Mudlark'd - Hidden Histories from the River Thames (Hardcover): Malcolm Russell Mudlark'd - Hidden Histories from the River Thames (Hardcover)
Malcolm Russell; Photographs by Matthew Williams-Ellis
R637 Discovery Miles 6 370 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

'Beautiful and poignant' The Art Newspaper 'Absorbing... a magnificent book' Mail on Sunday The first illustrated book on mudlarking that tells the captivating stories of forgotten people through objects recovered from the river Thames. Combining insights from 200 eclectic objects discovered on the Thames foreshore, meticulous historical research and contextual illustrations, Mudlark'd uncovers the hidden histories of forgotten people from all over the world. Beginning in each case with a particular find, Malcolm Russell tells the stories of the people who owned, made or used such objects, revealing the habits, customs and crafts not only of those living in London but also of those passing through, from continental Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia and Australia. In the 18th and 19th centuries London was the busiest port in the world, exchanging goods, ideas, people and power with every continent. The Thames long acted as London's water source, shipyard, thoroughfare and rubbish dump. Its banks have been densely packed with taverns, brothels, markets and workplaces, and scavengers - known as mudlarks - have scoured them since at least the 18th century. Consequently, the Thames today offers a repository of intriguing objects that evoke ways of life long forgotten. A delicate bone hair pin uncovers the story of Roman ornatrices - enslaved hairdressers. A counterfeit coin reveals the heritage of millions of Australians. Glass beads expose the brutal dynamics of the transatlantic slave trade. Clay tobacco pipes uncover the lives of Edwardian women parachutists and Victorian magicians. A scrap of Tudor cloth illuminates the stories of Dutch and French religious refugees. The book also includes a primer, giving step-by-step advice on how to mudlark on tidal rivers and how to identify commonly made finds.

Building in Cob, Pise and Stabilized Earth (Hardcover, Facsimile Of 1947 Ed): Clough Williams-Ellis Building in Cob, Pise and Stabilized Earth (Hardcover, Facsimile Of 1947 Ed)
Clough Williams-Ellis
R1,536 Discovery Miles 15 360 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This study, first published in 1919 then substantially revised in 1947, was based on experiments undertaken by the author into the use of pise de terre and other earth-based materials. It was written at a time when traditional building resources such as brick and timber were in short supply, and there was a need to consider the potential for using alternative materials in construction. Whilst earth building has not developed significantly in the UK, the sustainable architecture movement has helped to stimulate an interest in constructing new earthen buildings. This, coupled with an increasing awareness of the importance of conserving and maintaining our existing stock of earth structures, allows this book to serve as both a historical document and a source of advice and guidance.

Aristotle; Translated by William Ellis; Illustrated by Evi-O. Studio
R474 R388 Discovery Miles 3 880 Save R86 (18%) Ships in 9 - 15 working days

A timeless study of politics and society by one of the all-time greatest thinkers. A student of Plato, Aristotle is considered a founding father of philosophy and ethics. This reflection on the role of government, and an individual's role within it, remains as prescient and relevant now as when it was written. One of the most influential books in history, Politics has influenced the greatest thinkers of the last 1,000 years and is a crucial book for those interested in evaluating the way our societies are structured. Part of a boldly designed series of classics, with wider margins for notes, this book is perfect for design-lovers and students alike. With bold, eye-catching graphic covers by Evi O Studio, this collection aims to introduce a selection of the most celebrated works of the last thousand years to a new audience. Featuring tales of adventure, fiction from the 19th and 20th centuries, feminist writings, and reflections on art, politics, philosophy and the origins of man, this is a small, wide-reaching and essential collection. 'Man is naturally a political animal.'
