heart-warming tales of friendship and humour off it.Absorbing and

their chest.

For 125 years the British & Irish Lions have stood out as a
peerless emblem in world sport. This unique account of the best
from the four Home Nations examines every tour in the Lions'
history, including the victorious 2013 tour to Hong Kong and
Australia, told in the players' words. Behind the Lions sees rugby
writers from across the Home Nations delve to the heart of what it
means to be a Lion, interviewing a vast array of former and current
players to uncover the passion, pride and exhilaration experienced
when wearing the famous red jersey. It is a tale of heartbreak and
ecstasy, humour and poignancy that is at once inspirational, moving
and utterly compelling. This is the story of the British &
Irish Lions in their own words.
The living practice of Daoist ritual is still only a small part of
Daoist studies. Most of this work focuses on the southeast, with
the vast area of north China often assumed to be a tabula rasa for
local lay liturgical traditions. This book, based on fieldwork,
challenges this assumption. With case studies on parts of Hebei,
Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces, Stephen Jones describes
ritual sequences within funerals and temple fairs, offering details
on occupational hereditary lay Daoists, temple-dwelling priests,
and even amateur ritual groups. Stressing performance, Jones
observes the changing ritual scene in this poor countryside, both
since the 1980s and through all the tribulations of
twentieth-century warfare and political campaigns. The whole
vocabulary of north Chinese Daoists differs significantly from that
of the southeast, which has so far dominated our image. Largely
unstudied by scholars of religion, folk Daoist ritual in north
China has been a constant theme of music scholars within China.
Stephen Jones places lay Daoists within the wider context of folk
religious practices - including those of lay Buddhists, sectarians,
and spirit mediums. This book opens up a new field for scholars of
religion, ritual, music, and modern Chinese society.

By 1980, everyone from rock stars to royalty, from Boy George to
Diana, Princess of Wales, identified Stephen Jones as the milliner
who would help them make arresting headlines. Jones s creative
collaborations over the years have included partnerships with
designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Rei Kawakubo, John Galliano,
and Thom Browne. Stephen Jones: Souvenirs, written by Susannah
Frankel, one of fashion s most informed voices, describes Jones s
rise from London s street fashion scene to international runways,
showcasing the magic, allure, and wit of his iconic creations. It
also draws upon behind-the-scenes images, preparatory
illustrations, and personal photographs and ephemera to tell the
story of one of the most influential milliners of our time.
Beautifully designed and engaging, this delightful volume traces
the myriad ways that from runways to racecourses, from pop promos
to royal garden parties millinery by Stephen Jones adds the
exclamation point to every fashion statement. Stephen Jones is
considered one of the most impor- tant milliners of the late
twentieth and early twenty- first centuries. Susannah Frankel is
editor in chief of AnOther Magazine. From 1999 to 2012 she was
fashion editor of the Independent, and from 2013 to 2016 she was
fashion director of Grazia. Grace Coddington is the creative
director of American Vogue.
The living practice of Daoist ritual is still only a small part of
Daoist studies. Most of this work focuses on the southeast, with
the vast area of north China often assumed to be a tabula rasa for
local lay liturgical traditions. This book, based on fieldwork,
challenges this assumption. With case studies on parts of Hebei,
Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces, Stephen Jones describes
ritual sequences within funerals and temple fairs, offering details
on occupational hereditary lay Daoists, temple-dwelling priests,
and even amateur ritual groups. Stressing performance, Jones
observes the changing ritual scene in this poor countryside, both
since the 1980s and through all the tribulations of
twentieth-century warfare and political campaigns. The whole
vocabulary of north Chinese Daoists differs significantly from that
of the southeast, which has so far dominated our image. Largely
unstudied by scholars of religion, folk Daoist ritual in north
China has been a constant theme of music scholars within China.
Stephen Jones places lay Daoists within the wider context of folk
religious practices - including those of lay Buddhists, sectarians,
and spirit mediums. This book opens up a new field for scholars of
religion, ritual, music, and modern Chinese society.
This second volume of Stephen Jones' work on ritual and musical
life in north China, again with accompanying downloadable
resources, gives an impression of music-making in daily life in the
poor mountainous region of Shaanbei, northwest China. It conveys
some of the diverse musical activities there around 2000, from the
barrage of pop music blaring from speakers in the bustling
county-towns to the life-cycle and calendrical ceremonies of poor
mountain villages. Based on the practice of grass-roots
music-making in daily life, not merely on official images, the main
theme is the painful maintenance of ritual and its music under
Maoism, its revival with the market reforms of the 1980s, and its
modification under the assaults of TV, pop music, and migration
since the 1990s. The text is in four parts. Part One gives
background to the area and music-making in society. Parts Two and
Three discuss the lives of bards and shawm bands respectively,
describing modifications in their ceremonial activities through the
twentieth century. Part Four acclimatizes us to the modern world
with glimpses of various types of musical life in Yulin city, the
regional capital, illustrating the contrast with the surrounding
countryside. The 44-minute downloadable resources, with its
informative commentary, is intended both to illuminate the text and
to stand on its own. It shows bards performing at a temple fair and
to bless a family in distress, and shawm bands performing at a
wedding, at funerals, and a shop opening - including their pop
repertory with the 'big band'. Also featuring as part of these
events are opera troupes, geomancers, and performing beggars; by
contrast, the film shows a glimpse of the official image of
Shaanbei culture as presented by a state ensemble in the regional
capital. The publication will appeal to ethnomusicologists,
anthropologists, and all those interested in modern Chinese history
and society.
Welcome to a landscape of ancient evil . . . with stories by
masters of horror Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood, H. P.
Lovecraft, M. R. James , Ramsey Campbell, Storm Constantine,
Christopher Fowler, Alison Littlewood, Kim Newman, Reggie Oliver ,
Michael Marshall Smith, Karl Edward Wagner, and more! The darkness
that endures beneath the earth . . . the disquiet that lingers in
the woodland surrounding a forgotten path . . . those ancient
traditions and practices that still cling to standing stone
circles, earthworks, and abandoned buildings; elaborate rituals
that invoke elder gods or nature deities; the restless spirits and
legendary creatures that remain connected to a place or object, or
exist in deep wells and lonely pools of water, waiting to ensnare
the unwary traveler . . . These concepts have been the archetypes
of horror fiction for decades, but in recent years they have been
given a name: Folk Horror. This type of storytelling has existed
for more than a century. Authors Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood,
H. P. Lovecraft, and M. R. James all published fiction that had it
roots in the notion of the supernatural being linked to objects or
places "left behind." All four writers are represented in this
volume with powerful, and hopefully unfamiliar, examples of their
work, along with newer exponents of the craft such as Ramsey
Campbell, Storm Constantine, Christopher Fowler, Alison Littlewood,
Kim Newman, Reggie Oliver, and many others. Illustrated with the
atmospheric photography of Michael Marshall Smith, the stories in
The Mammoth Book of Folk Horror tap into an aspect of folkloric
tradition that has long been dormant, but never quite forgotten,
while the depiction of these forces as being in some way "natural"
in no way detracts from the sense of nameless dread and escalating
horror that they inspire . . .
Amazingly there has never been a book quite like EThe Art of
HorrorE a a celebration of frightful images compiled and presented
by some of the genre's most respected names. While acknowledging
the beginnings of horror-related art in legends and folk tales the
focus of the book is on how the genre has presented itself to the
world since the creations of Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley first
became part of the public consciousness in the 19th century. It's
all here: from early engravings a via dust jackets book
illustrations pulp magazines movie posters comic books and
paintings a to today's artists working entirely in the digital
realm.THEditor Stephen Jones and his stellar team of contributors
have sourced visuals from archives and private collections
(including their own) worldwide ensuring an unprecedented selection
that is accessible to those discovering the genre while also
including many images that will be rare and unfamiliar to even the
most committed fan.THFrom the shockingly lurid to the hauntingly
beautiful a including images of vampires werewolves zombies ghosts
demons serial killers alien invaders and more a every aspect of the
genre is represented in ten themed chapters. Quotes from
artists/illustrators and a selection from writers and filmmakers
are featured throughout.
The rich local traditions of musical life in rural China are still
little known. Music-making in village society is largely
ceremonial, and shawm bands account for a significant part of such
music. This is the first major ethnographic study of Chinese shawm
bands in their ceremonial and social context. Based in a poor
county in Shanxi province in northwestern China, Stephen Jones
describes the painful maintenance of ceremonial and its music there
under Maoism, its revival with the market reforms of the 1980s and
its modification under the assault of pop music since the 1990s.
Part One of the text explains the social and historical background
by outlining the lives of shawm band musicians in modern times.
Part Two looks at the main performing contexts of funerals and
temple fairs, whilst Part Three discusses musical features such as
instruments, scales, and repertories. The downloadable resources
consist of a 47-minute film in two parts, showing excerpts from
funerals and temple fairs (complementing Part Two of the text),
while a separate section contains a magnificent 1992 funerary
performance of a complete shawm-band suite. As a package, the book
and downloadable resources illuminate the whole ceremonial context
of music-making in rural China, illustrating the ritual-music
experience of villagers, with lay Daoist priests, opera troupes,
and beggars also making cameo appearances. While the modern stage
repertories of urban professionals remain our main exposure to
Chinese music, this publication is all the more valuable in showing
the daily musical experiences of the majority of people in China.
It will appeal to ethnomusicologists, anthropologists and all those
interested in modern Chinese history and society.
Under the direction of the renowned milliner Stephen Jones, who has
been working with Dior since 1996, this book explores Dior s
relationship with the art and craft of creating hats. Christian
Dior himself, who began his career by designing headpieces, wrote
in his Little Dictionary of Fashion: A hat is essential to any
outfit. It completes it. In a way, a hat is the best way to express
your personality. Published on the occasion of the 2020 exhibition
at the Musee Christian Dior in Granville, France, this
sophisticated illustrated volume celebrates more than 70 years of
exquisite creations. Opening with a focus on hats designed by the
legendary couturier Christian Dior, the book develops to include
the headdress created by the house over the years, exploring its
pieces by styles, shapes, and inspirations from floral and exotic
to masculine, traditional, or romantic. Dior hats have always been
expressions of sophistication, from the first millineries that were
part of the New Look silhouette, to the Venetian masks imagined by
Yves Saint Laurent, the exquisite toques by Marc Bohan, the
dramatic boaters by Gianfranco Ferre, the flamboyant and
extravagant realizations by John Galliano, the graphic neck bow by
Raf Simons, and the romantic designs by Maria Grazia Chiuri.
Stephen Jones reviews such fashion history and reflects on his
prolific relationship with the house. His insightful texts are
accompanied by contributions by fashion specialists Alexander Fury,
Natasha Fraser-Cavassoni, and Florence Muller, and enlivened by
drawings and photographs from Dior s archives, shots by the most
famed fashion photographers of the last decades, such as Richard
Avedon, Erwin Blumenfeld, Mario Testino, and special,
never-before-published images by Solve Sundsbo.

carefully curated MRI images and sections on neuroplasticity,
peripheral nerve architecture, peripheral nerve injury and
recovery, electrodiagnostic diagnosis of radiculopathy, tremor,
deep brain stimulation targets (and side effects), autonomic
disorders, altered states of consciousness, and spontaneous
intracerebral hemorrhage. Two sophisticated new chapters address
our current understanding of Memory and Neural Networks. Key
Features: Clinically pertinent anatomy is described succinctly and
in plain language The cardinal manifestations of regional nervous
system disorders facilitate localization of lesions Logical
approaches to system-based complaints aid in differential diagnosis
Learning objectives begin each chapter, graced by a variety of
easy-to-grasp conceptual drawings MRI images, new to this edition,
enrich and amplify the text The authors present a practical,
reader-friendly, and patient-centric approach to diagnosing
neurological disorders. Residents, fellows, and practitioners in
neurology, neurosurgery, and neuroradiology, and those studying for
board examinations, will enjoy reading this indispensable resource.
This is a new and refreshing introduction to the human species that places modern humans squarely in evolutionary perspective and treats evolution itself as a continuing genetic process in which every one of us is involved. Over seventy scholars worldwide have collaborated on the Encyclopedia, which is divided into ten main sections. Following a keynote introduction asking simply "What makes us human?", the coverage ranges widely: from genetics, primatology and fossil origins to human biology and ecology, brain function and behavior, and demography and disease. Emphasis is placed throughout on the biological diversity of modern people and the increasing convergence of the fossil and genetic evidence for human evolution that has emerged in recent years. Because of the need to look at humankind in the context of our closest relatives, the Encyclopedia also pays particular attention to the evolution and ecology of the living primates--lemurs, lorises, monkeys and apes. It deals with the evolution and ecology of human society, as reconstructed from archaeological remains, and from studies of indigenous peoples and living primates today. It considers the biology of uniquely human abilities such as language and upright walking, and it reviews the biological future of humankind in the face of challenges greater than those ever before experienced. Boxes highlighting key issues and techniques are provided throughout the text, and there are numerous maps, photographs, diagrams, and ready-reference tables--all the reader needs in a single volume to acquire a comprehensive knowledge of how humankind has developed and how scientists set about investigating the origin of our species.
The seventh edition of Criminology provides students with a
comprehensive analysis of the major criminological theories.
Drawing on a wide range of research in order to consider both
sociological and psychological explanations of criminal behaviour,
Jones poses the important questions, inviting readers to critically
engage with the subject. Thoroughly referenced and written in a
clear and accessible style, this book provides the firm foundation
of knowledge that students need to develop a strong and secure
understanding of criminological theory. Digital formats This book
is available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety
of formats. - The e-book offers a mobile experience and convenient
access along with functionality tools and navigation features that
offer extra learning support: www.oxfordtextbooks.co.uk/ebooks
The relationship between science and belief has been a prominent
subject of public debate for many years, one that has relevance to
everything from science communication, health and education to
immigration and national values. Yet, sociological analysis of
these subjects remains surprisingly scarce. This wide-ranging book
critically reviews the ways in which religious and non-religious
belief systems interact with scientific theories and practices.
Contributors explore how, for some secularists, 'science' forms an
important part of social identity. Others examine how many
contemporary religious movements justify their beliefs by making a
claim upon science. Moving beyond the traditional focus on the
United States, the book shows how debates about science and belief
are firmly embedded in political conflict, class, community and
culture.
