    Open AccessPeter WillisARTICLEDIY Alternative Cultures & Society2025

    This article draws on my PhD thesis ‘Duplicate, Copy, Print: Towards a Material History of the Zine’, in order to explore the ways in which specific technologies, such as the stencil and spirit duplicator, photocopier, risograph and digital inkjet, have impacted zine production and zine culture.

    Open AccessMaycira Costa, Nicole Le Baron et al.ARTICLEApplied Geography2020

    The quantification of kelp forest distribution across space and time is critical to support decision-makers responsible for habitat management and conservation.

    Peter WillisARTICLEEighteenth-Century Studies1972

    THE PROMINENCE of the part played by Charles Bridgeman (d. 1738) in the establishment of the English landscape garden is unquestionable.' He succeeded Henry Wise as Royal Gardener in 1728; he collaborated with Vanbrugh, Gibbs, and Kent; he was the friend of Pope and Prior, the protege of Edward Harley, 2nd Earl of Oxford, and of Richard Temple, 1st Viscount Cobham. As a member of the St Luke's Club of Artists he found himself in the midst of a di…
