.”– Dr. Oliver Botar, Hungarian Cultural Studies   Insightful essays, monographic texts, and rarely-seen images trace from birth to maturation several generations of Hungarian Modernism, from the avant-garde to neo-avant-garde. Éva Forgács corrects long-standing misconceptions about Hungarian art while examining the work and social milieu of dozens of important Hungarian artists. The book also paints a fascinating image of twentieth-century Budapest as a microcosm of the social and political turmoil raging across Europe up to and beyond the collapse of the Soviet Era.
