Towns in Tudor and Stuart Britain

Towns in Tudor and Stuart Britain

Sybil Jack

Red Globe Press
1996
nidottu
Why should one study urban history? Were towns the precipitating element for change in the human way of life? By examining in turn various aspects of urban history in the period 1500-1700 this book attempts to examine recent historical ideas about towns in Britain. Was the urban system in Britain a relative failure or a comparative success? What changes took place in the level of urbanization in Britain? What were the dynamics of change? What explains the appearance of new towns and the decline of once flourishing settlements? Was the growing size of some towns fuelled by new or considerably altered functions? Towns in Tudor and Stuart Britain provides students with a wide range of material on a fascinating subject.

National Security, Personal Privacy and the Law

National Security, Personal Privacy and the Law

Sybil Sharpe

Routledge
2019
sidottu
There have been significant changes in public attitudes towards surveillance in the last few years as a consequence of the Snowden disclosures and the Cambridge Analytica scandal. This book re-evaluates competing arguments between national security and personal privacy. The increased assimilation between the investigatory powers of the intelligence services and the police and revelations of unauthorised surveillance have resulted in increased demands for transparency in information gathering and for greater control of personal data. Recent legal reforms have attempted to limit the risks to freedom of association and expression associated with electronic surveillance. This book looks at the background to recent reforms and explains how courts and the legislature are attempting to effect a balance between security and personal liberty within a social contract. It asks what drives public concern when other aspects seem to be less contentious. In view of our apparent willingness to post on social media and engage in online commerce, it considers if we are truly consenting to a loss of privacy and how this reconciles with concerns about state surveillance.

Old Friends and New Fancies

Old Friends and New Fancies

Sybil G. Brinton

DOVER PUBLICATIONS
2026
nidottu
What unfolds beyond the "happily ever after"? Worlds collide in Sybil G. Brinton's delightful reimagining of the romantic lives of familiar characters from all six of Jane Austen's cherished novels, including Emma, Pride and Prejudice, and Sense and Sensibility. Published in 1913, foreshadowing modern fan fiction, this charming tale filled with wit and gentle humor follows beloved personalities, including Georgiana Darcy as she flees heartbreak for London, Kitty Bennet in her quest for love under Mrs. Emma Knightly's guidance, and Mary Crawford as she tries to rebuild her tarnished reputation and find love anew. A testament to the enduring fandom of Austen's landed gentry world of manners, morals, and matrimonial pursuits in Regency-era England, Brinton's imaginative storytelling is a must-read for Austen literary enthusiasts.

The Theatre of the London Fairs in the Eighteenth Century

The Theatre of the London Fairs in the Eighteenth Century

Sybil Rosenfield

Cambridge University Press
2008
pokkari
The London fairs are important in the history of English drama, for play-acting was one of their main attractions. From Jonson's Bartholomew Fair we have a picture of the Elizabethan fair; it is however insufficiently known that the fairs were still held in the eighteenth century and that plays were still performed at them. Miss Rosenfeld has investigated these entertainments. She has been able to construct a chronological record of the performances at Bartholomew Fair, Southwark Fair, May Fair and some less important centres; she examines such fair-plays and drolls as survive as texts or in printed descriptions, and she analyses the evidence about the structure of the stages and theatres used. She shows that the performances had a large public, and that the actors from the chief theatres found it worthwhile to take part in them; so her account is a necessary supplement to the theatrical history of the eighteenth century.

Most of us are living a fast pace life with great demands and limited time. Sybil Bull can relate. For two decades, she was a stay-at-home mother of seven children who were all less than two years apart. She understands all too well what it means to have a full load and to be challenged to find time to eat a meal, or read a book. Over the years, she has discovered "bite-size nuggets for living." Just Appetizers is the compilation of her discoveries. The principles and lessons are appropriately called "Nibbles". They are power-packed quotes written with simplicity and flavor that you can read, reflect and meditate on throughout your day or week. Each bite will give you understanding, insight, and wisdom to nourish your soul.Just like appetizers, these "nibbles" are meant to be shared. So take a moment to ingest a small principle while enjoying your favorite morning beverage and then pass the plate to a friend, a co-worker, a neighbor, a sibling, your gym partner. Just Appetizers is more than a book, it's a movement to build people by providing them with the tools to build a life that they love.

My Kitchen Wall

Born in Sunderland in 1933, not far from the lovely coasts of Durham and Northumberland – both areas of great beauty and historical interest – Sybil attended with her sisters Helen and Pauline, Sunderland High School for girls. VE and VJ days of celebration are still vivid in her memory. In 1948-9 due, to her father’s occupation, the family moved to Cheshire and she moved to Sale County Grammar School for Girls. From there, in 1951, she was accepted for teacher training college in Birmingham. Once qualified she started her professional career as a teacher under the guidance and great encouragement of Miss M. M. Walshe, headmistress of Cotteridge Girls’ Secondary School. Through various promotions, she finally became head of middle school at Yardley, one of only four mixed (coed) grammar schools in Birmingham, later to become Yardley Comprehensive School in 1974. In 1986, after twenty-two years at Yardley and thirty-three years altogether as a teacher, she took early retirement towards taking up a post in Canada. Owing to family circumstances and ultimately the death of her mother, she had to forgo the new job. By 1992 she had also suffered the loss of her two sisters. Enrolling at Bournville College of Arts & Crafts for the Advanced City and Guilds course in textiles, she attained a high standard and continued with this hobby in her workroom at home, also enjoying woodcraft in her kitchen and regularly showing and setting her products at Craft Fairs. Throughout these years and as a member of the SIFD (Society for International Folk Dancing) she travelled up to four times a year to attend workshops in traditional folk dance in Hungary, then on returning home travelling to visit branches of the SIFD in the UK to further spread interest in Hungary and its traditions. In 1973 she opened the West Midlands branch of the SIFD. Her kitchen wall is a frequent reminder of all her activities. Each reminds her of someone, somewhere and even a few red-carpet events! The first book she produced, in 2014, has been very useful in helping friends and even fellow patients in hospital to cope with their problems through her poems and Thoughts Along the Way.

Witness to Change

Witness to Change

Sybil Morial; Andrew Young

Carolina Wren Press
2018
pokkari
From her unique vantage point in New Orleans, Sybil Haydel Morial’s life spans one of the most critical periods in our country’s history. In this remarkable memoir, Morial chronicles her life as both witness to and catalyst for sweeping changes—desegregation, the end of Jim Crow, and the fight for voting rights. These changes transformed the nation during her lifetime. Morial’s story is welcome inspiration for the struggle for political empowerment that continues. As Ambassador Andrew Young, a childhood friend and later Sybil’s prom date, relates in his foreword: “It is doubtful that New Orleans could have produced two mayors with the dynamic, creative, and visionary leadership of 'Dutch' and Marc Morial without a wife and mother of Sybil’s loving strength, intelligence, and moral courage. But the life she lived in the crucible times and her perception of the civil rights movement in New Orleans goes far beyond that.”
