        Our original card sets are a way for any parent to play and interact with their child in a way that stimulates learning, improving cognitive skills and, perhaps more importantly, create a positive parent-child relationship. With the Carrot Cards both the parent and the child are engaged in an activity and they explore, learn, try, and experience together. We create every card set with a goal to make it as useful as possible, combining pedagogy and psychology, as well as aesthetics, creative writing and original concepts. Thus, allowing every child who opens a box of Carrot cards to experience a whole new learning experience. We have thousands of parents using the cards all over the world, sharing the excitement of learning and being curious together with their children.

        Gender, empire and citizenship

        British women and the South African War

        by Eliza Riedi

        When the South African War broke out in 1899 British middle-class women, already well-integrated into party politics and public life, were quick to respond. Women across a wide political spectrum, from jingo imperialists to 'pro-Boers', actively engaged in public debates over the war through meetings, speeches, petitions, electioneering, and the press. From the start pacifist women made important contributions to the anti-war movement, later providing vital backing for Emily Hobhouse's campaign to reform the concentration camps. Women imperialists supported the war effort through military philanthropy and imperial propaganda. Under Millicent Garrett Fawcett the government-appointed Ladies' Committee transformed the camps, while hundreds of British women were recruited as camps teachers and nurses. Fundamentally shaped by ideologies of gender and race, women's responses to this imperial war continued to influence women's public action and discourses of citizenship into the First World War.

        Engendering an avant-garde

        The unsettled landscapes of Vancouver photo-conceptualism

        by Leah Modigliani

        Engendering an avant-garde is the first book to comprehensively examine the origins of Vancouver photo-conceptualism in its regional context between 1968 and 1990. Employing discourse analysis of texts written by and about artists, feminist critique and settler-colonial theory, the book discusses the historical transition from artists' creation of 'defeatured landscapes' between 1968-71 to their cinematographic photographs of the late 1970s and the backlash against such work by other artists in the late 1980s. It is the first study to provide a structural account for why the group remains all-male. It accomplishes this by demonstrating that the importation of a European discourse of avant-garde activity, which assumed masculine social privilege and public activity, effectively excluded women artists from membership.

        Modernism and empire

        Writing and British coloniality, 1890–1940

        by Howard Booth, Nigel Rigby

        This is the first book to explore the relationship between literary modernism and the British Empire. Contributors look at works from the traditional modernist canon as well as extending the range of work addresses - particularly emphasising texts from the Empire. A key issue raised is whether modernism sprang from a crisis in the colonial system, which it sought to extend, or whether the modern movement was a more sophisticated form of cultural imperialism. The chapters in Modernism and empire show the importance of empire to modernism. Patrick Williams theorises modernism and empire; Rod Edmond discusses theories of degeneration in imperial and modernist discourse; Helen Carr examines Imagism and empire; Elleke Boehmer compares Leonard Woolf and Yeats; Janet Montefiore writes on Kipling and Orwell, C.L. Innes explores Yeats, Joyce and their implied audiences; Maire Ni Fhlathuin writes on Patrick Pearse and modernism; John Nash considers newspapers, imperialism and Ulysses; Howard J. Booth addresses D.H. Lawrence and otherness; Nigel Rigby discusses Sylvia Townsend Warner and sexuality in the Pacific; Mark Williams explores Mansfield and Maori culture; Abdulrazak Gurnah looks at Karen Blixen, Elspeth Huxley and settler writing; and Bill Ashcroft and John Salter take an inter-disciplinary approach to Australia and 'Modernism's Empire'. ;

        The Pianoplayers

        by Anthony Burgess

        by Will Carr, Paul Wake, Andrew Biswell

        This novel is one of Anthony Burgess's most accessible and entertaining works. By turns bawdy, raucous, tender and bittersweet, and full of music and songs, this is a warm and affectionate portrait of the working-class Lancashire of the 1920s and 1930s that he knew from his own early life. The Pianoplayers is a funny, moving, autobiographical novel that brings to life the world of silent cinemas and music-halls of 1920s Manchester and Blackpool. Fully annotated and with a new introduction, this is an authoritative text for a new generation of readers. Part of the forthcoming Irwell Edition of the Works of Anthony Burgess, this book offers an opportunity to reappraise an unjustly neglected novel important to our understanding of Burgess's wider oeuvre. The 2017 Burgess centenary makes this a key moment for reflection on the life and work of a major figure in twentieth century letters.

        Band 4: Späte Romane

        by Juan Carlos Onetti, Jürgen Dormagen, Gerhard Poppenberg, Anneliese Botond, Jürgen Dormagen, Rudolf Wittkopf

        Juan Carlos Onetti ist der große Solitär in der modernen lateinamerikanischen Literatur, einer der maßgeblichen Schriftsteller des 20. Jahrhunderts, ein Autor von künstlerischer, ästhetischer und moralischer Kompromisslosigkeit. In seinen letzten Romanen steigt Onetti tief hinab in den Schacht seiner Erfahrung des Lebens – aber wie unterschiedlich ist das, was er als Erzähler schreibend hervorholt: vier Romane, ›reife‹ und ›späte‹, die verschiedener nicht sein könnten und die in je eigener Form und Sprache eine besondere Geschichte erzählen. Der Tod und das Mädchen gehört zu den kleinen Meisterwerken der Weltliteratur. Es ist die Chronik eines angekündigten und perfide geplanten natürlichen Todes. Mit der Intensität von Kammermusik, auf dichtestem Raum, erzählt Onetti hier eine rätselhafte, unergründliche Geschichte. Lassen wir den Wind sprechen, ein Roman, der den Autor fast drei Jahrzehnte lang beschäftigt hat, schickt den als Maler und Liebhaber dilettierenden Kommissar Medina in die Zerreißprobe der Existenz, radikal zweifelnd, abgründig komisch. »Onettis Kunst ist wie Wetterleuchten, das über der epischen Landschaft Momente düsterer Schönheit zaubert. Erschreckend, oft unbegreiflich und doch seltsam beflügelnd«, hieß es in der NZZ über dieses Buch. Wenn damals evoziert die geheimnisvolle Gestalt einer Frau, Magda, einer legendären Figur des Nachtlebens von Buenos Aires. Es ist der ruppig-sehnende Tonfall des Tangos, der diesen gelöstesten Roman Onettis prägt. In Wenn es nicht mehr wichtig ist kommt Carr, ein mit Gleichmut Gescheiterter, mit einer absurden Aufgabe in einen grell ausgeleuchteten Randbereich von Schmuggel, Lebensbeharrung und ätzender Selbstbefragung. Seine Aufzeichnungen zeigen ihn als ein ironisch verzeichnetes Alter Ego des Autors. Das letzte Werk Onettis, ein Jahr vor seinem Tod erschienen, ist ein später, lakonischer Bogenschlag zu seinem atmosphärisch so ganz anderen Erstling Der Schacht.
