The War for All the Oceans

From Nelson at the Nile to Napoleon at Waterloo

By: Roy Adkins,Lesley Adkins

A brutal, action-packed account of the sea battles of the Napoleonic War by the author of the bestselling Nelson’s Trafalgar and co-author of the forthcoming Gibraltar: The Greatest Siege in British History (March 2018) As he did with his much lauded Nelson’s Trafalgar, Roy Adkins (now writing with wife Lesley) again thrusts readers into the perils and thrills of early-nineteenth-century warfare. From its very first page, this is an adventure story--a superb account of the naval war that lasted from Napoleon’s seizure of power in 1798 to the War of 1812 with the United States. Providing a ringside seat to the decisive battles, as well as detailed and vivid portraits of sailors and commanders, press-gangs, prostitutes, and spies, The War for All the Oceans is “a rollicking, patriotic account of the Napoleonic wars that will go down well with Master and Commander fans” (The Telegraph).

Safer Gardens

Plant Flammability & Planning For Fire

By: Lesley Corbett

Destructive bushfires are increasing in frequency and intensity around the world. For people living in fire prone areas there are no reliable guides about which plants have low flammability and which are frighteningly flammable. Safer Gardens is that guide, with over 500 plants assessed, based on fire research from around the world. Readers can look up a plant in the Plant Flammability Table to get an idea of its flammability then turn to the A–Z for more detailed information. The book contains advice about ways to create a more firesafe garden, including the need to carefully manage the use of mulch and hedges. This is citizen science, written by a gardener for other gardeners. Complex and potentially confusing science is made comprehensible and usable, to help you make your garden and hence your house safer.

Cubism & Australian Art

Cubism & Australian Art

By: Lesley Harding,Sue Cramer

Cubism was a movement that changed fundamentally the course of twentieth-century art. It had far-reaching effects, both conceptual and stylistic, which are still being felt today. Described in 1912 by French poet and commentator Guillaume Apollinaire as 'not an art of imitation, but an art of conception', Cubism irreversibly altered art's relationship to visual reality. 'I paint things as I think them, not as I see them', Picasso said. Cubism and Australian Art examines for the first time the impact of this transformative art movement on the work of Australian artists, from the early 1920s to the present day. The authors argue that by its very nature, Cubism was characterised by variation and change, that the idea of a pure or original Cubism was short lived, and that its appearance in Australian art parallels its uptake and re-interpretation by artists internationally. In the words of French artist Andr Lhote, mentor to several Australians who studied at his Academy in Paris: 'There are a thousand defi nitions of Cubism, because there are a thousand painters practising it'. More than eighty international and Australian artists are showcased with over 300 works, featuring Sam Atyeo, Ralph Balson, Grace Crowley, Frank Hinder, Roger Kemp, Godfrey Miller, Stephen Bram and Daniel Crooks, as well as Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Fernand L ger.

Decolonial Daughter

Letters from a Black Woman to her European Son

By: Lesley-Ann Brown

A Trinidadian-American writer and activist explores motherhood, migration, and identity—and how it relates to land, imprisonment, and genocide for Black and Indigenous peoples. Having moved to Copenhagen, Denmark from Brooklyn over 18 years ago, Brown attempts to contextualize her and her son’s existence in a post-colonial and supposedly post-racial world, where the very machine of so-called progress has been premised upon the demise of her lineage. Through letters to her son, Brown writes the past into the present—penned from the country that has been declared “The Happiest Place in the World”—creating a vision that is a necessary alternative to the dystopian one currently being bought and sold.

Jane Austen's England

Daily Life in the Georgian and Regency Periods

By: Roy Adkins,Lesley Adkins

An authoritative account of everyday life in Regency England, the backdrop of Austen’s beloved novels, from the authors of the forthcoming Gibraltar: The Greatest Siege in British History (March 2018) Nearly two centuries after her death, Jane Austen remains the most cherished of all novelists in the English language, incomparable in the wit, warmth, and insight with which she depicts her characters and life. Yet the milieu Austen presents is only one aspect of the England in which she lived, a time of war, unrest, and dramatic changes in the country’s physical and social landscape. Jane Austen’s England offers a fascinating new view of the great novelist’s time, in a wide-ranging and richly detailed social history of English culture. As in their bestselling book Nelson’s Trafalgar, Roy and Lesley Adkins have drawn upon a wide array of contemporary sources to chart the daily lives of both the gentry and the commoners, providing a vivid cultural snapshot of not only how people worked and played, but how they struggled to survive.

Many Mexicos

Many Mexicos

By: Lesley Byrd Simpson

Perhaps no country's history is as fascinating and perplexing as that of Mexico. "Mother Mexico," land of paradox, of contradiction and extreme--these are the strands that Lesley Byrd Simpson weaves into a unified fabric in presenting the country's history. First published in 1941, Many Mexicos was awarded the Commonwealth Club Gold Medal for Literature. Travelers, students, and all who delight in the adventure of narrative history have since treasured the volume for its clarity and readability. Now, completely revised, the Silver Anniversary Edition reflects the vast published output of these past twenty-five years on the history of Mexico. Some chapters have been enlarged, others corrected. A map of Mexico showing political subdivisions is now included, and, in general, new material has been added to document the author's controversial statement (and there are many). Bloody conquests and revolutions; men, good or evil; art, religion, and institutions brought from Spain or made in Mexico; topography and climate; the conflict of cultures and races; and finally, the emergence of Mexico into today's bewildering world--this in broad outline is the absorbing story Mr. Simpson so warmly presents.

Hope and Grief in the Anthropocene

By: Lesley Head

Hope and Grief in the Anthropocene

Re-conceptualising human–nature relations

By: Lesley Head

The Anthropocene is a volatile and potentially catastrophic age demanding new ways of thinking about relations between humans and the nonhuman world. This book explores how responses to environmental challenges are hampered by a grief for a pristine and certain past, rather than considering the scale of the necessary socioeconomic change for a 'future' world. Conceptualisations of human-nature relations must recognise both human power and its embeddedness within material relations. Hope is a risky and complex process of possibility that carries painful emotions; it is something to be practised rather than felt. As centralised governmental solutions regarding climate change appear insufficient, intellectual and practical resources can be derived from everyday understandings and practices. Empirical examples from rural and urban contexts and with diverse research participants - indigenous communities, climate scientists, weed managers, suburban householders - help us to consider capacity, vulnerability and hope in new ways.

First Knowledges Plants

Past, Present and Future

By: Zena Cumpston,Michael Fletcher,Lesley Head

What do you need to know to prosper as a people for at least 65,000 years? The First Knowledges series provides a deeper understanding of the expertise and ingenuity of Indigenous Australians. Plants are the foundation of life on Earth. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have always known this to be true. For millennia, reciprocal relationships with plants have provided both sustenance to Indigenous communities and many of the materials needed to produce a complex array of technologies. Managed through fire and selective harvesting and replanting, the longevity and intricacy of these partnerships are testament to the ingenuity and depth of Indigenous first knowledges. Plants: Past, Present and Future celebrates the deep cultural significance of plants and shows how engaging with this heritage could be the key to a healthier, more sustainable future. 'Plants: Past, Present and Future calls for new ways of understanding and engaging with Country, and reveals the power and possibility of Indigenous ecological expertise.' - BILLY GRIFFITHS 'An enlightening read on the power of plants and the management practices of Indigenous people.' - TERRI JANKE

Environmental and Socio-economic Transformation in Borneo and the Eastern Malay Peninsula

By: H. C. Brookfield,Yvonne Byron,Lesley M. Potter

This book describes the modern transformation of Borneo and the eastern side of the Malay Peninsula, an area considered to be "environmentally critical" because of the massive deforestation that has taken place there since the 1960s. The conclusions indicate that great dangers arise from national policies that continue to treat this region as a "resource frontier" despite its growing resource scarcity.

Bushfires in Australia

By: John Lesley

Along with cyclones and floods, bushfires have always been part of the Australian natural environment. Increasing population has meant that more homes are being built in the outer parts of cities. These regions are close to natural bushland where there might be bushfires in the future. Thousands of years ago, Indigenous Australians developed ways of managing bushfires, so that the landscapes they cared for would not suffer catastrophic destruction. Today, firefighters also undertake hazard reduction burns to keep areas safe from monster bushfires.

The Lesley Glaister Collection Volume Three

The Private Parts of Women, Partial Eclipse, and Now You See Me

By: Lesley Glaister

From “one of Britain’s finest novelists”: A tender and terrifying collection of novels about women on the brink of salvation and the edge of disaster (The Sunday Telegraph).

Partial Eclipse

A Novel

By: Lesley Glaister

Between Scotland and Botany Bay, two incarcerated young women—a century apart—are united by crime—in this “brilliant” novel from the award-winning author (Nick Hornby). Jennifer Maybee is in solitary confinement, imprisoned for an undisclosed crime. Deprived of companionship and driven desperate by grim routine, she has only “memory and imagination” for escape. But she isn’t the first in her family to be convicted of a crime. Ever since she was a young girl, Jennifer has been fascinated with stories about her cousin Peggy. A century before, Peggy was a desperate young mother, tried, convicted, and deported to the penal colony of Botany Bay, in Australia. All for the theft of a peacock. Just imagine the degradation she suffered to possess a thing of beauty. Jennifer does. Jennifer remembers what she herself longed to possess, too. He was a jazz musician, thirty years her senior, whom she met one Christmas in Scotland—and whose fleeting attention sparked in her an obsessive, unyielding, and dangerous passion. Now, as Jennifer and Peggy’s parallel lives unfold, love stories are woven from squalid obsessions, memories collide with the truth, and Jennifer’s long-held secrets will be revealed as she struggles with her fate, and the storied one of a woman long lost to history. In Lesley Glaister’s “enormously enjoyable”(Nick Hornby), Digging to Australia, Jennifer Maybee was first introduced as a girl “frighteningly adroit at inflicting pain on those close to her”(Los Angeles Times). The consequences arise in Partial Eclipse, where “everyone seems to be set on self-destruct, blindly chasing after the wrong dream or man or peacock” (The Independent).

Cultural Landscapes and Environmental Change

Cultural Landscapes and Environmental Change

By: Lesley Head

Cultural landscapes are usually understood within physical geography as those transformed by human action. As human influence on the earth increases, advances in palaeocological reconstruction have also allowed for new interpretations of the evidence for the earliest human impacts on the environment. It is essential that such evidence is examined in the context of modern trends in social sciences and humanities. This stimulating new book argues that convergence of the two approaches can provide a more holistic understanding of long-term physical and human processes. Split into two major sections, this book attempts to bridge the gap between the sciences and humanities. The first section, provides an analysis of the methodological tools employed in examining processes of environmental change. Empirical research in the fields of palaecology and Quaternary studies is combined with the latest theoretical views of nature and landscape occurring in cultural geography, archaeology and anthropology. The author examines the way in which environmental management decisions are made. The book then moves on to discuss the relevance of this perspective to contemporary issues through a wide variety of international case studies, including World Heritage protection, landscape preservation, indigenous people and cultural tourism.

Switch-Reference and Discourse Representation

By: Lesley Stirling

This book argues that types of anaphoric linkage across clause boundaries cannot be adequately accounted for by Binding Theory, proposing instead an account for them which is formalised in Discourse Representation Theory.

Now You See Me

A Novel

By: Lesley Glaister

An orphan and a fugitive find a connection in their secret pasts in this “love story that moves with the pace of a thriller” from an award-winning author (Yorkshire Post). At sixteen, Lamb walks out on her life. Her parents are dead and she has no brothers or sisters. For money, she cleans people’s homes. For shelter, she lives in the cellar of an elderly client. For survival, she imagines herself as a tightrope walker—one foot in front of the other, eyes straight ahead, and never allowing anyone to touch her, lest she lose her balance. Then she meets Doggo. And Lamb can feel herself falling. Doggo walked out on his life, too—or more precisely, he ran. A fugitive fleeing from a violent criminal past, he needs Lamb’s help staying under the radar. Quick-tempered, foul-mouthed, yet surprisingly tender, Doggo needs Lamb in other ways, too. But the closer they get, the more Lamb risks her precarious balance between life and death. And fear has never felt so comforting. Now You See Me, from Somerset Maugham Award winner Lesley Glaister, is an empowering novel about loneliness, trust, the fictions we tell ourselves to survive, and the primal need to connect. It also “boasts a protagonist so heartbreakingly well-realized that you are forced to live through her eyes, in her head, her heart . . . if only all fiction made us worry and care so hard, posed us such dreadfully difficult questions” (The Guardian). “Glaister is at her best . . . written in the crisply poetic prose for which she’s known, [she] transforms the bleakest situations into compelling fiction.” —The Independent “Before Gillian Flynn, there was Lesley Glaister.” —Harper’s Bazaar
