Reconstructing modernity

Space, power and governance in mid-twentieth century British cities

By: James Greenhalgh

Reconstructing modernity assesses the character of approaches to rebuilding British cities during the decades after the Second World War. It explores the strategies of spatial governance that sought to restructure society and looks at the cast of characters who shaped these processes. It challenges traditional views of urban modernism and sheds new light on the importance of the immediate post-war for the trajectory of planned urban renewal in twentieth century. It examines plans and policies designed to produce and govern lived spaces— shopping centers, housing estates, parks, schools and homes — and shows how and why they succeeded or failed. It demonstrates how the material space of the city and how people used and experienced it was crucial in understanding historical change in urban contexts. The book is aimed at those interested in urban modernism, the use of space in town planning, the urban histories of post-war Britain and of social housing.

John Alexander Ferguson

Preserving Our Past, Inspiring Our Future

By: James Ferguson

John Alexander Ferguson was a leading barrister and esteemed judge of the New South Wales Industrial Commission for much of his successful career, and actively contributed to the history of his country. A highly industrious man, Ferguson worked tirelessly to act for the public good. His defining contribution to the history of Australia however, was his magisterial, seven volume BIBLIOGRAPHY OF AUSTRALIA (1941-1969) which describes, with some limited exceptions, every printed document concerning Australia from 1784 to 1901. Many of these can be found in the Ferguson Collection which amasses some of Australia's most significant, rare and unique colonial records as well as pictures and maps that track the birth of Australia.

The Maud Allan Affair

By: Russell James

Maud Allan, the famous exotic dancer was destroyed by the infamous libel trial brought by charismatic British Member of Parliament. and pilot, Noel Pemberton-Billing.In this wonderfully written book, Russell James charts her rise and fall from the days when she saved the 1908 London Olympics from failure to the outrageous miscarriage of justice of her trial which knocked the dark days of the First World War off the front pages of the national newspapers.In his gripping narrative, Russell seamlessly moves from the days when Maud was courted by society to the end when her friends, apart from former PMs wife, Margot Asquith, shunned her in case they, too, were labeled as sexual deviants. The trial was based on the existence of the notorious (and fictional?). German black book and its list of 47,000 sexually depraved people who could be used by the Germans to defeat the British in War. Names included Herbert and Margot Asquith and the judge himself. Maud Allan did not stand a chance.A fantastic read brought out in time for the 2008 Beijing Olympics which will be looking ahead to the next London Olympics, in four years time.
