E-book About That Life : Barry Lopez and the Art of Community

Things got better after my first months in the city. I made a few friends, got a job through the new AmeriCorps program at a high school on the Lower East Side, and hung around with radi-cal environmental activists who wondered why anybody would leave New Hampshire for New York. But I was still unmoored. By my third year at NYU, I realized the world of professional theater was not…

E-book Comedy: A Very Short Introduction

To consider comedy in its many incarnations is to raise diverse but related questions: what, for instance, is humour, and how may it be used (or abused)? When do we laugh, and why?

Imagine what it is like to hear language for the first time. No, really: imagine. Did you picture yourself in a crib listening to your mother? Understandable, but think again.

E-book The Legacy of Elise Hall : Contemporary Perspectives on Gender and the…

It was in November 2021 that we shared the intriguing idea of co-editing a book project on the historical figure of saxophonist Elise Hall.

In the trickbox, concep…

E-book The Figure of Knowledge : Conditioning Architectural Theory, 1960s - 1…

In recent international literature addressing the history of twentieth-century archi-tectural theory, the year 1968 is often seen as a decisive moment, giving rise to a “new” architectural theory.

E-book Bromley Briefings Prison Factfile Winter 2022

In last year’s introduction to the Factfile I looked forward to the prospect of emerging from the Covid pandemic. How desperately mistaken that prediction has proved to be. Once again, for prisoners and their families, the pains of imprisonment have been terribly amplified by the restrictions imposed to prevent infection. Prisons have relaxed more slowly, and tightened up more quickly, than t…

E-book Urban Design Governance : Soft powers and the European experience

Europe has a long history of urbanisation, with the first cities dating back some 8,000 years. While the formal means of decision-making (if any) used to shape the form of these settlements are lost in the mists of time, it is highly likely that from the earliest times some form of control was enacted on where and how people could build. Inadvertent controls would certainly have di…

E-book The Botanical City

In Betty Smith’s description of the tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima), also known as the “ghetto palm,” the tree is contrasted with the memory of a school poem that evoked the “forest primeval” with its “murmuring pines and hemlocks.” For Smith, writing in the early 1940s, the presence of this tree was a marker, or even harbinger, of neighbourhood decline. The tree of heaven se…
