History of a Revoluter
SHORTLISTED FOR THE SALTIRE PRIZE, SCOTLAND'S NATIONAL BOOK AWARDS 2025 The popular acclaim of James Leslie Mitchell (1901-1935) has risen exponentially in the twenty-first century, and Mitchell's critical standing in European literature is now assured. This is the first full critical biography, authorised by his family, of the author who found enduring fame by his pen-name of Lewis Grassic Gibbon, universally heralded for the plangent autofictional novel Sunset Song and for the epic trilogy of modern Scotland, A Scots Quair. Dr William Malcolm has drawn on over forty years of dedicated research to lay bare the complex personality of the man behind the legend. Presenting definitive new evidence for every chapter of Mitchell's life, this is a truly fascinating story. Of a child genius born into rural poverty spurred into action as a lifelong political activist. Of rags-to-riches success ground out from the social turbulence of the early decades of the twentieth century. Of the tragedy of a quicksilver talent cut off in his prime, already a leading light of the Modern Scottish Literary Renaissance and of the British section of the anti-fascist Revolutionary Writers of the World. And of a timeless literary legacy secured in Scotland and beyond by a writer summoning the dogged individualism of his peasant ancestry to create one of the most resonant humanitarian voices in modern literature.

Battle of Malibu (in Three Parts) 1795
1000-piece puzzle featuring the artwork of acclaimed Los Angeles-based artist Umar Rashid. Made with recyclable materials. A 1000-piece puzzle featuring the artwork of Umar Rashid. Did the Battle of Malibu actually happen? Probably not. OK, definitely not. But also maybe it did? LA based artist Umar Rashid has given the question a lot of thought and decided that it would be cool if it had happened so for all intents and purposes it did. And if the Chumash, Tongva, Gabrielino, and other indigenous LA types had in fact gone on to fight the Spanish, armed with a little red Corvette driven by Black Jesus, then, well, we'd have liked to see that. So here it is. It happened.
100 days in Los Roques
One hundred days of fly fishing in Los Roques. A magical destination, full of possibilities to develop our beautiful art.In this book you will not find magic recipes on how to fish, who to fish with, or what to buy for fishing. My humble motivation is to share my own experiences and my enthusiasm. I wish to show that the time spent on the water, often in solitude and without anyone telling me "how", is not lost. On the contrary, time accumulates and increases the knowledge of each one of us. I have always tried to decipher how natural impulses move in an unconscious and original way towards this activity that I am so passionate about.The best angler is not the one who catches more fish, publishes more photographs or spends more money on equipment, clothing or trips. For me, the most evolved angler is the one who tries to blend in with the environment he is fishing in. I also believe that the good fly fisherman is the one who goes unnoticed, the one who leaves no human trace. For you, this may or may not be appealing. We all have different ways of fishing, and indeed living, with different perspectives and different goals. But I hope my vision of what I have experienced will be useful to some adventurous and intuitive fly-fishers.

Captain Ogle’s Cup
Only one man in British history has ever been knighted for services to combat piracy, but his name - unlike those of his adversaries - is practically unknown. In fact, Chaloner Ogle enjoyed a long and distinguished career in the Royal Navy, rising to become Admiral of the Fleet. His spectacular career coincided with the 'golden age' of piracy, when trade in the Atlantic and beyond was threatened by roving bands of sea-robbers. Following a series of incidents on the African coast, Ogle set his sights on one particular robber, Bartholomew Roberts, or 'Black Bart'. The encounter that ensued is recorded in Captain Charles Johnson's A General History of the Pyrates, published in 1724. Struck by grapeshot, which ripped out his throat, Roberts was killed in an instant. Ogle, however, was denied the chance to capture the pirate when Roberts's crew threw his corpse overboard. The body was never recovered. The crew, however, suff ered fates that befell many captured pirates: some were hanged, others were sentenced to indentured labour, practically a life sentence in itself. While the exact details of how the coconut cup at the centre of this publication came to be made are unknown, it is a tantalising link to this period of history. The object will be on display during a major new exhibition at the National Maritime Museum from spring 2025 to early 2026.

Keith Cunningham: Dancers

United in Jesus, United in Joy
Chapel is an important part of our life together at Union University, giving us an opportunity to gather twice a week as a community to hear from God in his Word and respond to him. These services remind us of our grounding in Scripture and of the centrality of Jesus Christ to our lives. For the last several years in the Spring semester we have dedicated certain chapel services to sermons working their way through a specific book of the Bible. In the Spring of 2024, we focused on Philippians. Our community has been blessed by these series over the years, so we thought there would be value in gathering this most recent series into written form for wider dissemination. Philippians is commonly listed among people's favorite books of the Bible. Dr. Paul Caudill wrote, "The book of Philippians is one of the loveliest portions of the Bible." Indeed Dr. A. T. Robertson, that giant of New Testament scholarship, said, "Nowhere does Paul have more 'charm, ' to use Ramsay's phrase, than in Philippians. Nowhere is he more vital and more powerful. Paul was not merely a man of supreme genius and high culture but one who let himself go completely in spiritual abandonment to the love and life of Jesus." It has been our pleasure to work through this letter together. Two of the most consistent and significant themes in Philippians (and in these sermons) are unity and joy, both of which are clearly grounded in Jesus Christ. Therefore, our title for this book-United in Jesus, United in Joy-arises from that reality. In preparing these sermons for publication, we have not sought to turn them into essays but have intentionally maintained the oral, sermonic form in all their particularity. Our hope is that this work might encourage other Christians as they learn more about this particular book of the Bible, the truths it proclaims, and the Savior it exalts. We also hope it will be a resource for other preachers as they prepare to preach through Philippians.

Concerning the Spiritual in Art
A treatise on the spiritual in contemporary painting to adopt new, metaphysical ways of conceiving of and creating art, by one of the most impactful and recognized artists of the twentieth century, in a new translation for the first time since publication A Penguin Classic In Concerning the Spiritual in Art, Wassily Kandinsky, one of the most famous abstract painters of all time, urges the reader to free themselves from art's traditional bonds to material reality. In this radical theoretical work, he calls for a spiritual revolution in painting, arguing that artists, much like musicians, should be allowed to express their own inner lives in abstract, non-material terms. Investigating form and colour, spirituality and tradition, Kandinsky explores art's resonance with the soul, its purpose and nature, and its power to inspire us, to stir our emotions and to help us see beyond the limits of our world. A significant contribution to the understanding of non-objectivism in art, this book serves as an important landmark in modern art history and is necessary reading for every artist and art-lover.

The Night Land
Aeons in the future, Earth's surface faces perpetual night after the failing of the Sun. Humanity is entrenched within the Last Redoubt, a colossal metal pyramid. Beyond the safety of its structure lurk countless unknowable threats. William Hope Hodgson's strange, visionary novel of humanity's struggle for survival in the eternal darkness of the future was first published in 1912, and is widely acknowledged to be one of the foundation works of the 'Dying Earth' subgenre of Fantasy and Science Fiction. Written in a style composed of strange archaisms which fuel the weird sense of disorientation, this cult classic has won the admiration of writers from Brian Aldiss to C S Lewis, who wrote: 'The Night Land gives, like certain rare dreams, sensations we never had before.'
Brown Fleming and the Haarlem Collection
Tracing the history of how imitation Indonesian batik print fabric found an unexpected audience in Western AfricaIn the late 19th century, the Scottish merchant Ebenezer Brown Fleming introduced the first wax-printed batik imitations, made by Pr矇vinaire and produced in the Netherlands, adapting them to the tastes of African customers. This book, the first to focus on the history of wax for West Africa from its beginnings to the present day, features more than 150 color illustrations and details how copies of Indonesian batik, manufactured in Europe and initially intended for the Southeast Asian market, enjoyed unexpected success on the west coast of Africa at the end of the 19th century. New research based on Dutch, English and Swiss archives has not only enabled the reconstruction of the earliest collections but also provides an overview of the development of Dutch wax in Europe from its beginnings to the last surviving company, Vlisco, which still prints these classics today.
Challenging Norms
Access to reproductive healthcare, including abortions and family planning services, remains a deeply polarizing issue within contemporary Eastern Europe. Originally a question reserved for couples, this topic has since been elevated to the public realm through the emergence of modern nation states. Challenging Norms offers a geographically wide-ranging re-examination of family planning in twentieth-century Eastern Europe, interrogating the relationship between social attitudes to family planning and the forces of social, economic, and political modernization. In doing so, this volume highlights how these changes provide invaluable insights into ever-evolving societal norms and values.
