  How I Found the Lost Atlantis!...

  Dr. Paul Schliemann

  The article on which this audio book is based was published in the 'New York American' on October 20th, 1912.  
  The author, Dr. Paul Schliemann, claimed to be the grandson of Heinrich Schliemann (1822 - 1890), a founder of modern archaeology. In this famous archaeological hoax he makes outrageous and sensational claims about the lost continent Atlantis, and his grandfather’s research.  
  The text was written in an age when many of the Victorian adventure writers, like H. Rider Haggard in Britain, Emilio Salgari in Italy and Karl May in Germany topped reading lists. In 1912, the jungle calls of Tarzan echoed through American pulp magazines for the very first time.  
  Paul Schliemann capitalizes on the contemporary craze for his grandfather’s archaeological discoveries, for lost worlds and legendary characters like the queen of Sheba and Prester John. Since 1907, Howard Carter had been excavating in Egypt, and in 1922 Carter made his historical discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. 
  Paul Schliemann’s article is highly entertaining, and features passages reminiscent of Indiana Jones. Michael Henrik Wynn, the editor of the educational net radio stream Historyradio.org, gives a spirited performance of what has become a classic and much loved hoax in archaeological circles.

  We Don't Need No Education - The...

  We Don’t Need No Education is Kev Nixon’s uncompromising account of how modern music education lost its way - and how it could still be saved. 
  Told in two parts, it charts a transatlantic rethink of what learning music should look like. Part One begins in the UK, with Nixon’s experiences at the top of the British music industry, and his co-founding of BIMM - the Brighton Institute of Modern Music in 2001 which they opened in four cities over ten years, making BIMM the biggest music college in Europe. 
  We Don’t Need No Education exposes how universities sidelined modern music, misunderstood popular culture, and treated contemporary musicians as an academic inconvenience. Nixon argues that education became obsessed with theory, hierarchy and qualifications, while ignoring how quickly the music world was evolving to the great benefit of millions of young people. 
  Part Two moves to Detroit, Michigan where the story widens into Nixon and his wife Sarah Clayman taking their UK model and bringing it into the American higher education market, a brave and pioneering venture in possibly America’s greatest music city. Against the backdrop of 2013 Detroit, a city shaped by Motown and the motor industry, and economic collapse, Nixon & Clayman created DIME. Detroit becomes both a classroom and a case study, showing how modern music can be taught seriously without being stripped of its cultural roots. Against all odds DIME was a rapid success and opened a second college in Denver Colorado within two years of opening. 
  Across both continents, We Don’t Need No Education is also the story of Nixon and Clayman’s twenty years of unrelenting desire for the bone fide music industry to take a stake in educating for its own future. But even after deals were signed, each time the world of Private Equity was there to scupper their plans and make sure that every time, money was prioritised over music.

  In Middle Quarter, architect John Tuomey continues the story of his life in architecture. The narrative moves from intimate laments on the loss of aging parents and artist friends to reflections on the poetical and practical aspects of an architect's role in contemporary society.
  The focus shifts back and forth between personal episodes and recollected events, from the struggles of starting out in partnership with Sheila O'Donnell to their successes and failures in the international arena of architectural design.
  Written in clear and compact prose, including conceptual sketches and selected photographs, the book discloses sources of inspiration and ideas behind O'Donnell + Tuomey's distinctive and dramatic designs, including the Glucksman Gallery Cork, the Lyric Theatre Belfast and public buildings in London and Budapest.
  Middle Quarter, a mid-career memoir, is a companion volume to First Quarter, the place-based trajectory of Tuomey's first twenty-five years, published by Lilliput Press in 2023.
