Transforming Education for Sustainability
This book investigates how educators and researchers in the sciences, social sciences, and the arts, connect concepts of sustainability to work in their fields of study and in the classrooms where they teach the next generation. Sustainability, with a focus on justice, authenticity and inclusivity, can be integrated into many different courses or disciplines even if it is beyond their historical focus. The narratives describe sustainability education in the classroom, the laboratory, and the field (broadly defined) and how the authors navigate the complexities of particular sustainability issues, such as climate change, water quality, soil health, biodiversity, resource use, and education in...
The Real Mrs Beeton
Eliza Acton is the forgotten hero of our culinary past. A debt of gratitude to her is what Delia Smith, Elizabeth David and Mrs Beeton have in common. She was the original and best: the first cook to write recipes in a clear, modern format, one of the few Victorian ladies whose legacy has lasted well into the twenty-first century and whose recipes are still used in thousands of kitchens today. In this absorbing first biography, Sheila Hardy creates a richly painted narrative of how a young woman produced the first cookery book for general use and changed history. She provides a rich background to Eliza's success, not only as the little-known mother of modern cookery, but as a poet and a campaigner for healthy eating. She introduced us to curry, chorizo and gluten-free diets 150 years before they became fashionable. She knew Charles Dickens, and her family life was possibly an inspiration for several of his plots. She had a fascinating career, and this brilliantly researched biography is a must for anyone interested in food and cookery, or simply as an insight into the life of a modern lady who was years ahead of her time.
Yorkshire Bred
As we age our outlook on life changes. Throughout our carefree youth and busy adult years, working, producing, and rearing future generations, our focus is on just that, the here and now. We don't think that our parents are watching and enjoying for the second time what we are seeing as a whole new life experience.Now that my youth and working years are done and the whole new life experience of retirement is unfolding before me I have time to reflect. A few years ago I enjoyed writing the memoirs of my early working life in "Bricks and Mortar" and now I have taken to writing some of the precious memories of my youth. I hope that my jottings of a time in my formative years might also awaken your own memories of a similar era in your own life and if so then that is my gift to you. A time without responsibility or care, when life was all before us, and tomorrow was a world away. We lived for the here and now; days were long and weeks longer.I hope you enjoy my words as much as I have enjoyed writing them.

The Life and Times of Gilbert and Sullivan
What is probably the most famous pairing in musical history began without fanfare in 1871 when writer William S. Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan teamed up to produce a Christmas entertainment called Thespis. The two men parted ways soon afterward and it took a theatrical promoter named Richard D'Oyly Carter to reunite them four years later. Their first big hit came in 1878 with their operetta H.M.S. Pinafore. It reached the United States the following year and created the same excitement that we associate with a major rock concert or blockbuster movie. Despite some disagreements, the two men produced 11 other operettas before going their separate ways. Today Gilbert and Sullivan societies exist all over the world. Audiences still enjoy their combination of clever, humorous lyrics and tuneful melodies.
