The Sun is an account of the many ways in which our nearest star affects our planet, how its influence has changed over the last few centuries and millennia, and the extent to which we can predict its future impact. The Sun’s rays foster the formation of Vitamin D by our bodies, but it can also promote skin cancer, cataracts, and mutations in our DNA. Besides providing the warmth and light essential to most animal and plant life, solar energy contributes substantially to global warming. Although the charged particles of the solar wind shield us from harmful cosmic rays, solar storms may

’A Song outlasts a Dynasty.’ Gerald Finzi’s maxim embodies his creed. As a song writer, his affinity with Thomas Hardy is stronger even than Fauré’s with Verlaine, or Wolf’s with Mörike. His most famous work is his exquisite cantata Dies Natalis. His Intimations of Immortality is worthy of Wordsworth’s poem, and his Cello Concerto is a big turbulent work. From being a solitary introverted young man, he developed into a great activator. He held strong views on education, pacifism, vegetarianism, the nature/nurture debate, the Arts and Crafts movement, the E

The first biography of the life and works of one of Britain’s best-loved composers. Gerald Finzi, best known for the cantata Dies Natalis and the Clarinet Concerto, was one of Britain’s most adored composers. His music is rooted in the tradition of Elgar, Sir Charles Parry, Vaughan Williams, and early twentieth-century composers who, like Ivor Gurney, revered songwriting as their principal means of expression. In this witty and engaging biography, Stephen Banfield reveals the modest, quintessentially English composer as a more complex figure than he is often given credit for

The composers in this book represent the outstanding songwriters from what we can now see as the golden age of English romantic song. As well as the major figures - Parry, Stanford, Vaughan Williams, Quilter, Ireland, Gurney, Warlock and Finzi - there are chapters on lesser-known composers, such as Denis Browne and Charles Orr. Detailed consideration is given to three songwriters who have suffered unaccountable neglect, Arthur Somervell, Armstrong Gibbs and Herbert Howells, and there are chapters on Elgar, Delius and Holst, whose reputations were made in other fields but whose contribution to

Born in 1932, Giovanni Finzi-Contini is both a distinguished geophysicist and prize-winning poet and novelist. In this, his first published novel, he imaginatively reconstructs the history of his maternal grandfather’s family in Ferrara from the emancipation of the Jews in newly united Italy to Fascist anti-Semitic persecution and the second world war. The elderly and frail Alberto Minerbi, who has escaped from a Fascist prison, is transported across Bologna on a cart, disguised as an old woman. As he goes, he recalls key episodes from his and his family’s past in a series of vivid
