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.

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

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.
