The Curator
'One of those books that straddles fantastic and modernist literature in that it seems to be set in our world, seems to be set maybe 100 years ago . . . And it's as magical as it is political and beautifully crafted' - Neil GaimanHalf fairy tale and half historical account of a revolution that never was, Owen King's The Curator is full of sly humor, sensuality, and strangeness - Holly BlackFrom Sunday Times bestselling author Owen King comes a Dickensian fantasy of illusion and charm where cats are revered as religious figures, thieves are noble, scholars are revolutionaries, and conjurers the most wonderful criminals. At first glance, the world has not changed: the trams on the boulevards, the grand hotels, the cafes abuzz with conversation.The street kids still play on the two great bridges that divide the city, and the smart set still venture down to the Morgue Ship for an evening's entertainment. Yet it only takes a spark to ignite a revolution. For young Dora, a maid at the university, the moment brings liberation.She finds herself walking out with one of the student radicals, Robert, free to investigate what her brother Ambrose may have seen at the Institute for Psykical Research before he died. But it is another establishment that Dora is given to look after, The Museum of the Worker.This strange, forgotten edifice is occupied by waxwork tableaux of miners, nurses, shopkeepers and other disturbingly lifelike figures. As the revolution and counter-revolution outside unleash forces of love, betrayal, magic and terrifying darkness, Dora's search for the truth behind a mystery that she has long concealed will unravel a monstrous conspiracy and bring her to the very edge of worlds. In The Curator, Owen King has created an extraordinary time and place - historical, fantastical, yet compellingly real, and a heroine who is courageous, curious and utterly memorable. 'The Curator feels a little like Owen King somehow brought a curiosity cabinet to life.There are terrors here, but also marvels and delights, and a set of the most interesting characters I've met in some time.Put The Curator on the same shelf as other classics of the uncanny and uncategorisable, like Susanna Clarke's Piranesi and Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast.I loved it' - Kelly Link'Owen King's The Curator is a rich read.Language, characters, and a fascinating world combine to create an intensely satisfying experience' - Charlaine Harris

The Artist as Curator
In recent years, the museum and gallery have increasingly become self-reflexive spaces, in which the relationship between art, its display, its creators and its audience is subverted and democratised.One effect of this has been a growing place for artists as curators, and in The Artist as Curator Celina Jeffery brings together a group of scholars and artists to explore the many ways that artists have introduced new curatorial ways of thinking and talking about artistic culture.Taking a deliberately multidisciplinary and cross-cultural focus, The Artist as Curator will fill a gap in museum and curatorial studies, offering a thorough and diverse treatment of various approaches to the historical and changing role of the artist as curator that should appeal to scholars, curators and artists alike.

Fly fishing, on the other hand, is a specific type of angling that uses a weighted line and an artificial fly to catch fish. In fly fishing, the angler uses a specialized fly rod and reel to cast the fly, which is often made to imitate insects or other natural prey. The techniques and equipment used in fly fishing are distinct from traditional angling methods, making it a unique and specialized form of fishing.

Should fishing only be allowed through angling to prevent overfishing?
Fishing should not only be allowed through angling to prevent overfishing. While angling can be a sustainable and selective method of fishing, it is not the only solution to prevent overfishing. Other measures such as implementing catch limits, regulating fishing gear, and establishing marine protected areas are also important in managing fish populations and preventing overfishing.

The New Curator: Exhibiting Architecture and Design
The New Curator: Exhibiting Architecture and Design examines the challenges inherent in exhibiting design ideas.Traditionally, exhibitions of architecture and design have predominantly focused on displaying finished outcomes or communicating a work through representation. In this ground-breaking new book, Fleur Watson unveils the emergence of the ‘new curator’.Instead of exhibiting finished works or artefacts, the rise of ‘performative curation’ provides a space where experimental methods for encountering design ideas are being tested.Here, the role of the curator is not that of ‘custodian’ or ‘expert’ but with the intent to create a shared space of encounter with audiences. To illustrate this phenomenon, the book explores a diverse, international range of exhibitions.Divided into six themes, a series of project profiles are contextualized through conversations with influential curators and cultural producers such as Paola Antonelli, Kayoko Ota, Mimi Zeiger, Catherine Ince, Aric Chen, Zoë Ryan, Beatrice Leanza, Prem Krishnamurthy, Marina Otero Verzier, Brook Andrew, Carroll Go-Sam, Rory Hyde, Eva Franch i Gilabert, Patti Anahory and Paula Nascimento. Featuring over 100 color illustrations, this highly designed, beautiful book offers an innovative contribution to the field.An essential read for students and professionals in architecture, design, art, visual culture, museum studies, curatorial studies and cultural theory.The book also features a foreword by Deyan Sudjic and an afterword by Leon van Schaik AO.

The First Ghosts : A rich history of ancient ghosts and ghost stories from the British Museum curator
'It's enthralling stuff, mixing the scholarly with the accessible and placing storytelling right at the heart of the human experience.' - History Revealed'A fascinating journey' - Yorkshire Post'Marvellous...Finkel is an expert in Mesopotamian cultures at the British Museum, and is one of the most clever, and nicest, of people it has ever been my pleasure to encounter...A fascinating journey' - The ScotsmanThere are few things more in common across cultures than the belief in ghosts.Ghosts inhabit something of the very essence of what it is to be human.Whether we personally 'believe' or not, we are all aware of ghosts and the rich mythologies and rituals surrounding them.They have inspired, fascinated and frightened us for centuries - yet most of us are only familiar with the vengeful apparitions of Shakespeare, or the ghastly spectres haunting the pages of 19th century gothic literature.But their origins are much, much older... The First Ghosts: Most Ancient of Legacies takes us back to the very beginning.A world-renowned authority on cuneiform, the form of writing on clay tablets which dates back to 3400BC, Irving Finkel has embarked upon an ancient ghost hunt, scouring these tablets to unlock the secrets of the Sumerians, Babylonians and Assyrians to breathe new life into the first ghost stories ever written.In The First Ghosts, he uncovers an extraordinarily rich seam of ancient spirit wisdom which has remained hidden for nearly 4000 years, covering practical details of how to live with ghosts, how to get rid of them and bring them back, and how to avoid becoming one, as well as exploring more philosophical questions: what are ghosts, why does the idea of them remain so powerful despite the lack of concrete evidence, and what do they tell us about being human?

Does anyone have experience with RC boats and/or fishing?
I do not have personal experience with RC boats or fishing, but I have heard that both can be enjoyable hobbies for those who are interested in them. RC boats can provide a fun and exciting way to navigate bodies of water, while fishing can be a relaxing and rewarding pastime for those who enjoy spending time outdoors. Both activities require some skill and knowledge to be successful, but can be very fulfilling for those who are passionate about them.
