Flint's sensuous, groundedand well-crafted darts into those 'spots
of time' that reverberate again and again for the reader, rendered
as they are in engaging, compelling and memorable detail.
'Exquisite' - Will Dean, author of Dark Pines 'This is a book that
will stay with you' - Ann Cleeves, bestselling author of the Vera
series 'Compelling, twisty and wonderfully suspenseful' - Claire
Fuller, author of Unsettled Ground In a lonely cottage on a
deserted stretch of shore, a moment of tragedy between lovers
becomes a horrific murder. And two women who should never have met
are connected for ever . . . Six years after the end of the Great
War, a nation is still in mourning. Thousands of husbands, fathers,
sons and sweethearts were lost in Europe; millions more came back
wounded and permanently damaged. Beatrice Cade is an orphan,
unmarried and childless - and given the dearth of men, likely to
remain that way. London is full of women like her: not wives, not
widows, not mothers. There is no name for these invisible women,
and no place for their grief. Determined to carve out a richer and
more fulfilling way to live as a single woman, Bea takes a room in
a Bloomsbury ladies' club and a job in the City. Then a fleeting
encounter changes everything. Bea's emerging independence is
destroyed when she falls in love for the first time. Kate Ryan is
an ordinary wife and mother who has managed to build an enviable
life with her handsome husband and her daughter. To anyone looking
in from the outside, they seem like a normal, happy family - until
two policemen knock on her door one morning and threaten to destroy
the facade Kate has created. From the author of Little Deaths,
longlisted for the Bailey's Women's Prize for Fiction, comes the
sensational Other Women. Mesmerising, haunting and utterly
remarkable, this is a devastating story of fantasy, obsession
inspired by a murder that took place almost a hundred years ago.
This book illustrates the diversity of current geographies,
ontologies, engagements, and epistemologies of peace and conflict.
It emphasizes how agencies of peace and conflict occur in
geographic settings, and how those settings shape processes of
peace and conflict. The essence of the book’s logic is that war
and peace are manifestations of the intertwined construction of
geographies and politics. Indeed, peace is never completely
distinct from war. Each chapter in the book will demonstrate
understandings of how the myriad spaces of war and peace are forged
by multiple agencies, some possibly contradictory. The goals of
these agents vary as peace and war are relational, place-specific
processes. The reader will understand the mutual construction of
spaces and processes of peace and conflict through engagement with
the concepts of agency, the mutual construction of politics and
space, geographic scales, multiple geographies, the twin dynamics
of empathy/othering and inclusivity/partitioning, and
resistance/militarism. The book discusses the intertwined nature of
peace and conflict, including reference to the environment, global
climate change, borders, technology, and post-colonialism. This
book is valuable for instructors teaching a variety of senior level
human geography courses, including graduate level classes. It will
appeal to those in working in political geography, historical
geography, sociology of geographic knowledge, feminist geography,
cultural and economic geography, political science and
international relations.

In all six of its volumes The Broadview Anthology of British
Literature presents British literature in a truly distinctive
light. Fully grounded in sound literary and historical scholarship,
the anthology takes a fresh approach to many canonical authors, and
includes a wide selection of work by lesser-known writers. The
anthology also provides wide-ranging coverage of the worldwide
connections of British literature, and it pays attention throughout
to issues of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation. It
includes comprehensive introductions to each period, providing in
each case an overview of the historical and cultural as well as the
literary background. It features accessible and engaging headnotes
for all authors, extensive explanatory annotations, and an
unparalleled number of illustrations and contextual materials.
Innovative, authoritative and comprehensive, The Broadview
Anthology of British Literature has established itself as a leader
in the field.The full anthology comprises six bound volumes,
together with an extensive website component; the latter has been
edited, annotated, and designed according to the same high
standards as the bound book component of the anthology, and is
accessible by using the passcode obtained with the purchase of one
or more of the bound volumes. In the revised third edition of this
volume, the term 'Anglo-Saxon' has been removed from our editorial
apparatus - a change made in response to recent scholarly work that
has drawn attention to the term's historical and current usage by
white supremacists. We have also taken the opportunity to implement
a small number of additional improvements. We have also taken the

the pagination, however, remains the same.
In August 2004, South Africa officially sought to legally recognize
the practice of traditional healers. Largely in response to the
HIV/AIDS pandemic, and limited both by the number of practitioners
and by patients' access to treatment, biomedical practitioners
looked toward the country's traditional healers as important agents
in the development of medical education and treatment. This
collaboration has not been easy. The two medical cultures embrace
different ideas about the body and the origin of illness, but they
do share a history of commercial and ideological competition and
different relations to state power. Healing Traditions: African
Medicine, Cultural Exchange, and Competition in South Africa,
1820-1948 provides a long-overdue historical perspective to these
interactions and an understanding that is vital for the development
of medical strategies to effectively deal with South Africa's
healthcare challenges. Between 1820 and 1948, traditional healers
in Natal, South Africa, transformed themselves from politically
powerful men and women who challenged colonial rule and law into
successful entrepreneurs who competed for turf and patients with
white biomedical doctors and pharmacists. Carefully crafted, well
written, and powerfully argued, Flint's analysis of the ways that
indigenous medical knowledge and therapeutic practices were forged,
contested, and transformed over two centuries is highly
illuminating, as is her demonstration that many "traditional"
practices changed over time. Her discussion of African and Indian
medical encounters opens up a whole new way of thinking about the
social basis of health and healing in South Africa.
