History.
Magomero is a vivid historical portrait of a Malawian village from 1859 to the present day. It focuses on a region which saw historically important political activity, in the founding of a colony of freed slaves and the rising of an independent church movement against white estate owners. With the dual concerns of a Southern African specialist and a poet, Landeg White offers an 'inside' view of social, political and economic change in Malawi, seen through the lives of individuals: the ordinary men and women, whose situation and poverty have hitherto prevented recognition of their vital contribution to African history.
This book is available in audiobook format, narrated by Kerry Fox: https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Females-in-the-Frame-Audiobook/B08PC6YSW1?asin=B08PC6YSW1&source_code=ASUOR22212112000M8 This book explores the untold history of women, art, and crime. It has long been widely accepted that women have not played an active role in the art crime world, or if they have, it has been the part of the victim or peacemaker. Women, Art, and Crime overturns this understanding, as it investigates the female criminals who have destroyed, vandalised, stolen, and forged art, as well as those who have conned clients and committed white-collar crimes in their professional occupations in museums, libraries, and galleries. Whether prompted by a desire for revenge, for money, the instinct to protect a loved one, or simply as an act of quality control, this book delves into the various motivations and circumstances of women art criminals from a wide range of countries, including the UK, the USA, New Zealand, Romania, Germany, and France. Through a consideration of how we have come to perceive art crime and the gendered language associated with its documentation, this pioneering study questions why women have been left out of the discourse to date and how, by looking specifically at women, we can gain a more complete picture of art crime history.
"This monograph presents a model of the artistic traditions and associated petroglyph production, suggesting five major phases for the Dampier Archipelago, and providing insights into a world that existed for Indigenous Australians over many thousands of years.".
This is the first book-length study of the archaeology of Australia's deserts, exploring the cultural and environmental history of these drylands.
The key concepts of data management systems that are applied to combinatorial and high-throughput chemical systems may also be applied to assist with answering questions involving conservation and cultural heritage materials. The chapter begins with an overview of conservation and explains what conservation is, why it is important, and how it is implemented for the preservation of cultural materials. The inherent value of most cultural materials imposes certain limitations on the types of analytical approaches that may be employed during analysis. An emphasis on noninvasive, nondestructive or microsampling is important to minimize the impact of analytical methodologies upon the artefact that is being studied, and multivariate approaches can maximize the information that may be derived from an analytical technique. In a review of nondestructive analysis and testing of museum objects, Adriaens (Spectrochimica Acta Part B: Atomic Spectroscopy 2005, 60 (12), 1503–1516) reiterates an important conservation principle, i.e. that we should aim for the maximization of information with a minimization of consumed volume of sample. Consistent with other applications in the fields of remote sensing, analysis of metadata and high-throughput or combinatorial approaches, methods for visualization of complex data, multivariate analysis and processing of high volumes of data, advanced data compression using data transformation and cluster analysis for data exploration and mining or pattern recognition are utilized. Cultural heritage studies are often directed at specific compositional and sample relational questions, due to the fact that little documentation about the specific preparation of the artefact exists. Also, because the analyst is dealing with natural materials with inherent sample variability, there is often little a priori knowledge of the sample set, so unsupervised approaches are useful for data exploration. This chapter presents a number of case studies that are used to illustrate the use of multivariate analysis (MVA) and chemometric approaches in studies of cultural artefacts and works of art. By deriving correlations, trends, clusters trajectory and anomalies or outliers in nonspatial and spatial data sets, a number of specific conservation issues are addressed. Firstly, in a multi-year study, the surface mineralogical profile of Australian Aboriginal Rock Art petroglyphs was examined using visible–near infrared reflectance spectroscopy and principal component analysis (PCA). A Cypriot pottery collection repaired with adhesives was studied using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and further historical information was revealed using PCA. The pigments and binding media used to decorate an Egyptian sarcophagus were examined with Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS) and X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy (XANES), and attribution studies of an Italian renaissance painting and imaging of ochre pigments using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) elemental imaging are presented.
Niall Ferguson's acclaimed bestseller on the highs and lows of Britain's empire 'A remarkably readable précis of the whole British imperial story - triumphs, deceits, decencies, kindnesses, cruelties and all' Jan Morris Once vast swathes of the globe were coloured imperial red and Britannia ruled not just the waves, but the prairies of America, the plains of Asia, the jungles of Africa and the deserts of Arabia. Just how did a small, rainy island in the North Atlantic achieve all this? And why did the empire on which the sun literally never set finally decline and fall? Niall Ferguson's acclaimed Empire brilliantly unfolds the imperial story in all its splendours and its miseries, showing how a gang of buccaneers and gold-diggers planted the seed of the biggest empire in all history - and set the world on the road to modernity. 'The most brilliant British historian of his generation ... Ferguson examines the roles of "pirates, planters, missionaries, mandarins, bankers and bankrupts" in the creation of history's largest empire ... he writes with splendid panache ... and a seemingly effortless, debonair wit' Andrew Roberts 'Dazzling ... wonderfully readable' New York Review of Books 'Empire is a pleasure to read and brims with insights and intelligence' Sunday Times
