      Extending ecocriticism

      Crisis, collaboration and challenges in the environmental humanities

      by Peter Barry, William Welstead

      This volume of essays explores the scope for a further extension of ecocriticism across the environmental humanities. Contributors, who include both established academics and early career researchers in the humanities, were given free rein to interpret the brief. The collection is unusual in that it considers collaboration between individuals both in the same discipline and across creative disciplines. Subjects include familiar environments close to home and those such as Iceland and Antarctica, where narratives of climate, geology and ecology provide a stark backdrop to creative output. A further innovation is the inclusion of essays on public art, natural heritage interpretation and the visualisation and aesthetic impact of wind farms. The book will be of interest to writers, artists, students and researchers in the environmental humanities and those with a general interest in the cultural response to the environment.

      High culture and tall chimneys

      Art institutions and urban society in Lancashire, 1780–1914

      by James Moore

      This new study examines how nineteenth-century industrial Lancashire became a leading national and international art centre. By the end of the century almost every major town possessed an art gallery, while Lancashire art schools and artists were recognised at home and abroad. The book documents the remarkable rise of visual art across the county, along with the rise of the commercial and professional classes who supported it. It examines how Lancashire looked to great civilisations of the past for inspiration while also embracing new industrial technologies and distinctively modern art movements. This volume will be essential reading for all those with an interest in the new industrial society of the nineteenth century, from art lovers and collectors to urban and social historians.

      The stories behind Egyptian mummies in museums

      by Angela Stienne

      Mummified explores the curious, unsettling and controversial cases of mummies held in French and British museums. From powdered mummies eaten as medicine to mummies unrolled in public, dissected for race studies and DNA-tested in modern laboratories, there is a lot more to these ancient remains than first meets the eye. This book takes you on a journey from Paris to London, Leicester and Manchester, from the apothecaries of the Middle Ages to the dissecting tables of the eighteenth century, and finally behind the screen of today's computers, to revisit the stories of these bodies that have fascinated Europeans for so long. Mummified investigates matters of life and death, of collecting and viewing, and of interactions - sometimes violent and sometimes emotional - that question the essence of what makes us human.

      The stories behind Egyptian mummies in museums

      by Angela Stienne

      The unsettling stories of how Egyptian mummies came to be held in British and French museums. We all know what a mummy is - or do we? In Mummified, Angela Stienne explores the little-known stories behind the Ancient Egyptian remains displayed in British and French museums. Taking the reader on a journey between Egypt, Paris and London, Stienne exposes a murky world of grave-robbing, theft and black-market deals over human remains. Mummies have been unrolled in public, dissected for race studies and even eaten for their supposed health-giving properties. But does the fact they are thousands of years old mean they can be treated as objects, or do we owe them the same respect we would any other human body? Investigating matters of life and death and the ethics of collection and display, Mummified offers a fresh perspective on these ancient bodies, which have fascinated Europeans for centuries.

      52 Greek Islands

      A sentimental guide

      by Gregory Papadoyiannis

      This is a “sentimental” guide for travelers, through 52 of the Greek islands. The term "sentimental" implies something more than a commonplace guide and this is certainly not just a typical guidebook. There is already a plethora of classic guidebooks; the internet is rife with a lot of useful – and even more useless – information. This book has simply been written out of outrageous love for the islands, as an attempt to describe how it feels to actually “live the island” – even just for a week – and to find out what each island is really like, from how it looks to how it can be characterized in terms of its deeper essence; it’s a process similar to getting to know a friend, or perhaps even to falling in love that led to the creation of this delightful crossbreed between a guidebook and a memoir.
