Dundee is a modern city with a long history. It became a royal burgh in the late-twelfth century, but the town itself long predates this, and human settlement in the area can be traced back many hundreds of years earlier. In its eight centuries of official existence, Dundee has been a medieval burgh subjected to invasion and conflict, a thriving seaport and center of trade, and a booming industrial town known worldwide for its 'Jute, Jam and Journalism'. It officially became a city in 1889 and, shortly after this, began to be documented by the medium of the picture postcard. In many ways Dundee can be considered home of the picture postcard. In the early years of the twentieth century when the craze for them was at its height, Valentines of Dundee was the worlds largest producer of postcards and their closest Scottish rival J. B. White Limited was also a local firm. Naturally both firms took many photographs in their home town and these images have become an invaluable historic archive for local historians. Dundee: The Postcard Collection dips in to this archive and presents many rare and fascinating images of the city. Explore a fascinating and evocative collection of postcards depicting the beautiful Scottish city of Dundee.

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Rivals, now a major series on Disney+ A tale of two schools... At Bagley Hall, a notoriously wild, but increasingly academic, independent, crammed with the children of the famous, trouble is afoot. The ambitious and fatally attractive headmaster, Hengist Brett-Taylor, hatches a plan to share the facilities of his school with Larkminster Comprehensive - known locally, as 'Larks'. His reasons for doing so are purely financial, but he is encouraged by the opportunities the scheme gives him for frequent meetings with Janna Curtis, the dynamic new head of Larks, who has been drafted in to save what is a fast-sinking school from closure. Janna is young, pretty, enthusiastic and vastly brave - and she will do anything to rescue her demoralised, run-down and cash-strapped school. Neither parents nor staff of either school are too keen on this radical move, although some can see the possible financial advantages. For the students, however, it offers great opportunities to get up to even more mayhem than usual.

Geoffrey of Monmouth, a twelfth-century cleric, was the first person to compose a detailed and continuous history of Britain from its origins to the domination of the Anglo-Saxons. His writings were enormously popular throughout the western European world, and he is justly credited with bringing 'The Matter of Britain' (including, most notably, the figure of Arthur) to a much wider audience. The vast popularity of this material has persisted to the present day, mainly but not solely in the interest shown in 'King Arthur'. This book illustrates the close ties between Geoffrey's notion of British and Arthurian society and other materials from medieval Wales and Ireland.

An exciting and essential record of downtown Manhattaniconic street scenes captured from the same vantage point in 1980s and today. When photographer Daniel Root moved to the East Village in the early 1980s, this constantly changing neighbourhood was in one of its periods of greatest ferment. Multiple immigrant groups maintained enclaves thereincluding Ukrainians, Puerto Ricans, Italians, Dominicans, and Poleseven as drug dealers plied their trade in abandoned buildings and young artists flooded in looking for cheap rents, followed close behind by real estate speculators. Through his lens, Root captured a young Madonna filming Desperately Seeking Susan on St. Marks Place; the storefront galleries of the East Village art scene; Life Cafe, where Jonathan Larson would writeand setRent; retirees playing chess in Tompkins Square Park; junkies fleeing the police. Forty years later, Rootstill an East Village residenthas returned to the very same places where he took those pictures, to document how the scene has changed. Roots then and now photographs, presented together in this volume along with his wry commentary, document the transformation of a legendary New York neighbourhood for better and worsehigher rents, yes, but lower crime; displacement, but also the persistence of community and creativity. A foreword by renowned artist Peter McGough and noted Beat historian Bill Morgan shed further light on the history of the East Village. This will be an essential volume for all downtown denizens, past, present, and future. Autorid: Daniel Root, Peter McGough
