fabric - Joe Muggs - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

When a small group of enthusiasts rebelled against the increasing commercialisation of the rave scene, converting a derelict meat store in London into a venue seemed the only option to stay authentic. The meat store became and remains a cathedral for undiluted dance music with a global following. This book celebrates Fabric's phenomenal impact on club culture over the past quarter of a century. Using oral history, photography, archival ephemera and club night artwork, 25 Years of Fabric tells the story of the misfits and visionaries who made it happen, the curators and resident DJs who kept the pure beats pulsing, and the devotees who filled the floor week after week, year after year. Through highs, lows and a campaign against enforced closure, Factory stands tall as an independent, resilient international cultural icon.

Valis - Philip K. Dick - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

It began with a blinding light, a divine revelation from a mysterious intelligence that called itself VALIS. And with that, the fabric of reality was ripped open and laid bare so that anything seemed possible, but nothing seemed quite right.Part science fiction, part theological detective story in which God plays both the missing person and the perpetrator of the ultimate crime, VALIS is both disorienting and eerily funny, and a joy to read.

Chinese and Any Other Asian - Anna Sulan Masing - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

Chinese and Any Other Asian - Anna Sulan Masing - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

''Chinese'' or ''Any other Asian''. The boxes that people of vastly varied East and South East Asian heritage have to tick when declaring their ethnicity on many forms in the UK. This represents a shameful sweeping together of a diverse heritage and experience. East and South East Asian people have lived and worked in the UK for centuries, fought for the British Army in both world wars, have influenced British culture through food, writing, music and art in a multitude of ways. And yet this influence is often overlooked.People of ESEA heritage experience unique forms of racism. Asian food is mocked as unhealthy and Asian restaurants as dirty. ESEA women are exoticised and sexualised, and assumed to be the nanny of their mixed-race children. The community was scapegoated for the Covid-19 pandemic.Anna Sulan Masing addresses these issues in a comprehensive way. She explores what it means to be East and South East Asian in Britain today, and celebrates the varied experiences that make up ESEA identity. Powerful, moving and illuminating, this will be a must-read for anyone interested in the make-up of our multicultural society. ''Vital reading, but also vital in the truest sense - real, alive, full of humanity, interrogatory, empathetic, energising'' Claire Kohda, author of WOMAN, EATING

Wild about Weeds - Jack Wallington - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

Wild about Weeds is the must-have guide for modern gardeners that explains how to tame and nurture the most challenging of plants.Not all weeds are ugly uncontrollable brutes. Yes, they can be difficult and intimidating, but by learning how to grow weeds in unexpected ways you will become a better gardener with a more interesting garden.This book profiles over 50 weeds and shows you surprising ways to grow them, no matter what your garden type: from borders to boxes, sunny to shady, poor soil to rich, tropical to formal, Japanese-style to prairies. With interviews, tips and advice from celebrated gardeners, learn how to let weeds flourish without taking control. Gardening Book of the Year 2019 - The Times Best Gardening Reads of 2019 - Daily Mail Best Gardening Books of the Year - Gardens Illustrated Top Garden Books of 2019 - The English Garden "This well-argued advocacy for rebel plants shows why we should all be growing a few in our gardens." Gardens Illustrated "In this excellent guide, garden designer Wallington rehabilitates the lowly weed...Wallington''s humor ("part of me - the rebellious, weed-like part! - likes weeds purely because people tell me not to") and passion for his subject shine through on every page. This new spin on an old subject will encourage both new and seasoned gardeners to look at what''s already growing in their garden (and what could be) with fresh eyes." Publishers Weekly "A lovely, practical gardening book that celebrates the beauty and ecological value of the gorgeous plants that we have been silly enough to overlook. Gardens with native ''weeds'' are quintessentially English, tangled and tousled, and self-deprecating. Yet they burst with life, for these are plants that have evolved alongside our pollinators such as bees, and other insects that offer themselves to birds. Wild about Weeds sensibly distinguishes between the under-appreciated plants that conjure life into our gardens, and those potentially invasive species that are undesirable for good reason." Jonathan Drori CBE, author of Around the World in 80 Trees

Conspiracy Theory - Ian Dunt - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

These concise guides are an antidote to confusion, tracing major political ideas from their origins to today''s headlines. The world has always had conspiracy theories. From the Illuminati to the deep state, the JFK assassination to the death of Princess Diana - there have always been those who believe that events are manipulated by shadowy forces with sinister intent. But in recent years, conspiracism has colonised the mainstream. These days, it is a booming industry, a political strategy and a pseudo-religion - and it''s threatening the foundations of liberal democracy.Where once political battles were fought over ideas and values, it now feels as though we''re arguing over the nature of reality itself. The problem is bigger than lizard people or UFOs: left unchecked, conspiracy theories have the power to warp the fabric of society and justify unspeakable crimes.In Conspiracy Theory: The Story of an Idea , Ian Dunt and Dorian Lynskey pull back the curtain on conspiracy theories: where they come from, who promotes them, how they work, and what they''re doing to us. From biblical myth to online hysteria, this book explains what happens when the human gift for storytelling goes wrong - and how we might restore our common reality.

The Waiting Game - Nicola Clark - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

The Waiting Game - Nicola Clark - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

Every Tudor Queen had ladies-in-waiting. They were her confidantes and her chaperones. Only the Queen''s ladies had the right to enter her most private chambers, spending hours helping her to get dressed and undressed, caring for her clothes and jewels, listening to her secrets. But they also held a unique power. A quiet word behind the scenes, an appropriately timed gift, a well-negotiated marriage alliance were all forms of political agency wielded expertly by women. The Waiting Game explores the daily lives of ladies-in-waiting, revealing the secrets of recruitment, costume, what they ate, where (and with whom) they slept. We meet María de Salinas, who travelled to England with Catherine of Aragon when just a teenager and spied for her during the divorce from Henry VIII. Anne Boleyn''s lady-in-waiting Jane Parker was instrumental in the execution of not one, but two queens. And maid-of-honour Anne Basset kept her place through the last four consorts, negotiating the conflicting loyalties of her birth family, her mistress the Queen, and even the desires of the King himself. As Henry changed wives, and changed the very fabric of the country''s structure besides, these women had to make choices about loyalty that simply didn''t exist before. The Waiting Game is the first time their vital story has been told.

The State of the Universe - Pedro Ferreira - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

The State of the Universe - Pedro Ferreira - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

A masterly overview of the development of cosmological thinking from the Greeks, via Newton and Einstein, to the present day. It is science''s last and greatest challenge: fathoming the depths of the night sky. The objective: to crack the cosmic code, to unravel the blueprint for nature''s grandest conception, a machine constructed on an unimaginably vast scale - the Universe itself. Today''s model of an expanding Universe - the big bang cosmology - is actually built on principles derived from a few simple mathematical equations. Gravity-warped space time, quantum mechanics, the physics of the subatomic, these crucial insights, stemming from Einstein''s revolutionary theories of relativity, have led to a simple and elegant framework within which the whole of the Universe, over billions of years, has been described.But recent evidence has begun to make wrinkles in the neat fabric of the big bang cosmology. There is now overwhelming evidence that there is far more stuff in the Universe than we can see. What, and where, is this ''dark matter''? And it now appears that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating: something out there - some exotic ''dark energy'' - is acting against gravity to push space and time apart. While offering a critical view of how all the pieces in our current model fit together, Pedro Ferreira argues that Einstein''s Universe may be just another stepping stone towards a new, more profound and effective cosmology in the future.

The Age of Nothing - Peter Watson - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

The Age of Nothing - Peter Watson - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

The closing months of 2008 saw the world''s nations united in financial uncertainty. Amid endless reports of collapsing stock markets, failed banks, fiscal fraud and snowballing unemployment, THE AGE OF NOTHING offers a compelling insight into the demise of capitalism and the beginning of a new era.Peter Watson''s scintillating thesis argues that the unprecedented credit crunch of 2008 was the result of a fundamental change in the fabric of society - one that became truly visible only as it reached its culmination.In a commanding narrative, Watson provides a historical perspective on the shift in our attitudes towards capitalism, while exploring the philosophical roots that underpin it. Of central importance in Watson''s theory is Nietzsche''s warning regarding mankind''s responsibility for ''the death of God'' - and the consequences thereof. Nietzsche''s views on the frailty of human values in a world bereft of religious faith were echoed by writers including Tolstoy, Marx and Kandinsky - and his chilling message went on to resonate with thinkers throughout the 20th century. When Max Weber called the modern world ''disenchanted'', and argued that society must choose to create a new value system based on knowledge or else surrender and embrace a religious faith, he was the latest in a long line of intellectuals attempting to address the problem Nietzsche had laid bare.With the arrival of THE AGE OF NOTHING, the line continues. The work fills a crucial gap in our intellectual history and serves as a comprehensive study of society''s current predicament - as well as a timely answer to the question of what to do next.
