    1 Chapter 1: The Year p. 9 In the autumn of 1850, in Hyde Park in London, there arose a most extraordinary structure: a giant iron and glass greenhouse covering nineteen acres of ground and containing within its airy vastness enough room for four St Paul’s Cathedrals: The story of London’s Great Exhibition is thoroughly and entertainingly told in Michael Leapman’s The World for a Shilling: How the Great Exhibition of 1851 Shaped a Nation. For historical context, The Year Is 1851 by Patrick Howarth provided much information. The sources for other details are specified below. p. 10 The Building Committee of the Royal Commission for the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations consisted of four men – Matthew Digby Wyatt, Owen Jones, Charles Wild, and the great engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel: Hix, The Glass House, p. 133. p. 11 The whole was to be capped off by Brunel’s contribution: an iron dome two hundred feet across: New Yorker, ‘The Great Iron Ship’, 19 September 1953. p. 11 Into this unfolding crisis stepped the calm figure of Joseph Paxton: Although Paxton’s architecture has been much written about, for instance in The Works of Sir Joseph Paxton by George F. Chadwick, Joseph Paxton himself was rather neglected as a biographical subject until the publication in 2004 of the excellent A Thing in Disguise: The Visionary Life of Joseph Paxton by Kate Colquhoun, from which many of the facts here are taken. p. 12 This so captivated the American Frederick Law Olmsted that he modelled Central Park in New York on it: See Rybczynski, A Clearing in the Distance.

  • Top 10 Philosophers' Fictions
    Top 10 philosophers' fictions Esther Leslie - The Guardian - Wednesday 3 August 2016 11.30 BST From Marx to Mann and Adorno, some thinkers have made brilliant use of the imaginative techniques of novels and stories to frame their reflections. Here are some of the most interesting and unexpected ‘Humouristic’ ... the tomb of Karl Marx in Highgate Cemetery, London. Photograph: Paul Grover / Rex Features) Philosophy tends to be arid, more related to mathematics or dispatches from the courtroom than art, but some philosophy exhibits playfulness or poetic sensibility in relation to language or narrative form and some has even been speculative in a literary or imaginative sense. Jean Baudrillard, for one, coined the term “theory fiction” and speculated on scenarios for future real worlds that were more wild and improbable than science fiction. In his case, it was part of a quest to exacerbate the groundlessness of signs and meaning. But postmodern suspicion is not the only way in which philosophers have used the strategies of fiction to further their projects. Hegel’s great work Phenomenology of Spirit can be read as a vast novel in which the characters, avatars of the spirit, move progressively through the world and through history. Its French translator, Jean Hippolyte, called it a “philosophical novel”: in one section the characters of Lord and Bondsman struggle dramatically over questions of recognition. Nietzsche was a stylist and his Thus Spoke Zarathustra often appears in lists of top philosophers’ novels. It has a protagonist and a plot that resembles something like a bildungsroman, as the tragic teacher hero learns lessons in life through his failures.

  • Msps Listen to Church on Suicide I Church Leads Opposition to Margo Macdonald’S End of Life Assistance Bill at Scottish Parliament
    DON’T MISS YOUR SCO PAPAL VISIT SOUVENIR SUPPLEMENT IN PARISHES NOW No 5289 Why ‘cafeteria Catholicism’ is off the menu Pages Professor Reilly explains why the Pope is leading the Church correctly 12-13 No 5384 New website at www.sconews.co.uk Friday October 1 2010 | 90p MSPs listen to Church on suicide I Church leads opposition to Margo MacDonald’s End of Life Assistance Bill at Scottish Parliament By Ian Dunn THE Catholic Church led opposition to Margo MacDonald’s assisted suicide bill this week while campaigners demonstrated against the legislation outside the Scottish Parliament. The End of Life Assistance Bill committee is currently hearing evidence about the bill prior to a final version being voted on by MSPs. Danger of the bill John Deighan, the Church’s parliamentary officer in Scotland, was among those giving evidence to the committee on Tuesday and he wasted no time in spelling out the End of Life Assistance Bill’s dangers. “The hearing gave me specifically the opportu- nity to note the threat that these proposals have for the vulnerable, especially those who at present face various forms of abuse from family or car- ers,” he said. “It was also possible to explain the failure of safeguards to protect the vulnerable in Oregon and in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is a particularly sobering case study given that the pool of those who can be killed has grown steadi- ly since the practice began in that country.” He added that the situation of Dr Chabot who killed a woman by euthanasia because she claimed she could not face life after the death of her sons was ‘an important case which I took the opportunity of raising with the committee, as was that of Barbara Wagner who was refused the pro- vision of life extending treatment for breast can- cer but was told that her health insurance would cover the cost of her assisted suicide drugs.’ “We have to hope that our politicians reflect seriously on the warnings that such cases raise and thus opt to maintain the protection of all lives under the law,” he said.

  • Post-War Public Art Protection, Care and Conservation
    Post-War Public Art Protection, Care and Conservation In partnership with Summary Public art can be enjoyed by us all. Everyone can play a part in valuing and caring for it. This guidance is aimed at anyone who manages or has responsibility for post-war public art, including local authorities, charitable bodies, community groups, heritage professionals and custodians. Public art is defined here as fixed artworks which members of the public are able to access and enjoy, in public, semi-public or privately owned public space, whether outdoors or indoors. This document outlines good practice on the care and management of post-war public art, including regular maintenance and planned conservation work. It sets out the different ways that the best of our public art can be identified and protected and the statutory duties that relate to its ownership and care. Key principles include a clear understanding of ownership and lines of responsibility; inclusive and transparent decision making; regular condition checks to detect potential sources of harm; and engaging the public in valuing and caring for public art. This guidance document is part of Historic England’s range of practical guidance which helps people care for their historic places. It complements Historic England’s Introduction to Heritage Assets, Public Art 1945–95. This guidance note has been prepared by Geraint Franklin. First published by Historic England in September 2016.

  • The Winnats Pass Mystery
    2020 The Winnats Pass Mystery Alan Sargeant Anarchism/Communism 8/28/2020 The Winnats Pass Mystery: The Death of Harry Fallows In the aftermath of a fractious year that had seen the much feared General Strike promise to set Britain ablaze with devastating flames of crisis and sedition, the national papers made the most of an unremarkable start to the New Year. The famous Winnats Pass in the craggy High Peaks of Derbyshire, a favourite rambling and cycling spot among Sheffield and Manchester city folk, had been the scene of a ‘sensational discovery’. The bodies of a young man and woman, who had been missing from their homes in Manchester since January 1st 1927, were found at dusk on Saturday 8th by 17-year old rambler Fred Bannister from Manchester. The victims of the tragedy were Harry Fallows of 28 Hinde Street in Moston, Manchester and 17 year-old Marjorie Coe Stewart of 44 Hinde Street. Incredibly, the story emerged just days before another missing persons’ story had been resolved. Glasgow-born activist Nancy Graham had disappeared from her home on the evening of Wednesday 5th. Her husband, a naval architect trained at John Brown & Co Ltd in Clydebank, had discovered his barely conscious wife a week later in the empty home of a Presbyterian minister in Upton near Liverpool. If the discovery of the bodies in Castleton hadn’t been linked to the Toplis ‘Grey Motor’ case, the story may well have missed the press columns entirely. The dead man was 26 year-old Harry Fallows, the former corporal in the RASC Vehicle Office at Bulford Military Base who just several years before had been charged with harbouring and maintaining the fugitive Percy Toplis — legendary leader of the mutiny at the Etaples Base Camp in France during the war 1.

The first part of the book, "Immigrants Past and Present," gives an account of the role played by a few of the migrant communities who came to Britain and settled before the end of World War II. The contributions they have made and the difficulties they have faced are outlined. The second part of the book, "The Contributions of Britain's Ethnic Minorities," focuses on the 50 years since the end of World War II through a selection of "snapshots" of key areas of society where immigration and ethnic diversity have enriched life in Britain. The final section, "Roots of the Future," emphasizes the importance of recognizing ethnic diversity in planning for Britain's future. A list of key dates in British history is included.
