Discover the secret lives of more than 30 extraordinary creatures
that share our cities. From red foxes sneaking rides on London
buses to leopards prowling the backstreets of Mumbai, this book
explores the clever ways animals have adapted to the urban
environment and explains how you can help protect our wild
neighbours. Crammed with buildings, traffic and people, urban
spaces are the last place you'd expect to see wildlife. But all
kinds of animals live alongside us in the hidden corners of our
towns and cities - from teeny ants living under pavement cracks to
pick-pocketing monkeys and spotted hyenas being fed by locals.
Within these pages, you'll travel from city to city, across six
different continents, meeting just some of these amazing animals.
There are tips on where and when you might see them, what signs to
look for and how you can help make our cities more nature-friendly
places. You'll also see the conservation status of each animal,
from those of least concern to species which are endangered. About

It's 1911 and, against her mother's wishes, quiet New Yorker Emma
dreams of winning the right to vote. She is sent away by her
parents in the hope distance will curb her desire to be involved
with the growing suffrage movement and told to spend time learning
about where her grandparents came from. Across the Atlantic -
Queenstown, southern Ireland - hotelier Thomas dreams of being
loved, even noticed, by his actress wife, Alice. On their wedding
day, Alice's father had assured him that adoration comes with time.
It's been eight years. But Alice has plans of her own and they
certainly don't include the fight for equality or her dull husband.
Emma's arrival in Ireland leads her to discover family secrets and
become involved in the Irish Women's Suffrage Society in Cork.
However, Emma's path to suffrage was never meant to lead to a
forbidden love affair...

Includes CD-Rom `A highly practical resource' - Times Educational
Supplement `This approach could be very usefully employed to tackle
the very complex and difficult issue of bullying' - Educational
Psychology in Practice `The how, when, where and what of preparing
for a performance is spelled out in considerable detail. If you do
accept the challenge at the core of the book you will certainly not
want for help' - Junior Education This is the first in a series of
creative and practical resources to link the school assembly with
the Personal, Social, Citizenship and Health Education (PSCHE)
curriculum and the national literacy objectives for children aged
five to 11. Using the theme of bullying, this scheme of work starts
with a lively and dramatic student performance by older pupils in
the primary school, including every member of the class. Full
scripts, music and dance scores are provided. The bullying scenes
involve the audience by focusing on the role of the bystanders.
Comprehensive teacher notes, activities and resources are also
included for follow-up work with each year group. This
comprehensive pack, produced by two experienced teachers, is useful
for anyone running an anti-bullying initiative in their primary
school. Bridget Smith has worked for many years as a specialist in
deafness within the health service, as part of a Cambridge
University research group, and in the voluntary sector. She has
taught as a general practitioner in primary and middle schools with
specific responsibilities for music and IT. As well as having
tutored children who are excluded from school she is regularly
involved in coaching music and sport and in the development of
local facilities for youth. Kate Baker has created and developed
effective assemblies with children over many years, as class
teacher, literacy and drama co-ordinator and Deputy Head. She has
also devised and directed productions in schools, at children's
drama and music courses and for the theatre. Kate still teaches in
primary and middle schools and is currently developing more ideas
and materials to enrich the curriculum for Key Stages 1 to 3.
The enclosed garden, or hortus conclusus, is a place where
architecture and landscape come together. It has a long and varied
history, ranging from the early paradise garden and cloister, the
botanic garden and giardini segreto, the kitchen garden and as a
stage for social display. The enclosed garden has continued to
develop into its many modern forms: the city retreat, the
redemptive garden, the deconstructed building. As awareness of
climate change becomes increasingly important, the enclosed garden,
which can mediate so effectively between interior and exterior,
provides opportunities for sustainable design and closer contact
with the natural landscape. By its nature it is ambiguous. Is it an
outdoor room, or captured landscape; is it architecture or garden?
Kate Baker discusses the continuing relevance of the typology of
the enclosed garden to contemporary architects by exploring
influential historical examples and the concepts they generate,
alongside some of the best of contemporary designs - brought to
life with vivid photography and detailed drawings - taken primarily
from Britain, the Mediterranean, Japan and North and South America.
She argues that understanding the potential of the enclosed garden
requires us to think of it as both a design and an experience.
Captured Landscape provides a broad range of information and design
possibilities for students of architectural and landscape design,
practising architects, landscape designers and horticulturalists
and will also appeal to a wider audience of all those who are
interested in garden design. This second edition of Captured
Landscape is enriched with new case studies throughout the book.
The scope has now been broadened to include an entirely new chapter
concerning the urban condition, with detailed discussions on issues
of ecology, sustainability, economy of means, well-being and the
social pressures of contemporary city life.
