Geographical Aesthetics

Imagining Space, Staging Encounters

By: Elizabeth Straughan

Geographical Aesthetics places the terms 'aesthetics' and 'geography' under critical question together, responding both to the increasing calls from within geography to develop a 'geographical aesthetics', and a resurgence of interdisciplinary interest in conceptual and empirical questions around geoaesthetics, environmental aesthetics, as well as the spatialities of the aesthetic. Despite taking up an identifiable role within the geographical imagination and sensibilities for centuries, and having what is arguably a key place in the making of the modern discipline, aesthetics remains a relatively under-theorized field within geography. Across 15 chapters Geographical Aesthetics brings together timely commentaries by international, interdisciplinary scholars to rework historical relations between geography and aesthetics, and reconsider how it is we might understand aesthetics. In renewing aesthetics as a site of investigation, but also an analytic object through which we can think about worldly encounters, Geographical Aesthetics presents a reworking of our geographical imaginary of the aesthetic.

Museums and Community

Ideas, Issues and Challenges

By: Elizabeth Crooke

Combining research that stretches across all of the social sciences and international case studies, Elizabeth Crooke here explores the dynamics of the relationship between the community and the museum. Focusing strongly on areas such as Northern Ireland, South Africa, Australia and North America to highlight the complex issues faced by museums and local groups, Crooke examines one of the museum's primary responsibilities – working with different communities and using collections to encourage people to learn about their own histories, and to understand other people's. Arguing for a much closer examination of this concept of community, and of the significance of museums to different communities, Museums and Community is a dynamic look at a relationship that has, in modern times, never been more important.

Pacific Crossing

Pacific Crossing

California Gold, Chinese Migration, and the Making of Hong Kong

By: Elizabeth Sinn

During the nineteenth century tens of thousands of Chinese men and women crossed the Pacific to work, trade, and settle in California. Drawn initially by the gold rush, they took with them skills and goods and a view of the world which, though still Chinese, was transformed by their long journeys back and forth. They in turn transformed Hong Kong, their main point of embarkation, from a struggling infant colony into a prosperous international port and the cultural center of a far-ranging Chinese diaspora. Making use of extensive research in archives around the world, Pacific Crossing charts the rise of Chinese Gold Mountain firms engaged in all kinds of transpacific trade, especially the lucrative export of prepared opium and other luxury goods. Challenging the traditional view that the migration was primarily a "coolie trade," Elizabeth Sinn uncovers leadership and agency among the many Chinese who made the crossing. In presenting Hong Kong as an "in-between place" of repeated journeys and continuous movement, Sinn also offers a fresh view of the British colony and a new paradigm for migration studies.

Buckinghamshire

By: Nikolaus Pevsner,Elizabeth Williamson,Geoffrey K. Brandwood

This completely new edition reveals a county of contrasts. The semi-rural suburbia of outer-Outer London, with its important early Modern Movement houses, is counterbalanced by magnificent mansions and parks, like idyllic Stowe and the Rothschilds' extravaganza at Waddesdon. The Saxon Church at Wing, the exquisite seventeenth-century Winslow Hall, and Slough's twentieth-century factories all contribute to Buckinghamshire's rich inheritance. In this new edition, the unspoilt centres of small towns, like Amersham and Buckingham, are revisited and Milton Keynes, Britain's last and most ambitious New Town, is explained and explored. The rich diversity of rural buildings, built of stone, brick, timber, and even earth, is investigated with scholarship and discrimination. This accessible and comprehensive guide is prefaced by an illuminating introduction and has many excellent illustrations, plans and maps.

Chemical Biomarkers in Aquatic Ecosystems

By: Thomas S. Bianchi,Elizabeth A. Canuel

This textbook provides a unique and thorough look at the application of chemical biomarkers to aquatic ecosystems. Defining a chemical biomarker as a compound that can be linked to particular sources of organic matter identified in the sediment record, the book indicates that the application of these biomarkers for an understanding of aquatic ecosystems consists of a biogeochemical approach that has been quite successful but underused. This book offers a wide-ranging guide to the broad diversity of these chemical biomarkers, is the first to be structured around the compounds themselves, and examines them in a connected and comprehensive way. This timely book is appropriate for advanced undergraduate and graduate students seeking training in this area; researchers in biochemistry, organic geochemistry, and biogeochemistry; researchers working on aspects of organic cycling in aquatic ecosystems; and paleoceanographers, petroleum geologists, and ecologists. Provides a guide to the broad diversity of chemical biomarkers in aquatic environments The first textbook to be structured around the compounds themselves Describes the structure, biochemical synthesis, analysis, and reactivity of each class of biomarkers Offers a selection of relevant applications to aquatic systems, including lakes, rivers, estuaries, oceans, and paleoenvironments Demonstrates the utility of using organic molecules as tracers of processes occurring in aquatic ecosystems, both modern and ancient

The Anatomy Museum

Death and the Body Displayed

By: Elizabeth Hallam

Anatomy museums around the world showcase preserved corpses in service of education and medical advancement, but they are little-known and have been largely hidden from the public eye. Elizabeth Hallam here investigates the anatomy museum and how it reveals the fascination and fears that surround the dead body in Western societies. Hallam explores the history of these museums and how they operate in the current cultural environment. Their regulated access increasingly clashes with evolving public mores toward the exposed body, as demonstrated by the international popularity of the Body Worlds exhibition. The book examines such related topics as artistic works that employ the images of dead bodies and the larger ongoing debate over the disposal of corpses. Issues such as aesthetics and science, organ and body donations, and the dead body in Western religion and ritual are also discussed here in fascinating depth. The Anatomy Museum unearths a strange and compelling cultural history that investigates the ideas of preservation, human rituals of death, and the spaces that our bodies occupy in this life and beyond.

The Electra Conspiracy

By: Elizabeth Revill

British filmmakers Amy Wilde and Jon Curtis just want to make an entertaining documentary about Electra, a pop icon famous for her singing voice and strong opinions about capital punishment and the sale of land mines. Unfortunately, for Amy and Jon, they've chosen the wrong singer at the wrong time. The Brandenburg Sect, a secret group of top Western politicians and businessmen who generally get what they want, decide Electra has to go; her subversive views are too popular with the masses. The Sect has already interfered once in Electra's relationship with the heir to the British throne. Now she is dating a wealthy, powerful Saudi. Security forces under the Sect's control use captured convicted murderers and terrorists to kill for their side on command. Triggers for these re-programmed assassins have been set in Electra's musical recordings. Electra is close to discovering this misuse of her musical tracks when she dies in a fiery crash in a London tunnel while being chased by paparazzi. Investigations reveal a conspiracy, which Amy and Jon are determined to uncover and use in their film. They are soon marked people targeted by security services with their bank accounts frozen and identities stolen. In a race against the clock, can Amy and Jon alert the public to the truth before they too are eliminated? Or will the, not so faceless, men in black win the day? Security forces under the Sect's control use captured convicted murderers and terrorists to kill for their side on command.

They are soon marked people targeted by security services with their bank accounts frozen and identities stolen. In a race against the clock, can Amy and Jon alert the public to the truth before they too are eliminated? Or will the, not so faceless, men in black win the day? Author's Notes: The circumstances surrounding the death of Princess Diana were nothing if not controversial. Conspiracy theories abounded from claims of Government plots too much, much more. Rumours raged after her death and the press was very keen to play up to this. Many television programmes sought to investigate the truth behind her death and although many doubts were cast on the accident, none came up with a totally satisfactory explanation to this tragedy. I always admired Diana and thought her untimely death was a great loss to society, so much so that I did some digging and investigating myself. This led me on to discover any number of claimed 'conspiracies' out there from the death of Marilyn Monroe, John Lennon and JF Kennedy to the landing of men on the moon. It was all fascinating stuff. This gave me an idea, I wondered if it were possible to use some of these theories, fictionalise them, take them further dramatically by incorporating threads of other conspiracy claims, and weave them into a novel. When I read about the secret Bilderberg group, and the claim that they controlled the fate of the world and the experiments performed in the USA on the military in years gone by, a germ of an idea began to grow. I knew that there had been a thought provoking movie, "The Manchurian Candidate" on this subject but I deliberately didn't watch it until I had written my story. I saw it very recently and was literally enthralled. Electra is my idea of the music world's counterpart to Diana. I wondered, 'What if...?" My imagination knows no bounds and from that small seed, The Electra Conspiracy was born.
