What is a Designer
Combining a wide-ranging discussion of the major issues of design with detailed and practical information, Norman Potter looks at the possibilities and limits of design, considers the designer as artisan and as artist, and asks: 'What is good design?' What is a Designer prompts its readers to think and act for themselves. The work adds up to a powerful and endlessly rewarding resource for students of all ages. First published in 1969, the book is now reissued to present the enduring core of Potter's arguments. An afterword by Robin Kinross sets the work andits author in their contexts.

Anarchist Seeds beneath the Snow
From William Morris to Oscar Wilde to George Orwell, left-libertarian thought has long been an important but neglected part of British cultural and political history. In Anarchist Seeds beneath the Snow, David Goodway seeks to recover and revitalize that indigenous anarchist tradition. This book succeeds as simultaneously a cultural history of left-libertarian thought in Britain and a demonstration of the applicability of that history to current politics. Goodway argues that a recovered anarchist tradition could—and should—be a touchstone for contemporary political radicals. Moving seamlessly from Aldous Huxley and Colin Ward to the war in Iraq, this challenging volume will energize leftist movements throughout the world.
Models & Constructs
Illustrates and discusses Potter's own work and experiences as a designer, craftsman, and poet.
Herbert Read Reassessed
Herbert Read (1893–1968) acquired in his lifetime a considerable international reputation in all the major areas of his diverse activities: as poet, as educationalist, as anarchist, as philosopher (of aesthetics), as art critic, as historian of, and above all, as propagandist for modern art and design. The papers assembled in Herbert Read Reassessed offer a comprehensive and authoritative coverage of Read’s life work that is designed to stimulate debate. "An impressive volume... it manages to present a unified but not totalizing portrait of one of England’s most distinguished twentieth-century critics."—English Historical Review

Beatrix Potter
Even before she emerged from the cot in her nursery, Beatrix Potter was up against it. With her prodigious memory she recalled being placed 'under the tyranny of a cross old nurse' who introduced her to 'witches, fairies and the creed of the terrible John Calvin'. More sadness followed. She had no siblings of her own age and was brought up, virtually, in isolation. She also had a love affair that ended tragically. She was afflicted by two most unpleasant illnesses one of which affected her for the remainder of her life and she found herself often at odds with her mother. Yet, she grew up to become one of the most original of children's authors and illustrators whose books are as popula...
One Corner of London
This book, published to mark the anniversary of St Bede's Catholic church, Clapham Park tells the story of these hundred years in the parish - an extraordinary blend of human achievement, family links, buildings and bombings, joys, sorrows, disappointments, bureaucracy and real spiritual growth, all mixed up together! From the days when this corenr of London was a place of horse-drawn vehicles and children in sailor suits or dark dresses and white pinafores, to today's traffic-filled streets and denim-jeaned families, this is a record of human life centred round a little church where God is worshipped, loved and honoured. Joanna Bogle is a Catholic journalist and broadcaster whose previous books include a Book of Feasts and Seasons, a number of historical biographies and a handbook for engaged couples.
