  Thomas Henry Lyon - Architect...

  Michael Yelton

  • 0

  Thomas Henry Lyon (1869–1953) was an important architect whose work has often been ignored, because he did not take up the Modernist ideas of many of his contemporaries. His work was also almost entirely concentrated in either Cambridge or the edge of Dartmoor. His contribution to the inter-War development of the Colleges of Cambridge was immense and often overlooked: this book seeks to restore his reputation.
  
   
  The book restores to public consciousness the extensive architectural work carried out by Lyon, particularly in Cambridge, and does not gloss over the disaster of a church in Wembley which had to be closed after less than 30 years. It also looks at the important work he carried out in South Australia in the pre-1914 age, as well as his masterly reconstruction and furnishing of Sidney Sussex College chapel, which established his reputation. It has been extensively researched in archives across England, but particularly in those of the Colleges of Cambridge.

  Cliché-Verre - Miniatures On Glass

  Brian Allan Skinner

  Cliché-verre is a technique of etching and painting directly on photographic negatives. The term means “glass negative” in French and is as old as photography itself, dating to the 1840s and earlier. The first successful photographic process involved coating glass plates with light-sensitive chemicals from which reversed (positive) prints could be made. Artists experimented with drawing, etching, and combining images directly on the glass, resulting in fanciful black-and-white prints. But few artists were inspired to develop the idea further until the advent of color photography in the early 20th Century. 
  The Magic Lantern, long predating photography, was invented by Christiaan Huygens, a Dutch astronomer and physicist, in the 1600s. It is a simple device for projecting images, based upon the centuries-old principles of the “camera obscura” or “darkened room.” When the photographic process evolved to  
  film rather than glass plates, the technology spread. Color film arrived in the 1930s. There were now both film negatives and positives (slides). 
  Brian Allan Skinner is the author of six volumes of illustrated fiction. His experiments with cliché-verre began in the 1960s. Here are 50 examples of his work from the past half-century, in brilliant color. In the epilogue, he explains his process in detail.

  The Absolute at Large

  The Absolute at Large by Karel Čapek is a thought-provoking science fiction novel that blends satire, philosophy, and speculative imagination to explore the unintended consequences of technological and scientific advancement. Written with wit and intellectual depth, this classic work examines how humanity responds when an invention reshapes society in ways far beyond its original purpose.
  
  The story centers on a groundbreaking technological discovery that produces unexpected and far-reaching effects on the world. As the invention spreads, it begins to influence not only industry and economics but also human behavior, belief systems, and global stability. What begins as a promising innovation gradually transforms into a force that disrupts established order and challenges the very foundations of civilization.
  
  Karel Čapek uses this premise to craft a sharp and insightful critique of modern society. Through a blend of narrative storytelling and philosophical reflection, he explores how progress, when unchecked or misunderstood, can lead to unforeseen chaos. The novel balances humor and seriousness, offering both entertainment and deep intellectual engagement.
  
  Themes of technology, progress, religion, human nature, societal change, power, and unintended consequences run throughout the narrative. It raises important questions about the relationship between scientific discovery and moral responsibility, and whether humanity is prepared for the forces it creates.
  
  The Absolute at Large stands as an early and influential work of science fiction. With its imaginative premise and satirical edge, it continues to resonate with readers who enjoy classic speculative fiction that challenges assumptions about progress, civilization, and the future of humanity.
