Following a period of ideological and practical change in museums,
this book outlines new attitudes in curating and display, education
and learning, text and interpretation, access, inclusion,
participation, space, and the sustainability of the encyclopaedic
collection. Focused on the contemporary period, the author
questions the extent to which the museum visitor has become reliant
on interpretative text and examines the development of new museum
spaces where visitor interaction and engagement is welcomed.
Changes of attitude have transformed our museums into modern spaces
that reflect current needs and modern expectations and yet our
permanent collections remain relatively unchanged, sometimes an
uncomfortable reminder of a time when values, ethics and attitudes
were very different. The author will discuss these conflicts of
ideology. Written by a researcher with expertise in museum
practice, this shortform book offers a new approach that will be
valuable reading for students and scholars of cultural management
and policy, as well as providing insights for reflective museum
practitioners.

Harry Potter: A History Of Magic is the official book of the exhibition, a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between Bloomsbury, J.K. Rowling and the brilliant curators of the British Library. It promises to take readers on a fascinating journey through the subjects studied at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry - from Alchemy and Potions classes through to Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures.
Each chapter showcases a treasure trove of artefacts from the British Library and other collections around the world, beside exclusive manuscripts, sketches and illustrations from the Harry Potter archive. There's also a specially commissioned essay for each subject area by an expert, writer or cultural commentator, inspired by the contents of the exhibition - absorbing, insightful and unexpected contributions from Steve Backshall, the Reverend Richard Coles, Owen Davies, Julia Eccleshare, Roger Highfield, Steve Kloves, Lucy Mangan, Anna Pavord and Tim Peake, who offer a personal perspective on their magical theme. Readers will be able to pore over ancient spell books, amazing illuminated scrolls that reveal the secret of the Elixir of Life, vials of dragon's blood, mandrake roots, painted centaurs and a genuine witch's broomstick, in a book that shows J.K. Rowling's magical inventions alongside their cultural and historical forebears.
This is the ultimate gift for Harry Potter fans, curious minds, big imaginations, bibliophiles and readers around the world who missed out on the chance to see the exhibition in person.

Discover the stories of some of the most breathaking and historic
great houses of London, along with their secrets, in this lavishly
illustrated compedium. London has a wealth of truly stunning great
houses, seen by many as one of the marvels of English architecture,
and yet to many their histories, their interiors and their
occupants remain unknown. This book, illustrated throughout with
sumptuous photography of these breathaking residences, reveals to
us this secret world of riches and splendour. From the baroque and
imposing magnificence of 10 Downing Street, perhaps London's most
famous address, to the extraordinary Pre-Raphaelite mosaics of
Debenham House to the confident, futuristic steel and glass of the
Richard Rogers House in Chelsea, this book showcases these
properties and details their origin as well as the many
transformations they have undergone from their construction to the
present day. There are many architectural wonders, among them
Robert Adam's 20 St James's Square and William Burges's Tower
House. Several - including Bridgewater House with its Raphaels and
Titians - have held great art collections. These are houses that
hold extraordinary stories: half the Cabinet resigned after
breakfast at Stratford House; and on 4 August 1914, at 9 Carlton
House Terrace - then the German Embassy - young duty clerk Harold
Nicholson deftly substituted one declaration of war for another.
With photography by the world-famous and multi-award winning Fritz
von der Schulenburg, this title brings these houses to life in all
their grandeur, and text from historian and author James Stourton
delves into the many fascinating stories hidden behind the walls of
these homes. Great Houses of London opens the door to some of the
greatest and grandest houses in the world to tell the stories of
their owners and occupants, artists and architects, their
restoration, adaptation and change. Now available in a more compact
format.
This guide describes a varied selection of 57 walks on the
Portuguese island of Madeira, exploring the dramatic cliff
coastline, scenic levadas (irrigation channels), dense laurisilva
'cloud' forests and high mountain peaks, plus three walks on
neighbouring Porto Santo. There are routes to suit all abilities,
from easy, level levada walks to steep and rugged mountain paths -
some with exposed sections calling for a sure foot and good head
for heights. Since the steep terrain of Madeira does not easily
support circular walks, many of the routes are linear, however most
can be accessed by public transport and there is the option to link
routes to create longer outings and multi-day hikes. With a
favourable climate and striking scenery, Madeira is a fantastic
walking destination. The routes in this guide are spread across the
whole island, and visitors may choose to base themselves in the
capital, Funchal, or in one of the many smaller towns and villages.
Regular flights and ferries link Madeira with Porto Santo, which
boasts an exceptional sandy beach and pleasant, easy walking. The
guide also outlines a day-cruise to the nearby uninhabited Ilhas
Desertas. Comprehensive route description, overview statistics and
sketch mapping are provided for each walk. There is practical
advice on travel and transport, a basic map of central Funchal and
fascinating notes of Madeira's geology, history, plants and
wildlife. Useful contacts and a Portuguese-English glossary
(including a menu decoder) can be found in the appendices.
