The Gospel According to St. John
In this useful work, C. Kingsley Barrett offers an insightful commentary on the book of John. Barrett seeks to view John in light of a variety of contexts, including that in which it was written, and its implications for modern-day readers. The book includes detailed notes and commentary on each chapter of John's Gospel.
Far from Equilibrium: An archaeology of energy, life and humanity
Archaeology is in crisis. Spatial turns, material turns and the ontological turn have directed the discipline away from its hard-won battle to find humanity in the past. Meanwhile, popularised science, camouflaged as archaeology, produces shock headlines built on ancient DNA that reduce humanitys most intriguing historical problems to two-dimensional caricatures. Today archaeology finds itself less able than ever to proclaim its relevance to the modern world. This volume foregrounds the relevance of the scholarship of John Barrett to this crisis. Twenty-four writers representing three generations of archaeologists scrutinise the current turmoil in the discipline and highlight the resolutio...
Hair
Much more than simply an adornment, a hairstyle evokes a moment in time and communicates an individual's concept of personal identity. Marilyn Monroe radiates Hollywood glamour, the Beatles' mop-tops embody rock-and-roll rebelliousness, Farrah Fawcett's tousled waves vividly call to mind the decadent disco era, Grace Jones' flattop symbolizes her pioneering androgyny. From Roaring Twenties bobs to punk mohawks, eighteenth-century perruques to dreadlocks and Afros, Hair is a portfolio of the iconic hairstyles that define our cultural world"--From book jacket.
Forget Yourself
Blondee lives in a strange world without memories: just four walls, fifty huts and a hundred forgotten people. She came in with the food rations. Mind and body naked, like everyone. Now she lives in a triangular hut at the edge of everything. They say she was a thief - she has long fingers - and she certainly has a reputation for taking multiple lovers. But haunted by the ghost of a fat man and dreaming of a stone woman, Blondee knows she can reshape the world - she just needs to get the world to listen...
John Barrett Kerfoot Papers
This large collection spans virtually the whole of Kerfoot's ecclesiastical career and includes references to almost every issue and important event in the Episcopal Church during the period. The collection includes official papers, documents, reports, circulars, copies of sermons and addresses, but consists chiefly of voluminous and intimate correspondence with Kerfoot's mentor, collaborator and close friend, Bishop William Rollinson Whittingham. A great deal of material concerns Kerfoot's activities in education: his years as head of the College of St. James in Hagerstown, 1842-1864; as President of Trinity College, Hartford, Conn., 1864-1866; and interest in educational enterprises elsewh...
Wimbledon
NEW FIFTH EDITION - BRINGS THE STORY FULLY UP-TO-DATE It was to raise funds for the repair of a broken pony roller, so essential for the upkeep of the lawns at their ground in Nursery Lane, Wimbledon, that the All England Croquet Club first decided to hold a tennis tournament. In this lavishly illustrated and expanded fifth edition of the definitive Wimbledon history, John Barrett has traced the process by which a small croquet club in rural Surrey has grown to become the world's most famous tennis club and home to one of the great international sporting and social occasions. It is a romantic story that reflects the ages, decade by decade, from the chivalrous Victorian days when the whalebone stays the ladies wore beneath their ankle-length dresses often drew blood and the gentlemen played in striped shirts, cricket caps and long stockings, to today's white-clad gladiators in functional attire befitting super-fit international athletes of the 21st century. Within these pages you will find all the game's heroes and heroines captured in action and in vivid detail through the lenses of the world's leading sports photographers.
John Barrett, Sir Alan Beith, Sir Menzies Campbell, Sandra Gidley, Paul Holmes and Richard Younger-Ross
This report, from the House of Commons Committee on Standards and Privileges (HCP 491, session 2009-10, ISBN 9780215545008) examines the claim that 6 Liberal-Democratic MPs (John Barrett, Sir Alan Beith, Sir Menzies Campbell, Sandra Gidley, Paul Holmes and Richard Younger-Ross), who, following the sale of the Dolphin Square estate in Westminster in 2005, tenants had received offers from the estate's new owners of a lump sum in exchange for moving out or paying a higher rent. The 6 members wrote to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards to rule on whether their decisions in respect of the offers from the new owners had been appropriate. The report sets out the Commissioners' decision in respect of the MPs concerned.
Landscape, Monuments and Society
Cranborne Chase, in central southern England, is the area where British field archaeology developed in its modern form. The site of General Pitt Rivers' pioneering excavations in the nineteenth century, Cranborne Chase also provides a microcosm of virtually all the major types of filed monument present in southern England as a whole. Much of the archaeological material has fortuitously survived, offering the fullest chronological cover of any part of the prehistoric British landscape. Martin Green began working in this region in 1968 and was joined by John Barrett and Richard Bradley in 1977 for a fuller programme of survey and excavation that lasted for nearly ten years. In this important study, they apply some of the questions in prehistory to one of the first regions of the country to be studied in such detail. The book is a regional study of long-term change in British prehistory, and contains a unique collection of data. A landmark in the archaeological literature, it will be essential reading for students and scholars of British prehistory and social and historical geography, and also for all those involved with archaeological methods.
