  Medieval Education - The Rise of...

  During the early medieval period, education in Europe was primarily shaped by the influence of the Church. With the decline of the Western Roman Empire, formal education systems deteriorated, leaving monasteries and cathedral schools as the main centers of learning. These institutions preserved classical knowledge and played a crucial role in the intellectual revival of the Middle Ages. Monastic and cathedral schools provided education for clergy members and, over time, expanded their reach to include nobles and, in some cases, commoners. 
  Monastic schools were among the earliest centers of learning, with monks serving as teachers and scribes. These schools focused on religious instruction, teaching Latin, biblical texts, and theological commentaries. The goal was to prepare future clergy members for service in the Church. Monastic scriptoria were responsible for copying and preserving important texts, ensuring the transmission of classical and Christian knowledge. While most students in monastic schools were destined for religious life, some noble families sent their sons for education in literacy and administration, as the Church held significant political influence. 
  Cathedral schools emerged as a response to the growing demand for education beyond monastic settings. They were often attached to large churches or bishoprics and provided instruction to a wider audience, including future clergymen, royal officials, and scholars. These schools offered a more structured curriculum, covering subjects such as grammar, rhetoric, and logic, which formed the foundation of medieval education. Over time, cathedral schools developed into important intellectual hubs, attracting students from various regions. The presence of prominent teachers and scholars helped establish certain cathedral schools as precursors to medieval universities.

  The Wireless World sets out a new research agenda for the history of international broadcasting, and for radio history more generally. It examines global and transnational histories of long-distance wireless broadcasting, combining perspectives from international history, media and cultural history, the history of technology, and sound studies. It is a cowritten book, the result of more than five years of collaboration. Bringing together their knowledge of a wide range of different countries, languages, and archives, the coauthors show how broadcasters and states deployed international broadcasting as a tool of international communication and persuasion. 
   
   
   
  Exploring the idea of a "wireless world," a globe connected, both in imagination and reality, by radio, The Wireless World sheds new light on the transnational connections created by international broadcasting. Bringing together all periods of international broadcasting within a single analytical frame, the study reveals key continuities and transformations. It looks at how wireless was shaped by internationalist ideas about the use of broadcasting to promote world peace and understanding, at how empires used broadcasting to perpetuate colonialism, and at how anti-colonial movements harnessed radio as a weapon of decolonization.

  “Friendship, love and a beautiful sense of togetherness sew together this gem of a book. B Michael...presents to us a portrait of a woman who was a rare gift to fashion and culture.” —EDWARD ENNINFUL, OBE, Editor-in-Chief, British Vogue & European Editorial Director, Vogue 
  A poignant and glorious photographic memoir that pays homage to the lifelong friendship between the legendary Cicely Tyson and acclaimed fashion designer B Michael, who worked with her to make her gorgeous through her last bow. 
  What greater act of friendship is there than making someone dear look and feel their most beautiful and powerful? That was the priceless gift acclaimed designer B Michael gave to one of Hollywood’s greatest actresses, Cicely Tyson over the course of their close, decades-long relationship. In this glorious memoir, B Michael recalls the bond they shared and what it was like to dress the Queen of Hollywood for all the extraordinary events of her life. 
  In 2005, B was summoned to create a suitable wardrobe for Ms. Tyson for a high-octane weekend hosted by Oprah Winfrey. That first successful interaction led to a nearly twenty-year-long personal and professional collaboration that defined the Hollywood star’s personal aesthetic and showcased her impeccable personality and style. B was with Ms. Tyson for the most glamorous times—the Academy Awards, the Emmy Awards, White House functions, glittering galas, high-profile funerals—as well as the tenderest days. Their circle included a who’s who of Black celebrities, including Sidney Poitier, Barack Obama, Common, Whitney Houston, Beyoncé, Lenny Kravitz, Viola Davis, Oprah, Tyler Perry, Valerie Simpson, Phylicia Rashad, and many more, most of whom are featured in personal and paparazzi photographs in these pages. 
  Throughout their time together, B and Cicely enjoyed shocking the fashionistas, shattering inane rules limiting what a woman of a certain age should wear, devoted themselves to changing the world for the better through philanthropic efforts, laughed, cried, and inspired and celebrated each other’s excellence. In this stunning book, B shares every aspect of their time together—from the drama of a good sleeve to how to be the best friend possible to those we love. 
  Whether you’re a fan of pop culture, couture, Hollywood, B, or Cicely Tyson, Muse is a reminder that we all have the power to be showstoppers in our own lives. 
  Includes written contributions from Lenny Kravitz, Bridget Foley, Susan Fales Hill, and Valerie Simpson.
