Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2025Wildly different
How five women reclaimed nature in a man’s world
by Sarah Lonsdale
The globe-trotting tales of five women who fought for the right to enjoy the wild places of the earth. For millennia the 'wild' was a place heroic men went on epic quests. Women were prevented from joining them, either through physical control or powerful myths about what would happen if they ventured beyond the city wall or village boundary. So how did women claim their place in the remote and lovely parts of our planet? In Wildly different, historian Sarah Lonsdale traces the lives of five women who fought for the right to work in, enjoy and help to save the earth's wild places. We'll meet Mina Hubbard, who outraged the exploration community when she stepped into a canoe in northern Labrador. Evelyn Cheesman, who became the first female keeper of insects at London Zoo. Dorothy Pilley, who shocked polite society by donning men's climbing breeches. Ethel Haythornthwaite, who helped make the Peak District Britain's first National Park. And Wangari Maathai, who started a movement to plant millions of trees across sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing on interviews with Sir David Attenborough, Wangari Maathai's daughter and others, Lonsdale recounts the women's adventures across five continents. Evocative and inspiring, this book shows how women can be 'wildly different'.

Gedichte. Fanbook. Hall of Fame
by Steffen Popp
»Welche Gedichte aus der reichen, kaum mehr zu überblickenden Produktion der jüngeren und jüngsten Gegenwart hätte man gern immer zu Hand, um mit und in ihnen auf Expeditionen zu gehen, ästhetische Erfahrungen zu machen? Nur die eigensinnigsten, heftigsten, schönst-umwerfenden natürlich... ein Parlament sprachlicher Wundertiere, wie man es sich über Jahre zusammenstellt, zahllose Lesezeichen und Eselsohren, verstreut über Bibliotheken. Ein solches Plenum wollte ich einberufen, in möglichst kompakter Form versammeln; die poetischen Texte, die mich als Autor und Leser in den letzten zwanzig Jahren am stärksten beeindruckt, berührt und begeistert haben.« Spitzen enthalt Gedichte von Marcel Beyer, Nico Bleutge, Mirko Bonné, Volker Braun, Ann Cotten, Ulrike Draesner, Elke Erb, Daniel Falb, Gerhard Falkner, Dieter M. Graf, Durs Grünbein, Hendrik Jackson, Thomas Kling, Barbara Köhler, Simone Kornappel, Dagmara Kraus, Birgit Kreipe, Björn Kuhligk, Thomas Kunst, Georg Leß, Friederike Mayröcker, Karl Mickel, Bert Papenfuß, Marion Poschmann, Kerstin Preiwuß, Arne Rautenberg, Monika Rinck, Thomas Rosenlöcher, Andre Rudolph, Silke Scheuermann, Sabine Scho, Katharina Schultens, Tom Schulz, Lutz Seiler, Ulf Stolterfoht, Sebastian Unger, Jan Wagner, Charlotte Warsen, Linus Westhäuser, Ron Winkler, Uljana Wolf.
