Liverpool has gained a national and international reputation for popular music, and was recently designated a UNESCO City of Music. This book explores the richness of Liverpool's live performance scene and tells a story of changing music sites, sounds, and experiences, highlighting music's contribution to the city's history and identity, and showing how the city's architectural and urban form has shaped its musical life and character.

Featuring a glossary of artists and venues, previously unpublished photographs, illustrations, and music maps, this book investigates Liverpool's musical landscapes in unprecedented depth and detail.

"How do our senses help us to understand the world? This question, which preoccupied Enlightenment thinkers, also emerged as a key theme in depictions of animals in eighteenth-century art. This book examines the ways in which painters such as Chardin, as well as sculptors, porcelain modelers, and other decorative designers portrayed animals as sensing subjects who physically confirmed the value of material experience. The sensual style known today as the Rococo encouraged the proliferation of animals as exemplars of empirical inquiry, ranging from the popular subject of the monkey artist to the alchemical wonders of the life-sized porcelain animals created for the Saxon court. Examining writings on sensory knowledge by La Mettre, Condillac, Diderot and other philosophers side by side with depictions of the animal in art, Cohen argues that artists promoted the animal as a sensory subject while also validating the material basis of their own professional practice"-- Provided by publisher

Arthur déteste Charleville, cette ville de province grise et triste où il est né un jour de 1854, et où il vit avec sa mère et ses deux sœurs. Alors, pour tromper la monotonie des jours, Arthur dévore livre après livre. Et puis, il rêve d'un oiseau multicolore, bleu, vert, rouge, qu'il appelle Baou et qui lui inspire des poèmes. Car Arthur se fiche d'être un élève modèle. Il veut être poète, même si c'est être voyou... Biographie ou roman ? Ce livre est ce qu'on appelle plutôt une biographie romancée. Il nous raconte l'histoire particulière de la vie d'un poète génial du 19e siècle, vue par un auteur du 20e siècle.

" Je n'ai pas toujours été un monstre. C'est mon métier qui m'a transformé. Je m'explique : un médecin doit combattre la douleur. Il la contrôle, la dose, joue avec elle. Et on s'aperçoit un jour qu'on se délecte du spectacle de la souffrance. "
