All Nearby Items in People Baker, Simon - After studying History of Art at UCL (BA, MA & PhD) I worked as a University Lecturer, teaching History of Art. At the same time I worked on exhibitions as an external curator, and wrote about contemporary art. I left academia after five years to become Curator of Photography at Tate. Bakunin, Mikhail - Russian revolutionary anarchist, socialist and founder of collectivist anarchism. He is considered among the most influential figures of anarchism and a major founder of the revolutionary socialist and social anarchist tradition. Bakunin's prestige as a revolutionary also made him one of the most famous ideologues in Europe, gaining substantial influence among radicals throughout Russia and Europe. Baldi, Guido - Guido Baldi, Radical America... Baldwin, James - American writer. He garnered acclaim across various mediums, including essays, novels, plays, and poems. His first novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain, was published in 1953; decades later, Time magazine included the novel on its list of the 100 best English-language novels released from 1923 to 2005. His first essay collection, Notes of a Native Son, was published in 1955. Balzac, Honor? de - A French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Com?die humaine, which presents a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus. Owing to his keen observation of detail and unfiltered representation of society, Balzac is regarded as one of the founders of realism in European literature. Barbon, Nicholas - An English economist, physician, and financial speculator. Historians of mercantilism consider him to be one of the first proponents of the free market. In the aftermath of the Great Fire of London, he became an active London property developer and helped to pioneer fire insurance and mortgages as a means of financing such developments. Barkin, Solomon - An economist, education director for the Textile Workers Union of America (TWUA), and from 1968 to 1978 a professor at the University of Massachusetts and research associate at the Labor Center. The bulk of the Barkin collection, over 10.5 linear feet, consists of bound notebooks containing speeches, typescripts, and printed versions of articles, book reviews, congressional testimony, forewords, and introductions ? nearly 600 in all ? written by Barkin. Baroja, P - Spanish writer from the generation of '98 . Baroja, who received his doctorate in medicine, ended up abandoning that profession in favor of literature, an activity in which he cultivated the novel and, to a much lesser extent, the theater. In his work, in which he often betrays a pessimistic attitude, he reflected his individualism. Barras, Paul - French politician of the French Revolution, and the main executive leader of the Directory regime of 1795?1799. ?calan, Abdullah - A political prisoner and founding member of the militant Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). ?calan was based in Syria from 1979 to 1998. He helped found the PKK in 1978, and led it into the Kurdish?Turkish conflict in 1984. For most of his leadership, he was based in Syria, which provided sanctuary to the PKK until the late 1990s. Barzun, Jacques - French-American historian known for his studies of the history of ideas and cultural history. He wrote about a wide range of subjects, including baseball, mystery novels, and classical music, and was also known as a philosopher of education. In the book Teacher in America (1945), Barzun influenced the training of schoolteachers in the United States. Belfort, Lena Beccaria, Cesare - An Italian criminologist, jurist, philosopher, economist and politician, who is widely considered one of the greatest thinkers of the Age of Enlightenment. He is well remembered for his treatise On Crimes and Punishments (1764), which condemned torture and the death penalty, and was a founding work in the field of penology and the Classical School of criminology. Beccaria is considered the father of modern criminal law and the father of criminal justice. Beer, Max - An Austrian-born Marxist journalist, economist, and historian. Beer is best remembered as an early writer on the topic of imperialism and for a series of books, published in translation in several countries, which examined the nature of class struggle throughout human history. Beasley, William Gerald - British academic, author, editor, translator and Japanologist. He was Emeritus Professor of the History of the Far East at the School of Oriental and African Studies of London University. Bebel, August - A German socialist politician, writer, and orator. He is best remembered as one of the founders of the Social Democratic Workers' Party of Germany (SDAP) in 1869, which in 1875 merged with the General German Workers' Association into the Socialist Workers' Party of Germany (SAPD). Beard, Mary - Professor of Classics at the University of Cambridge, a fellow of Newnham College, and Royal Academy of Arts Professor of Ancient Literature. She is the classics editor of The Times Literary Supplement, where she also writes a regular blog, "A Don's Life". Her frequent media appearances and sometimes controversial public statements have led to her being described as "Britain's best-known classicist". Bayle, Pierre - A Huguenot, i.e., a French Protestant, who spent almost the whole of his productive life as a refugee in Holland. His life was devoted entirely to scholarship, and his erudition was second to none in his, or perhaps any, period. Although much of what he wrote was embedded in technical religious issues, for a century he was one the most widely read philosophers. Bax, Ernest Belfort - English barrister, journalist, philosopher, men's rights advocate, socialist, and historian. Bausani, Allesandro - Scholar of Islam, Arab and Persian studies, interlinguistics and the History of Religion, translating many works into Italian. He was one of the greatest Italian scholars of Islam, as well as a translator and commentator of one of the most important translations of the Qur'an into the Italian language. Bauer, Peter Thomas - Hungarian-born British development economist. Bauer is best remembered for his opposition to the then widely-held notion that the most effective manner to help developing countries advance is through state led development planning supported by foreign aid.
