        Wildly 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'.

        Ins Ohr

        Erzählung

        by Evelyn Grill

        »Zu unserem 20. Hochzeitstag hatte mich mein Mann zu einem feinen Abendessen eingeladen. Als mein Mann das Glas erhob und sagte: ›Ich nehme die heutige Gelegenheit wahr, dir zu sagen, was ich bisher nur im stillen mit mir herumgetragen habe. Ich habe die Absicht, mich von dir zu trennen. Deshalb möchte ich mit dir auf die Jahre anstoßen, die noch vor uns liegen und die wir getrennt voneinander verbringen werden‹, glaubte ich, daß es sich dabei nur um einen schlechten Scherz handeln konnte und lachte etwas forciert.«Ein grausamer Einschnitt im Leben der 52jährigen Elfriede Schweiger, Mutter eines erwachsenen Sohnes – und eine Chance. Die Verlassene studiert Jura und eröffnet eine eigene Kanzlei, aus der Hausfrau wird eine Karrierefrau. Aber neue Männer treten in ihr Leben und damit neue Probleme. Ins Ohr ist das Protokoll einer Frau im Umbruch und im Aufbruch. Evelyn Grill legt die seelischen und körperlichen Befindlichkeiten dieser Frau frei. Beschreibt Momente von Hoffnung, Enttäuschung, Verliebtheit, Selbstzweifel, Größenwahn. Zeichnet das Diagramm einer Frau in den besten Jahren.

        by Erica Sheen, Robert Giddings

        This book critically examines the long established tradition of adapting classic novels to film or TV screen..

A wide-ranging but focused collection that is bang up to date and free of media jargon that looks at both the film and the book.. Includes discussion of: The English Patient, Pride and Prejudice and Middlemarch, Pickwick Papers, Dracula, Dickens, Conrad, Hardy and Waugh. ;
