Christina Rossetti's Environmental Consciousness takes a cognitive
ecocritical approach to Rossetti's writing as it developed
throughout her career. This study provides a unique understanding
of Rossetti's identity as an artist through a cognitive model while
also engaging significantly with her spiritual relationship to the
nonhuman world. Rossetti was a deliberate and conscious creator who
used her writing for therapeutic purposes to create, contemplate,
maintain, verify, and, revise her identity. Her understanding of
her autobiographical self and her place in the world often comes
through observations and poetic treatments of the nonhuman.
Rossetti, her speakers, and her characters seek spiritual knowledge
in the natural world and share this knowledge with an audience. In
nature, Rossetti finds evidence for and guidance from a loving God
who offers salvation. Her work places a high value on nature from a
Christian perspective that puts conservation over renunciation. She
frequently uses strategies that have now been identified by
Christian environmentalist such as retrieval, ecojustice,
stewardship, and ecological spirituality. With new readings of
popular works like "Goblin Market" and "A Birthday," along with
treatments of largely neglected works like Verses (1847) and
Rossetti's devotional writings, Christina Rossetti's Environmental
Consciousness offers an understanding of Rossetti's processes and
purposes as a writer and displays new potential for her work in the
face of twenty-first-century environmental issues.

"This book translates three of Stora's published works into one
concise, scholarly, and welcome survey.... Accessible to the
nonspecialist.... Highly recommended for all levels." —Choice
Foreword by William B. Quandt A particularly vicious and bloody
civil war has racked Algeria for a decade. Amnesty International
notes that since 1992, in a population of 28 million, 80,000 people
have been reported killed, and the actual total is almost certainly
higher. This terrible war overshadows Algeria's long and complex
history and its prominence on the world economic stage—second in
size among African nations, Algeria has the longest Mediterranean
coastline and contains the world's fifth-largest natural gas
reserves. Algeria, 1830-2000 is a comprehensive narrative history
of the country. Benjamin Stora, widely recognized as the leading
expert on Algeria, presents the story of this turbulent area from
the start of formal French colonialism in the early nineteenth
century, through the prolonged war for independence in the latter
1950s, to the internal strife of the present day. This book adapts
and updates three short volumes published originally in French by
La Découverte. For this English edition, Stora has written a new
introductory chapter on Algeria's colonial period (1830-1954) and
has revised the final section to bring the volume up to date.
