        Living with water

        Everyday encounters and liquid connections

        by Charlotte Bates, Kate Moles

        Living with water brings together sociologists, geographers, artists, writers and poets to explore the ways in which water binds, immerses and supports us. Drawing from international research on river crossings, boat dwelling, wild swimming, sea fishing, and drought impacts, and navigating urban waters, glacial lagoons, barrier reefs and disappearing tarns, the collection illuminates the ways that we live with and without water, and explores how we can think and write with water on land. Water offers a way of attending to emerging and enduring social and ecological concerns and making sense of them in lively and creative ways. By approaching Living with water from different disciplinary and methodological perspectives, and drawing on research from around the world, this collection opens up discussions that reinvigorate and renew previously landlocked debates. This book is relevant to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6, Clean water and sanitation

        Kept women in Victorian literature

        by Katie R. Peel

        Readers and Mistresses: Kept Women in Victorian Literature identifies kept mistresses in British Victorian narrative and offers ways to understand their experiences. The author discusses kept women characters in Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist, Elizabeth Gaskell's Mary Barton and Ruth, Anne Brontë's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and George Eliot's Daniel Deronda, and examines the methods their authors use to encourage reader empathy. This book also usefully demonstrates how to identify kept women when they are less visible in texts. I look at primary women characters in Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, Dickens' Hard Times and Dombey and Son, and George Gissing's The Odd Women.

        The Barefoot Crew and the Stolen Granny

        by Jörg Steinleitner/ Daniela Kohl

        Something smells of adventure: summer holidays in the country can be like a whodunnit – where else can you find a missing Granny together with a real treasure and eight bare feet? Jörg Steinleitner brings his readers a true sense of well-being, in a world full of adventure. With varied and powerful illustrations by bestselling illustrator Daniela Kohl. Whoever thinks that summer holidays in the village are boring is mistaken: on the very first day of the holidays, Tanne’s Granny Schnitzel disappears without trace. It’s a good job that Corvin (9), Kiki (10), Ben (10) and Tanne (11) were just about to form a gang: the Barefoot Crew. And soon they have more than just bare feet and a kidnapped Granny to contend with – there’s also a real treasure! A hugely exciting criminal case with a breathtaking natural backdrop, together with varied feel-good factors that prompt readers to dream, discover and share in the story’s thrills. Best-suited for boys and girls aged 8+.
