Mahler's Heavenly Retreats
Keith James Clarke, the architect who also has a passion for the music of Mahler used "archive photographs and measured surveys to create a set of architectural drawings that uniquely describe key buildings and the sites they occupy where Mahler composed. Crucially, the drawings recreate the environment Mahler knew during his day - not as it is today. With the aid of these drawings I use my expert knowledge of the notion of 'place' - the morphology of sites and my understanding of space - to evaluate key places in Mahler's life, the reasons for their importance and their associations with his music. In this book, a series of architectural, philosophical, environmental, aural, contextual, experiential, aesthetic and practical considerations reveal the roots of Mahler's inspiration."--Back cover.

New Faces of the Fur Trade
New Faces of the Fur Trade is a collection of fifteen essays selected from the Seventh North American Fur Trade Conference held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1995. These articles question the traditional focus of fur trade literature and suggest that there are richer, more diverse narratives to be constructed and new ways to look at the fur trade. Many focus on subjects and themes that either have been formerly overlooked or have been introduced and then neglected. Fur trade studies have been criticized for remaining outside the current mainstream of historiography, in particular for paying scant attention to the rich insights to be found in approaches adopted from the fields of social and gender history. This volume redresses some of those omissions.

The Litten Path
March, 1984. Britain's miners face political opposition. Soon, the State will confront them, violent forces will be unleashed and the country will change forever.The Newmans have enough on their plate without a strike to contend with. Arthur hates working at the pit, his unhappy wife, Shell, doesn't know what she wants and their lonely son Lawrence has no say in anything - especially a late night mission to Threndle House, home of disgraced politician Clive Swarsby and his two mysterious children. When Lawrence and Arthur take an abandoned rug from the house, their family is plunged into crisis. Then there is the small matter of the pickets . . .Taking in controversial events such as the Battle of Orgreave, The Litten Path is an exceptional debut set against the sunless landscapes of a country now lost in time. Grimly honest and tender, tough and lyrical, comic and painful, it is about class friction, the clash between the urban and the rural. It is about what happens when a decision is made, when one cannot turn back.
