Ian Andrews – författare

A description of the city and the daily life of the citizens immediately before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, is intended for student and general readers.

This absorbing collection of photographs, containing many rare and unpublished images of Poole, illustrates the changes that have been seen in this picturesque seaside town as it has evolved over the years. Featuring scenes from work and home life to the town centre and the harbour, Poole Past & Present presents archive photographs alongside modern images taken from the same viewpoint. Accompanied by informative captions, this title will interest both long-time residents and new visitors to the town. Compiled by the authors of two previous books about the town, both long-term residents of Poole who have witnessed many of the changes for themselves, this volume will evoke feelings of nostalgia in all who know and love this area of Dorset.

In drawing upon the work of Jacques Derrida, Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger and aligning it with a new trend in interdisciplinary phenomenology, Ian Andrews provides a unique look at the role of chance in art and its philosophical implications. His account of how the composer John Cage and other avant-garde creatives such as Marcel Duchamp, Tristan Tzara, Sol LeWitt and Ed Ruscha used chance in their work to question the structures of experience and prompt a new engagement with these phenomena makes a truly important contribution to Continental philosophy. Chance, Phenomenology and Aesthetics will appeal to scholars and advanced students in the disciplines of phenomenology, deconstruction and hermeneutics, as well as being compelling reading for anyone interested in pursuing sound studies, art theory and art history through an interdisciplinary post-phenomenological lens.

Archaeology shows that the Dorset town of Poole can trace its origins back to prehistoric times. Roman occupation of Poole left sites of strategic roads leading to the West Country and London. The status of 1568 Royal Charter of Poole gave confidence for the establishment of public buildings, such as the Harbour Office, Custom House, Guildhall and private investment in warehouses. In ‘Poole in 50 Buildings’, local authors Ian Andrews and Elizabeth Ballance explore the town’s wide range of architecture from throughout the centuries. Eighteenth-century Poole was a predominant British port, thriving on merchant trade between Newfoundland and Catholic countries in Europe. Some of the town’s medieval buildings were replaced with extravagant Georgian buildings, many of which can still be seen. After the Napoleonic War and American independence, most of the Poole merchants trading with Newfoundland fell upon hard times, leaving the majority of the workforce involved in coastal fishing, shipbuilding, rope-making, brewing, iron founding or house building. Growing demand for decorative tiles, brickwork and ceramics invigorated employment and architectural opportunities in the area. As the fashion for seaside holidays grew, so did investment in pavilions, yacht clubs, beach huts and hotels. Poole is now home to international banking, the RNLI, cosmetics and technology headquarters, two universities and a world-famous orchestra.Illustrated throughout, this engaging and informative guide to Poole’s rich built heritage will appeal to residents and visitors alike.
