Gels in the conservation of art / edited by Lora V. Angelova, Brownyn Ormsby, Joyce H. Townsend, and Richard Wolbers. "The texts in this volume represent the current theory, research and practice on the use of gel materials for treatment processes in the conservation of objects of art and surfaces in the built environment. The range of gels featured includes those drawn from the biological, cosmetic and food industries, as well as emerging products created specifically for conservation purposes. The growing importance of these materials, and their positive impact on conservation and environmental practice in terms of the use of fewer solvent-based, less toxic materials represents one of the conservation profession?s contributions to the green movement. Some of the gel treatments discussed make for significantly safer working conditions, and all of them seek to manage and reduce risks to artworks and objects undergoing treatment, helping to shape the path of future research in the specific area of cleaning fine art surfaces."--Provided by the publisher. 2017. • FOLIO • 2 copies available. 7.025.3

George Lyle Purvis "In 1921 15 year-old George Lyle Purvis got a job in the Durham coal pit managed by his father. It was not a life he took to, but it was one that most male members of his family were resigned to. Before long, however, an advertisement caught his eye which offered him the chance to see the world. And so, George became a sailor and did indeed travel around the globe, before settling in Plymouth with his wife and four children. In this book, his eldest son Derry looks back at his father's long life and distinguished career, through the ships he served on and the photos he took along the way."--Provided by the publisher. 2016 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92PURVIS, GEORGE
Cammell Laird built warships. "Cammell Laird can trace their history back to the late 1820s when William and John Laird produced their first ship, a paddle steamer built for Irish Inland Steam. A pioneering company, they recognised early on the advantages of iron ships and by the 1840s, the Admiralty were ordering iron frigates from the company. Through the years many famous ships have been launched from their slipways into the Mersey - the battleships Audacious and Rodney; the cruiser Caroline and the third and fourth aircraft carriers to bear the name Ark Royal. This volume contains over 170 full page B&W images, many from the Cammell Laird archives, supported by extended captions." 2016. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 629.12CAMMELL LAIRD

Emma Hamilton : seduction and celebrity /edited by Quintin Colville with Kate Williams. Accompanying a major exhibition at the National Maritime Museum, this book provides a fresh evaluation of Emma Hamilton's artistic undertakings, cultural achievements and legacy. Emma Hamilton (1765-1815) rose to national and international fame as a model, performer, trendsetter and interpreter of neoclassical fashion. Yet she is often presented as the muse to painters such as George Romney, or partially obscured by the reputation of her lover, Horatio Nelson, hero of naval battles in the Napoleonic Wars. The tragic trajectory of her life, from childhood prostitution to final destitution and neglect, has also been used to present her story as by turns sordid and ridiculous. This publication aims to recover Emma from myth and misrepresentation, and reveals her as an active and influential historical actor in her own right. The arc of this life is viewed through a new lens, one that places her in a wider context of female celebrity in a society that severely restricted women's opportunities and in which divorce was a far greater shame than infidelity or cruelty. 2016. • BOOK • 2 copies available. 940.2
