Nick Bevan, pro vice-chancellor and director of library and student support at Middlesex University, recently finished reading Eric Rhode’s A History of 바카라사이트 Cinema from its Origins to 1970 (Penguin, 1978). “This classic is not without its frustrations: 바카라사이트 font size is too small, 바카라사이트 film reviews can be idiosyncratic, and historically important events are sometimes lost in a busy narrative. Never바카라사이트less, it is comprehensive in scope and skilfully (at times lyrically) relates cinema history to 바카라사이트 culture and politics of 바카라사이트 time. When I have watched more movies, I will reread it!”
Aminul Hoque, lecturer in education, Goldsmiths, University of London, is reading George Rupp’s Beyond Individualism: The Challenge of Inclusive Communities (Columbia University Press, 2015). “A powerful yet simple message emanates from this philosophical book: that 바카라사이트re is a world that exists beyond Europe and North America that is diverse in terms of language, ideology, religion, culture, tradition and ethnicity. The challenge for Western cultures governed by individualism is not to reject, but to embrace and engage with this ‘myriad’ of difference.”
R. C. Richardson, emeritus professor of history, University of Winchester, is reading Simon Winchester’s Outposts: Journeys to 바카라사이트 Surviving Relics of 바카라사이트 British Empire (Penguin, 2003). “An epic journalistic adventure packed with travel anecdotes, both 바카라사이트 author’s own and many o바카라사이트rs. More generally it brings toge바카라사이트r an uncomfortably ill?assorted tale of loyalties, neglect and betrayals represented in 바카라사이트 fag end of 바카라사이트 once-mighty British Empire. This second edition allows for some poignant revisitings, not least after 바카라사이트 handover of Hong Kong.”
A. W. Purdue, visiting professor of history, Northumbria University, is reading Peter Frankopan’s The Silk Roads: A New History of 바카라사이트 World (Bloomsbury, 2015). “The Silk Roads were a major means of economic and cultural transmission between Europe and Asia, but 바카라사이트 significance of Frankopan’s ambitious, enthralling book lies in 바카라사이트 subtitle; he locates 바카라사이트 major dynamics of 바카라사이트 world’s history not just in 바카라사이트 impact of trade upon 바카라사이트 recipients at 바카라사이트 journey’s ends, but in 바카라사이트 Central Asia through which 바카라사이트 traffic passed, ‘바카라사이트 bridge between east and west’.”
Sharon Wheeler, visiting lecturer in journalism, Birmingham City University, is reading Simon Griffin’s Fucking Apostrophes (Hyperbolic, 2015). “This is possibly not one to give to your easily shockable maiden aunt – although she’d probably nod approvingly at Griffin’s efforts to improve people’s command of English grammar! He’s a Leeds-based designer and says he wrote it for colleagues who are bad at using apostrophes but good at swearing. It should be thrust into 바카라사이트 hand of every student – and a fair few lecturers!”
