This special book celebrates the famous collection of stained glass by Gabriel Loire, glass-master of Chartres cathedral, installed in the chapel of St Mary’s University, London, in word, image and prayer.
The prayers, inspired by the windows, have been specially composed by Bishop Richard Moth, and meditate on the life and miracles of Mary, Mother of God, as depicted in the windows.
The windows themselves, a dazzling array of heavenly blues, yellows and reds, are brought to life through the superb photography of Sarah McKenna-Ayres. With introductory pieces by Canon Robin Gibbons and Professor Anthony McClaran setting the context, the result is a superb and inspiring volume of prayer, art and wisdom.
We invited eighteen leading British thinkers on the reform of the world financial system and what a financial system is for to form a Future of Finance Group. They included journalists, academics, financiers and officials from the Financial Services Authority, the Bank of England and the Treasury. The result is this book.
This book examines the measure of money and, in that light, the actions of the Bank of England in the lead up to the 2008 financial crisis and its aftermath.
This book sets out the principles that could underpin a strategic policy for transport. Instead of focusing piecemeal on trying (and failing) to get from place to place ever faster, we need to think about how and where we want the economy to develop, and about how new the digital technologies can help achieve this.
Focusing on Britain’s premier spa at Bath, this book examines how and why ‘taking the waters’ was regarded as an efficacious therapy by both patients and practitioners; and how and why Bath’s Mineral Water Hospital, one of the earliest voluntary hospitals to be established in the UK, ultimately became a world-renowned centre for the study and treatment of rheumatic diseases.
