In 2008 Jason Bell undertook a photo assignment for American Vogue in 'Tea & Sympathy', an English tea room in the heart of Manhattan. In conversation with the owner, Nicky Perry, he was astonished to discover that over 120,000 British men and women lived in New York City. As an Englishman, himself living in New York, Jason was inspired by this and decided to investigate further. His latest book An Englishman in New York is the result. The book documents a wide cross-section of English people living in the City. It features cops, taxi drivers, construction workers, divers, helicopter pilots, chefs, burlesque dancers, UN ambassadors and even dog walkers. Jason was also struck by the significant influence that many Brits exercise on New York's cultural agenda, which led to him to include amongst his subjects: writer, ZoA" Heller; director, Stephen Daldry; artists, Cecily Brown and Bill Jacklin; Director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Thomas P Campbell; historian, Simon Schama; actor, Kate Winslet; and the musician, Sting. The book offers an extraordinary insight into the British sub-culture which forms an intrinsic part of everyday life in New York City. As Bell says, "I went for a walk in Central Park with Sting, for a cup of tea on Kate Winslet's roof terrace, sat on ZoA" Heller's stoop and watched Stephen Daldry cycle down 8th Avenue. I was given a private tour of both the Metropolitan Museum and Barneys' shop windows. And amidst all the questions about why people had come here and what they had left behind, I learnt a little bit more about what it means to be English, what it means to be a New Yorker, and where the two intersect."

Celebrating the Sydney Olympic Games, this book is a tribute to the great Olympic athletes past and present. Jason Bell has spent the last three years travelling to meet and photograph the leading sportsmen and women. This has given him unique access to their private worlds enabling him to present a side of them rarely seen by their audience. The photographs from the book will be exhibited at the Olympic Village during the games and at the Commonwealth Institute from September - December 2000. A magnificent work illustrated with 90 full-colour plates.

Beginning in September of 1924, Alfred North Whitehead presented a regular course of 85 lectures which concluded in May of 1925. These represent the first ever philosophy lectures he gave and capture him working out the philosophical implications of the remarkable turns physics had taken in his lifetime.This first volume in the critical edition shares these lectures by transcribing notes by W. P. Bell, W. E. Hocking and Louise Heath taken at the time ? many of which have only recently been discovered. These notes provide unique insight into what emerges from this extensive course of lectures being given in the very months during which Whitehead is drafting his seminal work, Science and the Modern World.

This volume finally recreates the first philosophy lectures given by Alfred North Whitehead by transcribing notes and sketches by W. P. Bell, W. E. Hocking and Louise Heath taken at the time.

Dieser Band der Husserliana Materialien enthalt die Erstveroeffentlichung der Dissertation von Winthrop Pickard Bell (1894-1965), dem ersten englischsprachigen Doktoranden Edmund Husserls. In seiner Arbeit untersucht Bell die Erkenntnistheorie seines einstigen Harvard-Professors, dem amerikanischen Pragmatisten und Idealisten Josiah Royce, und entwickelt hierzu eine Kritik vom Standpunkt der Husserl'schen Erkenntnisphanomenologie. Husserl selbst hatte ihn gebeten, uber dieses Thema zu forschen. Die Beilagen dieses Bandes beinhalten Husserls Kommentare und AEnderungsvorschlage zu der Arbeit sowie die 1922 im "Jahrbuch der philosophischen Fakultat in Goettingen" erschienene Zusammenfassung derselben. Nachdem Winthrop Bell zwei Jahre in Harvard bei Josiah Royce studiert hatte, kam er 1910 nach Leipzig. Hier und spater in Goettingen befasste er sich mit Husserls Phanomenologie und schloss sich dem Kreis der Studenten an, der sich um Husserl und Reinach als "Goettinger philosophische Gesellschaft" gebildet hatte. Im Sommer 1914 stellte Bell seine Dissertation schliesslich zu einem denkbar ungunstigen Zeitpunkt fertig. Als kanadischer Staatsburger - und somit Burger eines Landes der feindlichen Alliierten - wurde er mit Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs im August 1914 inhaftiert und verbrachte fast die gesamte Kriegszeit in einem Gefangenenlager bei Berlin. Das Dissertationsverfahren konnte erst im Jahr 1922 abgeschlossen werden. Im Zuge dieser Turbulenzen erschien 1922 lediglich eine Zusammenfassung von Bells Doktorarbeit im "Jahrbuch der philosophischen Fakultat in Goettingen", die Arbeit selbst blieb bis 2012 in Kanada unter Verschluss. Auf Husserls nachdruckliche Empfehlung trat Bell jedoch 1922 eine Professur in Harvard an und trug massgeblich zur Verbreitung der Husserl'schen Phanomenologie in Nordamerika bei.

In this edition, we unlock Africa's regional and domestic travel potential by exploring the continent's internet and mobile phone growth (page 12) and how the digital revolution has upended travel distribution (page 15). We also look at how hotels are boosting their room sales across Africa (page 10), we have advice on the taxing problem of VAT invoices (page 08), the ongoing controversy surrounding rhino conservation (page 18), and we unpack Star Grading in South Africa (page 22).
