Terra Infecta: Disease and the Italian Landscape

<div>'Brilliant. A fresh and highly engaging look at how Rome still shapes the world today.' Jonn Elledge 'This book will change the way you think about world history.'&nbsp; Raphael Cormack'Authoritative and engaging.' Subhadra Das'A fascinating and entertaining analysis of how Rome’s propaganda has colonized our collective imaginations.'Eleanor Janega 'Eloquent, well-researched and witty.' David M. Perry How many times a day do you think about the Roman Empire? The general consensus seems to be an awful lot. All Roads Lead to Rome explains why. Rome is more than just a city; it’s an enduring idea, a symbol of identity, power and legitimacy that has shaped the course of history for over 1,500 years. From ancient emperors to modern world leaders, Rome’s influence in building the world we know today is undeniable.&nbsp; In All Roads Lead to Rome, author and historian Rhiannon Garth Jones embarks on a fascinating exploration of how the idea of Rome has been seized by emperors, modern governments, religious leaders and even pop-culture icons. &nbsp; Each chapter examines how Rome’s famous history, politics and mythology have been reimagined through the centuries, and explores how these interpretations continue to shape our modern world. Whether you’re interested in history, contemporary global issues or simply curious about why Rome remains relevant, this book offers a fresh perspective on the lasting significance of one of history’s most famous civilisations.&nbsp; Dive into the history of Rome and its pervasive influence and gain a deeper understanding of the forces shaping the global landscape today.&nbsp;</div>

Why we think of the Roman Empire daily

All Roads Lead to Rome

*A Financial Times and Waterstones Book of the Year 2025*Many artists are unaware of the mathematics that bubble beneath their craft, while some consciously use it for inspiration. Our instincts might tell us that these two subjects are incompatible forces with nothing in common, but what if we're wrong?Marcus du Sautoy, acclaimed mathematician and Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at the University of Oxford, looks to art, music, design and literature to uncover the key mathematical structures that underpin both human creativity and the natural world.Blueprints takes us from the earliest stone circles to the modernist architecture of Le Corbusier, from Bach's circular compositions to Radiohead's disruptive soundscapes, and from Shakespeare's hidden numerical clues to the Dada artists who embraced randomness. Instead of polar opposites we find a complementary relationship that spans a vast historical and geographic landscape.Whether we are searching for meaning in an abstract painting or deciphering poetry, there are blueprints everywhere: prime numbers, symmetry, fractals and the weirder worlds of Hamiltonian cycles and hyperbolic geometry. Nature similarly exploits these structures to achieve the wonders of our universe.In this innovative and delightfully bold exploration of creativity, Marcus explains how we make art, why a creative mindset is vital for discovering new mathematics and how a fundamental connection to the natural world intrinsically links these two subjects.'Blueprints is an extraordinary book which shows us how mathematics and art are connected through structures. Du Sautoy shows us how to bridge the divide of science and the humanities and proves that we can only face and solve the big challenges of the twenty-first century if we go beyond the fear of pooling knowledge' Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director, Serpentine Galleries

Kritische Landforschung. Umkämpfte Ressourcen, Transformationen des Ländlichen und politische Alternativen

Kleine Kommunen in ländlichen Räumen leiden zunehmend unter klammen Kassen. Die Beiträger*innen versammeln Perspektiven aus der Geographie, Finanz- und Politikwissenschaft, Soziologie sowie Sozialer Arbeit und fragen, was die Ursachen und Folgen der Austeritätspolitik sind und welche Visionen es für eine Verbesserung gibt. Dabei kommen neben Wissenschaftler*innen auch Praktiker*innen, etwa aus dem kommunalen Spitzenverband und dem Sachverständigenrat für Wirtschaft der Bundesregierung, zu Wort. Sie argumentieren, dass auskömmliche Kommunalfinanzen zentral sind - nicht nur für eine gut ausgestattete öffentliche Daseinsvorsorge, sondern auch gegen die aktuelle rechte Landnahme.

Through a series of discussions with practitioners in fields beyond the Humanities, this book explores how key creative writing techniques inspire and inform other disciplines. In turn, this new multidisciplinary view of the mechanics of storytelling sparks new ways of approaching the writing, reading and teaching of fiction in and beyond the writing workshop. A personal voyage of discovery, the book revolves around conversationswith specialists in archaeology, genetics, architecture, medicine, law and botanical science to consider how specific techniques - narrative time, characterisation, fictionalstructures, plotting, point of view and place - inform their work. Through a series of reflections, short fictions, practical exercises and prompts, these case studies then suggest new insights and methods for investigating key writing techniques, which in turn advocate for closer interactions between STEM, the humanities and arts practice. With creative arts subjects increasingly under pressure to justify their significance in contemporary work and life, Jacqueline Yallop makes a case for the re-evaluation of the importance of narrative writing craft in the world beyond personal practiceand student assignment.

Creative Writing Across Disciplines

Fiction in the Field

The first collection of critical writings on the work of the influential contemporary French artist Pierre Huyghe. Influenced by wide-ranging ideas from land art and institutional critique to experimental cinematic practices and narrative film, the groundbreaking work of Pierre Huyghe since the early 1990s has arguably, even indelibly, altered the landscape of contemporary art. The French artist works at the beguiling intersection of fiction and reality, representation and performance, spectacle and memory, chance and agency, living organisms and technological entities. As formats and discourses of cinema (be it Godard or Lumet) and architecture, (invented or existing) holidays and games, (puppet) theatre and opera, fairy tales and (travel) literature, museology and computer technology, life sciences and popular culture (like Manga comics or Disney movies) are renegotiated in Huyghe’s variegated projects, the methods and modalities of producing, exposing, and experiencing art, in turn, come under both critical scrutiny and allegorical speculation. The essays and interviews by preeminent scholars, critics, and curators, including Benjamin Buchloh, David Joselit, and Molly Nesbit, compiled in this volume trace the trajectory of Huyghe’s practice over the last three decades, from the artist’s earlier engagements with the built environment, the temporalities of cinema and television, the customs of social communities, and the volatile property relations in global media culture, to his most recent and much-discussed ecological redefinitions of the objects and sites of art. At the same time these texts and conversations ponder and gauge the far-reaching implications of Huyghe’s many seminal artworks for the history, theory, and ontology of art in the early twenty-first century.

This comprehensive volume critically examines patient safety in the NHS, discussing both policy initiatives and practical issues with reference to management culture, the legal context and ethical concerns.The book explores the multiple dimensions of healthcare ethics and safety, tracing the legal landscape's evolution around patient safety and examining clinical negligence processes and their consequences. Looking forward, it addresses the growing influence of artificial intelligence in healthcare delivery. The text engages with fundamental ethical considerations, including medical professional development and standards, while exploring specialised challenges in psychiatry and end-of-life care. The conclusion synthesises these diverse elements, contextualising UK practices globally and demonstrating how patient safety concerns can transform management culture and enhance risk management approaches in healthcare settings.Timely and authoritative, this important book will interest students, researchers and professionals across medicine, law and health management.

Towards a Management Culture

Patient Safety Law, Ethics and Practice in the NHS

From the bestselling author of The Land Where Lemons Grow, a luminous account of Sicilian history, geography, culture and cuisine, as seen from the slopes of Etna For centuries, Mount Etna has sent lava to engulf the towns and villages, terraced fields, orchards, vineyards, and citrus groves that nestle across its slopes. But still it remains home to a quarter of Sicily's population. Why? Because Etna has always rewarded her people after every eruption with a landscape of unparalleled fertility, richness and drama. In this extraordinary new book, Helena Attlee combines travel writing with history, mythology, geology, gastronomy and horticulture to tell a unique story of life in the shadow of Sicily's most dangerous and alluring landmark. Venturing through lava-strewn fields and pistachio groves patrolled by armed guards; past dusky, basalt-built farmyards, and caves once used to store snow, Attlee gathers tales of the artists, writers, farmers, and scientists who have for centuries been drawn to this unpredictable landscape: from the early Roman, Arabic and Norman settlers, Romantic poets and Victorian geologists, to the local families who live and work there today. It is at once a compelling account of Sicily's rich and varied past, and a powerful meditation on humanity's ever-changing relationship with landscape.

<div>Unpack the powerful visual symbols artists have used throughout history.&nbsp; &nbsp; From a single flower to a carefully placed skull, works of art across history are filled with symbols that carry powerful meanings. The Symbols of Art reveals how artists use these symbols to communicate ideas without relying on words.&nbsp; &nbsp; Why is there a lily in that religious painting? Why does a still life include an hourglass, a mirror or a piece of fruit? In some cases, these symbols would have been immediately understood by contemporary viewers but now need decoding for a modern audience. In other instances, symbolism is more deliberately elusive, inviting viewers to look closer and think deeper.&nbsp; &nbsp; This richly illustrated visual reference includes:&nbsp;<ul><li>Over 100 key symbols drawn from art history&nbsp;</li><li>Symbols from the natural world, the manmade world, the supernatural, and colours and shapes&nbsp;</li><li>Famous artworks used as case studies to show symbolism in context&nbsp;</li><li>How meanings change across cultures, movements and centuries&nbsp;</li><li>An easy-to-navigate, fully indexed structure designed for quick consultation as well as browsing&nbsp;</li></ul> Bringing together examples from across periods, cultures and artistic movements, art historian Susie Hodge explains how symbolic meanings can shift depending on time, place and intention, revealing layers of interpretation that radically deepen our understanding of artworks.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Clearly organised and expertly written, The Symbols of Art is both an authoritative reference and an inviting guide for curious readers.&nbsp; &nbsp; Whether you’re visiting a gallery, studying art history or simply want to see artworks with fresh eyes, this book gives you the tools to decode visual meaning and experience art more deeply.&nbsp;</div>

Secret Glasgow: A beautiful garden inside a hospital, a staircase once celebrated by Einstein, the remains of a workhouse and a Roman wall, a lost burn and a reminder of the Spanish Civil War, a stranded column in the Clyde and a Celtic gravestone, a derelict railway platform, a stone that flew over the Irish Sea, the burial place of a Scot who became an American hero and mysterious etchings on a cathedral wall ... 

Glasgow is full of hidden treasures that many residents go past without realising their significance. This is an indispensable guide for anyone who thought they knew the city well but would like to discover its hidden face.

'An extraordinary intervention. If you want to understand the stakes and the limitations of contemporary conflict over culture and colonial history this bold, provocative book is an indispensable resource' Paul Gilroy, founding Director of the Sarah Parker Remond Centre for the Study of Race and Racism at UCL 'Hicks' must-read book describes how it was possible for a human skull to be made into a drinking cup and used in a genteel Oxford college, well into the 21st century, as if empire were an eternal state of nature . . . Read it to learn new ways to be anti-racist, abolitionist and to tell other stories than those commemorated by the monuments that surround us, from statues, to museums and the police' Nicholas Mirzoeff, author of White Sight 'Brave and clear-sighted. Hicks opens up an extraordinary conversation between the past and the present. This is a book about falling statues, but so much more. It's about how we've been lied to, and how we can approach the past with honesty. Hicks asks whether history and archaeology should be used to justify actions we know impinge on the rights of others - or to understand ourselves better' Alice Roberts, bestselling author of Crypt 'Dan Hicks writes with grace and fierce focus about what we choose to remember and why, in our patterns of thought, our institutions and the built environment in which we live' Eyal Weizman, director of Forensic Architecture The culture war is over. If you want it to be. It wasn't even a culture war; it was a war on culture. A sustained attack, Dan Hicks argues, in the form of the weaponisation of civic museums, public art, and even universities - and one that has a deeper history than you might think. Tracing the origins of contemporary conflicts over art, heritage, memory, and colonialism, Every Monument Will Fall joins the dots between the building of statues, the founding of academic disciplines like archaeology and anthropology, and the warehousing of stolen art and human skulls in museums - including the one in which he is a curator. Part history, part biography, part excavation, the story runs from the Yorkshire wolds to the Crimean War, from southern Ireland to the frontline of the American Civil War, from the City of London to the University of Oxford - revealing enduring legacies of militarism, slavery, racism and white supremacy hardwired into the heart of our cultural institutions. Every Monument Will Fall offers an urgent reappraisal of how we think about culture, and how to find hope, remembrance and reconciliation in the fragments of an unfinished violent past. Refusing to choose between pulling down every statue, or living in a past that we can never change, the book makes the case for allowing monuments to fall once in a while, even those that are hard to see as monuments, rebuilding a memory culture that is in step with our times.
