Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swansea University: Campus and Community in a Post-War World, 1945–2020 marks Swansea University’s centenary. It is a study of post- Second World War academic and social change in Britain and its universities, as well as an exploration of shifts in youth culture and the way in which higher education institutions have interacted with people and organisations in their regions. It covers a range of important themes and topics, including architectural developments, international scholars, the changing behaviours of students, protest and politics, and the multi-layered relationships that are formed between academics, young people and the wider communities of which they are a part. Unlike most institutional histories, it takes a ‘bottom-up’ approach and focuses on the thoughts, feelings and behaviours of people like students and non-academic staff who are normally sidelined in such accounts. As it does so, it utilises a large collection of oral history testimonies collected specifically for this book; and, throughout, it explores how formative, paradoxical and unexpected university life can be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no published collected criticism on Ron Berry. This is a unique selling point. Berry did not receive the critical acclaim he deserved in his lifetime. This is the first attempt to address this apparent neglect. Berry’s work is hugely relevant to the study of modern Wales, as it straddles the industrial and post-industrial period. His environmental writings and concerns were so progressive that they were perhaps wasted upon his original readership.
