Pressing On
Roni Stoneman was the youngest daughter of the pioneering country music family and a woman who overcame poverty and abusive husbands to claim the title of "The First Lady of Banjo," a fixture on the Nashville scene, and, as Hee Haw's Ironing Board Lady, a comedienne beloved by millions. Drawn from more than seventy-five hours of recorded interviews, Pressing On reveals Roni's gifts as a master storyteller. With characteristic spunk and candor, she describes her "pooristic" ("way beyond 'poverty-stricken'") Appalachian childhood, and how her brother Scott taught her to play the challenging and innovative three-finger banjo picking style developed by Earl Scruggs. She also warmly recounts Hee Haw-era adventures with Minnie Pearl, Roy Clark, and Buck Owens; her encounters as a musician with country greats like Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, June Carter, and Patsy Cline; as well as her personal struggles with shiftless and violent husbands, her relationships with her children, and her musical life after Hee Haw.

Smart Urban Mobility
This book adds a critical perspective to the legal dialogue on the regulation of ‘smart urban mobility’. Mobility is one of the most visible sub-domains of the ‘smart city’, which has become shorthand for technological advances that influence how cities are structured, public services are fashioned, and citizens coexist. In the urban context, mobility has come under pressure due to a variety of different forces, such as the implementation of new business models (e.g. car and bicycle sharing), the proliferation of alternative methods of transportation (e.g. electric scooters), the emergence of new market players and stakeholders (e.g. internet and information technology companies), an...
Laura Ashley
'Laura Ashley' became a global byword for a classic English country lifestyle. But behind the facade of the family-based business that bore both her name and the mark of her taste for 'a kind of scrubbed simple beauty' - what was Laura the woman really like? For this biography (first published in 1991) Anne Sebba drew on exclusive research and access to create a rich and nuanced portrait of a remarkable woman who became one of the leading influences on British design and marketing in the twentieth century. Laura Ashley's driving ambition, married to her feel for colour, fabric, and brilliantly simple ideas, brought her fabulous wealth and renown. But that success would exact a price, which Anne Sebba reconsiders in her new preface to this 2013 edition. 'A moving book. Anne Sebba has written a vivid, true story... with frankness and without frills.' "Sunday Telegraph"
