Susie's Senior Dogs

[PDF] Susie's Senior Dogs by Erin Stanton at Arts-Photography

Description

Pevsner: The BBC Years gives the first full account of Sir Nikolaus Pevsnerrsquo;s engagement with the BBC at a time when both were the dominant institutions in their own fields -- Pevsner as the most persuasive figure in architecture and art history; the BBC as the countrys sole broadcaster.A German emigreacute;; Pevsner was not at first trusted to speak on the air; and was only invited to appear at the very end of the war; in spite of his growing eminence in academia and publishing. With the arrival of the Third Programme in 1946; however; he quickly became a broadcasting celebrity; and one whom senior BBC figures regarded as essential and novel listening. Pevsner: The BBC Years looks at the sudden rise in Pevsnerrsquo;s standing at the BBC; at what he was admired for; and at the circumstances surrounding his being commissioned; in the mid-1950s; to give the first series of Reith Lectures on an arts subject -- the relationship between visual expression and national identity. The book explains the roles played by Geoffrey Grigson; Basil Taylor; Anna Kallin and Leonie Cohn in advancing Pevsners BBC career; analyses the literary character of his broadcasting; and considers the function of his talks as an extension of European belletrism. It also demonstrates the significance of his concurrent editorship of the King Penguin series of books.In addition; Pevsner: The BBC Years documents the unravelling of Pevsners reputation. It shows how he was caught between changing fashions in media culture and damaged by doubts about the safety of his ideas; both within the BBC and; externally; among British conservatives who found him too radical and American radicals who found him too conservative. In Pevsner: The BBC Years; correspondence from the BBCrsquo;s archives provides a case study of scholarly thought being exposed to independent scrutiny -- a process with lessons for today.

Its full of heart warming stories of homeless senior dogs now living the life of love and happiness. The variety of stories really paint a full picture of what its like to adopt a senior dog and the often unsuspecting people who do so. Im honored to be a contributor as the mom of Chili (@ChiliDogNYC). SSD is a perfect coffee table book with stunning pictures. The book is an awesome Christmas gift for any animal lover. And all the proceeds go to charity!18 of 19 people found the following review helpful. You can never have too much senior dog love in your life!By Graham DyeIm an avid SSD (and every other animal related instagram you could think of) follower so I was familiar with a number of the stories in the book. but that didnt stop me from shedding a tear or two reading about them again.There were also a number of stories of senior adoptions never posted to SSD. which was really great as well. Its an incredibly harwarming book and Im sure will only lead to more senior adoptions. Susie was one in a million and her legacy continues to live on. Adopt dont shop. unless youre buying this book then shopping is OK!11 of 11 people found the following review helpful.
