Edited with an introduction by Hilary Emmett Thomas Ruys Smith in collaboration with students from the Department of American Studies at UEA.Author and activist Lydia Maria Child was a foundational figure in the development of American literature in the early nineteenth century. After her debut novel Hobomok (1824) challenged readers with its representation of interracial marriage, she continued to blaze literary trails for the rest of her life, developing a loyal readership as she confronted the most pressing issues in American life. She wrote novels, poems and short stories, composed housekeeping and parenting manuals, edited abolitionist newspapers and narrativesâ ”most notably Harriet Jacobs Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (1861). Less well-known is that she almost single-handedly invented a new American literature for children. For decades, and particularly during her time at the helm of groundbreaking childrenâ ™s magazine The Juvenile Miscellany (1826-1834), Child was a constant companion for young readers across the world.For the first time, this anthology brings together a career-spanning collection of Childâ ™s writing for children which demonstrates the extraordinary richness and range of her vital work in this field. As she shaped the idea of what childrenâ ™s literature could be and do, Child trusted her young readers to understand difficult questions of social and racial justice, explorations of natural and national history, sentimental domestic sketches, and much more besides. Contemporary readers can now rediscover the delight that the arrival of a new issue of The Juvenile Miscellany brought to the world while grappling critically with the ongoing resonance of these questions in the twenty-first century.

Suzanne Simardová nás zavede do svého světa, do srdce lesa. Uká­že nám, že stromy nejsou pouze zdrojem dřeva či buničiny, ale že tvoří složitý a vzájemně provázaný koloběh života. Právě její pře­vratné pátrání vedlo k objevu „lesního internetu“ (Wood Wide Web), který ve svých knihách popisuje také Peter Wohlleben. S ob­jevitelskou vášní popisuje, jak se stromy rostoucí stovky let vedle sebe vyvíjejí, jak se učí a přizpůsobují okolnostem, poznávají své sousedy a rafinovaně spolu soupeří i spolupracují. V centru jejího výzkumu přitom stojí tzv. mateřské stromy – prastaré, mocné a ta­jemné velikány, které spojují a chrání ostatní stromy ve svém okolí. „Suzanne Simardová sdílí moudrost své­ho života, kdy naslouchala lesu... Její vě­decké paměti jsou stejně napínavé jako seriály HBO.“ - THE OBSERVER „Ve své objevné prvotině o ,překvapivých tajemstvích‘ stromů Suzanne Simardová umně spojuje vědu s autobiografií...

Je považována za průkopnici v oblasti rostlinné komunikace a inteligence, její TED Talks zhlédlo více než deset milionů lidí po celém světě. „Začala jsem tedy podnikat výzkumné výpravy, abych zjistila, kde jsme se tak šeredně spletli, a abych rozlouskla záhadu, proč se krajina sama zahojí, když jí k tomu dáme prostor — jak jsem viděla v případě vlastních předků, kteří káceli lehčí rukou.

In the decades it took her to recover from the experience, Suzanne came to understand her suffering as part of something larger: a long tradition of women whose complicated and compromised stories of self-discovery are reduced to madwoman narratives. Transporting, honest and unflinching, Committed is a story of discovery and recovery, reclaiming the idea of the madwoman as a template for insight and transcendence through the works of Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, Janet Frame, Shulamith Firestone and others.

This wide-ranging book illuminates Jacksonâ ™s work and its connections to nature, environmentalism, performance, feminism, and Black and Native traditions. It explores the way her innovative hanging acrylic works break the canvas; the role of dance and set design in Jacksonâ ™s practice; and her trailblazing Los Angeles art space Gallery 32, which she ran from 1968 to 1970, and which became a focus for a circle of fellow emerging artists. The book also features artist dialogues between Jackson and Nengudi, Saar, Fred Eversley, and Richard Mayhew, as well as a conversation between Jackson and SFMOMA painting conservator Jennifer Hickey.

A celebration of mindful snacking with more than 75 recipes well worth nibbling on, whether you’re eating for one or entertaining a group of friends—from the author of Graze. “Suzanne does ‘girl dinner’ one better with Peckish, a charming collection of not-quite-meals that perfectly satisfy the way we want to eat today.”—Giada De Laurentiis“My favorite food experiences are very often over the kitchen counter or standing midway between the sink and the stove, so caught up in the chat at hand that simmering pots are neglected and salad dressings are left half-made. What’s come to me at last is that many of the most compelling discussions and deepest fits of laughter happen in between the making and the meal itself. These moments are perfect because they have all the features one hopes for in the feast without the organization, orchestration, and, yes, exhaustion. So why not liberate ourselves and embrace the truth? So often it’s the snacks, the tastes in between, that make our hearts race.” Mindful snacking (and home cooking) is the philosophy that food stylist and author Suzanne Lenzer nurtures in her own life and shares here with us. Who doesn’t love standing in front of a full fridge wondering what to pull out for a covert snack? Eating is simply more fun when we have a few choices and are free to eat how we like, not simply how we’ve been conditioned.  But don’t fret, thoughtful snacking is not complicated nor does it require long days spent at the stove. And while it does require a modicum of planning, the benefits exponentially outweigh the effort. Thoughtful snacking is also about moving beyond boards and platters when we entertain, by adding dimension to the table, both in what we serve and how we serve it. Peckish is divided into charming chapters sorted by vessel—such as On Toast, In Jars, Skewers and Sticks, In Bowls, Napkins Only, and more—so that the home cook can plan their snacking night with ease.

Britainâ ™s gardens are a vast, living landscape and the home to hundreds of species of birds. Learn to pay attention to these visitors to your own garden or local park and youâ ™ll have a front-row seat to the unfolding drama that is the garden birdâ ™s year.As dawn breaks across your back garden, if you were paying attention, you would notice that the robin and the blackbird are always the first birds to arrive. These ground hunters have large eyes, so donâ ™t mind the dim light of the early morning. And thatâ ™s just the beginning of what you can learn watching your own back garden. Ornithologist Mike Toms has spent a year avidly observing his own garden, and the result is a comprehensive picture of the lives of garden birds.From the crowded yet quiet January garden populated by migratory fieldfares and bramblings, to the riotous gardens of spring, filled with songbirds competing for mates, the garden ecosystem changes throughout the year. Learn to spot these changes, to greet the arrival of the swifts in May and the new crop of fledgling goldfinches and blackbirds in June, and youâ ™ll find a new world opening up to you.A Garden Birdâ ™s Year is the perfect introduction to this world. Supremely readable, it explains biology and behaviour to paint a picture of the lives of common bird species, while also offering practical information for watching and feeding the birds in your own backyard. Toms details birdsâ ™ preferences for particular plants, seeds and feeders, so you can learn to attract different species to your own garden. He also charts fascinating recent adaptations â “ urban birds sleep later than their rural counterparts, probably because cities are on average a few degrees warmer, and they sing either earlier or later, to avoid competing with local traffic; and the balance of migratory birds to Britain is being affected by the worldâ ™s changing climate. Many species of garden birds are threatened, but there is much that each one of us can do to support them, to attract them, and to help them thrive through the year.

Naturalistic plantings, overflowing with biodiverse communities of plants, are filling front and backyards around the globe with colorful blooms, easy-care plants, and wildlife habitat.

You step out of the back door into the garden. There may be a few birds flitting around, perhaps butterflies or bumblebees on the wing. But often the garden can seem very still. But if you look beyond the superficial inactivity there is an ecological web of wildlife to explore, to understand and then to encourage more biodiversity.The Science of Garden Biodiversity: The Living Garden shows how data and science can help to dispel myths, such as that a garden fit for wildlife must be ‘ wild’ and that you must grow native plants. It also provides an understanding of how diverse life can be in gardens and how gardens work. And along the way there are scientific ‘ signposts’ to better wildlife gardening. Julian Doberski explains the role of small things - microorganisms and invertebrates - that are fundamental to the ecological functioning of gardens. Learning more about the ecology of a garden helps us understand and appreciate what makes a garden a refuge for wildlife and how following the science may lead to a more thoughtful and constructive approach to gardening and garden design and garden planting.
