About this deal

What’s more, there was encouragement for Caribbeans to journey to Britain to take up post WWII jobs! They would also only drop off a case of books and leave us to run it – it was so lovely to have you on hand to chat to the children and recommend them books, as well as the small (but appreciated! I would thoroughly recommend for lovers of music and/or history, particularly political and cultural history. The Story of Scottish Art is beautifully illustrated with the diverse artworks that form Scotland’s long tradition of bold creativity: Pictish carved stones and Celtic metalwork; Renaissance palaces and chapels; paintings of Scottish life and landscapes by Horatio McCulloch, David Wilkie and Joan Eardley; designs by master architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh; and collage and sculpture by Pop Art pioneer Eduardo Paolozzi. From Lord Kitchener and Winifred Atwell to Ms Dynamite and Stormzy, Jeffery has shown the strength and cultural significance of Black music.

The book redefines British history, the Empire, and post colonialism, and invites readers to immerse themselves in music and think again about the narratives and key moments in history that they have been taught up to now.

Everything he painted was ‘treated’ as a portrait, from Spanish royalty and Pope Innocent X, to a mortar and pestle. Occasionally, as an English teacher, I used to spice up teaching Wuthering Heights with a dose of Kate Bush. And what IF super bands such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Doors and Led Zeppelin to name a few were manufactured in part to usher in this new era of teen angst, alternative thought and rebellion, remember the phraseology 'turn on, tune in and drop out', nothing sinister with that message I'm sure you will agree!

The text could be used as an interesting and more extreme counterpoint to Telephone Conversation by Wole Soyinka – written a generation earlier; which might further inspire pupils to think about they would express their own experiences in the 2020s. If you've read books in this genre before such as any written by David Icke then you will feel at home with the subject matter presented to you. From Palaeolithic cave paintings to contemporary installations, Wilson deftly guides us through this world of symbols, showcasing their enduring ability to express power, hope, fear and faith, and to create and communicate identities, uniting – or dividing – the people that made them.Richard Glyn Jones has cast his net wide to gather these accounts of human oddity and eccentricity, and the standard of his writing is high, with Lytton Strachey, Derek Hudson, Christopher Sykes and Ronald Knox among the authors included. For each song, Ngadi has done a striking illustration of the musician to accompany Jeffrey’s contextualisation of the music. Jeffrey Boakye is an author, broadcaster, educator and journalist with a particular interest in issues surrounding race, masculinity, education and popular culture. It made me linger on my own memories of these songs and widen my understanding of my family's experiences.
