Includes bibliographical references and index."This second edition of Textile Conservation offers an up-to-date perspective on the role and practice of textile conservators, capturing the diversity of textile conservation work across the globe. The volume considers key factors that are integral to effective conservation decision-making. It achieves this by focusing on four major factors that have influenced development in textile conservation practice over the past decades: the changing context, an evolution in the way conservators think about objects, the greater involvement of stakeholders, and technical development. Features of the new edition include: Updated chapters that explain new techniques and recent developments in the field; New and updated international case studies that demonstrate conservation decision-making in practice, including assessments of the conservation of objects in some of the world's major cultural institutions; Full-colour illustrations that demonstrate conservation in practice. Textile Conservation will be essential reading for conservators around the world. It will also be of great interest to academics and students engaged in the study of the conservation of textiles, as well as museum and heritage professionals"--- Subjects: Textile fabrics;

- Ain't but a few of us : black music writers tell their story / by Jenkins, Willard,1949-editor.(CARDINAL)860981;
"Despite the fact that most of jazz's major innovators and performers have been African American, the overwhelming majority of jazz journalists, critics, and authors have been and continue to be white men. No major mainstream jazz publication has ever hada Black editor or publisher. Ain't But a Few of Us presents over two dozen candid dialogues with Black jazz critics and journalists ranging from Greg Tate, Farah Jasmine Griffin, and Robin D. G. Kelly to Tammy Kernodle, Ron Welburn, and John Murph. Theydiscuss the obstacles to access for Black jazz journalists, outline how they contend with the world of jazz writing dominated by white men, and point out that these racial disparities are not confined to jazz and hamper their efforts at writing about other music genres as well. Ain't But a Few of Us also includes an anthology section, which reprints classic essays and articles from Black writers and musicians like LeRoi Jones, Archie Shepp, A.B. Spellman, Herbie Nichols, Greg Tate, and others. Contributors.

Writers such as Edgar Allan Poe focused on such fears and helped inaugurate the horror genre. But "fear literature" had existed well before Poe in the work of various Gothic authors, including Mary Shelley. Vampires, mummies, werewolves, zombies, and invisible creatures, and psychologically warped humans became popular subjects for short and long fiction. Notable Horror Fiction Writers fills a need for an authoritative overview of horror writing. It explores the lives of relevant writers, the reception of relevant texts, and the history of the tradition as it has unfolded over the last four hundred years. Focusing on the existential as well as the psychological, these volumes highlight the literary qualities of horror literature and discuss their social, historical, and cultural contexts. Essays cover horror writings from the 1700s to the present day and establish the essence of this literary genre, exploring its most significant and influential figures and their work. Detailed analyses of selected works by each author follow a biography, illuminating the artistry that makes these writings not only important horror works but also simply works of art in themselves, reflecting society in a particular historical moment but also remaining timeless. Essays cover writers such as Oscar Wilde, Bram Stoker, Shirley Jackson, Sheridan le Fanu, and many more. Entries conclude with a selected list of works by the author, a bibliography, and suggested further reading. The body of each article is arranged as follows: Biography provides facts about upbringing and the environment that shaped each writer. When details are scarce, historical context is provided. These biographies often point to the source of a writer's particular "genius," showing how an individual's relationship with the world around them informs their work. Analysis considers the overall arc of a writer's career. The characters that inhabit their writings, the plots and themes they turn to, and their writing style are considered carefully. Works provides a close up look at various writings by each author, covering the plot and theme of each story as well as the historical context and reception of the work. Selected Works and Bibliographies. Additionally, Notable Horror Fiction Writers features a collection of horror poetry, an often neglected but important subcategory. This section includes horror poems from the English Renaissance and Restoration periods, the Romantic period, the Victorian period, and more. A group of essays follows which examine specific aspects of horror literature including gothic novels, graphic novels, and young adult horror, to name a few. Back matter includes supporting features of particular interest to those studying horror writers: Bram Stoker Awards, Bibliography, and Subject Index. Designed to introduce readers at the high school and university level to the rich world of horror fiction, this two-volume collection will provide students with careful research and resources for further exploration into these accomplished and indispensable writers. -- From Publisher's Website.- Subjects: Horror tales; Supernatural in literature.; Horror tales; Horror tales;

- How Lovely the Ruins : Inspirational Poems and Words for Difficult Times / by Alexander, Elizabeth,1962-author.(CARDINAL)334691; Alexander, Elizabeth,1962-writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)334691;
"In our tumultuous cultural and political climate, many Americans are finding hope and meaning in poetry and inspirational quotes, as noted by numerous media outlets such as The Atlantic, The Guardian, and NPR, and as evidenced by the frequent posting of poetry online. Like many of us, the editors at Spiegel & Grau were inspired by the shared poems, and put together this collection of poems and words for difficult times. Contributors include Maya Angelou ("Still I Rise"), W.H. Auden, Danez Smith, Naomi Shihab Nye, Maggie Smith, Alice Walker, Langston Hughes, Elizabeth Alexander, and many others. This is an uplifting volume that will be read for years to come by anyone facing challenging circumstances"--"This wide-ranging collection of inspirational poetry and prose offers readers solace, perspective, and the courage to persevere. In times of personal hardship or collective anxiety, words have the power to provide comfort, meaning, and hope. The past year has seen a resurgence of poetry and inspiring quotes--posted on social media, appearing on bestseller lists, shared from friend to friend. Honoring this communal spirit, How Lovely the Ruins is a timeless collection of both classic and contemporary poetry and short prose that can be of help in difficult times--selections that offer wisdom and purpose, and that allow us to step out of our current moment to gain a new perspective on the world around us as well as the world within. The poets and writers featured in this book represent the diversity of our country as well as voices beyond our borders, including Maya Angelou, W. H. Auden, Danez Smith, Rumi, Emily Dickinson, Naomi Shihab Nye, Alice Walker, Adam Zagajewski, Langston Hughes, Wendell Berry, Anna Akhmatova, Yehuda Amichai, and Robert Frost. And the book opens with a stunning foreword by Elizabeth Alexander, whose poem "Praise Song for the Day," delivered at the inauguration of President Barack Obama, ushered in an era of optimism. In works celebrating our capacity for compassion, our patriotism, our right to protest, and our ability to persevere, How Lovely the Ruins is a beacon that illuminates our shared humanity, allowing us connection in a fractured world.
