October 2020Die innersten Geheimnisse der Welt
Roman
by Rose Tremain
Bath, 1865: Jane ist eine begnadete Krankenschwester und findet die Aussicht, ihr Leben als Ehefrau und Mutter an der Seite des jungen Arztes Valentine zu verbringen, wenig reizvoll. Umso mehr, als sie bei einem Aufenthalt in Londons freizügiger Bohème die schöne Julietta kennenlernt … Während Jane mit ihrem inneren Konflikt ringt, zieht es Valentines Bruder Edmund an weit entfernte Orte: Auf der Suche nach exotischen Pflanzen und Tieren reist der Forscher in den tiefen Dschungel Borneos. Doch er hat die Gefahren der gewaltigen Natur und des drückenden Klimas unterschätzt – und so muss auch er sich fragen, was er sich von seinem Schicksal eigentlich erhofft … Rose Tremains kühner und sinnlicher Roman erzählt mit unbändiger Abenteuerlust von Menschen zwischen Leidenschaft und Konvention, von Heils- und Glücksversprechen – und der Sehnsucht nach Erlösung.

Geography & the EnvironmentMay 2018Ecological Effects of Electricity Generation, Storage and Use
by Peter Henderson
This book reviews the past, present and future generation and use of electricity. While noting the importance of electricity to the well-being of people, it argues that all means of electricity generation have adverse ecological consequences. The ecological effects of all the main forms of electricity generation, storage and transmission are reviewed in 14 chapters. The chapters briefly cover the engineering and physics of each method of electricity generation followed by a description of the different ways in which the technology interacts with the natural world. Finally, sections consider the importance of these impacts and how they can be mitigated or avoided. A final chapter summarizes the issues and emphasizes that the only way to truly minimize the impacts of electricity generation is to reduce our consumption and transmission. Future efforts should continue to focus on increasing the efficiency of light production, refrigeration, electrical appliances and batteries.

The ArtsNovember 2013Out of the ivory tower
The Independent Group and popular culture
by Anne Massey, Christopher Breward, Bill Sherman
The Independent Group is now the subject of global scholarly interest, and this book, a sequel to The Independent Group: Modernism and mass culture in Britain, 1945-59, explores the Anglo-American phenomenon from a new perspective. The Group included fine artists Magda Cordell, Richard Hamilton, Nigel Henderson, Eduardo Paolozzi and William Turnbull; architects Alison and Peter Smithson, James Stirling and Colin St John Wilson; graphic designer Edward Wright; music producer Frank Cordell; and writers Lawrence Alloway, Reyner Banham, John McHale and Toni del Renzio. This radical collective met at the ICA in London during the early 1950s, and worked with and within the new world of both the avant-garde and popular culture. This sequel includes an in-depth discussion of the recent historiography of the Independent Group, and examines its history from an alternative perspective - that of popular culture. The themes of domestic space, Hollywood film, fashion, mass-circulation magazines, science-fiction and popular music are explored, broadening our general understanding. ;

The ArtsJuly 2016Making sense of the Bayeux Tapestry
Readings and reworkings
by Anna Henderson, Bill Sherman
This book aims to make sense of the Bayeux Tapestry by bringing together answers to a number of questions which this famous hanging presents to the viewer. How did the embroiderers organise the stitching of the Bayeux Tapestry? Are its limited colours used with greater sophistication than viewers have recognised? What do we know of the Tapestry's supporting cast: naked figures in the margins and clerics present at events in the main register? Can we learn anything about the original purpose of the Tapestry from detailed examination of Bayeux Cathedral's 1476 Inventory, the first known reference to the Tapestry's existence? This book combines up-to-the-minute research with an introduction that draws on the contributors' personal observations in order to interrogate the Tapestry's enduring value. Bringing together contributions from leading specialists and newer voices in the field, it will be essential reading for students and scholars of the Bayeux Tapestry, medieval art and culture. ;

CricketNovember 2008Worst of Cricket 2, The
More Malice and Misfortune from the World's Cruellest Game
by Nigel Henderson
“You do well to love cricket,” said Lord Harris, “for it is more free from anything sordid, anything dishonourable, than any game in the world.” Harris, who captained the first England team to do battle with the Australians in this country, obviously never got his hands on a copy of The Worst of Cricket. If that volume failed to totally convince you that the sport is designed to disturb, dismay and disgruntle in equal measure, then maybe it was because it only scratched the surface. Subtitled ‘More Malice and Misfortune in the World’s Cruellest Game’, The Worst of Cricket 2 completes the job, taking up where its predecessor, one of the best-selling titles in Pitch’s popular ‘Worst of Sport’ series, left off. The book takes another humorous look at the whole catalogue of malevolence, misadventure and madness associated with the sport – corruption, violence, drunkenness, incompetence – on and off the pitch!

Malice and Misfortune in the World's Cruellest Game
by Nigel Henderson
We've been swallowing the myth for years; that cricket is a gentlemanly pursuit, where bad luck is something to be borne stoically, and bad behaviour is poor form that will get you drummed out of the club. This is plainly nonsense. The Worst of Cricket is a warts-and-all celebration of the truth that malice and misfortune play a crucial role in the world’s cruellest game. So pad up and take your guard against the very worst elements of cricket, from the worst imaginable gamesmanship to the worst thrashings and injuries; from the worst umpiring decisions, confrontations and missed catches to the worst instances of cheating and brawling. Here are fielders impaled on pavilion gates, groundsmen sparking riots by rolling the pitch, sex and drugs and rock ‘n’ roll-style dressing-room trashings – all in a book that will simultaneously delight and appal any supporter or aficionado of the first-class game.
