Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
In the current book, Msgr. Philip Hughes does not repeat the work
of others, important as it has been. Using the Reformation as a
jumping-off point, in Rome and the Counter-Reformation in England
he focuses on the ultimately unsuccessful attempts by both the Holy
See and local Catholics to bring England back to the One True
Faith. Ending with reigns of Kings James I and Charles I, he paints
a picture that is of utmost importance to English-speaking
Catholics today. Read this book carefully; let us forget our 20/20
hindsight, and remember that the issues that were so confusing to
our truly brave and noble forbears were as bewildering and
threatening to them as the ones that face us now are to us. When we
disagree over tactics in facing them with our brother Catholics,
let us remember that the man or woman, with whom we may differ, may
be holier than we ourselves-something of which none of us this side
of the grave tend to be great judges. -Charles A. Coulombe.

A new selection from Philip Hughes' unpublished notebooks going
back over twenty-five years. In an astonishing collection of
twenty-seven notebooks created over a quarter of a century, Philip
Hughes has sought to capture the spirit of a place: its geological
structure, its relationship with the surrounding landscape, and its
occasional signs of human intervention. These painterly but
topographically precise notebooks record moments when the artist
has been moved to draw what he can see, whether from the shelter of
a standing stone in Orkney, Scotland, from the air over the Simpson
desert in Australia, or from a postal boat sailing through the
Norwegian fjords. Pieced together by Hughes himself from over a
thousand drawings, this is a logbook of momentary observations.
Some are swift sketches of fields or horizons, others are slower
studies of lichen and flowers in Antarctica, or lines of quartz in
granite in Cornwall. The depth of feeling and knowledge Hughes has
for different terrains and climates underpins the beauty of this
essential and inspiring selection of notebooks.
In over 140 superbly reproduced artworks, the artist Philip Hughes
records eleven iconic walks across the length and breadth of
Britain, from Allt Coire Pheiginn in Scotland to Zennor Head in
Cornwall. Inspired and informed by maps, aerial photographs and
electronic survey techniques, Hughes's clean, spacious artworks,
with their arresting blocks of colour, make contemporary some of
the most ancient and formidable landmarks of the British Isles.
Hughes's artworks - often incorporating written notes,
archaeological scans and contour maps - feature important heritage
sites, including Neolithic settlements such as Maes Howe in Orkney,
standing stones such as Stonehenge, the Three Peaks in Yorkshire,
or places of particular mystery and beauty such as Silbury Hill,
the oldest and tallest artificial mound in Europe. Notebook spreads
contain exquisite drawings and paintings made on the spot and vivid
extracts from Hughes's diaries and notes, help to evoke the mood
and atmosphere of the awe-inspiring landscapes. Complete with an
enlightening introduction by writer Kay Syrad and short prefaces to
each of the sections by Hughes himself, this beautiful, reflective
book will resonate with artists, walkers and anyone who shares a
love of ancient sites in the landscape.
Storytelling Exhibitions describes the role and practice of modern
'spatial storytellers' and looks at the potential of exhibitions to
shape our understanding of the world. It explains how curators,
designers, artists and scientists combine to tell powerful stories
through exhibition design. Exhibition designer and educator Philip
Hughes shows how contemporary tools and technologies - digital
reconstruction, 3D scanning and digital archives - interweave with
traditional forms of informing, displaying and promoting to create
powerful narrative spaces. Whether telling stories of politics,
trends, society, war, science or history, Storytelling Exhibitions
provides inspiration and guidance on designing installations which
change the way we think. Examples included from: Te Papa,
Wellington, New Zealand National Museum of African American History
and Culture, Washington, USA Weltmuseum Wien, Austria Santa Cruz
Museum of Art and History, US Lascaux: Centre International de
l'Art Parietal in Montignac, France Stapferhaus, Lenzburg,
Switizerland Micropia, Amsterdam, Netherlands ...and many more
Forensic Music Therapy demonstrates diverse and innovative
approaches, which include live, improvised and pre-composed music,
from music therapy teams working in secure treatment settings. The
book covers clinical development, research, supervision and
discussion of institutional and multi-disciplinary team dynamics.
It will inform professionals about different ways to manage
challenging situations in order to deliver music therapy with
adults and adolescents who have committed offences, men and women
with personality disorders and mental health problems, as well as
men who have killed. The book also describes the development of
Cognitive Analytic Music Therapy: the first manualised form of
music therapy to be used in the rehabilitation of offenders.
Chapters include case studies and service developments informed by
theories from an established range of psychological therapies
including psychoanalysis, cognitive analytic therapy, musicology
and forensic psychotherapy. The significant variations and
considerations when working in low, medium and high secure
treatment settings are also clarified. This book will give music
therapists, forensic and clinical psychotherapists and
psychologists, cognitive analytic therapists, psychiatrists, and
others working in the field a wider understanding of choices, as
well as demonstrating the effectiveness of tailored music therapy
programmes for this complex client group.
