La coopération artistique de Philip Baldwin et Monica Guggisberg a débuté il y a plus de 19 ans, en Suède. Après deux ans de travail pour Wilke Adolfsson et Ann Wolff, ils ont fondé leur propre atelier à Lausanne, en Suisse. La liste des œuvres nées de cette coopération est longue, designs " tabletop " pour les grandes verreries telles que Rosenthal, Steuben et Venini, mais aussi et surtout œuvres originales de pure création artistique. Ils ont exploité avec enthousiasme les influences les plus diverses, des formes sobres de type scandinave aux couleurs lumineuses à l'italienne.

Philip Baldwin and Monica Guggisberg have collaborated on a vast range of work, from tabletop designs, designing for major glass companies such as Rosenthal, Steuben and Venini and most importantly their own refined forms of pure artistic creation.This publication displays their dedication to clear form, concentrating on their most recent work in sculptural forms and objects created in a language uniquely their own, matched by exuberant colors, dominated by a sense of harmony and proportion.
As Conservative party leader from 1923 to 1937 and three times prime minister, Stanley Baldwin was one of the pre-eminent public figures of interwar Britain. This edition of his letters, reports of his private conversations and related documents and illustrations, has two purposes. It publishes sources giving considerable insight into the nature and conduct of Conservative politics and government, with inside accounts of such national events as the destruction of the Lloyd George coalition, the protectionist election, and the Abdication. It also provides a documentary life and portrait of an intriguing, much-liked but controversial statesman. The personal qualities of few modern politicians have aroused so much puzzlement and criticism as Baldwin's. This volume will therefore be indispensable for understanding his character and career and for future studies of British politics and public life in the 1920s and 1930s.

This book is both an examination of one of the dominant figures of twentieth-century British politics, and a contribution to the understanding of political leadership and Conservative ideology. It reinterprets the career of Stanley Baldwin, Conservative leader 1923-37 and three times prime minister, in terms of his construction of a "public character," his exploitation of the new mass media, and his exposition of a distinctive Conservative doctrine and language. Baldwin's remarkable ascendancy is shown to have been based on his manipulation of widely-held "national values."

A compelling and original recovery of Native American resistance and adaptation to colonial America With rigorous original scholarship and creative narration, Lisa Brooks recovers a complex picture of war, captivity, and Native resistance during the “First Indian War” (later named King Philip’s War) by relaying the stories of Weetamoo, a female Wampanoag leader, and James Printer, a Nipmuc scholar, whose stories converge in the captivity of Mary Rowlandson. Through both a narrow focus on Weetamoo, Printer, and their network of relations, and a far broader scope that includes vast Indigenous geographies, Brooks leads us to a new understanding of the history of colonial New England and of American origins. Brooks’s pathbreaking scholarship is grounded not just in extensive archival research but also in the land and communities of Native New England, reading the actions of actors during the seventeenth century alongside an analysis of the landscape and interpretations informed by tribal history.
