Synopsis

Directly across from the Raffles Hotel Arcade was once a movie theatre that, for an evening at a time, whisked an entire generation away from the grimy streets of 1960s Singapore. In these cinematic pages, we delve into the many lives of 331 North Bridge Road: as rubber factory, postwar cabaret, trade union headquarters and more, tracing the stories of two individuals as they thread through this unlikely window between worlds. Will the old building give up its secrets? Part memoir, part historical reimagination, Odeon examines what it takes to build a life—or a nation—at the crossroads of fate.

    Peter Lord, considered to be the greatest living scholar on Welsh visual art and culture, surveys the evolution of the visual culture of Wales from the Renaissance to the end of the twentieth century in this new, single-volume history. Written for everyone with an interest in the art and history of Wales, the volume illustrates some 400 landscapes and portrait paintings, prints and sculptures from artists such as Augustus John, Ceri Richards, Christopher Williams and many more. The author describes both how the work emerged from its Welsh historical context and was related to the art of other cultures. Revealing the many discoveries made since its first publication of the Visual Culture of Wales series in 1998, The Tradition is the only study now in print that encompasses the whole field of Welsh visual art. It is published with the support of the National Museum of Wales, The Paul Mellon Foundation, the National Library of Wales, the Marc Fitch Fund, Swansea University and the Welsh Book Council.
    Includes new and expanded material not originally featured within Lord's Visual Culture of Wales series.

    The majority of the world now lives in some form of urban environment. But as the human footprint of brick, concrete and metal expands, our proximity to nature decreases. This is a problem; nature isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. And it’s vital to our wellbeing. 
    From tiny urban forests in Tokyo and the star-rich skies of Flagstaff, to the meandering waters of Munich and prowling lions of Nairobi, this is a globe-spanning look at how to bring nature into the places we live – and how to create the wild cities of the future. 
    'Thought-provoking' GEOGRAPHICAL 
    'An excellent, meticulously researched book' COUNTRY LIFE 
    In this thought-provoking non-fiction science journey, Fitch explores the environmental sciences behind urban ecology, revealing how planning and architecture can rebuild ecosystems and safeguard habitats. With a travel writer’s eye and a conservationist’s urgency, he argues for protection of land and a special kind of ecotourism that helps us use cities as living, breathing refuges for nature. 
    For fans of Travis Elborough (The Writer's Journey), Derek Thompson (Hit Makers), Ezra Klein (Why We're Polarized), Robert Macfarlane (Is a River Alive?), and Caitlin Doughty (From Here to Eternity).
