SPUD, a new book by Brian Griffin, inspired by a residency in
Bethune-Bruay in Northern France, marks the centenary of the end of
World War I. Last year, Griffin spent three weeks in the French
town, near the site of the Battle of the Somme and, also a large
McCain potato factory - one of the largest potato production plants
in Europe, producing around 1700 tons of frozen chips each day.
With the coincidence of `SPUD', the informal British word for
potato also being slang for low ranking British soldiers in World
War I, Griffin explores the relationship between the potatoes grown
in the soil and the soldiers who were killed in the very same
place, over 100 years ago.

Recognised as one of the UK's most important photographers of the
last forty years, Brian Griffin grew up near Birmingham amongst the
factories of the Black Country. His parents were factory workers
and from birth Griffin seemed set to follow in their footsteps. And
so, on leaving school at the age 16, he began working in a factory,
just like everyone else around him. A year later he moved to
British Steel working as a trainee pipework engineering estimator
in a job that involved costing systems for the nuclear power
stations that were then being built. He remained there four years
before escaping the tedium of the office by enrolling to study
photography at Manchester College of Art. Griffin has exhibited and
published widely. In 1989 he had a one-man show at the National
Portrait Gallery, London. The same year The Guardian newspaper
selected him as 'The Photographer of the Decade' and LIFE magazine
used his photograph 'A Broken Frame' as the covershot for their
feature 'Greatest Photographs of the Eighties'. During the 1990s
Brian Griffin retired from photography and focused on directing
advertising, pop videos and short films. He returned to photography
in 2001, reestablishing himself once again at the pinacle of
British Photography.
The authors believe transitional science fiction writer and critic
Brian Aldiss represents the evolutionary leap from the older
pulp/adventure science fiction to the post new wave genre. They
compare his work to that of the early mainstream literary
modernists. While science fiction revives the modernist spirit and
possesses its ranges, the authors maintain only Aldiss has taken
advantage of that potential. His works embody both the potential
and contradictions in new wave science fiction. Griffin and
Wingrove emphasize the remarkable continuity of Aldiss's work.
Neither rebel against the science fiction tradition nor
transgressor of literary values, Aldiss is, for the authors, a
model of literary survival.
'Laboratory Design Guide' takes the reader through the complex
stages of laboratory design and construction, offering practical
advice and detailed examples.
Brian Griffin's working manual covers the latest designs for new
and evolving laboratory practices and equipment and includes
current and future requirements for laboratories such as
automation. Case studies illustrate the points made and represent
the international view of the principles of laboratory design.
'Laboratory Design Guide' will prove invaluable to all those
responsible for the design of laboratory buildings: the client;
architect; engineer; building project manager and scientist.
Brian Griffin is a full-time laboratory design consultant. His 15
years' experience in this field have resulted in many published
articles on the subject and numerous lectures to laboratory
managers and scientists. This close contact with the industry has
increased Brian Griffin's awareness of the trends in laboratory
practice and the need for effective design of new facilities.
