A comprehensive bibliography and exhibition chronology of the
world's greatest museum of the decorative arts and design. The
Victoria and Albert Museum, or South Kensington Museum as it used
to be known, was founded by the British Government in 1852, out of
the proceeds from the Great Exhibition of 1851. Like the
Exhibition, it aimed to improve the expertise of designers, and the
taste of the public, by exposing them to examples of good design
from all countries and periods.
2,500 publications have to date been produced by, for, or in
association with the V&A. The National Art Library, which is
part of the Museum, has prepared this detailed catalogue,
supplemented by a secondary list of 500 other books closely related
to the V&A. The 1,500 exhibitions and displays recorded include
those held in the main Museum and at its branches, the Bethnal
Green Museum (now the National Museum of Childhood) and the Theatre
Museum, Covent Garden, and additionally those it has organized at
external venues, in Great Britain and abroad. The exhibitions and
publications are fully cross-referenced, and there are name, title
and subject indexes to the whole work, as well as an explanatory
introduction.
Sea of Troubles has been designed for classroom teachers struggling
to address the overwhelming issues facing our world today. By
embracing the Common Core's emphasis on the inclusion of more
nonfiction, informational texts, the authors have demonstrated how
to incorporate meaningful informational texts into their favorite
units of literature. Sea of Troubles shows teachers how literature
and informational texts can work together, to enhance each other,
and, by extension, enhance student's abilities to critically think
and respond to the sea of troubles that pervades society.

This book is ideal for the thousands of teachers who entered the
profession in the last ten years and taught prescribed curriculum
geared toward end of year bubble testing. Its intent is to empower
districts and their teachers to create their own (free!) curriculum
that will exceed the expectations of Common Core assessments, as
well as create life-long learners that are college and career
ready. By employing inquiry based units of study that insist on the
use of iconic literature at the center, students will be more
prepared for what awaits them with Common Core exams.

The collected papers in this volume present a unique introduction both to the history of women, of men and eunuchs, or the third sex, in Byzantium and to the various theoretical and methodological approaches through which the topic can be examined. The contributors use evidence from both texts and images to give a wide-ranging picture of the place of women and Byzantine society and the perceptions of women held by that society. Women, Men and Eunuchs offers a unique and valuable exploration of the issue of gender in Byzantium, which will fascinate anyone interested in ancient and medieval history and gender studies.

various artwork to offer a broad picture of the place of women and
Byzantine society and the perceptions of women held by that
society.

This unique history brings together more than 150 spectacular
objects from the National Art Library's collection of literature,
prints, drawings and photographs. Housed within the V&A, the
library was, from the beginning, an integral part of the Museum,
formed by, and for, artists and designers as an essential element
of the educational and museological project of Prince Albert and
Henry Cole after the Great Exhibition of 1851. Word & Image
shows how the distinct character of the NAL was formed, and how its
collections created a new kind of bibliographical resource. From a
fifteenth-century book of hours to William Morris's specimen pages
for Jean Froissart's The Chronicles of Fraunce, Inglande, and Other
Places Adjoynynge; from George Cruikshank's studies of Fagin for
Oliver Twist to an Yves Saint Laurent design for the House of Dior;
and from Bill Brandt's photographs to the Book of Nails by Floating
Concrete Octopus, Word & Image explores some of the finest
examples of 'book art' in existence.
John Lockwood Kipling (1837-1911) started his career as an
architectural sculptor at the South Kensington Museum (today the
Victoria and Albert Museum). Much of his life, however, was spent
in British India, where his son Rudyard was born. He taught at the
Bombay School of Art and later was appointed principal of the new
Mayo School of Art (today Pakistan's National College of Art and
Design) as well as curator of its museum in Lahore. Over several
years, Kipling toured the northern provinces of India, documenting
the processes of local craftsmen, a cultural preservation project
that provides a unique record of 19th-century Indian craft customs.
This is the first book to explore the full spectrum of artistic,
pedagogical, and archival achievements of this fascinating man of
letters, demonstrating the sincerity of his work as an artist,
teacher, administrator, and activist. Published in association with
