Strasdin K: Dressing the Queen

Dressing the Queen

The designers, embroiderers and corset-makers to the Crown

Routledge Research in Art History

Through a rereading of the available textual and visual sources of Symbolist theater and of the work of Nabi artists, as well as through an analysis of sources and paintings previously unexamined in the existing literature, this book rewrites the history of the cross-fertilization between Nabi art and Symbolist theater.

Exploring the County that Made the Modern World

A nuclear historian gives a new, surprising account of one of the most controversial actions in history-how the United States deployed the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II-and the fallout that continues to haunt us. In the eight decades since the United States deployed the most destructive weapon ever used, conventional wisdom has held that American leaders were faced with a difficult choice: Invade Japan, which would have cost millions of Japanese and Allied lives in bloody combat, or use the fearsome atom bomb in the hopes of convincing the Japanese emperor to surrender. President Truman-in what many have come to regard as an immoral decision-ordered the military to drop the bomb. Now, historian Alex Wellerstein offers a revisionist narrative of what happened in the spring of 1945, uncovering new research that points to a very different chain of events. Wellerstein reveals a much more complex situation in which American leaders, limited by time, knowledge, and authority, and under great secrecy, each jockeyed to influence if and how the bomb would be used. Refuting previous accounts, Wellerstein explains how there was no official decision to use the bomb, nor did President Truman likely know that Hiroshima or Nagasaki were heavily populated cities. Once the bombs were dropped, Truman began a years-long struggle for control of the awesome power of atomic weapons, the ramifications of which are still felt today. The Most Awful Responsibility documents the little-known truth of the circumstances leading to this momentous event, painting a more complete picture of the end of World War II and of Truman himself. It is essential reading for all who want to truly understand not only why the bomb was dropped on Japan, but also why it has not been used since.

Field Guide to the Dragonflies and Damselflies of Great Britain and Ireland

An inventive new look at the shared histories of Britain's nationsThe future of England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and adjacent islands is in flux again - as it has been repeatedly for millennia.This book tells the story of the Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans and others who have occupied these isles, along with their culture, languages and passions. It charts the kaleidoscope of overlapping and conflicting identities, along with the changing role of women and the stories of emigrants and immigrants.England conquered Wales in the Middle Ages and formed unions with Scotland in 1707 and Ireland in 1801. Britain was fashioned by the opportunities of the largest empire the world has seen, coupled with a desire to defend Protestantism against a largely Catholic Europe. It was always a fragile union, however. Ireland broke away in 1922 after a war of independence. And as the Empire crumbled, nationalism grew in Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland, which remained part of the UK, was wracked by a 30-year civil war. Even the name of the islands is contested: is it the 'British Isles' or 'Britain and Ireland' or even the 'Atlantic Archipelago'? The future of the nations is in question again, with vital consequences for all their inhabitants and for the world.This examination of the past, present and future relationship between England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland - along with the Isle of Man, Channel Islands and other isles - covers over 200 million years of history, with a particular focus on the colourful and pivotal parts. Themes include the part played by religion and the British Empire, international diasporas and internal migration. With forays into popular culture, sport, music, language, literature, art and everything in between, Groom examines the state of the nations, the feelings of their inhabitants and the prospects for further changes in the relationship between them.

No sex. No kids. No future? When Tom Feiling moved to Tokyo as a student in the early nineties, Japan was a beacon of the future: a rising superpower, a technology giant, a global symbol of prosperity, civility and success. When he returned twenty-four years later, the country was still a sign of things to come-but, he began to realize, it was no longer a beacon. It was a warning. This is a unique account of contemporary Japan, which travels from the quiet of its furthest flung villages to the aspiration and dynamism of its cities. It tells the story of how, from the mid-seventies onwards, Japanese society unknowingly embarked on a vast, silent process of transformation that is still unfolding today. It is still peaceful; it is still prosperous. But the Japanese population is dwindling at an alarming rate. As things stand, Japan's populace will shrink by a third with each new generation; by 2070 it will have lost the equivalent of the entire population outside of Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya. Travelling through shrines and bars, rice fields and mango farms, coffee shops and old peoples' homes, Feiling meets with those affected by, and driving, this transformation. Through countless interviews and extensive research, he weaves together a powerful account of how and why men and women are ceasing to pair off and have kids. He reveals how sexual appetites and behaviours are both shaped by, and reshaping the evolving economy, and he considers both the dangers and the opportunities of the rise in solo living in Japan-and beyond. For although this is a Japanese story, it will soon be playing out all around the world. A low birth rate, an ageing society, and a shrinking population are visible everywhere from Spain to South Korea. Japan is simply further down the line. So this really is a journey to the future: sex robots and herbivorous men are now Japanese phenomena, but they may soon be coming for us all.

A celebration of 75 years of publishing at Thames &amp; Hudson - a delight for bibliophiles, historians, art lovers and fans of the T&amp;H brand. In 1949 Walter and Eva Neurath founded Thames &amp; Hudson with a clear aim: to make art and scholarship more accessible through independent publishing that was prepared to risk being ahead of the curve. Seventy-five years later, their original vision of creating a 'museum without walls' still resonates. As well as publishing beautifully designed and produced books in collaboration with the world's leading artists, writers, museums, cultural institutions and fashion houses, T&amp;H continues to evolve and innovate, remaining relevant and reflecting the times we live in. This special publication, divided into three chronological chapters, provides a comprehensive delve into the company's history. An introduction and three essays by historian Anna Nyburg take us from its origins in Vienna on the cusp of the Second World War to the 1960s and a change in management, and to the new millennium and beyond. Thames &amp; Hudson's rich output of groundbreaking and award-winning titles - ranging across the subjects of art, archaeology and architecture; history, design, photography and fashion - is celebrated in stunning pictorial spreads, as beautiful and compelling as the books themselves. The Art of the Book will be a valuable resource for those interested in the history of bookmaking and T&amp;H's impact over the years, and a must-have for collectors, enthusiasts and anyone with an appreciation for the art and evolution of publishing.
