A volume celebrating the 175th anniversary of the founding of St Mary’s University, London.
This volume celebrates the 175th anniversary of the founding of St Mary’s University (then St Mary’s Training College). Through a series of short essays on aspects of university life and the institution’s history, augmented by a collection of more than 100 associated colour photographs of items from the university’s archives, the book paints a fascinating picture of the rich history of this thriving and inclusive Catholic university.
Trade is no longer just the ships, planes and lorries that move the goods we buy around the world or the services we consume either physically or digitally. This book examines the US, Chinese and Russian approaches to `strategic trade’ and argues that Europe must adapt or lose out.
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.
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.
The book explores how transformative adaptation might enable us to confront escalating climate chaos while not giving up hope.
