Rob Deering has been listening to music his whole life, but it was
only in his mid-thirties that - much to his surprise - he found
himself falling in love with the hugely popular, nearly perfect,
sometimes preposterous activity of running In this vividly conjured
collection, Rob shares stories of when a run, a place and a tune
come together in a life-defining moment. His adventures in running
have spanned four continents, fifteen marathons and numberless
miles of park and pavement, and the carefully chosen music
streaming through his headphones has spurred him forward
throughout. What makes the perfect running tune? Where can you find
the best routes, even in an unfamiliar town? Why do people put
themselves through marathons? In Running Tracks, Rob Deering shares
his sometimes surprising answers to these questions, and explains
how a hobby became an obsession that changed his life forever.
Guerrilla Radios in Southern Africa is a collection of essays on the histories of the different radios of the liberation movements in the region during the era of the armed struggle.
From Angola and Mozambique, to Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa, the new
technology of radio provided the liberation movements in exile with a platform to
address their followers at home, to propagate their ideologies and to counter the
propaganda of the oppressive white minority regimes. As the cheapest and most direct
medium, guerrilla radios transcended the boundaries imposed by the settler regimes and
were widely listened to, albeit within the realm of illegality.
Transnational in its approach, the book explores the workings of these radios from
their areas of broadcast in exile, international solidarity, to reception at home where
listeners often huddled around their receivers to listen to the messages from the
liberation movements, often beyond the gaze of the state. These radios shaped the
nature of resistance campaigns that the liberation movements embarked upon in the
various countries in the region.
India, Living in an Ornate World explores as to why India is so
rich in colour and ornamentation and why it has such a diversity of
culture and architecture. There is still a large part of the
population who prefer to continue living their traditional life in
old-world settings. Their buildings reflect their long artistic and
creative history. This can be seen in all levels of society. A
modest dwelling in India can give as much an indication of this as
can a palace. The lives of people in streets tend to be lived in
public. The street is the extension of the house. A large part of
this life is carried out on the streets and is often shared with
many different animals due to the Hindu love of them. The
photographs in this book aimed to catch many of these scenes.
Beginners' exercises explain the basics of threading buttons,
sewing stitches, fusing felt and even how to crochet. Once the
techniques are mastered, designs can be as extravagant or as simple
as you want - no specialist skills or equipment is required. The
basic techniques are followed by a wide range of stunning projects
that will appeal to every crafter out there. The projects vary from
funky, chunky jewellery and accessories for kids to beautiful and
delicate accessories and fun decor items for yourself and your
home. For beginners there are clear instructions, while experienced
crafters will find loads of inspiration for personalised projects.
Beautiful colour photographs of all finished projects will provide
further inspiration while templates for the designs in the book
will make it easy to use that inspiration to create delightful
gifts or unique items for your own use.
A ground-breaking new anthology in the Art in Theory series,
offering an examination of the changing relationships between the
West and the wider world in the field of art and material culture
Art in Theory: The West in the World is a ground-breaking anthology
that comprehensively examines the relationship of Western art to
the art and material culture of the wider world. Editors Paul Wood
and Leon Wainwright have included 370 texts, some of which appear
in English for the first time. The anthologized texts are presented
in eight chronological parts, which are then subdivided into key
themes appropriate to each historical era. The majority of the
texts are representations of changing ideas about the cultures of
the world by European artists and intellectuals, but increasingly,
as the modern period develops, and especially as colonialism is
challenged, a variety of dissenting voices begin to claim their
space, and a counter narrative to western hegemony develops. Over
half the book is devoted to 20th and 21st century materials, though
the book's unique selling point is the way it relates the modern
globalization of art to much longer cultural histories. As well as
the anthologized material, Art in Theory: The West in the World
contains: A general introduction discussing the scope of the
collection Introductory essays to each of the eight parts,
outlining the main themes in their historical contexts Individual
introductions to each text, explaining how they relate to the wider
theoretical and political currents of their time Intended for a
wide audience, the book is essential reading for students on
courses in art and art history. It will also be useful to
specialists in the field of art history and readers with a general
interest in the culture and politics of the modern world.

This truly global and visually stunning compendium showcases
some of the most breath-taking pieces of street art and graffiti
from around the world. Since its genesis on the East Coast of the
United States in the late 1960s, street art has travelled to nearly
every corner of the globe, morphing into highly ornate and vibrant
new styles. This unique atlas is the first truly geographical
survey of urban art, revised and updated in 2023 to include new
voices, increased female representation and cities emerging as
street art hubs. Featuring specially commissioned works from major
graffiti and street art practitioners, it offers you an insider’s
view of the urban landscape as the artists themselves experience
it. Organized geographically, by continent and by city – from New
York, Los Angeles and Montreal in North America, through Mexico
City and Buenos Aires in Latin America, to London, Berlin and
Madrid in Europe, Sydney and Auckland in the Pacific, as well as
brand new chapters covering Africa and Asia – it profiles more
than 100 of today’s most important artists and features over 700
astonishing artworks. This beautifully illustrated book, produced
with the help of many of the artists it features, dispels the idea
of such art as a thoughtless defacement of pristine surfaces, and
instead celebrates it as a contemporary and highly creative
inscription upon the skin of the built environment.

Speel jy al 'n ruk lank met mosaiekwerk, maar voel jy moet dit nou
op 'n hoer vlak beoefen? Of is jy 'n beginner wat soek na 'n
uitdaging? Dan is hierdie boek net wat jy nodig het. Dit bied
mosaiekwerk aan as 'n kunsvorm waar lyn, kleur en tekstuur almal
saamwerk om pragtige resultate te lewer. Die treffende foto's op
elke bladsy is inspirerend en leersaam. Die skrywer, wat
oorspronklik 'n tekstiel ontwerper was, besef hoe belangrik die
keuse van 'n ontwerp is wanneer jy 'n mosaiekprojek wil onderneem.
Hierdie boek sal jou leer hoe om die regte ontwerp te kies en dit
as 'n ontwerptekening weer te gee. Die tegniese inligting wat
verskaf word, sal jou lei deur die proses om 'n ontwerp te kies,
jou leer van die verskillende teels wat beskikbaar is, oppervlakke
waarop jy kan werk en watter vir bepaalde toestande gebruik moet
word, die materiaal en gereedskap wat nodig is, sowel as die
verskillende mosaiektegnieke wat vir die voltooiing van jou projek
gebruik kan word. Daar is selfs voorstelle vir alternatiewe as
benodigdhede in jou omgewing moeilik bekombaar is. Die
stap-vir-stap-projekte is pragtig en kan presies gevolg word, maar
die skrywer moedig mosaiekwerkers aan om die projekte hul eie te
maak deur met kleur en tekstuur te speel. Die projekte sluit groot
en klein items in wat jy in jou huis of as geskenke kan gebruik, en
gee alternatiewe voorstelle en idees ingeval jy 'n ander voorkoms
of gevoel sou verkies. Mosaiekkuns behels soveel meer as die blote
plasing van teels langs mekaar, en met Doen Mosaiek in die hand sal
jy ontdek hoe geweldig bevredigend hierdie handwerkvorm kan wees.
