If Animals Could Speak, Oh the Stories They Would Tell!
In her second book of children's short stories, Susan Perry brings you to the lively energetic tales of some of her favorite animal characters: • Twin dolphins separated from their parents during a fierce hurricane -- their journey home is the adventure of a lifetime! From a goofy pelican to a large, angry shark, they find friends, bravely face danger, and never lose hope in finding their parents again. • Ranger Rob, a valiant friend of the animals of the forest. He saves them when a destructive fire threatens their home and gains their trust in return. • Scout, a beautiful Blue Heeler dog. She was taken from her home, but she never loses sight of getting back to the human that she loves more than anything. These are just a few of the stories the animals tell in this fun book of adventures. Throughout the stories, the animals go on adventures, learn valuable lessons, and make great friends -- like Freda and Cathy, two fish who see deeper than outward appearances as they try to find a place where they will be accepted as the special and unique creatures they are. Listen closely to these wonderful lessons in life, as only the animals could tell them!

Representations of Masculinity in Literature and Film
How are men represented on the printed page, the stage and the screen? What do these representations say about masculinity in the past, the present, and the future? The twelve essays in this volume explore the different ways in which men and masculinity have been represented, from the plays of William Shakespeare to the science fiction of Richard K. Morgan, passing through classic fiction by Emily Brontë and Charles Dickens, and popular favourites by Terry Pratchett and Isaac Asimov, without forgetting the Star Wars saga. Collectively, these essays argue that, although much has been written about men, it has been done from a perspective that does not see masculinity as a specific feature in need of critical appraisal. Men need to be made aware of how they are represented in order to alter the toxic patriarchal models handed down to them and even break the extant binary gender models. For that, it is important that men distinguish patriarchy from masculinity, as is done here, and form anti-patriarchal alliances with each other and with women. This book is, then, an invitation to men’s liberation from patriarchy by raising an awareness of its crippling constraints.

The New Urban Park
From Yellowstone to the Great Smoky Mountains, America's national parks are sprawling tracts of serenity, most of them carved out of public land for recreation and preservation around the turn of the last century. America has changed dramatically since then, and so has its conceptions of what parkland ought to be. In this book, one of our premier environmental historians looks at the new phenomenon of urban parks, focusing on San Francisco's Golden Gate National Recreation Area as a prototype for the twenty-first century. Cobbled together from public and private lands in a politically charged arena, the GGNRA represents a new direction for parks as it highlights the long-standing tension wit...
