Welcome to Unicorn Publishing Group’s Autumn 2017 catalogue From Spring to Autumn and Autumn to Spring, our front and back end lists continue to grow with the seasons. For Autumn ’17 our cultural history imprint Unicorn features significant books on three major institutions: Longford Castle: The Treasures and Collectors about the National Gallery and family owned art therein; Cadogan & Chelsea: The Makings of a Modern Estate celebrating the tercentenary of the family estate and recognising the significance therein; and Farm Street: The Story of the Jesuits’ Church in London about the iconic Mayfair place of worship and the objets de virtu therein. Additionally we feature our first collaboration with The Georgian Society, Splendour, a precursor to their bicentenary book. Unicorn also launches The Art of the Soviet Union, the first of three four-book box sets, which will be the definitive guide to the art of Russia and beyond. Our military history imprint Uniform leads with a new edition of the great war classic In Flanders Fields and an interesting study on warfare from renowned historian Peter Doyle, Disputed Earth: Geology and Trench Warfare on the Western Front. From Belgian author Kristof Jacobs, we bring to light the lesser-known role of the British Army in the northernmost part of Flanders in Nieuwpoort Sector 1917: The Battle of the Dunes. Unicorn Sales & Distribution is pleased to announce that it now represents London Transport Museum and is presenting the first list of titles in this catalogue. Our publisher client The Imperial War Museum features Churchill’s War in Words and Eve in Overalls and the box set War Art. We have digital news too: we have now appointed Faber to be our e-books publishing partner and Muse Books to be our online art books partner. As always, we hope you enjoy reading our titles as much as we enjoy publishing and marketing them. Lord Strathcarron Chairman 4 LM HB CUBA/2_Layout 1 02/02/2017 17:00 Page 21

Longford Castle
The Treasures & The Collectors Amelia Smith Longford Castle is a fine Elizabethan country house, home to a world-class collection of art built up in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by the Bouverie family and still owned today by their descendants. Until now, it has been relatively less known amongst the pantheon of English country houses. This book, richly illustrated and based on extensive scholarly research into the family archive, tells a comprehensive story of the collectors who amassed these treasures. It explores the acquisition and commission of works of art from Holbein’s Erasmus and The Ambassadors, to exquisite landscapes by Claude and Poussin, and family portraits by Thomas Gainsborough and Sir Joshua Reynolds. It explores how Longford, an unusual triangular-shaped castle that inspired Sir Philip Sidney’s Arcadia and Disney’s The Princess Diaries, was decorated and furnished to house these works of fine art. The book brings the story up to the present day, with an introduction and conclusion by the current owner, the 9th Earl of Radnor, himself a keen collector of art, to celebrate this remarkable house and collection. Amelia Smith grew up in Surrey and attended university in London, where she is currently completing her PhD. Amelia Smith graduated with a First Class degree in History of Art at University College London in 2012, where she was awarded the Gombrich Prize and Zilkha Prize in 2012. She went on to gain an MA in Curating the Art Museum at the Courtauld Institute of Art in 2013, leading to a curatorial internship at the National Portrait Gallery, researching for the exhibition ‘The Great War in Portraits’ (2014). 4

Cadogan & Chelsea
The Making of a Modern Estate Beatrice Behlen, Amber Butchart, John Julius Cooper, Brent Elliott, Alan Powers, John Simpson, Alwyn Turner The Cadogan Estate in Chelsea is one of the few remaining ancient family estates in London, covering one of the capital’s most dynamic, thriving and fashionable districts. The foundations of the Cadogan Estate were established in 1717 when Charles, 2nd Baron Cadogan, married the daughter of Sir Hans Sloane, who had purchased the Manor of Chelsea in 1712. Beautifully illustrated, this collection of essays by expert commentators looks at the history and lineage of this noble family and the formation of the estates as we know it today, focusing on the architectural and horticultural heritage that has shaped the built environment of the area, the economic and social impact of the two world wars, twentieth-century arts and culture, pioneering fashion trends and the changing face of retail in Chelsea. Beatrice Behlen is Senior Curator of Fashion and Decorative Arts at the Museum of London. Amber Butchart is a fashion historian and author working across cultural heritage, broadcasting and academia. John Julius Cooper, 2nd Viscount Norwich, is an historian and travel writer. Brent Elliott is an author, lecturer and historian of the Royal Horticultural Society. Alan Powers is a teacher, researcher and writer specialising in twentieth-century architecture and design. John Simpson is a foreign correspondent and world affairs editor of BBC News. Alwyn Turner is a non-fiction author specialising in the cultural and political history of Britain, including fashion, film and music.

Farm Street
The Story of the Jesuit’s Church in London Michael Hall, Sheridan Gilley and Maria Perry with special photography by Andrew Twort Building in Victorian Mayfair, but on an inauspicious site between some stables and a workhouse, the Jesuit fathers were anxious that the architecture and decoration of their London church should match its spiritual significance. Their architects created an interior of exceptional beauty and opulence, befitting the church’s Marian dedication. Farm Street grew to become a powerhouse of British Catholicism, witnessing influential sermons by leading thinkers and the conversion to Rome of such prominent figures as Evelyn Waugh, Edith Sitwell and Lord Longford. This sumptuous book, whose proceeds support the ministry of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, tells the remarkable story of one of London’s great Catholic institutions. Michael Hall, formerly Architectural Editor of Country Life and then Editor of Apollo, writes widely on architectural history. Sheridan Gilley is Emeritus Reader in the Department of Theology and Religion in the University of Durham and Honorary Fellow in Catholic History in its Centre for Catholic Studies. Maria Perry is a Tudor historian who has also written four books about London and has worshipped regularly at Farm Street since 1975. Andrew Twort has taken photographs for over three decades for a wide range of clients, among them Architectural Digest USA, The World of Interiors, the Romo Group, Osborne & Little, Candy & Candy and a host of interior designers. This is his fourth complete book commission, and one of many titles in which his work has featured throughout his career.

Slow Growth
On the Art of Landscape Architecture Hal Moggridge OBE, VMH, PLI, FIHort, RIBA The art of landscape architecture is in need of description and illustration in the broad comprehensive terms adopted by this book. Ideas and techniques of naturalistic landscape design are explored in eleven chapters, mainly illustrated by the author’s own projects from before the era of digital presentation. Description of design processes is sometimes broadened into anecdotes arising from a working life. A modernised form of the naturalistic landscape design approach invented in England in the eighteenth century is shown still to be relevant for contemporary life. The first four chapters discuss human response to landscape and to being outdoors in the British Isles, concluding with examples of design organised by understanding how people move on foot. The eighteenth century natualistic English landscape style is then explored through a series of historic restoration projects, followed by twentieth century projects for rural parks and lakes, a direct evolution from this tradition. Included is a discussion on the idea of man-made projects moving from rural settings to cities as urban landscape. One chapter analyses urban views and skylines and how these can be safeguarded. The sweeping scope of the book displays the breadth of landscape architecture. Hal Moggridge was principal of Colvin & Moggridge, the oldest surviving British landscape practice, from 1969, when he joined the late Brenda Colvin who founded the practice in 1922, until 1977 when he became a consultant, a position he still enjoys. 12

John Hubbard
Remaking Landscape ‘Whatever else,’ John Hubbard says, ‘this is not another artist’s monograph. I’ve already had a good deal written about my work in reviews, prefaces to exhibition catalogues, or as journalism. So, from what seem to me the most interesting, I have selected excerpts that relate to work either mentioned or illustrated in the text which I have prepared from entries in the diary which I have kept since 1967. I regard this book as an opportunity to interpret various events in my life in my own way; its purpose being to build a sense of intimacy which also has a flexible, entertaining structure. If it provides a brief facsimile profile of my painting and drawing, it will stand as a retrospective exhibition in itself.’ In a long and productive life, John Hubbard met and got to know a wide circle of other artists and creative people. The notes from his diaries make fascinating reading. John Hubbard (1931–2017) was born in the USA, in Ridgefield, Connecticut. After Harvard and military service in Japan during the Korean war, he studied art in the ambience of New York abstract expressionism before moving to Europe in 1958. Hubbard lived in Rome for two years then came to the UK where he settled in Dorset which has been his home ever since. Here, with his wife, Caryl, he created a garden well-known to connoisseurs. As a frequent traveller, seeking inspiration for his painting, Hubbard has been to all parts of the British Isles and to countries throughout the world including France, Greece, Morocco, Spain and Malaysia.

Lansdowne
The Last Great Whig Simon Kerry
A remarkable figure of British politics between the late Victorian and interwar years, Lord Lansdowne was among the last hereditary aristocrats to wield power by birth. Over the course of a distinguished fifty-year career he served as Governor-General of Canada, Viceroy of India, Secretary of State for War, Foreign Secretary and Leader of the House of Lords. It was Lansdowne who engineered the crucial changes in British foreign policy and the burden of Britain’s imperial commitments, led the House of Lords through one of the most divisive periods of modern times and at the end of the First World War, became a figure of notoriety greater than any of the popular leaders of the day. His life illustrates the challenges his class had to face at this time and acts as a prism through which to view the transition of Britain from a global force to a much reduced power. Simon Kerry shows that many of the issues Lansdowne faced are still important today and that his career profoundly affected the course of modern history. Simon Kerry was awarded an MA in Archaeology at Jesus College, Cambridge, and a doctorate in late Victorian British History at the University of East Anglia in 2015. He is married and lives in London.

Fighting on All Fronts
John Rothenstein in the Art World Adrian Clark John Rothenstein, son of Sir William Rothenstein, the celebrated portrait painter, was born in 1901, four years after the Tate Gallery had been founded as the national gallery of British art. When Rothenstein took over as its fifth director in 1938, the Tate was in serious trouble. Twenty-six years later when Rothenstein retired as Director in 1964, the Tate had acquired a Government grant, escaped the clutches of the National Gallery in 1955, and was firmly established both as the principal collection of modern art in the UK, and the best collection of British art in the world. Yet Rothenstein’s career in the art world had never run a smooth course. Adrian Clark’s thoroughly researched account of the origins and professional life of John Rothenstein, covers his highs and lows and tries to give a balanced view and summary of the achievements of this remarkable human being. Adrian Clark is the author of British and Irish Art 1945–1951 (2010) and co-author of Queer Saint. The Cultured Life of Peter Watson (2015). He contributed to the catalogue for the exhibition of the Roberts at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (2014) and has written extensively for the British Art Journal.

His Master’s Voice
Sir Joseph Lockwood and Me William Cavendish Joseph Lockwood was born in poverty next to his grandfather’s mill in Southwell Nottinghamshire; from there he went on to become a world expert and author of the standard textbook on flour milling. In mid-life he turned from managing and designing flour mills to becoming Chairman of EMI, ‘The Greatest Recording Organisation in the World’. A much sought after public figure, businessman and government advisor, he played a major role in building the National Theatre, restoring the Royal Opera House, as well as sitting on the Arts Council and becoming Chairman of the Royal Ballet. For twenty years his good friend William Cavendish worked alongside Sir Joe, as he was always known, when Sir Joe was the Chairman of EMI, and the last record company to remain in British ownership. This book is the story of how this relationship developed, as Sir Joe’s prestige brought him ever increasing influence in industry and the arts, while William remained by his side, quietly observing in the background. After Eton and Trinity College Cambridge where William Cavendish obtained an MA in English Literature in 1963, his intention was to qualify as a Chartered Accountant in London. Instead by chance, he was introduced to the Chairman of EMI at a party in 1964 and to his surprise, was asked me to become his Personal Assistant the next day. The next week, EMI’s artists, The Beatles, topped the charts in America for the first time. William stayed with Sir Joe for the rest of his friend’s life, working together for over twenty years.

Chile Flour Mill Manager |17|
Master’s Voice: Sir Joe, the Beatles and Me
horse riding with him tomorrow … I have not yet heard date of sailing, although I have had a letter from the Santa Rosa Co.
An offer had come to assist the manager of a mill in Chile. He could not wait. He shared Lord Byron’s view, writing from Cambridge aged nineteen: “To forget or be forgotten by the people of Southwell is all I aspire to!” A job awaited him, but the mill owners, Balfour Williamson, had no vessel sailing to Chile carrying supplies for a further year. Time on his hands found Joe reluctantly acting as secretary to his uncle’s Church Lads Brigade branch.
Chapter 2
Chile Flour Mill Manager Joe left home a boy, and arrived in South America a man. Edward and John received a much-awaited letter in 29th April 1924, from the RMS Oropesa: We are just about to arrive in Rio. I shall go ashore as I particularly want to get some Brazilian tobacco and cigars which are about 1 1/2d each!
(Joe took to pipe smoking when an aunt told him it was unmanly not to do so. She would also impress his younger brother: Charles claimed he practically fainted at her sophistication and femininity.) Joe continued to boast: MrWebster, 4th Officer, S.S. Oropesa
Southwell Church Lads Brigade, (off to camp)
With growing anticipation, he ordered a dinner jacket and several linen suits suitable for overseas posting. He had already mastered the latest milling techniques. He had his appendix removed in memory of his father. It was benign. He told Mabel he would be away for five years. She did not object. There was a berth for him on a boat sailing from Liverpool. He was nineteen, the same age as Byron.

Chile Flour Mill Manager |19|
Master’s Voice: Sir Joe, the Beatles and Me
All the officers are very good fellows and they spend most of their time with us. One of them, Webster, keeps us in roars of laughter. He says he wishes he had known me a bit sooner so he could have given me a good time the night before the boat sailed. I am beginning to look like a nigger. I have had dozens of photographs taken. I think there are eight meals. We start with early morning tea.There are sandwiches after dinner and again just before bed. The orchestra is now playing. We have got quite a decent second class deck. In fact, we have two decks. Every night we have a dance. Well, I’m hot, so goodbye, your loving cousin Joe.
He was at sea for five weeks. News got to him that Edward Caudwell Ltd was formed into a Limited Liability company, with Charles, Edward and John as directors in his absence. He was not needed. But they should see what he was now running. Letters home described the Santa Rosa Milling Company Ltd, in Concepción, as one of the largest companies in Chile.
He was too poor to buy a newspaper and relied on the British Club in Concepción to keep copies. He was receptive to news from home. I am glad you are catching a few trout.With a little patience and practice you’ll be able to empty the Greet … Well, I’m having a fine time here, not manual, there is no need to do a stroke.These men here think I look rather strong and are very obedient. Since I have been here I have sacked some 30 men and lads and kicked several drunkards into the gutter. They’ll probably be waiting for me at night with a revolver when I go to dinner but it doesn’t bother me. When any man comes to speak to you, you make him stand at attention and take his hat off. You can imagine how important it makes you feel walking around the mill and sort of thinking “All this is mine”, but I’m not getting swollen headed!
To his uncle he wrote in October 1925: All the three mills are electrically driven and we run them day and night until Sunday morning. I have control over all the men in the firm except for Mr Vasey and the other miller. After they have gone home, I am responsible for the whole place. I live in part of Mr Vasey’s house and have a youth to clean my rooms and wait on me generally. I am about almost from 6.30am to 6pm. This is a terrible place for accidents. During the last six months we have had two men killed, one got round a shaft, the other was electrocuted!
That irresponsible anger, never far from the surface, from which no one was safe, made itself felt back in Southwell. To cousin John he wrote: The first thing I am going to do is blow you up for the two letters had insufficient postage. There is very little to pay, only the annoying part is the letters are kept at the post office and they won’t deliver to a servant and I have to go and sign for them, and they send a sort of income tax demand. I have to pay income tax here and it is a bit too bad!

Master’s Voice: Sir Joe, the Beatles and Me
Joe, in the Plaza Concepción, 1924
I am sorry to hear things are still bad in England but there seems to be a tremendous lot of communists there nowadays. Yes, I have settled down quite well here and like it very much and have no great hope to live in England any more, although I would like to visit the family often. I hope to stay here about 4 years, and then if possible I would like to get on Simon’s staff either at home or abroad and retire here in years to come.
In December he learnt that his younger brother Charles, at sixteen, like himself, “is coming to the mill this month. Keep him at it anyway, and find him plenty of work!” In 1926, the senior partner of Balfour Williamson visited Chile:
Chile Flour Mill Manager |21|
I am sorry to hear that the Bishop has died. No doubt you will have a new one by now.
Lord Forres was impressed enough to consider that Joe was capable of running a flour mill single-handed, because that is what was to happen. The next two years have to be considered the best period of his whole life. In April 1927 he wrote:
Me, in the Plaza Concepción, 1993
Lord Forres laid the law down when he was out here as the whole place had to be painted inside and out at a cost of £1000. But he is a very different Lord to those I have ever seen here and is exceptionally clever. He even knows the strength of wheat and everything an engineer miller would understand.You can’t fool him. He is worth about £10 million I am told. Another fellow and myself are going to have Mr Vasey’s house and keep a cook, and servant, and a youth. But following Lord F’s instructions we have to get an old cook of course. He says it wouldn’t do to get in a young!
Compania Molinera San Cristobal Santiago – you will see I have changed my address to the Capital. I have been lent to this milling company while the manager visits England. S. seems to be the best place and miles ahead of London. I AM FEELING QUITE A BIG PERSONAGE NOW.The S. racecourse is the finest in the world. As I have always been accustomed to getting up Joe, aged 23 at 7 am, I can’t now get in the habit of in Santiago staying in bed, so have to spend two miserable hours as prestige won’t allow me to walk to my office with Managing Director on the door until 9 am. I have brought several white suits with me but prestige won’t allow me to use them and I have to use me Sunday best with a hard collar. I have a house near the mill which is in the residential part and it has sixteen rooms and I have it all to myself!
Joe would have found his surroundings intoxicating. The mill in Concepción looked out on the railway yards. But here his mill was at the base of the San Cristobal sugar loaf mountain, facing the Andes, beckoning exploration on horseback across the river and into foothills. With the international port of Valparaiso situated so close to the capital, many nationalities made up the cosmopolitan population of Santiago. Joe remarked on how Germans, Swiss and Norwegians celebrated their National Days. He was attracted to a young Norwegian visitor to the mill and invited him to his residence. All

Painter of Pedigree
Thomas Weaver of Shrewsbury Animal Artist of the Agricultural Revolution Lawrence Trevelyan Weaver The industrial and agricultural revolutions transformed the face of Britain. Fiery blast furnaces, pit-head steam engines and fuming lime-kilns scarred a landscape cut across by canals and turnpikes. Within enclosed pasture and parkland, farm and sporting animals of startling proportions and striking dimensions grazed by serpentine lakes and Palladian piles. One of the artists who depicted these prize bulls, pedigree sheep and thoroughbred stallions in Arcadian surroundings was Thomas Weaver of Shrewsbury. Travelling from country house to house to paint pedigree animals for pedigree people, his journeys map the networks of kinship, patronage and social aspirations that linked the landed families of Georgian England. Based on a unique and hitherto unexamined collection of Weaver's papers and pictures, including personal and professional correspondence, diary, contemporary newspaper cuttings, verse, and portraits of his family, Painter of Pedigree brings to life the work of an animal artist in the age of agricultural improvement, revealing the art, artistry and artifice that went into portraying and promoting these new breeds. Lawrence Trevelyan Weaver is a descendent of Thomas Weaver, whose papers and pictures have passed down to him. Formerly a paediatrician, clinical scientist and medical historian, now Emeritus Professor of Child Health and Honorary Senior Research Fellow in the Centre for the History of Medicine in the University of Glasgow he has spent much of the last five years tracing Weaver's footsteps, researching and writing this book. 21

By the Grace of God Paintings and Poems Gary Bunt By the Grace of God features paintings, sketches and sculptures by Gary Bunt. His artwork is inspired by the Christian narrative and numerous Bible stories; the teachings of Christ feature as the subject for his art. Bunt’s collection includes: The Temptation of Adam, The Ten Commandments, The Nativity, The Ark and The Feeding of the Four Thousand. This collection of paintings was born from contemplative experience and each piece of artwork is accompanied by a short poem written on the back of each canvas. Gary Bunt was born in 1957 in East Peckham and grew up in Golden Green in Kent. Always an avid reader and keen musician, he wrote lyrics for his group The Alice Banned, in which he played guitar. In his mid-twenties, Gary began to teach himself to paint in watercolour. Then in the late 80s he established a picture framing business in Maidstone, which was the first outlet for his paintings. In 2001 Gary’s ambition to be a full-time painter led to his first exhibition at The Red Leaf Gallery in Tunbridge Wells. However, just as his artistic success beckoned, he was diagnosed with cancer. Once in remission, Gary was fired by a new passion for painting and his mature style began to emerge. His lyric writing led naturally to the poems which now complement his paintings written on the back of canvases. The first paintings in the new style were shown with Nicholas Bowlby in 2004. Then in 2008, The Portland Gallery in London began exclusively representing him. Gary continues to paint in the little clapboard cabin, known as ‘The Shed’, in the garden of his home in Golden Green. He is married to Lynn and has two children, Henry and Georgia. "Gary brings humour into the sanctuary he digs it into the footings of fidelity, of reverence and light and shade revealing what binds us and in doing so what sets us free. These are not straightforward pieces of work, it is not possible to place a man underneath a sunflower unless you have stood there yourself." Peter Owen Jones

A Kind of Magic
Art Deco Vanity Cases Sarah Hue-Williams and Peter Edwards After 1918, post-war euphoria spread across Europe and America. Technology was changing the pace of life and emancipated, wealthy, fashionable women of means wanted newlydesigned jewellery and accessories decorated with contemporary motifs to reflect their new status. The vanity case, the ultimate jewelled fashion accessory, was designed and made mostly in Paris by the skilled designers and craftsmen who understood that the fashionable modern woman needed a practical solution to containing her lipstick, powder compact, cigarettes, lighter, theatre tickets, keys and all the other small paraphernalia about her person. Made of precious metals including platinum and gold, with inlays of lacquer, gemstones, mother of pearl, jade or enamel, these ‘reticules’ took hundreds of hours of patient craftsmanship to complete and were very, very expensive. Objects of desire to be passed round and shown off at gatherings of the super-rich, they became miniature status symbols to be seen with at the opera or restaurant. The fifty vanity cases shown in this book are from one private collection, with examples of contemporary jewellery and images illustrating the lives of those who owned them. Sarah Hue-Williams is a freelance gemmologist, jewellery historian and lecturer. Winner of the Anderson Medal for Gemmology, she is a Fellow of the Gemmological Association of Great Britain and author of Christie’s Guide to Jewellery and, with Raymond Sancroft-Baker, Hidden Gems, Jewellery Stories from the Saleroom (Unicorn Press). Peter Edwards is London’s foremost dealer in fine Art Deco and 20th-century Jewellery. 30

The A–Z of Typography
Classification • Anatomy • Toolkit • Attributes Wilks + Wyse This highly visual introduction to all things typographic unravels the story of the fonts that we encounter every day. It opens with an A-Z of a range of significant fonts, chosen to represent the typographic spectrum. As well as looking at each font’s historical context and design ethos, a pangram will showcase the entire alphabetic range of each font, as well as relaying a pithy message about the font’s history, purpose or use. A chapter on Anatomy will deconstruct the letters of the English alphabet to reveal the anatomical structure of the letterforms, explaining terms such as bowl, crossbar, finial, ligature and spur. An examination of the typographer’s toolkit explains how type can be manipulated and arranged on the page to create an arresting design. The final chapter examines the myriad signs, symbols and punctuation marks that litter the printed page, created to endow printed text with additional meaning and nuance. Karen Wilks is a Sussex-based designer whose client list includes AVA, Debrett’s, Laurence King, Thames & Hudson, the Royal Mail and Imperial War Museum. Liz Wyse is a writer, editor and project manager, who specialises in illustrated reference books. Her clients include Viking Penguin, Cambridge University Press, Laurence King and Macmillan.

Enid Marx Enid Marx, FRSA (1902–1998) was an English painter and designer, who studied at the Royal College of Art at the same time as Eric Ravilious and Edward Bawden, under the tutelage of Paul Nash. Once living in Hampstead, she started her own studio designing textiles – ultimately being chosen by the London Passenger Transport Board to design the fabrics for the seats of the London buses and underground. She designed book covers for the likes of Penguin, and wrote and illustrated her own – including the two here. Marx eventually became Head of Department of Dress, Textiles and Ceramics at Croydon College of Art. With her partner, Margaret Lambert, she developed a unique collection of British folk art, which is now on display at Compton Verney Art Gallery near Stratfordupon-Avon.

Disputed Earth
Geology and Trench Warfare on the Western Front 1914–18 Peter Doyle Geology controls the outcome of battle and no more so than during the trench warfare of the Great War; this new book by expert Peter Doyle takes us through the details. An understanding of terrain has been the mark of a great commander from at least the time of Sun Tzu, and most campaigns can be interpreted and understood from this standpoint. It is the Great War, a war of trenches and dug-outs, of mines and mud, that epitomises the struggles of commander and soldier alike in the prosecution of battle against the obstacles set for them by terrain. This book, based on twenty-five years of study, takes the geology of northern France and Flanders and examines such issues as: What created Flanders mud? How were the Germans able to dig deep dug-outs to resist the British on the Somme? and, Why were the British successful at mine warfare? These and other issues are dealt with in this volume illustrated throughout with maps and photographs. Peter Doyle is a geologist and well known military historian specialising in the impact of terrain on the outcome of battle, particularly in the Great War, as well as the British experience of war. He is Secretary of the All Party Parliamentary War Heritage Group and visiting Professor at University College London. More details can be found at www.peterdoylemilitaryhistory.com.

In Flanders Fields The 1917 Campaign Leon Wolff A First World War classic, detailed in its history, evocative of the period and the context, Wolff ’s study of the 1917 campaign contains expert narrative in the strategy and tactics of the Battle of Third Ypres. In Flanders Fields begins on New Year’s Day 1917 and the violence which ensued; it looks at the ways in which men died and looks at the politics, putting a spotlight on the leaders, and how the campaign was conceived, sponsored and opposed. Reasons for this seemingly endless onslaught are still debated today by military historians, yet in this novelisation of the infamous battle, Wolff goes some way to explain the unexplainable: how was it possible to have such slaughter on an industrial scale only one year after the Somme. Leon Wolff was born as the First World War broke out in 1914, growing up in Chicago, the son of a travelling salesman. He served as a second lieutenant in the US Air Force during the Second World War. Wolff wrote four books in total, Low Level Mission which dealth with the raids on the Ploesti Oilfields in 1943, In Flanders Fields, Little Brown Brother which won the Francis Parkman Prize from the Society of American Historians and Lockout the story of the Homestead Strike of 1892 and the Carnegie steel empire.

Gallipoli Robert Rhodes James On 15th April 1915, British and Dominion troops landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula. The campaign which followed lasted over eight months and cost the terrible total of nearly half a million Allied and Turkish casualties. The eventual failure of the Gallipoli campaign, after heart-breaking opportunities had been missed, was a disastrous set-back to Allied hopes. It remains one of the most engrossing and poignant tragedies in British military history. In our new edition of this classic in military writing, Robert Rhodes James was one of the first historians to work from the official archives and makes brilliant use of diaries and letters of the men who fought there and the photographs they took. Gallipoli stands the test of time, bringing vividly to life the conditions and circumstances of a campaign which has never ceased to enthral the imagination. Robert Rhodes James was educated in India, Sedbergh School and Worcester College before embarking on a career as a writer and clerk in the House of Commons. In 1964 he received the Award of the Royal Society of Literature and was subsequently made a Fellow of the Royal Society. An uncle and cousin both served at Gallipoli, the latter being one of the few survivors of the disastrous landing from the collier River Clyde on 25th April 1915.

Passchendaele
The Day by Day Account Chris McCarthy It will be forever known as Passchendaele: the very word is used to describe wretched and perilous conditions such as were encountered at the Battles which became officially designated as Third Ypres. There with better tactics, equipment and experience than he had previously employed, Haig was surely set for considerable advance and ultimate success. Initial successes were, however, reversed by stout German defence and weak British strategy before unprecedented rainfall reduced the Belgian landscape to a quagmire. Throughout August the British suffered net losses and only towards the end of September did the more enlightened command of Plumer bring gains against the German divisions, only for more rain and the subsequent reduction of offensive effectiveness to reduce territorial gains to a meaningless trickle. Following his popular volume on The Somme, Chris McCarthy re-assesses and enhances the official history of Third Ypres, presenting his research with comprehensive illustrations and valuable coloured maps. Chris McCarthy joined the Imperial War Museum in 1976, first as a Curator of British uniforms and then as Conservation Officer. He is now retired, but continues to work on a long-term database project on the First World War. Chris is a member of the British Commission for Military History and an Honorary Research Fellow in War Studies at the University of Birmingham. 48

The Man Who Saved Paris Roger West’s Ride, 1914 Michael Carragher A vivid account of the opening weeks of war by a volunteer despatch rider who may have prevented a swift German victory. Of Anglo-German stock, Roger West was conflicted when war broke out but volunteered out of the strong sense of duty that was characteristic of his class. His linguistic skills led to his being commissioned into the Intelligence Corps but he was seconded as a despatch rider to the 19th Brigade, which bore a great brunt of the fighting in the first few weeks in 1914. West was in the thick of things despite being crippled with a badly-damaged foot, often riding round the clock, delivering despatches and directing and assisting soldiers separated from their units and disoriented stragglers. Discovering that a critical bridge had been left open to the German advance he volunteered to ride back and blow it up, preventing the retreating Fifth French Army from being taken in the flank, something that could have fulfilled the Schlieffen Plan’s aims and won the war for Germany. Michael Carragher also wrote San Fairy Ann? Motorcycles and British Victory 1914–1918 (FireStep) and ‘The Despatch Riders Corps in 1914’ in Stemming the Tide: Officers and Leadership in the British Expeditionary Force 1914, ed Dr Spencer Jones (Helion & Co).

Nieuwpoort Sector 1917 The Battle of the Dunes Kristof Jacobs The mainly forgotten story of the British and Australian tunnellers and their work on the Belgian Coast during the Great War. Based on historical documents, military archives, regimental records, testimonies and more than 350 photographs and pictures, the book covers the fighting around the Belgian coastal town of Nieuwpoort. Kristof Jacobs explores the presence of British and Australian soldiers at the Ijzer estuary in the build up to Third Ypres and highlights the work in the dunes including that of the Royal Engineers, the Dorset Regiment, the 135th Siege Battery, 2nd Australian Tunnelling Company and Operation Hush and the diary of Major W. E. Buckingham. First-hand accounts are included throughout and complimented with the story of eighteen-year old Bert Fearns (1898–1997) a veteran from the 2nd/6th Bn Lancashire Fusiliers who ended up in Nieuwpoort in 1917. It was his story that first inspired the research for this book by Jacobs. After studying architecture, Kristof Jacobs got involved in WWI battlefield archaeology. He became one of the founding members of A.B.A.C. (Association for Battlefield Archaeology and Conservation) where we worked alongside historians Johan Vandewalle, Peter Barton and Jeremy Banning. In 2008 he was the director of the Vampir Dugour project at Zonnebeke.

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON THE TRUTH BEHIND THE POSTER Bex Lewis ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ has become one of the most recognisable slogans of the twentyfirst century. But where is it from and why has it resonated so strongly with the modern British public? This book reveals the truth begind the now infamous poster, tracing its origins to the Second World War, when it was created to allay public panic in the event of a German invasion. Of course this feared invasion never happened, and the poster would have been resigned to the dusty shelves of history were it not for a chance discovery by the owners of Barter Books in 2001. Later seized upon as an encouragement in the economic crisis, ‘Keep Calm’ went on to become arguably the most successful meme in history. This book tells the story of that phenomenon, including colourful posters and archive photographs throughout. Bex Lewis has a background as a cultural communications historian and digital practitioner, with a PhD in Second World War posters, in which she wrote the history of Keep Calm and Carry On. She is Senior Lecturer in Digital Marketing at Manchester Metropolitan University and a Visiting Research Fellow at St John’s College, Durham University. She is a frequent speaker, writer and facilitator, and is author of the popular Raising Children in a Digital Age (2014).

CHURCHILL’S WAR IN WORDS Jonathan Asbury Churchill’s War in Words transports the reader back to the storm-struck days of the Second World War. Focussing only on words used at the time, it reveals the way that Winston Churchill talked about the conflict in public and in private – and the way that he himself was viewed at the time by family, friends, politicians, military leaders, staff, voters, allies and enemies. Presented in chronological order and accompanied by short year-by-year introductions, the quotations convey afresh the full force of Churchill’s oratory, the wit he displayed in the face of often appalling odds, and the hopes and fears that he inspired in those around him. Together they reveal to the modern reader what it was truly liked to be locked in a struggle in which victory – or total defeat – was yet to be decided. Together they tell the extraordinary story of Churchill’s War in Words. Jonathan Asbury is author of Secrets of Churchill’s War Rooms as well as the official Churchill War Rooms guidebook, and guidebooks for HMS Belfast, IWM London, IWM North and IWM Duxford. He is a graduate of Churchill College, Cambridge – founded in honour of the wartime Prime Minister – and has enjoyed a life-long fascination with the way that the Second World War was one.

EVE IN OVERALLS
WOMEN AT WORK IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR Arthur Wauters ‘… tranquil heroism is to be found wherever the women of Britain are calmly and quietly carrying out their civic duties.’ ‘There is hardly any kind of work left where [women] have not succeeded in taking the place of men,’ explains this pamphlet from the Second World War. First published in 1942, Eve in Overalls highlights the huge contribution made by women to the war effort. From air-raid wardens, signallers, electricians and drivers, to roles in the Navy, Air Force and territorial services, it describes how women entered the workplace as never before. At moments shocking, Eve in Overalls reflects a time when women in the workplace were viewed with curiosity and fascination, and the style and language can seem amusing to readers today. It provides a fascinating and eye-opening insight into the dedicated and hardworking women who helped Britain win the war.

WYNDHAM LEWIS LIFE, ART, WAR Richard Slocombe Until his death in 1957, Wyndham Lewis was a radical force in British art and literature; a modernist ‘Man of 1914’ and the founder of Britain’s only true avant-garde movement, Vorticism. As a master of art and letters he won the plaudits of T. S. Eliot and Augustus John in his lifetime and inspired a miscellany of figures in art, literature and music, from the sculptor Henry Moore to the blues rock experimentalist Captain Beefheart, and pop music pioneer David Bowie. Yet in spite of this impressive cultural pedigree Lewis’s reputation has been blighted by his shortlived, ill-judged praise of Hitler in the 1930s. Cast into the cultural wilderness for the second half of the 20th century, Lewis has belatedly undergone a revival of interest. This book takes a look at this intriguing artist and accompanies the first major exhibition of his work in over forty years at IWM North in Manchester. Richard Slocombe is Senior Curator Historian at Imperial War Museums, and curator of the exhibition Wyndham Lewis: Life, Art, War at IWM North.

THE DAVY LAMP
INVENTING THE MINERS’ SAFETY LAMP Professor Frank James The Davy Lamp - Inventing the Miners’ Safety Lamp: is a unique publication in the history of science, marking the bicentenary of the invention of the Davy Lamp. Sir Humphry Davy’s original manuscripts, as collected by Michael Faraday – with expert contemporary transcription and notes – contain Davy’s scientific notes, workings and diagrams as he developed his prototypes and the final version of his invention that helped promote safety in mining during the Industrial Revolution. Just over two centuries ago the Miners’ Safety Lamp was invented by Sir Humphry Davy working with Michael Faraday in the Royal Institution of Great Britain. From 1816, the use of the lamp saved the lives of countless coal miners and facilitated the increased coal production that was vital to continuing industrialisation. In recognition of the bicentenary, ArchAlive are publishing a unique bound volume of over 200 pages of the actual manuscripts (held in the archives of the RI), reproduced with a transcription printed opposite. This is one of the few primary sources from which the invention and innovation of the lamp can be tracked. The book has a full transcription, expert commentary and introduction from the book’s editor Frank James, Professor of History of Science at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, and University College London.

In November every year, on Remembrance Sunday, representatives of the whole nation parade past the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London. The last section to pass is always a group of London Transport staff. For decades they marched in the company of a very special vehicle: a bright red open-topped double-decker London bus. This was B-type bus number B43.

The First World War changed London and Londoners forever.

“The whole Idea was to design the building from the inside out. Ian Ritchie and his colleagues have taken that concept and turned it into one of the most exciting pieces of architecture I’ve seen in terms of a scientific space, one that will really enable the kinds of interdisciplinary interactions needed for this kind of science, while also providing a beautiful aesthetic.”

Description
Long Live South Bank 978-0-992926-80-9 About the Author HB £30.00
When not appearing on stage or screen, Lucy Liu can often be found in her art studio in New York. Born to Chinese immigrant parents in Jackson Heights, New York, Liu attended the New York Studio School for drawing, painting and sculpture from 2004 to 2006. For over two decades Liu’s practice as a visual artist has encompassed, and often combines, painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, embroidery and collage. Representations of the body permeate her oeuvre, from portraiture to abstraction. To date, her work has explored issues of sexuality, identity, race, memory and history. She has had solo exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, Nova Scotia and Munich.
Night Sketches
Seventy Two is a dynamic body of artwork by Lucy Liu. Comprising 72 paintings in ink and acrylic, the series is inspired by the 72 Names of God – esoteric sequences of Hebrew letters that some believe help in the journey to find enlightenment for mind, body, and spirit. Liu’s art practice sits at the interface of Eastern and Western traditions of art, referencing a variety of styles, from Abstract Expressionism to Chinese calligraphy. With a freshness, vitality, and energy of its own, Liu’s Seventy Two series is a must for anyone with an interest in abstract art and spirituality. A text by Deepak Chopra offers an insightful introduction to Liu’s paintings, while Michael Dopp takes the reader on a journey through the series as a whole. An essay by theology and art history scholar Ori Z Soltes explains the history and meaning of the 72 Names of God. This Special Edition comprises a copy of the publication presented in a silkscreened cloth-covered slipcase.

When setting down my responses, I used the technique of spontaneous writing as much as I could. I let myself associate with the image, but not randomly. It’s tempting when you look at Asian-inspired art, or abstract art in general, to turn the image into a Rorschach test. (Not that ink blots don’t have their own aesthetics. After all, they were devised to peer deeper into the patient than what he or she was willing to see, or tell.) I could be criticized for dwelling too much on everyday associations. My starting point might be too mundane. Let’s go a bit deeper, then. Telepathy isn’t about using your mind like a TV station to broadcast pictures. Indeed, telepathy is no more than an example of how mind extends beyond the brain. Mind is collective. Its contents are shared. Hidden in its deeper reaches are invisible things. What kind of invisible things is Lucy tapping into?
Key Sales Points
Consider Listening To Your Soul (p. 136). If I sampled twenty people and asked them if this image was masculine or feminine, I think most would say feminine. The soul, or anima, is also feminine. It’s our source, the still point around which a lifetime of activity spins. Isn’t that implied here? I see that white dot in the center as a kind of source, and swirling out of it is Creation. The soul expands into the world exactly like that. I also think that most people could see the outline of a chambered nautilus in this image, if it were suggested to them.
– Lucy Liu is an internationally exhibited visual artist and acclaimed actress. – Includes words from Deepak Chopra, Dr. Ori Z. Soltes and Michael Dopp. – Makes a perfect gift, presented in a silkscreened cloth-covered slipcase.

Not only is the chambered nautilus one of the most beautiful shapes in Nature, but the way the creature builds its chambers, from the tiniest to the largest, is like a blueprint for the soul’s progress through life, beginning with the first, fragile experiences of infancy. Not everyone reads poetry anymore, but Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809–1894) wrote an exquisite poem about the chambered nautilus, meditating on eternity, of which the following is a short extract: Year after year beheld the silent toil That spread his lustrous coil; Still, as the spiral grew, He left the past year’s dwelling for the new Poetry is relevant here because it displays the entire arc from the dark unconscious to the light of beauty. Artists make the invisible visible. Even if you haven’t explored Jungian archetypes, few would
