Cora Sheibani's jewels are the product of a highly active
imagination. Her creations are designed to surprise and delight -
miniature cakes and jellies that look good enough to eat; rings and
bracelets that glow in the dark; shimmering clouds with diamond
raindrops; jewels that stare back at you, and plant pots billowing
with vegetation. Her design handwriting is predicated on a bold
sense of form and colour, allied with a playful, contradictory
mindset. Her design philosophy is to make jewellery she herself
wants to wear and in doing so, she trusts that her customers in
turn will appreciate and value her personal aesthetic. Cora
Sheibani - Jewels is published to mark the 20th anniversary of Cora
Sheibani's eponymous brand.
Written by a member of the last generation of British Colonial
Service Officers in Africa, the book seeks to place both colonial
rulers and their African successors in the context of history and
the circumstances of their time, viewing their achievements and
failures critically but not unsympathetically and comparing
colonial society with that of the independent African country that
Northern Rhodesia has become. Colonialism is viewed at the day to
day level of the administration of a rural district by four
officers and a handful of African district messengers, who worked
together without even a telephone to assist them. With a wealth of
detail that can only come from experience, Granta (TM)s work makes
an important contribution to the understanding of a time, place,
period and practices that are only now being considered in a
balanced way.
First published in 1913, this book was originally intended as a
manual for students in Scottish training colleges and for teachers
of English in Scottish schools. Grant supplies passages from
well-known literature translated into the phonetic alphabet for
both the declamatory and conversational styles. This book will be
of value to anyone with an interest in the history of phonetics and
the presentation of Scottish accents to an English audience.
Originally published in 1921, this book was intended for
non-Scottish students of Scottish literature as a guide for
recitation and declamation of Scottish pieces. The text is divided
into three parts: the first gives the phonetic symbols for the
sounds of modern Scots, the second contrasts Scots grammar with
standard English usage and gives illustrations from Scottish
literature, and the third contains extracts from modern Scots
writers with phonetic transcriptions on the facing page. This book
will be of value to anyone with an interest in the pronunciation of
Scottish literature or in Scottish phonetics more generally.
