  Clubland: How the working men’s...

  The untold story of a British institution 
  ‘Brilliant.’ Alan Johnson 
  ‘Compelling.’ David Kynaston 
  ‘The beer drinkers’ Bill Bryson.’ Times Literary Supplement 
  Ferment Magazine’s Best Beer Book of the Year 
  Pete Brown is a convivial guide on this journey through the intoxicating history of the working men’s clubs. From the movement’s founding by teetotaller social reformer the Reverend Henry Solly to the booze-soaked mid-century heyday, when more than 7 million Brits were members, this warm-hearted and entertaining book reveals how and why the clubs became the cornerstone of Britain’s social life – offering much more than cheap Federation Bitter and chicken in a basket. 
  Often dismissed as relics of a bygone age – bastions of bigotry and racism – Brown reminds us that long before the days of Phoenix Nights, 3,000-seat venues routinely played host to stars like Shirley Bassey, Louis Armstrong, and the Bee Gees, offering entertainment for all the family, and close to home at that. Britain’s best-known comedians made reputations through a thick miasma of smoke, from Sunniside to Skegness. For a young man growing up in the pit town of Barnsley this was a radiant wonderland that transformed those who entered. 
  Brown explores the clubs’ role in defining masculinity, community and class identity for generations of men in Britain’s industrial towns. They were, at their best, a vehicle for social mobility and self-improvement, run as cooperatives for working people by working people: an informal, community-owned pre-cursor to the Welfare State. 
  As the movement approaches its 160th anniversary, this exuberant book brings to life the thrills and the spills of a cultural phenomenon that might still be rescued from irrelevance. 
  Pete Brown's Clubland is a cultural exploration of the British institution, weaving humour and criticism into the narrative. The book delves into the popular topic of beverages, specifically alcoholic ones, and their role in shaping regional and ethnic identities. 
  For fans of Adrian Tierney-Jones (London Local Pubs), Albert Jack (The Old Dog and Duck), David Kynaston (A Northern Wind), Marc Morris (The Anglo-Saxons), and Zadie Smith (Dead and Alive).

  Guitar Scales and Arpeggios - as...

  Guitar Scales and Arpeggios isn't just a book of scales, it will teach you how scales and arpeggios can be created on the guitar. This will provide you with a deeper understanding of the logic behind them, making them more meaningful and therefore easier to learn in the long term. For intermediate level and above.
  - The Major Scale
  It all starts with the major scale, the basis of music. All other scales and arpeggios can be defined in comparison to this scale. The book reflects this in practical terms by categorising the major scale into three different fundamental shapes, which once understood, can be used as templates to figure out other guitar scales and arpeggios. This can lead to being able to work out and learn guitar scales and arpeggios yourself.
  - The CAGED guitar system
  This system can help to understand the larger CAGED guitar scale shapes in terms of their single octave components. For example, the five CAGED shapes for the major (or minor) pentatonic scales, each containing twelve notes, can be learned as only two shapes of five notes, which are joined end to end to give us the five full CAGED shapes.
  - What Else?
  
  -  Diagrams: 600+ fretboard diagrams, plus music theory charts, other diagrams and 20+ photographic examples.
  - Key Signatures: Understand how  scale construction relates to key signatures.
  - 3-Note Per String Guitar Scales: Understand  various 3-note per string scales  as the same combination of single octave component types.
  - Chord Harmony: Explore how basic major and minor chords are formed from  scales and learn how to create harmonies using triads and 7th chords.
  - Intervals: When grouped in the context of the scales they are intended for, this helps to  learn them. Intervals are also shown individually.
  - Guitar Modes and Scales: Learn the modes and how they are created on the fretboard.
  - Guitar Arpeggios: Major, minor, major 7th, dominant 7th, minor 7th, diminished 7th, augmented, major 7th #5, dominant 7th #5, dominant 7th b5 and minor(major)7th.
  -  Scales for Guitar: Major, minor, pentatonic scales, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian (minor), Locrian, blues scale, blue grass scale, dominant pentatonic, harmonic minor, Phrygian dominant, melodic minor and Lydian dominant.
  - Symmetrical Guitar Scales: Wholetone, diminished (whole half) and diminished (half whole).
  - Questions and Answers:  Test your skills with a question for each scale and arpeggio type, with the answer in guitar tablature at the back of the book.
  Enhance your playing and deepen your understanding of the guitar with Guitar Scales and Arpeggios.

  First Quarter

  In this reflective and enriching memoir, John Tuomey navigates the places and memories of his life over the scope of twenty-five years. First recognised for the urban regeneration of Dublin's Temple Bar, which included the construction of the Irish Film Institute, the National Photographic Archive and Gallery of Photography, his life in architecture led him to design social and cultural spaces such as the Lyric Theatre in Belfast, the Glucksman Gallery in UCC and the Victoria & Albert East Museum in London.
  
  Imbued with many inter-textual references to poetry, drama and literature and written in limpid prose, this memoir is inherently literary in nature. Tuomey looks back to his early life where he was born in Tralee and lived in different counties around Ireland, from small towns to country landscapes, from schooldays in Dundalk to student activism at University College Dublin. He traces the pathways that led to his formation as an architect, reflecting on the many cultural and social influences on his life. He excels in capturing the social landscape of Dublin in the 1980s and pays particular attention to the many buildings and social hubs of the inner city. His transient years of moving from Dublin to London, and subsequently working in places like Nairobi and Milan, chronicle the international influences on his outlook. The key relationships in his life, including meeting his future wife, Sheila – a fellow student of architecture in UCD – and his pivotal employment by James Stirling in 1976, form the backbone of his personal and professional life.
  
  Tuomey's expertise in his field is unsurpassed, with meticulous detail given to the finer aspects of design and architecture. His thoughts on the challenges facing the encroaching erasure of city life in Dublin are essential reading for anyone with an interest in the future of building in the city.
