Agriculture & related industriesJanuary 2002Rural Aquaculture
by Edited by Peter Edwards, Harvey Demaine, David C Little
Aquaculture for both finfish and shellfish is expanding rapidly throughout the world. It is regarded as having the potential to provide a valuable source of protein in less developed countries and to be integrated into the farming systems and livelihoods of the rural poor.This book addresses key issues in aquaculture and rural development, with case studies drawn from several countries in South and South-East Asia. Papers included cover topics ranging from production and technical issues (such as pond culture and rice field fisheries) to social aspects and research and development methodology. The book has been developed from a meeting of the Asian Fisheries Society. It is aimed at all concerned with aquaculture and rural development.

Childhood encounters with history in British culture, 1750–1914
by Rachel Bryant Davies, Barbara Gribling
This collection brings together scholars from disciplines including Children's Literature, Classics, and History to develop fresh approaches to children's culture and the uses of the past. It charts the significance of historical episodes and characters during the long nineteenth-century (1750-1914), a critical period in children's culture. Boys and girls across social classes often experienced different pasts simultaneously, for purposes of amusement and instruction. The book highlights an active and shifting market in history for children, and reveals how children were actively involved in consuming and repackaging the past: from playing with historically themed toys and games to performing in plays and pageants. Each chapter reconstructs encounters across different media, uncovering the cultural work done by particular pasts and exposing the key role of playfulness in the British historical imagination.

Children's & YAThe Little Christmas Engine
by Anna Ruhe/Igor Lange
It’s winter in the pleasure park. The Little Engine is dreaming of Christmas, as he does every year. It would be so nice to see a real Christmas for himself. Suddenly something terrible happens up in the sky: Father Christmas comes crashing down to earth with his overloaded sleigh. Fortunately, no one is hurt, but the sleigh is broken. This is the Little Engine’s chance. He makes Father Christmas a great offer – and so he saves this year’s Christmas.

Children's & YAThe Little Honey Bee and Friends
by Friederun Reichenstetter/ Hans-Günther Döring
Bees, butterflies, ladybirds! So many insects are out and about in our native meadows. This puzzle book is full of little informative texts, animal stickers and pictures to colour in which not only educate but also promote early awareness about the environment and conservation. The pedagogical concept works through age-appropriate tasks and a clear structure: true-to-nature picture book illustrations on the left-hand side with a short factual text that can be read aloud or independently, plus a quiz question, then on the right-hand side are stickers and a puzzle to colour in. Testing knowledge is good. But this goes further: encouraging children to be inquisitive and imaginative about nature. At the end each animal sticker book with the little honey bee will look different. However you want it to be.

Children's & YAThe Little Lady in the Blue Mountains (5)
by Stefanie Taschinski/Nina Dullek
The Blue Mountains are calling! When Lilly’s grandma’s favourite cow falls ill, the Bear family immediately decide to pay them a visit – but without the Little Lady. Mother and Father Bear are worried that her chameleon-like behaviour might upset Grandma Annie. But Lilly, Charley and the Little Lady won’t accept such thinking. With a zip and a zoom the Little Lady opens her umbrella and up and away they go on the greatest mountain “salafari” of all time! But then something weird happens to the Little Lady: first her feet start to tickle, then her fine hiking boots start to pinch, and her jacket seems to be shrinking! She sees with horror that she is starting to grow. What can Lilly, Charley and she do to stop it?
