The Bloomsbury Handbook of Global Typography

# data[].attributes.description
This new handbook takes the broadest possible view of typography, defining it as 'design for reading'. It considers all kinds of reading matter and visual communication systems; digital, environmental, printed, and produced by hand.

By offering a rich collection of texts that are genuinely international in authorship and in scope, it seeks to rebalance the Western bias of so many books on the subject. It gives space to new voices and emerging standpoints about the global nature of design, the needs of particular communities of readers, and about the need for inclusivity and historical understanding in design practice and research.

Thirty-seven chapters by forty-three contributors show the interdisciplinary range of research in typography today, exemplifying the relationship between history, theory, and practice that is at the heart of the discipline. They feature over 500 illustrations, mostly in colour, and full bibliographic references.

Topics include:
Typography and sociolinguistics
Frameworks for considering scripts and multilingual documents
Historical and contemporary Arabic-script typographic practice
Designing fonts for marginalized communities in Asia, Africa, and North America
The earliest movable type in China in the tenth century
Understanding Japanese and Korean typography
Approaches to legibility
Western influence on the typography of indigenous writing systems
Political and technological factors that shape typography
Experimental and commercial publishing contexts
The type design industry today
Typography in the environment

The iconic Renaissance songbookan inspiration to love poets since the fourteenth centuryin an elegant, fluid, and inviting translation.

Petrarchs Canzoniere stands as one of the greatest and most influential collections of love poetry ever written. In a classic story of love at first sight, the young poet expresses in beautiful verse his unrequited reverence for Laura, a muse who would prove as inspirational as Beatrice to Dante. Stricken with grief after Lauras death, Petrarch transmuted his sorrow onto the page and continued working on the Canzoniere until his own passing. At once movingly romantic and grandly meditative, always present within Petrarchs lines is a tension between his earthly desire and his spiritual longing for divine grace.

In this monumental translation, the project of a lifetime, renowned poet A.M. Juster preserves the original texts formal elegance, honoring Petrarchs rhyme and meter while also capturing the profound religious and philosophical undertones that imbue the work. Rather than framing Canzoniere as mere troubadour poetry, this version, along with a panoramic introduction by Andrew Frisardi, highlights its classical roots and contemporary sensibilities. Juster, a celebrated poet and translator, brings Petrarchs vision to life with precision and grace, offering a rendition that is both faithful to the original and eminently accessible to contemporary readers.

This revelatory biography persuasively addresses the two great unresolved questions about Vermeer: why did he paint his pictures, and what do they mean?

One spring day in 1683, a notarys clerk in Delft entered the home of the late Magdalena Pieters van Ruijven and stumbled upon one of the wonders of the seventeenth-century world: twenty paintings by Johannes Vermeer. Rather than dispel the mysteries of Vermeers life, this discovery merely gave rise to more questions: How had this one Dutchwoman come to possess the majority of the masters work? And why have these imagesamong the most beautiful, even sublime, in the history of artdefied explanation for so long?

Following new leads and drawing on freshly uncovered evidence from Dutch archives, acclaimed art historian Andrew Graham-Dixon fills these long-standing gaps in art history, presenting a dramatic and transformative new interpretation of Vermeers life and work. Dixon considers Vermeer holistically, placing him in his complex historical, social, religious, political, and artistic context in order to understand what spaces he occupied in his life and how the texture of these spaces inspired his paintings and distinguished him from his artistic contemporaries. Dixon also interrogates the nature of Vermeers relationship with the Van Ruijven family, which was unlike any other known relationship in that time period, and discusses how this dynamic shaped his artistic practice.

Rich with piercingly direct descriptions of Vermeers paintings, Graham-Dixons biography is full of revelations. It upends the masters enigmatic reputation and depicts him instead as a pioneer of the early Enlightenment, a pacifist who was deeply affected by the wars and religious conflicts of the Dutch Republic and allied to a radical movement driven underground by persecution. In Vermeer: A Life Lost and Found, Dixon does what countless art historians and scholars before him failed to: he brings Johannes Vermeer, renowned for his use of chiaroscuro, out of the shadows and into the light.

From one of our most distinguished literary voices, a defining essay collection blending personal reflection with urgent political writing and wideranging cultural criticism.

For thirty years Anne Enrightone of our greatest living novelists (Times)has been paying attention: casting her lucid and distinctive gaze across the world, literature, and her own life, and gifting us with her precise insights. These essays, collated from across Enrights career, take us from Galway to Honduras, from keen-eyed memoir to urgent political writing. Enright writes about the free voices and controlled bodies of women in society: She interprets Sophocles Antigone through the lens of the Mother and Baby Homes in Galway, writes on Irelands successful 2018 referendum on abortion rights, and offers new perspectives on writers including Alice Munro, Toni Morrison, James Joyce, Helen Garner, and Angela Carter.

This stunning collection unites Enrights cultural criticism, literary, and autobiographical writing for the first time. True to the themes that saturate her award-winning fiction, Attention explores the intersection between the personal and political, the subtleties of bodily autonomy, complex family dynamics, and the challenges of intimacy in crystalline, urgent prose. Here we see Enright grappling with and answering these questions in nonfiction. It is a defining collection from one of our most distinguished literary voices.

Eight years after the catastrophic downfall of the cult his sister Izzy had joined, Marc Winters has at last found a refuge from unwanted attention. The wildlife ranger of a small, unremarkable island, he's quietly helping to preserve what survives of nature in a world wracked by climate change and chaotic weather, and trying his best to put his past behind him.

But then his narrowboat is burgled, the counterterrorism police come calling, and everything he thought he knew about the cult and his sister's fate is turned upside down. A cabal of so-called deep dreamers has revived the cult's crazy belief that the world could be healed by collective dreams fuelled by psychotropic mushrooms. They appear to think that Winters possesses information crucial to their success, and when he tries to discover more about them, he becomes inextricably entangled in plans that challenge his very existence.

Blending noir-inflected conspiracies and double-crosses, fantasies of dream science and elegiac evocations of a depleted world, Loss Protocol's chimerical story keeps its secrets until the last page

The essence of the churchs character lies in Gods mission. It is the foundational call for Gods people in every generation and the core of Gods divine purpose for the church.

In this tenth volume from the annual conference of the Africa Society of Evangelical Theology, contributors explore Gods mission and the churchs participation, reflecting on how missiology relates
to other theological fields while also being rooted in reality to ultimately encourage the churchs interaction with the world in a way that reflects Gods missionary heart. This collection of papers investigates the important connection between missiology and hermeneutics, going on to examine how missional frameworks shape theological ideas and provide insights into how the church can practically represent Gods mission in a broken world. Presenting missiology through the lenses of scriptural examinations, historical theology, systematic examinations, and practical theology, these essays work together to build a contemporary understanding of how we can put theory into practice as we consider Gods mission and the African churchs place in it.

Crisis Preaching in the Protestant Church of Egypt During and After the Arab Spring

# data[].attributes.description
Times of crisis present preachers with one of the most critical moments of their ministry as they navigate their communitys pain and vulnerability. In response to a suffering world, Dr. Anne Emile Zaki presents a homiletic of crisis based on suffering and hope, from the cultural-denominational context of the Egyptian Protestant Church. This interdisciplinary study draws from the psychology of trauma and various models of crisis preaching. While rooted in the denominations state during the Arab Spring, its implications extend to the MENA region and beyond, with a global scope that examines the churchs responses to major crises such as the world wars, apartheid, and 9/11. Dr. Zaki masterfully highlights that the churchs identity, telos, and mission are refined at the intersection of hope and suffering. As the church courageously shares in Christs suffering and resurrection, it reveals the new life and power of Gods kingdom for communities in pain.

Allied Prisoners of War in Italy, 19401943

# data[].attributes.description
This book is the first comprehensive scientific reconstruction of the captivity experience of Allied prisoners in Italy. Between 1940 and 1943, around 70,000 Allied soldiers, mostly British, were imprisoned in Italy, that was unable to fulfil its duties as a holding power, and the misery suffered by its citizens also had serious consequences for the prisoners
This work outlines the various camps in Italy and examines prisoners daily life. It recounts also the largely unexplored topic of violations of international prisoner law by the Italians and, above all, of war crimes perpetrated by them.
This book has been endorsed by Bob Moore as "an exemplary piece of scholarship that covers every aspect of the Italian prisoner-of-war regime" and by Paul Corner as "A remarkable story, charting the many aspects of British and Commonwealth servicemen in fascist Italy during the Second World War".

This book examines the causes, types, challenges, historical developments, and advancements in the treatment of war-related eye injuries. Eye injuries in war are among the most debilitating and complex wounds sustained by combatants and civilians in conflict zones. These injuries, often caused by explosions, shrapnel, projectile wounds, and chemical agents, can result in permanent vision loss, psychological trauma, and long-term disabilities. Addressing these issues requires a multidisciplinary approach involving prevention, advanced medical care, and rehabilitation which are explored in detail throughout the book.
Eye Injuries in War highlights the unique set of challenges and often life-altering consequences for individuals with eye injuries in warzones. While advancements in prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation have significantly improved outcomes, the increasing complexity of modern warfare continues to pose new risks. This book explores these potential risks and the importance of investing in research, developing protective technologies, and ensuring access to specialized care in the future. Ophthalmologists, optometrists and opticians involved in the treatment of war trauma will find this book to be a useful tool for mitigating the impact of devastating eye injuries in combat and improving the quality of life for survivors.
