On the history and creation of ambigrams, by a pioneer of the practice

Hofstadter D: Ambigrammia

Ambigrammia

Between Creation and Discovery

Independent bookshops are the unsung heroes of queer liberation, providing friendship, solidarity and sanctuary through the ages.

'A terrific read!' Jane&nbsp;Cholmeley, author of&nbsp;A Bookshop of One's Own

Travelling from Shakespeare and Company in Paris to Gay's the Word in London to the Oscar Wilde Memorial Bookshop in New York, A.J. West has written the first history of these remarkable spaces. Tracing their evolution from under-the-counter operations to beloved out-and-proud institutions, West reveals how they stood at the vanguard of LGBTQ+ rights, offering support through the AIDS crisis and bringing the fight to Section 28.

How Queer Bookshops Changed the World celebrates cherished shops past and present, the ground-breaking books they championed when others wouldn't, and the booksellers who demonstrated courage and community through it all.

'I&nbsp;have savoured every chapter, practically every sentence.' James Cahill, author of&nbsp;Tiepolo Blue

'Perfectly captured and inspirational.' Robin Ince, co-host of BBC Radio 4's&nbsp;The Infinite Monkey Cage

'A crucial history of love, struggle, solidarity and liberation.' Jake Arnott, author of The Long Firm

How Queer Bookshops Changed the World

Most composition textbooks begin with skills like thesis writing and paragraph structure. This one begins with a person. Writing as Self-Design is a transformative textbook in which students examine control of information and discover their agency in meaning-making. Informed by neuroscience, rhetorical theory, digital literacy, and composition pedagogy, this book challenges students to question how meaning is made, filtered, and constrained in the digital age, and to develop their unique voices through composition strategies that reclaim writing as an act of self-design. It is a book which responds to the technological landscape in which we find ourselves. Rather than convincing students of the value of research and writing, Writing as Self-Design allows them to discover their own emotional value through enhanced agency in inquiry and resistance. Through this textbook, composition becomes a space in which students question information control, the hedonic cycle of passive consumption, and their greater agency in creativity and intentional design. Recognizing the ubiquity of tools like AI, this book encourages critical examination of how and why they are used. Students engage with algorithmic bias, misinformation, datafication, and the influence of platforms like Google, TikTok, and ChatGPT: not just as topics, but as forces that shape the way they think, write, and relate to the world. The value of Writing as Self-Design will resonate well beyond the classroom, addressing the importance of the critical skills needed to navigate the "total noise" of our media-saturated lives, build personal definitions of success, and rediscover the creative cycle that leads to lasting happiness and fulfilment.

A fascinating consideration of the dynamic relationship between fashion, art, and the modernizing forces of the early nineteenth century &nbsp; Across the visual arts in France and Britain in the 1820s and 1830s a novel concept of fashionability took shape. Driven by a quest for the new and wide-ranging in taste, fashion flourished in the period’s expansive print production, while the fine arts negotiated the demand for novelty by, paradoxically, reviving styles from the past. Susan L. Siegfried argues that the intersections between fashion, costume, and art in these pivotal decades embody the fractured conditions of early-nineteenth-century visual culture. &nbsp; The New Taste examines depictions of clothing and hairstyles in fashion plates, paintings, prints, and sculpture by artists including Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Horace Vernet, Achille Devéria, and Bertel Thorvaldsen, alongside texts on clothing and art by writers such as Honoré de Balzac and Thomas Carlyle. Siegfried reveals how both the commercial and the fine arts responded to transformations in social dynamics, colonialism, print technology, textile manufacture, perceptions of the male dandy, and the role of women as consumers. Highlighting a largely overlooked period in art and fashion, this richly illustrated volume offers insights into the social, artistic, and gendered questions that troubled the shift from classicism to realism.

The New Taste

'A beautiful and highly original voice' Observer 'A deeply satisfying read' Irish Times 'Pure captivation from one of Ireland's rising talents' Irish Examiner From Catfish Rolling's Clara Kumagai, a second novel full of longing, love and heartbreak, inspired by Puccini's Madame Butterfly. Turn the page, strike a chord. There are restless ghosts to be appeased... When Japanese-American teenager, Adam, discovers a diary in his attic, he is enthralled by its account of a young Japanese woman's life. A hundred years separate them yet she, like Adam, is caught between cultures, relationships and heartbreak. She also writes of the ghosts that have begun to seek her out, which Adam dismisses as fantasy - until he too, begins to be haunted. It leads him to Nagasaki, trying to solve the mystery of the diary, and his own identity. And the ghosts gather...

Songs for Ghosts

Decades after his passing, Elvis Presley remains one of popular music's greatest icons. He was among the most successful, influential, socially significant, and controversial performers of the twentieth century, with a celebrity so indelible that every recent American president has negotiated its orbit. While much of the coverage of Elvis' life concerns his personal history and musical ability, Rethinking Elvis pushes beyond the familiar to address Elvis' branding, historical and geographic reception, heritage, and fan phenomenon. Using Elvis' iconography as a point of departure, popular music scholars and historians contend with issues related to the performer's whiteness, Southern identity, and gender, among others, in turn offering myriad opportunities to pursue new approaches in the emergent field of Elvis studies.

Am 4. Juli feiern die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika den 250. Geburtstag: 250 Jahre Unabhängigkeit. Anlässlich dieses Meilensteins beleuchtet dieses Buch die zentralen Momente dieses Zeitraums, entgegen der laufenden Versuche, die Geschichte der Vereinigten Staaten - und somit auch die von Europa - umzuschreiben. 'All About U.S.' hinterfragt gängige Annahmen und Mythen, wie etwa die Gründung der USA auf scheinbar unbewohntem Land, besiedelt von einer Auswahl an aussergewöhnlichen Leuten, die sich der weltweit ersten liberalen Verfassung verpflichteten. Mit seiner präzisen, transparenten Grafi ksprache und dem faktenorientierten Narrativ gewährt 'All About U.S.' Einblicke in den aktuellen Zustand der Vereinigten Staaten, Europas und der Welt, eingebettet in einen historischen Kontext. Durch eine Beurteilung der Erfolge und Schwierigkeiten der Vereinigten Staaten zielt das Buch darauf ab, uns an die Notwendigkeit von Optimismus zu erinnern - eine der eindrucksvollsten Qualitäten der amerikanischen Kultur. Trotzdem kann eine bessere Zukunft nur dann entstehen, wenn wir Fehler anerkennen, daraus lernen und schwierigen Zeiten mit Zusammenhalt begegnen.

A profound meditation on hip hop's transformative power, In the Hour of Chaos takes us deep into the mind of the genre's most unabashed revolutionary. This book is not an autobiography.

Engaging with some of the world's leading thinkers on hip hop, "Professor Chuck" sets out on a journey that celebrates fifty years of hip hop and charts paths forward for its future. Exploring the intersections of hip hop with Black radicalism and feminism, media and technology, and globalization and politics, this curated collection shows the power of culture and the arts not only to bring people together but to bring about political change in this current hour of chaos. Features conversations with leading thinkers, including Robin D. G. Kelley, H. Samy Alim, Jeff Chang, Davey D, Scot Brown, Cheryl L. Keyes, Gaye Theresa Johnson, Bryonn Bain, Maya Jupiter, Adam Bradley, Joan Morgan, and more.

Genre trailblazer in both music and fashion, Charli XCX is revising the rules on self-expression as a popstar.
