The third in a series of books investigating the future of the museum, following on The Future of the Museum: 28 Dialogues (2020) and Imagining the Future Museum: 21 Dialogues With Architects (2022). Rounding out the previous volumes, which examined the "software" and the "hardware" of the museum, the 38 dialogues in the third installment of the trilogy survey the social, cultural, economic, institutional, and technological conditions of the wider ecology in which museums operate. The conversations include leading figures from around the world, engaging voices not heard in the prior volumes: artists, curators, collectors, members of the art trade, sociologists, entrepreneurs, and others. Together, they offer a portrait of an art world seeking to adapt to a rapidly changing society.Andras Szanto (*1964, Budapest) advises museums, cultural institutions, and leading brands on cultural strategy. An author and editor who oversaw the National Arts Journalism Program at Columbia University, his writings have appeared in The New York Times, Artforum, The Art Newspaper, and many other publications. Szanto, who lives in Brooklyn, has been conducting conversations with art-world leaders since the early 1990s, as a frequent moderator of the Art Basel Conversations series and as the moderator of the Global Museum Leaders Colloquium at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museums of Tomorrow Roundtable at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.

And as a community we can all be healthier, stronger and get more from our climbing as we learn to eat to climb.

As the party that has held power more times than any other, the Conservatives have played a crucial role in the shaping of British society. And yet the leaders who have stood at its helm from Sir Robert Peel to Rishi Sunak, via Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher have steered the party vessel with enormously varying degrees of success, particularly latterly, when the short but destructive tenures of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss did much to damage the partys reputation for competence.The requirements, techniques and goals of Conservative leadership since the partys nineteenth-century factional breakaway have been forced to evolve almost beyond recognition and not all its leaders have managed to keep up.This comprehensive and enlightening book now fully updated with chapters on all Conservative leaders up to Rishi Sunak and an assessment of the partys leadership in relation to Brexit considers the attributes and achievements of each leader in the context of their respective time and diplomatic landscape. Offering a compelling analytical framework by which they may be judged, it also provides detailed personal biographies from some of the countrys foremost political critics and exclusive interviews with former leaders themselves.An indispensable contribution to the study of party leadership, British Conservative Leaders is the essential guide to understanding British political history and governance.

Prosperity Through Growth is a primer for reviving the UK economy, co-authored by some of our finest economic minds: celebrated US economist Dr Arthur B. Laffer, inventor of the Laffer curve; policy campaigner Matthew Elliott; businessman Michael Hintze; and founder of the Centre for Economics and Business Research Douglas McWilliams.It begins by setting out the principles of ideal economic policy the North Star of prosperity through growth and applies them to the UKs current position. The thinking takes account of the age of autocracy and AI, in which political decisions in democracies are constrained and talented and entrepreneurial people are increasingly mobile, making economic incentives even more important.The final section draws on interviews with more than thirty economic decision-makers from the worlds of business, politics and the civil service, including five Prime Ministers and nine Chancellors. The interviews give insights into the economic and political causes of low growth and provide a strategy for implementing a pro-growth agenda.Specially commissioned research shows how the UK is forecast to slide down the league table of GDP per capita over the next twenty-five years. The book argues that such a slide is not inevitable and outlines a fully costed and modelled 24/7 Growth Plan to show how the decline can be averted.

The glorious gathering-in of his achievement that is The Poems of Seamus Heaney, edited with meticulous care and luminous clarity. . . allows us for the first time to see his dozen formal collections as only the most visible peaks in a constantly rolling range of creativity. Fintan OToole, ObserverThis book is a landmark. [and] lets us see Heaneys work, whose ripples we are still learning to navigate, for the colossal achievement it is, and it reminds us that Heaney is not only a keeper but an enricher of the word-hoard. Philip Terry, GuardianThis is the long-awaited, definitive edition of Seamus Heaneys poetry. It encompasses all the poems Heaney published in his lifetime as well as the small number that appeared after his death: twelve single volumes, from Death of a Naturalist (1966) to Human Chain (2010), and those poems published in pamphlets, journals and magazines or with limited circulation. In addition, the book includes a selection of unpublished material chosen by the poets family.It is a body of work that, in its entirety, resounds with the lyrical beauty and ethical depth cited by the Nobel committee: poems which exalt everyday miracles and the living past.Critical introductions to each collection and notes that illuminate the history and development of the poems make this the essential volume for admirers of Heaneys work.Heaneys voice, by turns mythological and journalistic, rural and sophisticated, reminiscent and impatient, stern and yielding, curt and expansive, is one of a suppleness almost equal to consciousness itself. Helen VendlerMore than any other poet since Wordsworth he can make us understand that the outside world is not outside, but what we are made of. John CareyHis is "closeup" poetry - close up to thought, to the world, to the emotions. Few writers at work today, in verse or fiction, can give the sense of rich, fecund, lived life that Heaney does. John BanvilleThese poems find - in the dowsers gift and the childs perception of the world - images of the marvellous that are also wonderfully grounded. . . Heaney is a poet who deserves to be read in entirety. Jamie McKendrickFor Heaney, there were marvels enough in this world, and never mind the next. Ordinary objects and places - a sofa, a wireless, a satchel, a gust of wind, the sound of rain - were sanctified. Blake Morrison
