Mark Carroll was for over 30 years a biochemistry lecturer at one of London's premier medical schools. He was introduced to family history by his sister in 2002. His first major project was to research his mother's maiden name, Orriss. Little did he know that it would not be so easy, despite the apparently rare surname. He also did not realise that he would come up against the genealogist's worst nightmare: a Smith family from London! In spite of these challenges he made substantial progress. Along the way he was helped by archivists and by some distant cousins who had been researching the shared family for years. With their combined sleuthing, he and they together took the Orriss line back to a marriage in Suffolk in 1597. But what to do when you hit a genealogical 'brick wall'? In recent years DNA analysis has opened up new possibilities for family historians. With his professional background in human biochemical genetics, Mark was well placed to take advantage of this novel technology. In this fascinating and at times amusing book Mark takes you on a journey to discover the origins of his mother's family. He describes, in an engaging and non-technical way, his successes and failures, the research methods he employed, the skills he developed, and his use of DNA analysis. He has yet to overcome his greatest genealogical challenge - to prove whether his mother's Orriss family is descended from King Alfred the Great!

This book places the radicalization of art music in early post-war France in its broader socio-cultural and political context. It pursues two general and intersecting lines of inquiry. The first details the stances towards musical conservatism and innovation adopted by cultural strategists representing Western and Soviet ideological interests at the onset of the Cold War. The second, which draws upon the commentaries of Theodor Adorno and Jean-Paul Sartre, recognizes that the Cold War generated a heightened political awareness amongst French musicians at the very time when the social relevance of avant-garde music had become the subject of widespread debate. The study considers the implications of the performance at L'Oeuvre du XXe siècle, an international arts festival staged in Paris in 1952 with the intention of discrediting socialist realism by means of two opposing musical types: neo-classicism (represented by Stravinsky's Symphony in C) and serialism (Boulez's Structures 1a).
