Essäer Om Henry B. Goodwin
Henry B. Goodwin var länge Sveriges mest kända fotograf, från första världskriget och framåt. Han arbetade i piktorialistisk anda, den för tiden förhärskande bildstilen, med hårt manipulerade bilder och kreativ oskärpa. I Essäer om Henry B. Goodwin kompletterar och vidareutvecklar Olle Östlind sin tidigare bok Den okände Henry B. Goodwin. Läsaren får ta del av Goodwins syn på fotokonstens estetik och teknik, och hans egna åsikter om porträttfotografin och den nya sakligheten i spänningsfältet mellan impressionism och expressionism.I Östlinds text finner vi också fördjupningar om bland annat Goodwins negativa syn på den samtida rasforskningen, bakgrunden till praktverket Vårt vackra Stockholm, och historien om Goodwins isländska ungdomsförlovning. I en längre essä presenteras fotografens hustru, Ida Buergel Goodwin, och vi träffar också Georg Brandes, Karl-Otto Bonnier, John Hertzberg, Daniel Fallström, Ola Hansson och Laura Marholm. Författaren avslutar med en intervju med Alva Hallberg som arbetade i Goodwins studio 19161920. Bokens rika bildmaterial visar tydligt varför Goodwin har en framträdande plats i svensk fotohistoria!
Godwin
The return of Joseph O'Neill, with a story on the scale of the international phenomenon Netherland: the odyssey of two brothers crossing the world in search of an African soccer prodigy who might change their fortunes. Mark Wolfe, a brilliant if self-thwarting technical writer, lives in Pittsburgh with his wife, Sushila, and their toddler daughter. His half-brother Geoff, born and raised in the UK, is a desperate young soccer agent. He pulls Mark across the ocean into a scheme to track down an elusive prospect known only as "Godwin" - an African teenager Geoff believes could be the next Messi. Narrated in turn by Mark and his work colleague Lakesha Williams, the novel is both a tale of family and migration, and an international adventure story that implicates the brothers in the beauty and ugliness of soccer, the perils and promises of international business, and the dark history of transatlantic money-making. As only he can do, Joseph O'Neill investigates the legacy of colonialism in the context of family love, global capitalism, and the dreaming individual.

Ram Jam: Ram Jam 1977
'Ram Jam' is the debut studio album by the New York rock band Ram Jam. The band consisted of Bill Bartlett (guitar), Howie Arthur Blauvelt (bass), Pete Charles (drums) and Myke Scavone (lead vocals). Bartlett was formerly lead guitarist for the psychedelic bubblegum group the Lemon Pipers, best known for their smash sixties hit "The Green Tambourine" while Blauvelt played with Billy Joel in several bands. "Black Betty," Ram Jam's overmodulated smash, was written by none other than Huddie Ledbetter, the famous Leadbelly. It is a neat comment on popular music in 1977, that the summer's most engaging, silly record was written by a deceased, black, blues genius.
Henry B. Goodwins Vykort - En Bildskatt 1915-1929
Fotografen Henry B Goodwin är välkänd men hans vykort är mindre välbekanta. Vykortet var nytt i början av 1900-talet och idolbilder av skådespelare och berömda personer var vanliga. Olle Östlind botaniserar här bland Goodwins vykort i den första boken om denna bildskatt. Motiven skulle vara tilltalande för den vykortsköpande allmänheten och också svara upp mot Goodwins egna krav på konstnärlighet och högklassigt tryck. Många av korten var därför fotogravyrer, ett relativt dyrt tryck men inkomsten från vykortsproduktion var trots det ganska god. Östlind har lyckats samla i stort sett hela Goodwins produktion av vykort från åren 19151929. I boken finns utsökta porträtt av bland annat Hjalmar Branting, Verner von Heidenstam, Ellen Key och svenska kungligheter, liksom av Goodwins favoritaktörer, dansösen Jenny Hasselqvist och skådespelaren Anders de Wahl.
Goodwin: Peekaboo
Goodwin is the solo project of Rob Goodwin. Frontman and baritone vocalist of Manchester’s cinematic, indie-pop band, The Slow Show. The frontman of The Slow Show steps into the spotlight alone, crafting intimate tales of love, loss, and quiet bravery. Born in the stillness of his German home and shaped in the creative hum of Neukölln, Berlin, Goodwin’s music is a tender exploration of vulnerability and connection. In late 2023 during a respite in touring with his band, Goodwin started to work on something for himself. A collection of intimate recordings, stories more suited to a quieter, rawer space. Inspired by the moody atmospheres of Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake, these deeply personal songs have vulnerability at their core. Romantic, dreamlike stories for people to curl up and escape in.

Ham & Jam
The highly effective leadership of Major-General Richard Gale overcame the haphazard nature of airborne operations 1939-1945, and enabled the unproven British 6th Airborne Division to achieve its objectives during the Normandy Campaign of June - August 1944. Despite its scattered parachute landings 6th Airborne achieved its D-Day goals, and held the line for three months, a task for which it was not equipped. This study examines the factors that made this possible and analyses Gale's impact on the Division's organisational development, preparation and training which lay behind this success. To establish the environment within which Gale had to operate, this book explores the shaping forces which influenced the creation of 6th Airborne Division: the constraint of inadequate resources and the absence of a clear applied airborne doctrine, inter-service politics and the influence of key war figures such as Field Marshal Sir Alan Brooke. The study pursues the links between war situation,

The Gododdin
The timeless and compelling 'word-music' of one of Britain's oldest cultural treasures is captured in this new bilingual edition. The Gododdin charts the rise and fall of 363 warriors in the battle of Catraeth, around the year AD 600. The men of the Brittonic kingdom of Gododdin rose to unite the Welsh and the Picts against the Angles, only to meet a devastating fate. Composed by the poet Aneirin, the poem was originally orally transmitted as a sung elegy, passed down for seven centuries before being written down in early Welsh by two medieval scribes. It is composed of one hundred laments to the named characters who fell, and follows a sophisticated alliterative poetics. Former National Poet of Wales Gillian Clarke animates this historical epic with a modern musicality, making it live in the language of today and underscoring that, in a world still beset by the misery of war, Aneirin's lamentation is not done.
