Artists' Impressions in Architectural Design analyses the ways in which architects have presented their designs for clients and the public, both historically and contemporarily. It spans a period from the fifteenth to the twenty-first century. Architects have become familiar with change. The passage of time has brought with it new and revived styles of architecture, as well as innovative tools and techniques for their representation. The result is that while some methods show a view of the architect's concept for a building, others offer an almost real experience of the intended architecture. This book provides a rare and valuable study in which the exciting technological developments of today are placed in context with the rich heritage of the past. It offers an opportunity to learn how architects have chosen to represent their ideas. The authors dare to glimpse into the future and hopefully offer some reassurance for tomorrow.

This volume forms part of a five volume set charting the progress
of the nineteenth century movement which was instrumental in
establishing international guidelines for the teaching of modern
languages. It was during this period that for the first time,
co-operation between phoneticians and teachers culminated in the
publication of works that were instrumental in establishing the
'applied linguistic' approach to language teaching in the twentieth
century. For the first time, too, the new science of psychology
influenced a scientific theory of second language acquisition. The
Reform Movement attracted support across Europe, spurring the
development of new professional associations and journals. In turn,
the publication in these journals of reports of innovative practice
contributed to a greater sense of autonomy and professionalism
among modern language teachers, who had hitherto tended to live
under the shadow of classical language teaching. The practical
innovations and theoretical suggestions for the foreign language
teaching, although rooted in the nineteenth century, still have
relevance today.

Crickets oldest, and fiercest, rivalry! No contest in cricket comes
close to matching The Ashes for drama, passion and sporting
theatre. When England and Australia go head to head, two countries
hold their collective breath and prepare for a roller-coaster ride
of power, pride, pain and victory at all costs. But it's also about
respect - a love of the game and the realisation that two great
sporting nations are entwined through one of sport's greatest
rivalries. With over 135 years of Ashes history, here's a
collection of the best quotes and defining moments - from
'Bodyline' to 'Botham's Ashes', from Lord's to the Gabba, from 'The
Don' to 'The Barmy army'. 'England have only three major problems.
They can't bat, they can't bowl and they can't field.' - Martin
Johnson's assessment at the start of the 1986-87 tour. England's
recovery to win the Ashes later led Johnson to remark: 'Right
quote, wrong team.'
This book provides an overview of the history of policing in the
UK. Its primary aim is to investigate the shifting nature of
policing over time, and to provide a historical foundation to
today's debates. Policing: a short history moves away from a focus
on the origins of the 'new police', and concentrates rather on
broader (but much neglected) patterns of policing. How was there a
shift from communal responsibility to policing? What has been
expected of the police by the public and vice versa? How have the
police come to dominate modern thinking on policing? The book shows
how policing - in the sense of crime control and order maintenance
- has come to be seen as the work which the police do, even though
the bulk of policing is undertaken by people and organisations
other than the police. This book will be essential reading for
anybody interested in the history of policing, on how differing
perceptions emerged on the function of policing on the part of the
public, the state and the police, and in today's intense debates on
what the police do.
In the 19th century, Europe exported its politics, goods, ideas,
customs - and not least, its sports, to the rest of the world. This
imperialism began a process of cultural diffusion in which sport
became a cultural bond, moral metaphor and political symbol. It was
a two-way process, for as soon as the world beyond Europe became
known to the Europeans, sports from other parts of the world
entered Europe. The sports of Europe and the United States were
imitated and assimilated and became symbols of national and
cosmopolitan identity. This work examines the national and
international importance of sport and its role in shaping
post-millennium global culture.

"I would rather live in a country with newspapers and without a
government, than in a country with a government but without
newspapers" - Thomas Jefferson. This is the sixth volume in a set
traces the development of American journalism from its early
beginnings in the 17th century up until 1940. Together the books
outline the enormous changes which the industry underwent, from the
production techniques to journalistic practices and changes in
distribution methods. Media historians considered Hudson's history,
"Journalism in the United States, from 1600-1872 (1873)", to be the
authoritative text for the study of the development of American
journalism, a subject previously neglected by American historians.
The work has remained an important source for modern day scholars.
Hudson (1819-75) became known as "the father of journalism" for his
innovative news-gathering practices and was managing editor of the
New York Herald, which by the outbreak of the Civil War was the
most widely read newspaper in the United States. Alfred McClung
Lee's "The Daily Newspaper in America. The Evolution of a Social
Instrument" is an extensive examination of the newspaper industry
from 1710 to 1936, from a
