Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Total ethics fashion: People, our fellow animals and the planet before profit is a deep dive into supply chain issues associated with fashion around the globe. 'Sustainable' and 'ethical' fashion have a problem: they've become marketing buzzwords rather than meaningful commitments for a better fashion industry. In the midst of a global environmental crisis interwoven with serious ethical conundrums, it's time for fashion to look more holistically at both its problems and its solutions. Exploring how the fashion industry is set up today, Collective Fashion Justice's founding director Emma Hakansson offers a path forward. Looking back at what we've lost from fashion as the industry's race to the bottom consumes the creativity and culture of clothing and forward to the future of it, this book is all at once hard hitting, contemplative and hopeful. A manifesto for a total ethics fashion system, this book is for those who work in fashion, who love fashion, who love the planet, or who simply get dressed each day. Total Ethics Fashion is a deep dive into supply chain issues associated with fashion around the globe.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. This is the story of a man who left instructions that the word WRITERin capital lettersshould be carved into the centre of his tombstone. Philip F Deavers writing won Americas Flannery OConnor and O. Henry awards. For 20 years, he was the writer-in-residence and creative writing professor at Floridas prestigious Rollins College, until frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) robbed him of his ability to write or speak. This books subtitle, acknowledging Philip Deaver as a minor American writer, is not pejorative. Although he was not a household name, and his list of published works was not long, his written words were invariably of a high standard. And coupled with his outstanding work was the recognition by all who knew him that, as a human being of intelligence, compassion, and wit, there was nothing minor about him. * Philip Deavers stories were full of blurred time and half-lived dreams. Written in vivid, spare prose, the best of these stories linger, sad and profound, like songs you sing to yourself The New York Times Book Review. * Philip Deavers stories were [p]ermeated with finely crafted writing, making for a wise, quietly provocative statement about commonplace tragedy and the ironies and fragility of relationships Publishers Weekly. * Philip Deaver was a writer unparalleled in his examination of the lost souls longing to be found. In prose that is quietly lyric, and sharp with truth, his stories are kinetic with heartbreak and magic. His work is a triumph, and I would follow it anywhere Laura Van Den Berg, author of Find Me, The Isle of Youth, and other works.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. HMB Endeavour sailed for just 14 years, but its name reverberates through history. This book examines why it is still charismatic and controversial, 250 years later. There are many views of Endeavour. To some, it is a great ship of exploration and science, a symbol of the Age of Enlightenment. To indigenous people of the Pacific, especially Australia, it represents invasion and ongoing dispossession. To those who sail on or visit the Endeavour replica, it is a triumph of craftsmanship and a vessel of adventure and education. Endeavours story is a living one, and this book presents a few possible interpretations of the ship: as the refitted collier that took James Cook on his first Pacific voyage, a vessel of first contact, a survey ship, a long-forgotten wreck, and a working replica that has given thousands of people a taste of 18th-century sailing. Endeavour: Encounters, stories and objects of the ship that changed the world provides a new perspective on one of the world's most famous ships and its stories.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. This richly detailed biography, with almost 200 illustrations and extensive biographical and bibliographical data, records the life of an artist Tate Adams, whose influence on Australias post-war art scene was significant in numerous ways. Adams attempted to raise the status of print-making to that of painting, causing an indisputable revolution in the field and it happened in Melbourne! Divided into five chapters, each documents a different aspect of the artists life. The first traces his Irish background, his involvement with Irelands post-war literary revival, the influence of his time spent outside Australia, and his introduction to the concept of special limited-edition artist-illustrated books. Subsequent chapters explore the twenty odd years Tate was in charge of the print room in the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technologys art school where a stunning new generation of print-makers would emerge and established masters of the art, like Fred Williams, were invited to make prints. Alongside this activity, Tate Adams opened his Crossley Gallery in central Melbourne to enthusiastic reviews for exhibitions of prints by leading artists from Australia, the UK, Europe, the USA and Japan. After retirement from RMIT Tate Adams was able to establish the Lyre Bird Press and indulge his long-term ambition to produce limited edition artists books. Leaving Melbourne, he took his press to Townsville where he spent the latter years of his life as a prolific studio artist. This book describes how an artist, working with purpose and in collaboration with others, can enrich a countrys visual arts culture and bring advantages to many with similar aspirations.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. In the 1950s when Carlo Valmorbida bought King & Godfree, a grocery store that had only two other owners since opening on the corner of Lygon and Faraday Streets in Carlton in 1871, the newly arrived immigrant from Italy helped drive a culinary revolution in Melbourne by being among the first to introduce non-Italian Melbourne to the delights of parmesan cheese and good olive oil, quality canned tuna and excellent dry table wine. He did this not just by stocking these then-exotic products but by explaining to the wider community who frequented his grocery store why they were so good and how to shop for and cook with them. Just like King & Godfree itself, King & Godfree: The Corner Grocer honours Carlos spirit by detailing how to buy the best Italian cheese, the appropriate canned tomato, the best quality anchovies, which pasta shapes and sauces go best together and what wine to drink with them, then teaming this knowledge with more than 80 recipes, from cocktails to cannoli. Through stories, recipes and insider knowledge about great ingredients, The Corner Grocer creates an intricate portrait of King & Godfree, one of the oldest, continuously-operating grocery stores in Australia as it negotiated a century-and-a-half of continuous operation just by paying attention to the quality of its food and service and to the evolving appetites of its ever-changing community. Its the story of how King & Godfree both reflected the nature of the community around it while simultaneously influencing the way an entire city eats. Now with more than 150 years under our belt and a renovation that has brought new life to a Melbourne institution, we decided it was a good time to celebrate. The Corner Grocer is an invitation to the party. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
