Women Writing the Home Tour, 1682-1812
Focusing on female-authored home tour travel narratives, this study maps the way in which the changing face of British travel and its writing can be traced through the accounts of the women who participated in that tradition. Within these women's travelogues Kinsley explores the matters of gender, class, and national identity, and her consideration of manuscript travelogues alongside printed texts enhances our understanding of the issues being raised.
IN HER EYES
The Schouk-tai have bioengineered themselves into a corner and are now looking for a way to save themselves from extinction and they have come up empty at every turn. As their last hope, they have decided to attempt the unthinkable by making direct contact with a few known sentient alien species in hopes of recruiting help in their search for answers. Two human scientists, Dr. Zhang Wei and Dr. Miles Stephens, are among those targeted for contact. Can the alien emissaries convince their human counterparts that they can be trusted? Unimaginable distances travelled, impenetrable language barriers, and sabotage will all create interesting stories for their grandchildren. That’s if they succeed and survive. Join the crew of the Questare ship, The Hope, as they put their lives on the line for the survival of their species.
New Directions in Ceramics
New Directions in Ceramics explores and responds to contemporary ceramists' use of innovative modes of practice, investigating how change is happening and interpreting key works. Jo Dahn provides an overview of the current ceramics landscape, identifying influential exhibitions, events and publications, to convey a flavour of debates at a time when much about the character of ceramics is in a state of flux. What non-traditional activities does the term 'ceramics' now encompass? How have these practices developed and how have they been accommodated by institutions in Britain and internationally? Work by a wide range of ceramists, including Edmund de Waal, Nina Hole, Clare Twomey, Keith Harris...

The Culture of Knitting
From booties and scarves to art and fashion, The Culture of Knitting addresses knitting as art, craft, design, fashion and performance, and as an aspect of the everyday. Drawing on a variety of sources, including interviews with knitters from different disciplines as well as amateurs, the text breaks down hierarchical boundaries and stereotypical assumptions that have previously negated the academic study of knitting. The book also highlights the diversity and complexity of knitting in all its guises. The Culture of Knitting investigates not merely why knitting is so popular now but also the reasons why knitting has such longevity. By assessing the literature of knitting, manuals, patterns, social and regional histories, alongside testimonial discussions with artists, designers, craftspeople and amateurs, the book offers new ways of seeing and new methods of critiquing knitting - without the constraints of disciplinary boundaries - in the hope of creating an environment in which knitting can be valued, recognized and discussed.
