An African fantasy-adventure graphic novel inspired by the mythology of the Zambezi River and the history of the Kariba Dam, one of the largest dams ever constructed.
Siku has always called the Zambezi River her home. She understands the water – and strangely enough, it seems to understand her, too, bending to her will and coming to her aid in times of need. But things are changing on the river – a great dam is being built, displacing thousands of Shonga people – and things are changing in Siku, too, as her ability to manipulate water grows out of control, and visions of a great serpent pull her further from reality and her loving father, Tongai.
When Tongai ventures to the Kariba Dam to find a cure for Siku and never returns, she sets off to find him with the help of Amedeo, the young son of Kariba’s chief engineer. Together, they traverse elephant graveyards, rugged jungles, and ancient ruins, outrunning pirates, bootleggers, and shape-shifting prophets ready to use Siku to their own advantage. But she soon discovers that her father has been shielding a terrible secret: Siku is actually the daughter of Nyaminyami, the Great River Spirit, and the only way to bring about the necessary rumuko – a ritual which has brought balance to the Zambezi for centuries – is for Siku to give up the only life she’s ever known.
With the future of the Shonga resting on her shoulders, Siku must journey to the source of the river to understand the ancient power hidden within her.

The Politics of Early Modern Women's Writing provides an
introduction to the ever-expanding field of early modern women's
writing by reading texts in their historical and social contexts.
Covering a wide range of forms and genres, the author shows that
rather than women conforming to the conventional 'chaste, silent
and obedient' model, or merely working from the 'margins' of
Renaissance culture, they in fact engaged centrally with many of
the major ideas and controversies of their time. The book discusses
many previously neglected texts and authors, as well as more
familiar figures such as Mary Sidney, Countess of Pembroke,
Isabella Whitney and Lady Mary Wroth, and draws attention to the
importance of genre and forms of circulation in the production of
meaning. The Politics of Early Modern Women will be of interest
both to those encountering this material for the first time, and to
students and scholars working in the fields of women's writing,
gender studies, history and literature.
The Politics of Early Modern Women's Writing challenges the conventional view of Renaissance women as marginal to the cultural reproduction of the time. Danielle Clarke examines the texts of women in the Renaissance period in relation to their social and historical contexts, while at the same time examining how women's experiences shaped their work .She discusses some of the more familiar, as well as lesser known, figures of their time, including, Mary Sidney, Countess of Penbroke, Isabella Whitney, Lady Mary Wroth, Anne Lok, Aemilia Lanyer Lady Anne Southwell, Elizabeth Cary, Martha Moulsworth, Elizabeth Colville, Diana Primrose and Anne Cooke Bacon.
Decades of stagnating demand for beer and the emergence of global
brewing conglomerates had seen many of Britain's longstanding
breweries disappear and a decline in the diversity of beer styles
on offer. However, following similar developments in the USA and
Australia, the emergence of new craft breweries in the UK,
producing small batch beers in an ever-increasing range of styles
has re-vitalised the industry. Supporting employment both within
brewing and hospitality while contributing to the cultural and
economic fabric of society, the emergence of this craft beer
revolution deserves greater scholarly attention than it has
received to date. Researching Craft Beer enhances theoretical and
practical understandings of craft beer both within the UK and
beyond. This edited collection is interdisciplinary in nature and
will appeal to a wide range of scholars, practitioners, and
enthusiasts of craft beer. Chapters authored from a range of
business, sociology and law perspectives examine the production,
sale, values, serving and cultural significance of craft beer. The
volume offers insights for aspiring and present owners of
breweries, those looking to open a craft beer bar as well as other
beer researchers the volume offers a prescient assessment of
historic, present, and likely future developments within the
sector.

This book is about the unique, sophisticated, and rigorous study of
mathematics in Latin America developed over centuries of cultural
exchange between Europe, North, and South America. More
specifically, the book explores the tradition of mathematical
modelling, introduced a century ago. This modelling was adapted to
assist members of distinct communities to draw information about
their own realities through the elaboration of representations,
which generate mathematical knowledge that deals with creativity
and invention. The book provides empirical evidence that a category
of mathematical modelling developed in Latin America assesses the
horizontal and reciprocal relations between mathematics
(school/non-school contexts) and the real world. These relations
provide an epistemological and ontological change, where
mathematical knowledge of the others is recognized on a horizontal
plane. Further, they oblige mathematics teachers and students to
understand as a community of knowledge that builds their own
mathematical categories of their environment governed by the
reciprocal relationships between academic knowledge and functional
knowledge. The dimensions of the relationships make up a frame of
reference that guides educational change in mathematics. The book
presents an inquiry-based approach of three Latin American
modelling programs: ethnomodelling, transversality of knowledge,
and reasoned decision-making. Each one, with its respective
theoretical and methodological foundations related to
ethnomathematics and mathematical modelling, socioepistemology, and
the attribution of meaning to learning. Undoubtedly, the three
mathematical modelling programs, independently, provide educational
gains, each with its levels of specificity and loyal to its
philosophical, theoretical, and methodological principles. However,
the book places them together, organized by axes, to define a
corpus of mathematical knowledge that envisions profound
educational change through the development of different approaches
of mathematical modelling. The authors of the 18 chapters in this
book, who represent the diversity of Latin America, are from eight
countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba,
Ecuador, Honduras, and Mexico. They were invited to share their
ideas, perspectives, and discuss investigations that represent a
rich sample of three Latin American perspectives on mathematical
modelling.
Petroleum Geology of Libya, Second Edition, systematically reviews
the exploration history, plate tectonics, structural evolution,
stratigraphy, geochemistry and petroleum systems of Libya, and
includes valuable new chapters on oil and gas fields, production,
and reserves. Since the previous edition, published in 2002, there
have been numerous developments in Libya, including the lifting of
sanctions, a new licensing system, with licensing rounds in 2004,
2005, 2006, and 2007, many new exploratory wells, discoveries and
field developments, and a change of regime. A large amount of new
data has been published on the geology of Libya in the past
fourteen years, but it is widely scattered through the literature.
Much of the older data has been superseded, and several of the key
publications, especially those published in Libya, are difficult to
access. This second edition provides an updated source of reference
which incorporates much new information, particularly on petroleum
systems, reserves, oil and gas fields, play fairways, and remaining
potential. It presents the results of recent research and a
detailed description of Libyan offshore geology. The book includes
an extensive and comprehensive bibliography.
