Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This is an accurate account of an attempt to sail around the world: in 1965, ten young men from diverse backgrounds and nationalities set off from Sydney in a Chinese junk to achieve this goal. The leader was Tony Pike, later a legendary character on the island of Ibiza. The rest of the crew consisted of two Englishmen, one of whom had emigrated to Australia in his early twenties; three New Zealanders; and four Australians.In their desire to begin their adventure, they overlooked many vital factors. The intended captain, who was to supply all the navigation equipment, pulled out at the last minute, leaving them without essential gear. They focused too intently on financial planning, and the goal of the trip and their enthusiasm overrode common sense; consequently, the vessel was ill-equipped for such a long voyage.Although the trip included many amusing moments and exciting exploits, the dream voyage soon turned into a nightmare, with the crew becoming lost at sea and almost giving up hope.The story details what went wrong, which turned out to be everything except, strangely enough, the actual financing of the trip, typically tends to be the biggest problem in this type of venture. Despite the trip's enormous potential for success and profitability, it was a failure because the vessel and equipment were entirely inadequate.This is not only a fascinating story, but it also offers guidance for anyone contemplating a similar voyage.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Illustrated. A detailed study of the domestic life of the early modern, non-elite householdThis book is a detailed study of the domestic life of the early modern, non-elite household, focussing on the Oxfordshire market town of Thame. Going beyond the exploration of the domestic economy and trends in living standards and consumption, it shows how close examination of the material context within which the household operated can provide evidence of its habitual activities, the relationships between its members, and the values that informed both. The book uses a familiar source, the probate inventory, supplemented by other contemporary written and pictorial evidence, to reveal how activities in the household were directly related to the agricultural, mercantile, and socialenvironment. It illustrates the variable and shifting nature of social relationships and shows how the early modern household was part of the wider economic and social narrative of modernism and how it responded to altered modes of production and consumption, social allegiances, and ideologies. Offering new perspectives to reinvigorate the discussion of domestic relationships and rigorously examine the vexed question of change, Domestic Culture in EarlyModern England will be of interest to scholars and postgraduate students of material culture as well as historians of the household and family more generally. ANTONY BUXTON lectures on design history, material anddomestic culture for the Department for Continuing Education, University of Oxford and other institutions. He has published articles in various scholarly journals and holds a PhD from the University of Oxford.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Central to human life and experience, habitation forms a context for enquiry within many disciplines. This collection brings together perspectives on human habitation in the fields of anthropology, archaeology, social history, material culture, literature, art and design, and architecture. Significant shared themes are the physical and social structuring of space, practice and agency, consumption and gender, and permanence and impermanence. Topics range from archaeological artefacts to architectural concepts, from Romano-British consumption to the 1950s Playboy apartment, from historical elite habitation to present-day homelessness, from dwelling «on the move» to the crisis of household dissolution, and from interior design to installation art. Not only is this volume a rich resource of varied aspects and contexts of habitation, it also provides compelling examples of the potential for interdisciplinary conversations around significant shared themes.
