Read the poem "The Great Wave: Hokusai."It is because the sea is blue,Because Fuji is blue, because the bent blueMen have white faces, like the snowOn Fuji, like the crest of the wave in the sky the color of theirBoats. It is because the airIs full of writing, because the wave is still: that nothingWill harm these frail strangers,That high over Fuji in an earthcolored sky the fingersWill not fall; and the blue menLean on the sea like snow, and the wave like a mountain leansAgainst the sky.In the painter's seaAll fishermen are safe. All anger bends under his unity.But the innocent bystander, he merely'Walks round a corner, thinking of nothing': hiddenBehind a screen we hear his cry.He stands half in and half out of the world; he is the men,But he cannot see below FujiThe shore the color of sky; he is the wave, he stretchesHis claws against strangers. He isNot safe, not even from himself. His world is flat.He fishes a sea full of serpents, he rides his boatBlindly from wave to wave toward Ararat.

A musical instrument had become a trophy, and the new carvings were in fact branding, a statement of the north’s political dominance over Central Africa and of allegiance to Islam.The drum had come to Khartoum at a critical moment in Sudanese history.

Read the excerpt from A History of the World in 100 Objects.This object has on it the image of a king, but this particular example has been appropriated by women – disfigured by a slogan as an act of female protest against the laws of the state. It is a British penny with King Edward VII in elegant profile, but his image has been defaced in what was then a criminal act. Stamped all over the king’s head in crude capitals are the words VOTES FOR WOMEN. This suffragette coin stands for all those who fought for the right to vote.

Read the excerpt from Ship's Chronometer from HMS Beagle.Before long the whole of Britain was running by the clock, and the measurement of time had been severed from the natural cycle of days and seasons. The clock ruled every aspect of life — shops and schools, pleasure and work. As Charles Dickens wrote, ‘There was even railway time observed in clocks, as if the sun itself had given in.’ Nigel Thrift explains:The chronometer, an exceptionally accurate clock, meant that gradually an ever more accurate measure of time became possible, and that of course worked through other things in the nineteenth century to produce ever more standardized time. A good example of that is the railway, where standard time based on the meridian was first applied by the Great Western Railway in 1840 and gradually that standard time became general.
