In a decade of steep industrial decline, Ian La Frenais and Dick
Clement had their fingers on the pulse of changing nation.
Introducing `Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads?' on BBC1 in
1973, we saw the characters of Bob Ferris and Terry Collier
simultaneously looking back on the 60s and looking forward to the
70s. Alongside the images of a transforming Newcastle, the theme
song lamented the lines `Oh what happened to you, whatever happened
to me? What became of the people we used to be?' Victorian built
terraced streets were demolished in favour of more modern
alternatives, such as the Byker Wall housing complex. Eldon Square
was demolished to make way for a shopping complex. The Central
motorway began to take form. The Tyne and Wear Metro system would
come to revolutionise public transport. All this change amongst the
backdrop of conflicting unions and management. Yet the household
experienced more access to mod-cons; colour television, stereo
players and even a family car. Pop culture also experienced a surge
with music coming from the likes of David Bowie, Elton John and
Pink Floyd. It was a bad decade for football as Newcastle failed to
repeat the success of their win of the Inter City Fairs Cup, and as
the 70s changed to the 80s they found themselves in the second
division. This vast amount of change would lead the way for a new
era, Thatcher's era, which would deliver its own set of challenges
and problems for the North East - but that's another story. For
now, enjoy the fascinating story and stunning photographs of
Newcastle and Tyneside in the 1970s.

David L. Morton examines the process of invention, innovation, and
diffusion of communications technology, using the history of sound
recording as the focus. Off the Record demonstrates how the history
of both the hardware and the ways people used it is essential for
understanding why any particular technology became a fixture in
everyday life or faded into obscurity. Morton's approach to the
topic differs from most previous works, which have examined the
technology's social impact, but not the reasons for its existence.
Recording culture in America emerged, Morton writes, not through
the dictates of the technology itself but in complex ways that were
contingent upon the actions of users.Each of the case studies in
the book emphasizes one of five aspects of the culture of recording
and its relationship to new technology, at the same time telling
the story of sound recording history. One of the misconceptions
that Morton hopes to dispel is that the only important category of
sound recording involves music. Unique in his broad-based approach
to sound technology, the five case studies that Morton investigates
are : The phonograph record Recording in the radio business The
dictation machine The telephone answering machine, and Home taping
Readers will learn, for example, that the equipment to create the
telephone answering machine has been around for a century, but that
the ownership and use of answering machines was a hotly contested
issue in the telephone industry at the turn of the century, hence
stifling its commercial development for decades. Morton also offers
fascinating insight into early radio: that, while The Amos and Andy
Show initially was pre-recorded and not broadcast live, the
commercial stations saw this easily distributed program as an
economic threat: many non-network stations could buy the disks for
easy, relatively inexpensive replaying. As a result, Amos and Andy
was sold to Mutual and went live shortly afterward.
Featuring a clear format and a wealth of illustrations, this lab
manual helps biology majors learn science by doing it. This manual
includes numerous inquiry-based experiments, relevant activities,
and supporting questions that assess recall, understanding, and
application. The exercises support any biology text used in a
majors course.
Age of Concrete is a history of the making of houses and homes in
the suburbios of Maputo (Lourenco Marques), Mozambique, from the
late 1940s to the present. Often dismissed as undifferentiated,
ahistorical "slums," these neighborhoods are in fact an open-air
archive that reveals some of people's highest aspirations. At first
people built in reeds. Then they built in wood and zinc panels. And
finally, even when it was illegal, they risked building in concrete
block, making permanent homes in a place where their presence was
often excruciatingly precarious. Unlike many histories of the built
environment in African cities, Age of Concrete focuses on ordinary
homebuilders and dwellers. David Morton thus models a different way
of thinking about urban politics during the era of decolonization,
when one of the central dramas was the construction of the urban
stage itself. It shaped how people related not only to each other
but also to the colonial state and later to the independent state
as it stumbled into being. Original, deeply researched, and
beautifully composed, this book speaks in innovative ways to
scholarship on urban history, colonialism and decolonization, and
the postcolonial state. Replete with rare photographs and other
materials from private collections, Age of Concrete establishes
Morton as one of a handful of scholars breaking new ground on how
we understand Africa's cities.
In 1831, Charles Darwin, a twenty-two-year-old aspiring naturalist,
stepped on board HMS Beagle. Little did he realize that the voyage
would last five years, changing not only his own life - but also
the history of the entire world. The Wider Earth brings this
era-defining adventure to life, from traversing the dizzying
heights of the Andes to diving into the depths of the Brazilian
rainforest, through weathering the storms of Tierra del Fuego, to
exploring the endless wonders of the Galapagos Islands. David
Morton's play received its widely acclaimed premiere at Queensland
Theatre in Australia in 2016, before transferring to the Natural
History Museum, London, in October 2018, presented by Trish Wadley
Productions, Dead Puppet Society and Glass Half Full Productions,
in a partnership project with the Natural History Museum.
Originally performed in a dazzling state-of-the-art production with
remarkable puppetry and cinematic animations, the powerful story at
the heart of The Wider Earth will inspire schools, colleges and
amateur theatre companies to create simpler - but no less
spectacular - stagings of their own. This edition includes 4 pages
of color production photos from the 2018 Sydney Festival and Sydney
Opera House production.
