An engaging and authoritative overview of the evolution of ring design from the Middle Ages to today, illustrated with over 170 rare and luxurious examples. Rings are powerfully evocative pieces of jewelry, traditionally worn as symbols of love, loyalty, remembrance or faith. Focusing on the V&A’s world-famous collection, Rings tells the story of their evolution from sculptural gem-set bands worn in medieval times to Art Deco masterpieces, dramatic gemstone ‘rocks’ of the 1950s, and innovative works of art created by contemporary jewellers.
Screenprints (Victoria & Albert Museum)

Screenprints (Victoria & Albert Museum)

A celebration of the rich 20th- and 21st-century tradition of screenprinting as a means of artistic expression, from its commercial origins in 1920s America to the limited-edition screenprints of the post-war period and today, by artists such as Andy Warhol, Bridget Riley and Damien Hirst. Screenprints: A History, the first title in the V&A's new series on the history and practice of printmaking, is a celebration of the fine-art applications of this versatile medium, from the commercial origins of the screenprinting process in 1920s America, its pivotal role in 1960s Pop and Op Art among artists such as Andy Warhol and Bridget Riley, through to its adoption by Damien Hirst and the YBAs of the 1990s, and its enduring presence in contemporary art. This beautifully designed, strikingly illustrated introduction will appeal to art lovers and practising artists everywhere. The origins of the screenprinting process are introduced through early artistic precursors, such as the stencil and pochoir printing in the making of Henri Matisse’s Jazz, and other artists’ books. Screenprinting became one of the most important techniques in the rise of artists’ limited-edition fine art prints from the 1960s onwards, seen here in the work of notable figures such as Roy Lichtenstein and Eduardo Paolozzi, and contemporary artists such as Damien Hirst, who have variously engaged with the medium’s commercial origins and, conversely, its capacity for a hand-made aesthetic. Special focus is given to lesser-known names who pioneered the use of the screenprint in fine art in the UK, the USA and Europe, including Francis Carr and Ben Shahn, while tracing its global spread through Africa, the Caribbean and Australasia. An illustrated, step-by-step guide to the practical process further enriches this multifaceted account. The democratic medium has further lent itself to spontaneous graphic protest, notably in the Atelier Populaire posters made in Paris in 1968, featured here and embodying screenprinting’s unique qualities, rich colours and graphic impact.

One night, Arthur Bryant witnesses a drunk middle-aged lady coming out of a pub in a London backstreet. The next morning, she is found dead at the exact spot where their paths crossed. Even more disturbing, the pub has vanished. Bryant is convinced that he saw them as they were over a century before, but the elderly detective has already lost the funeral urn of an old friend. Could he be losing his mind as well?Then it becomes clear that a number of women have met their ends in London pubs. It seems a silent, secret killer is at work, striking in full view...and yet nobody has a clue how, or why - or where he'll attack next. The likeliest suspect seems to be a mental patient with a reason for killing. But knowing who the killer is and catching him are two very different propositions. As their new team at the Peculiar Crimes Unit goes in search of a madman, the octogenarian detectives ready themselves for the pub crawl of a lifetime, and come face to face with their own mortality...
Queen Victoria: The Other Hitler in Disguise
This research uncovers the truth about Queen Victoria and the British Empire's brutal occupation of the world. It describes Queen Victoria as a robber and a killer greater than Hitler. It describes the inhuman occupation of forty percent of the world before the second world war under the pretext of doing business at first and then looting and murdering people of great civilizations and cultures. The research questions how such blood thirsty robbers and killers across the globe are still receiving respect as "Royals". It questions why the descendants of the brutal Queen Victoria are Prince and Princesses and still living on the hog in great luxury and palaces. It asked for removal of such fake titles and respect paid to so called royals and reflects upon their vampire like acts dripping in blood of people from across the globe.

Patrick and Victoria are two young people who through a chance meeting fall in love. Although their passion for each other develops an intensity that happens only once in a lifetime, they are faced with seemingly insurmountable difficulties beyond their control. Victoria is the daughter of one of the wealthiest and most powerful families of the Ascendancy, the Protestant English rulers of Ireland. Patrick, though well-educated, is a local fisherman's son from Ennismore, an island off County Clare's harsh but beautiful Atlantic coast. To repay a kindness Patrick is given a job at Ballinahich Castle, the home of Victoria's family, its wealth and splendor a stark contrast to the one-roomed island mud cottage he grew up in. Their love forbidden, their families divided by generations of hate, Patrick and Victoria are wrenched apart on opposite sides of the deadly and increasingly bitter conflict of the dawning of the Irish Republican Army.
