THE STORY OF HOW A WILD MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE EVOLVED INTO AN ELITE OLYMPIC SPORTWhy is the best blood of England to waste itself in scaling hitherto inaccessible peaks, in staining the eternal snow, and reaching the unfathomable abyss never to return? - The Times, 1865In the 1950s, rock climbing was a wild mountain adventure that was defined by a rebellious, bohemian culture and practised by small groups of amateur enthusiasts. Today, rock-climbing has become a professionalised, high-performance, mass-participation Olympic sport. There are now more than 400 climbing walls and over 500,000 people climb regularly in the UK.Ascent tells the story of this remarkable transformation.Anthony King a dedicated climber himself traces the sports evolution through decades of rebellion, innovation and achievement to its place today as a vibrant, diverse culture. His own experiences colour the narrative; we discover not just how climbing developed, but what it feels like to climb and be a climber. More than just a history of the sport, through this story we also see how British society itself has changed.Expansive, immediate and deeply engaging, Ascent is both cultural sport history and lived experience.

Radically lyrical, politically astute, this new collection features six writers whose every word is an act of affirmation. As it must be, for their art to flourish beside one of the worlds great languages.In Alcatraz: Poems from the Contemporary Welsh, we find youthful energies tackling climate change, global extinctions, even human life beyond our planet. Whether in Wales or Palestine, Manhattan or the island of Alcatraz itself, we learn that todays Welsh language poetry, with its unique perspective, is as valid as any verse in the world. And, possibly, more vital.If these translations take liberties, none are unforgivable. The spirit of each poem remains unblemished. Here, veteran writers, such as Menna Elfyn, Karen Owen and Iwan Llwyd, mix with the next generations Iestyn Tyne, Llyr Gwyn and Sian Northey. Alcatraz is an essential work for anyone interested in the good health of modern poetry in the UK.

In Middle Quarter, architect John Tuomey continues the story of his life in architecture. The narrative moves from intimate laments on the loss of aging parents and artist friends to reflections on the poetical and practical aspects of an architects role in contemporary society.The focus shifts back and forth between personal episodes and recollected events, from the struggles of starting out in partnership with Sheila ODonnell to their successes and failures in the international arena of architectural design.Written in clear and compact prose, including conceptual sketches and selected photographs, the book discloses sources of inspiration and ideas behind ODonnell + Tuomeys distinctive and dramatic designs, including the Glucksman Gallery Cork, the Lyric Theatre Belfast and public buildings in London and Budapest.Middle Quarter, a mid-career memoir, is a companion volume to First Quarter, the place-based trajectory of Tuomeys first twenty-five years, published by Lilliput Press in 2023.

What if the only way to fix toxic masculinity were to erase it entirely? Mark Vogel is like the older brother Stefan never had, but one day he disappears without a trace. A year later, after encountering a woman who looks near-identical to Mark, Stefan becomes obsessed. He finds that dozens of young men have disappeared over the years, many of them students at the Royal College of Saint Almsworth, and most of them troubled or unruly. Why are students going missing? Who are these women who bear striking resemblances to them? And what is their connection to the selective student accommodation on the edge of campus, Dorley Hall?Stefan starts studying at Saint Almsworth for one reason and one reason only: to find out exactly what happened to the women who live at Dorley Hall, and to get it to happen to him, too. An electrifying debut by Alyson Greaves, Welcome to Dorley Hall is an intense exploration of gender and society that will appeal to readers of Torrey Peters, Imogen Binnie and Gretchen Felker-Martin.

Maestro di Cappella del duomo a Gaeta tra 1619 e 1637, Giovanni Battista de Bellis (Itri, 1570 ca. Gaeta 1637) e sicuramente tra i migliori madrigalisti del primo ventennio del Seicento. Il contributo che de Bellis da alla produzione musicale napoletana del primo Seicento, va colto e compreso analizzando non solo gli ambiti musicali da lui indagati, quanto anche il quadro istituzionale di riferimento e il ruolo sociale che ha ricoperto. Il compito di Maestro di Cappella nella cattedrale di SantErasmo, dunque, al di la dello spazio che la liturgia riservava alla musica (ancora oggi largamente insondato e malamente compreso nelle minime parti gia conosciute), nel complesso dei raffronti possibili con altre realta come Napoli e Roma, riveste unimportanza decisiva perche dimostra che la funzione assunta centrale nel panorama regnicolo e in totale sintonia con le linee culturali ed estetiche largamente condivise al tempo in quegli stessi ambiti.

A fascinating book that covers the history and development of something that is unique to the Middle Ages the castle. - Medieval HistoryOver 1,000 castles were built in the century following the Norman Conquest. Most were constructed in the wake of the Conquest itself by the Norman lords and their allies as they took possession of their lands. These conquerors in a hostile land numbered only a few thousand and their castles became both symbols of subjugation and bastions of paranoia.Nevertheless, contrary to the popular perception, medieval castles were more often lived in than fought over. A castle was a fortified feudal residence, a symbol of a lords power and authority and the instrument of regional domination: administrative, judicial and military.Very few castles remain unaltered from when they were first built and none fits neatly into any particular category. Many have succumbed to the ravages of siege warfare, abandonment and despoliation, especially in the aftermath of the English Civil War. Some have been entirely rebuilt and most have been remodelled many times, according to the current military, domestic and architectural fashion. For several there is evidence of continuous occupation from the twelfth century to the present day.Stephen Friar has an encyclopaedic knowledge of all aspects of castles as well as the ability to place issues within a historical context and explain them succinctly and clearly for the non-specialist. From quadrangular castles to shell keeps, garderobes and gargoyles to tournaments, and anarchy to zig-zag moulding, this detailed AZ reference book, with its lavish illustrations, is essential reading for anyone interested in medieval castles.A fascinating book as well as providing a history of British castles, the book also offers advice on how to get the most enjoyment and fulfilment out of your visits. - The Journal
