A celebration of the work and ambition of the women who were at the heart of the Arts and Crafts Movement.Women Pioneers of the Arts & Crafts Movement is a celebration of the work and ambition of the women who were at the heart of the most influential art and design movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It shines a light on the vital contribution of figures such as May Morris, Gertrude Jekyll, Annie Garnett, and many others, and describes the Arts and Crafts Movement from the perspective of these women who worked against the odds as artists, makers, teachers, authors, and entrepreneurs.Women of the era took part in, and often led, the founding of exhibitions, societies, art schools, and small craft industries. Some were activists and social disruptors while using their skills and talents to make a living. This book highlights the versatility and range of these talented women, who worked across a host of disciplines, including textile design, embroidery, bookbinding, illustration, painting, enameling, stained glass, metalwork, furniture design, and architecture. It is richly illustrated with a wide array of their work, much of it previously unpublished. Featuring objects from the V&A's renowned Arts and Crafts collection, the book also includes key pieces from other museums and private collections across the UK.

About this title: William Spratling revolutionized silver jewellery design in Mexico. Arriving in Taxco in 1929, by 1940 he had over 100 silversmiths producing his enormously popular silver creations. Important figures of the North American literary and art establishment, among them John dos Passos, William Faulkner and Georgia O''Keeffe, purchased his designs and sang his praises. Out of Spratling''s workshop emerged many of Mexico''s finest silver designers, including Hector Aguilar, Antonio Castillo and his brothers Jorge and Justo, Salvador Teran and Antonio Pineda. Their stiking jewellery and hollow-ware in silver - often set with precious stones and pre-Columbian artefacts - are prized collectibles.

Eminem is currently the worlds biggest and most controversial music star. He has been blasted for what many of his critics regards as overtly homophobic and misogynistic lyrics, and resented both for his record-breaking commercial success and being a white man in a black genre. But Eminems sheer talent has transcended such condemnation and established him as the most important figure to come out of popular music since Kurt Cobain. Whatever You Say I Am based on exclusive interviews with members of Eminems family, key figures in the music business, sociologists and reviewers and featuring previously unpublished photographs is the first book to reveal the man behind the controversy. Most crucially, Anthony Bozzas unprecedented access to Eminem himself makes him uniquely qualified to answer the big question why does Eminem matter? The answer is found in Eminems unlikely life story, in his extraordinary ascent to super-stardom and in an analysis of his music and lyrics. Whatever You Say I Am will keep Eminems legions of fans riveted, and will enlighten his critics.

What does a sanctuary for Hawaiian crows have in common with a troop of robots programmed to perform the Mori haka or recreations of World Heritage Sites built in Minecraft A family heirloom An endangered species An ancient piece of pottery A threatened language These things differ in myriad ways but they are tied together by a common thread they are all examples of things that call out to be saved The world is brimming with things worth saving and we have limited time and resources How do we decide what to save Why do we make these choices Philosopher Erich Hatala Matthes explores these questions as they surface in radically diverse contexts from museums to TikTok and from National Parks to the corner of your attic Matthes illustrates the deep relationship between the things we might save and our sense of self If our cares and concerns are a fundamental part of our identity then what we care for and preserve will play a significant role in shaping and maintaining our understanding of who we are In a world in which everything that we care about is subject to powerful forces of change from climate disturbance and armed conflict to social transformation and the wear and tear of time the terms on which we confront change will be key to whether and ho
