The monochrome - a single-colour work of art - is highly ambiguous. For some it epitomizes purity, and is art reduced to its essence. For others it is just a stunt, the emperor's new clothes. Why are monochromes so admired, yet such an easy target of scorn? In this illuminating book Simon Morley unpacks the meanings of the monochrome as it developed internationally over the twentieth century to today. In doing so he explores more general questions such as how artists have understood what they make, how critics variously interpret it and how art is encountered by viewers.

C'è una forte energia dentro di noi che contiene il seme del risveglio. Possiamo nasconderla agli altri, ma non a noi stessi. Se ignorata o usata impropriamente può bruciarci, ma se sappiamo metterla a frutto può scaldarci, proteggerci e rivoluzionare la nostra vita. Si chiama \"ombra\". La nostra ombra è costituita da tutto ciò che nascondiamo agli altri: ciò di cui ci vergogniamo, le nostre paure e ferite, ma anche i nostri talenti nascosti, la nostra bellezza abbagliante e il nostro spirito divino. E il nostro lato oscuro, ma a differenza di quanto siamo abituati a pensare non è qualcosa di \"negativo\" o \"maligno\": è semplicemente un aspetto \"non ancora illuminato\". In questo libro Charlie Morley ci guida in un affascinante viaggio alla scoperta di noi stessi: attraverso una serie di pratiche del sogno lucido e di veglia che derivano dal buddhismo tibetano, dalla meditazione mindfulness e dalla scienza contemporanea, scopriremo come liberare la nostra creatività, trasformare gli incubi e i traumi, ridurre lo stress e dissolvere ansie e paure tanto radicate da non saperne l'origine, imparando a illuminare il nostro buio con delicatezza e profondità.

For fans of ITV's 'Des', starring David Tennant as Dennis Nilsen.\n\nOnly one TV interview with a serial killer has ever been recorded in a British jail and broadcast. This is the exclusive story of that dramatic event, carried out by award-winning documentary maker Mike Morley with Dennis Nilsen, then the country's most prolific murderer.\n\nIn what became front page news, Morley overcame two eleventh hour government attempts (in the High Court and Court of Appeal) to stop ITV in the UK screening any extracts of the Nilsen interview. Controversially, the court ruled no more than 4 minutes of a four-hour interrogation should ever be shown.\n\nThe Dennis Nilsen Tapes: In Jail with Britain's Most Infamous Serial Killer covers those full four hours, plus two days spent face to face with Nilsen in Albany Prison and two years of graphic correspondence and confessions from the infamous Scottish serial killer.\n\nWith fresh insight from world famous psychological profilers and a leading pathologist, Morley completes almost three decades of investigation into what turned the former chef, policeman and civil servant into one of the world's most notorious murderers and necrophiles.

Indipendente e coraggiosa, Kitty Foyle è la tipica donna in carriera americana. Lavora per la bizzarra Delphine Detaille, creatrice di un famoso profumo, e condivide la casa con altre ragazze, grandi chiacchierone, fumatrici e bevitrici di caffè. In Kitty coesistono l'ansia e la frenesia di New York e la mentalità piccolo borghese del Midwest, le voglie del nascente consumismo e le preoccupazioni che accompagnarono il crollo della Borsa nel 1929. Ma quanto le è costato emanciparsi e seguire i propri desideri di donna? Per Kitty è arrivato il momento di riflettere su ciò che ha perduto e su ciò che ha trovato durante la sua vita. L'infanzia passata a occuparsi del burbero padre irlandese, l'abbandono degli studi, poi l'arrivo nella metropoli, il lavoro, la passione per gli abiti alla francese e per i cocktail dai nomi altisonanti. Ma un posto speciale è riservato a Wyn, un gentleman dal tipico portamento inglese che accavalla le gambe in modo inimitabile e di cui è profondamente innamorata... Christopher Morley tratteggia con spirito elegante l'America degli anni Trenta attraverso lo sguardo impertinente e scanzonato di una donna proiettata nel futuro. Pubblicato nel 1939 e presentato oggi in Italia nella sua versione integrale, \"Kitty Foyle\" fu subito un best seller. Una trasposizione cinematografica del 1940, che valse l'Oscar a Ginger Rogers, lanciò lo stile \"alla Kitty Foyle\".

Quando la moglie di Louis Wain si ammalò, per distrarla dal dolore e tirarsi su di morale la coppia adottò un gattino randagio a cui venne dato il nome Peter. È lui il protagonista di questo racconto illustrato, e la sua fisionomia avrebbe fatto parte di molta della produzione futura dell’autore. Dai gatti più realistici ai gatti intenti in attività squisitamente umane – fumare, leggere, giocare a carte – fino ai gatti caleidoscopici e psichedelici della sua ultima produzione, Louis Wain creò un immaginario mitico e indelebile che venne amato dai suoi contemporanei, tra cui Wells e Galsworthy. La sua fama è rimasta intatta nel tempo, tanto che a lui è ispirato il film \"The Electrical Life of Louis Wain\", interpretato da Benedict Cumberbatch.

Beginning with the real-life encounter between the poet John Clare and a Gypsy named Wisdom Smith, David Morley reinvigorates the sonnet sequence to stage the fellowship that develops between the two men. We see the Gypsy and the poet banter, argue and teach each other lessons; work, love, and lose what they have loved. The central section of the book enacts Clare's own belief in the creative forms of nature itself: 'I found the poems in the fields / And only wrote them down'.

A celebratory and beautiful mixture of memoir, social history and cultural observation, Paul Morley's The North is a unique portrait of Northern England and almost everything within it\n\n'Breathtaking tour de force' Mail on Sunday\n\n'Packed with raw emotions and ambivalent passions ... Morley writes with care and precision, though, and his rhythm is such that his book is a lively, breezy read' Sunday Times\n\nPaul Morley grew up in Reddish, less than five miles from Manchester and even closer to Stockport. Ever since the age of seven Morley has always thought of himself as a northerner. What that meant, he wasn't entirely sure. It was for him, as it is for millions of others in England, an absolute, indisputable truth. Forty years after walking down grey pavements on his way to school, Paul explores what it means to be northern and why those who consider themselves to be believe it so strongly.\n\nLike industrial towns dotted across great green landscapes of hills and valleys, Morley breaks up his own history with fragments of his region's own social and cultural background. Stories of his Dad spreading margarine on Weetabix stand alongside those about northern England's first fish and chip shop in Mossley, near Oldham. \n\nAmbitiously sweeping and beautifully impressionistic, without ever losing touch with the minute details of life above the M25, The North is an extraordinary mixture of memoir and history, a unique insight into how we, as a nation, classify the unclassifiable.

In The Man Who Built the Berlin Wall, Nathan Morley brings to life the story of the longtime leader of the German Democratic Republic. Drawing from a wealth of untapped archival sources - and firsthand interviews with Honecker's lawyers, journalists, and contemporary witnesses - Morley paints a vivid portrait of how an uneducated miner's son from the Saarland rose to the highest ranks of the German Communist Party.\n\nHaving survived a decade of brutality in Nazi prisons, Honecker emerged as an ambitious political player and became the shadowy mastermind behind the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961, a crucial moment in twentieth-century history.\n\nAlthough frequently on the verge of being relegated to obscurity, he managed to overthrow strongman Walter Ulbricht at the height of the Cold War and reigned supreme over the GDR between 1971-1989.\n\nHowever, by 1980, the Honecker honeymoon was on the wane as a decade of economic and social difficulties blighted the GDR. Then, as tumultuous changes swept through the Soviet bloc, everything in and around him collapsed in 1989. His health, his certainties, his ideology, his apparatus of power, and his beloved SED party.\n\nTerminally ill, he was literally kidnapped from Russia to answer for his crimes in a Berlin court.\n\nA controversial figure, Honecker's notorious philandering, his difficult relationship with his wife Margot, penchant for porn, addiction to hunting, and gilded lifestyle at a forest settlement north of Berlin are all brought into sharp focus.\n\nAlthough haunted by the fall of the Berlin Wall, Erich Honecker died in 1994, still believing the GDR was the envy of the world.

'A wonderful account of a life filled with far more ups and downs than its subject's languid demeanour ever suggested.' \n\nMiles Jupp.\n\nEven if the name doesn't ring a bell, you'd recognise David Tomlinson's face - genial and continually perplexed, he was Mr Banks in Mary Poppins, Professor Browne in Bedknobs and Broomsticks and Peter Thorndyke in The Love Bug. To many, he's the epitome of post-war British comedy.\n\nBut at times his life was more tragedy than comedy. A distinguished RAF pilot in the Second World War, his first marriage was to end in horrific tragedy and his next romance ended with his lover marrying the founder of the American Nazi Party. He did find love and security in his second marriage, but drama still played its part in his life - from the uncovering of an earthshattering family secret to the fight for an autism diagnosis for his son, up against the titans of the British medical establishment.\n\nTomlinson may have died over twenty years ago, but his star continues to shine. In Disney's British Gentleman, Nathan Morley reveals the remarkable story of one of Disney's most beloved icons for the very first time.

As artists push further and further beyond their, and our, comfort zones, this book aims to help decipher the bizarre and often intimidating aspects of modern and contemporary art by exploring twenty works of art in terms of seven 'keys'. History, biography, aesthetics, experience, theory, criticism and the market represent conventional 'modes of existence' for every artwork discussed, but in a fascinating variety of ways. Simon Morley shows how twenty well-known but little-understood works of art can serve as useful springboards not only for understanding each other, but also for appreciating works by the same artists, and from the wider world of art in general. \n\nRather than proceeding on the basis of familiar art 'movements' or '-isms', Morley focuses on just twenty individual works of art, from Matisse's The Red Studio to Doris Salcedo's Untitled. Representing a variety of media, styles, subjects and intentions, being the creations of men and women of different periods and places, coming from disparate social and ethnic backgrounds, these works show a rich diversity in modern and contemporary art.

A new concise history of modern painting, offering an indispensable reference to the complexities and characteristics of this medium. \n \n While acknowledging the legacy of Herbert Read’s classic 1959 study A Concise History of Modern Painting in the World of Art series, academic and artist Simon Morley places the foundation of modern art much earlier than Read, at the emergence of Romanticism and the dawn of the industrial age. Structured loosely chronologically by period, the focus is as much on individual artists as well as movements, with works discussed within a broader context - stylistic, historical, geographical, and gender and ethnic frames - themes that recur throughout the chapters. Generously illustrated, the global and diverse range of artists featured include William Blake, Édouard Manet, Hilma af Klint, Kazimir Malevich, Willem de Kooning, Amrita Sher-Gil, Faith Ringgold, and Kehinde Wiley.\n \n This guide also includes an Appendix in the form of questions the reader might like to ask in relation to the artists and the ideas discussed - in order to reconsider the works from a contemporary perspective.

As the spies grow in confidence, they begin to meddle in the lives of the inhabitants.

They start to turn on one another.\n\n\n\nThen one of the spies strikes up an unlikely friendship with a young actress, Ava, and together they begin to plot their escape...\n\n\n\nRooted in concerns about surveillance capitalism and told in polyphonic, dark and witty episodes, the novel reveals a society under threat. Thought-provoking, frightening and funny in equal measure, The Shadowing of Combfoot Chase asks us to consider the consequences of privacies being eroded through hyper-surveillance, and challenges us not to take our freedoms for granted.

La rosa è senza dubbio la regina dei fiori. È semplicemente ovunque, non solo nella vita quotidiana, ma anche nell'arte, nella letteratura e nella cultura pop, da quando in Medio Oriente, due millenni fa, si fece conoscere per il suo profumo e per le sue proprietà medicinali. Da allora la rosa non ha perso nulla del suo fascino, anzi, ha viaggiato nel mondo diventando uno dei fiori più adorati in tutti i Paesi. Quello che è meno chiaro è come e perché proprio lei tra tutti i fiori sia diventata così onnipresente, fonte o ornamento di tanti miti, iconografie, linguaggi simbolici: la rosa è cristiana e pagana, mistica e terrena, richiama la bellezza più pura come il presagio della sua corruzione; rappresenta l'amore romantico ma lascia intravedere il vizio e il peccato; può servire a dire la passione più sincera e la più crudele delle bugie. Il segreto della sua fortuna sta nell'essere un meme di antichissima origine, capace di viaggiare lungo le generazioni e le società; anzi, la rosa è un «potente amalgama di memi, un memeplex di grande successo che per evolversi o replicarsi si è adattato al rinnovamento degli ambienti culturali, si è dotato di difese a tutela di certi propri aspetti e nel frattempo è rimasto sempre connesso, in quanto schema significativo di informazioni, alla mente umana». Dai Sonetti di Shakespeare al rock dei Grateful Dead, dall'Inghilterra vittoriana all'alta moda francese, Simon Morley con il suo \"Non solo rose\" ci racconta la storia curiosa e affascinante di un fiore che, con la sua malia e la sua resistenza, ha sedotto il mondo intero, in ogni epoca e a ogni latitudine. E quando ci capiterà di guardarne una, sapremo meglio quello che abbiamo sempre intuito: una rosa non è mai solo una rosa.

Headlines are probably the most read of all written texts. This book looks at their typical lexis and grammar and examines a mechanism which is frequently fount both in headlines and in newspapers in general, the extended noun phrase.

- This book interrogates how queer epistemologies can interact with wider contemporary and emergent global issues in higher education such as inclusion, women in leadership; internationalisation, epistemic justice, decolonisation, meritocracy, and digitalisation. - It examines and dismantles normative logics about the contexts, hierarchies, and binaries of higher education - especially in relation to current crisis discourse and concerns about the new normal - It articulates a global analysis from different countries and continents and explores the ways in which norms are reinforced in responses, resistance, and implementation of inclusion discourses in higher education.

'Fascinating...I'll never look at a rose in quite the same way again.' Adrian Tinniswood\n\n\n\nThe rose is bursting with meaning. Over the centuries it has come to represent love and sensuality, deceit, death and the mystical unknown. Today the rose enjoys unrivalled popularity across the globe, ever present at life's seminal moments.\n\n\n\nGrown in the Middle East two thousand years ago for its pleasing scent and medicinal properties, it has become one of the most adored flowers across cultures, no longer selected by nature, but by us. The rose is well-versed at enchanting human hearts. From Shakespeare's sonnets to Bulgaria's Rose Valley to the thriving rose trade in Africa and the Far East, via museums, high fashion, Victorian England and Belle Epoque France, we meet an astonishing array of species and hybrids of remarkably different provenance.\n\n\n\nThis is the story of a hardy, thorny flower and how, by beauty and charm, it came to seduce the world.
