Memories of Tiananmen: Politics and Processes of Collective
Remembering in Hong Kong, 1989-2019 analyzes how collective memory
regarding the 1989 Beijing student movement and the Tiananmen
crackdown was produced, contested, sustained, and transformed in
Hong Kong between 1989 and 2019. Drawing on data gathered through
multiple sources such as news reports, digital media content,
on-site vigil surveys, population surveys, and in-depth interviews
with activists, rally participants, and other stakeholders, it
identifies six key processes in the dynamics of social remembering:
memory formation, memory mobilization, memory institutionalization,
intergenerational transfer, memory repair, and memory
balkanization. The book demonstrates how a socially dominant
collective memory, even one the state finds politically irritable,
can be generated and maintained through constant negotiation and
efforts by a wide range of actors. While Memories of Tiananmen
mainly focuses on the interplay between political changes and the
Tiananmen commemoration in the historical period within which the
society enjoyed a significant degree of civil liberties, it also
discusses how the trajectory of the collective memory may take a
drastic turn as Hong Kong's autonomy is abridged. The book promises
to be a key reference for anyone interested in collective memory
studies, social movement research, political communication, and
China and Hong Kong studies.

The classic and gorgeous accounts of two legendary naturalists'
journeys through summer and winter in the north country-in two new
stand-alone paperback editions When Canoe Country and Snowshoe
Country were first published, in 1938 and 1944, respectively,
readers were charmed by their enchanting portrayal of the
wilderness of northern Minnesota. Florence Page Jaques and her
husband, Francis Lee Jaques, became celebrated champions of the
Boundary Waters and its majestic environs. Now, these classic books
are both back in print as paperback editions. A well-traveled New
York sophisticate, Florence Page Jaques fell in love with northern
Minnesota during her first trips to the region, and she recounted
those early experiences in Canoe Country and Snowshoe Country. She
writes of the excitement of traveling by foot, canoe, snowshoe, and
dogsled. Weeks of solitude canoeing through the Boundary Waters are
interrupted by encounters with the denizens of the north country.
In these two volumes, her vivid stories are matched by her famous
husband's spectacular drawings; Francis Lee Jaques captures the
delicate power of Minnesota's seasons, from the cascading falls of
summer to the frozen lakes of winter.

'A superb book and a must-read for any City fan.' - DANIEL TAYLOR,
senior writer, The Athletic 'A thorough and delicious retelling of
perhaps not the most successful of European journeys, but
definitely the most interesting ... Fantastic.' - DAVID MOONEY, BBC
Radio 5 Live 'A book that brilliantly explodes the myth that City
have no history or pedigree in Europe.' - SIMON MULLOCK, chief
football writer, Sunday Mirror THE ESSENTIAL NEW HISTORY OF
MANCHESTER CITY'S EUROPEAN TRIUMPHS AND TRAGEDIES FEATURING A
FOREWORD BY CITY LEGEND FRANCIS LEE As one of the first English
sides to taste glory in Europe, lifting the Cup Winners' Cup in
1970, City looked set for life among the continent's elite. But as
their domestic fortunes went from bad to worse to absolute
calamity, the wilderness returned. Avid City fan and respected
journalist Simon Curtis dusts off the details of some truly
intoxicating away days. Filled with tales of the club's travelling
support and the evocative accounts of the journalists who saw the
team of the Seventies, Curtis tells the story of a club steeped in
history, defiantly refusing to bow to pomp and ceremony as it goes
about lifting the ultimate prize. After a spectacular rebuild and
having achieved all there is to achieve on the domestic stage,
including a record-breaking 100-point season in 2017-18, City's
deep-pocketed owners have their sights firmly set on European glory
once more. Yet for all their recent success at home, they are
anything but welcome guests at Europe's top table.
