Underneath that chilled exterior is a potty-mouthed mouser ready to
let rip. Sweary Cats features over 60 fabulous felines itching and
scratching to tell it like it is, either through withering sarcasm
or deeply insulting remarks. Cats may have a reputation for being
passive and chilled, but the phrase ‘cool for cats’ couldn’t
be further from the truth. Cats are some of the angriest animals in
the pet kingdom, they’re just very very good at hiding it. For
the first time Sweary Cats reveals the true emotions bubbling under
the surface in cats’ anxious lives, whether it’s the failure to
receive a variety of moist pouches, getting dressed up in costumes
for their owner’s Christmas cards, or being taken to the vets –
again. Over 60 different cats reveal their frank thoughts on a
variety of topics from fine dining to The Sound of Music –
there’s no holding back when the claws are out. All kinds of
domestic scenes are covered; cats in the bedroom, cats in the
kitchen, cats in trees, cats in pipelines, cats leading orchestras
and the inevitable cat sticking its nose in the litter tray. The
pictures may be cute in their own right, but commentary from Andrew
Davies adds a hilarious dimension to these fractious felines.

Identifying the origins of innovation and project management, this
unique Handbook explains why and how the two fields have grown and
developed as separate disciplines, highlighting how and why they
are now converging. It explores the theoretical and practical
connections between the management of innovation and projects,
examining the close relationship between the disciplines. Chapters
introduce new research examining how organisations manage
innovative projects to compete in global markets and tackle some of
the immense economic, social and environmental challenges facing
societies in the 21st century. Leading scholars in the field
examine the management of innovative projects in various forms and
across diverse contexts, including R&D, new product
development, agile, collaboration, trust and ambidexterity. The
Handbook outlines efforts to cross-fertilise ideas from innovation
and project management, share and create new concepts, and borrow
theories from other disciplines to assist empirical research and
develop a more integrated research agenda, offering practical
guidance on how to manage innovative projects in real-world
settings. Comprehensive and invaluable, this Handbook is a critical
read for innovation management and project management scholars and
students. Practitioners in both fields interested in developing
their professional skills and acquiring thought leadership in a
converging field will also benefit greatly from reading this.

Invisible as the seas and oceans may be for so many of us, life as
we know it is almost always connected to, and constituted by,
activities and occurrences that take place in, on and under our
oceans. The Routledge Handbook of Ocean Space provides a first port
of call for scholars engaging in the 'oceanic turn' in the social
sciences, offering a comprehensive summary of existing trends in
making sense of our water worlds, alongside new, agenda-setting
insights into the relationships between society and the 'seas
around us'. Accordingly, this ambitious text not only attends to a
growing interest in our oceans, past and present; it is also
situated in a broader spatial turn across the social sciences that
seeks to account for how space and place are imbricated in
socio-cultural and political life. Through six clearly structured
and wide-ranging sections, The Routledge Handbook of Ocean Space
examines and interrogates how the oceans are environmental,
historical, social, cultural, political, legal and economic spaces,
and also zones where national and international security comes into
question. With a foreword and introduction authored by some of the
leading scholars researching and writing about ocean spaces,
alongside 31 further, carefully crafted chapters from established
as well as early career academics, this book provides both an
accessible guide to the subject and a cutting-edge collection of
critical ideas and questions shaping the social sciences today.
This handbook brings together the key debates defining the 'field'
in one volume, appealing to a wide, cross-disciplinary social
science and humanities audience. Moreover, drawing on a range of
international examples, from a global collective of authors, this
book promises to be the benchmark publication for those interested
in ocean spaces, past and present. Indeed, as the seas and oceans
continue to capture world-wide attention, and the social sciences
continue their seaward 'turn', The Routledge Handbook of Ocean
Space will provide an invaluable resource that reveals how our
world is a water world.
From the squares of Spain to indigenous land in Canada, protest
camps are a tactic used around the world. Since 2011 they have
gained prominence in recent waves of contentious politics, deployed
by movements with wide-ranging demands for social change. Through a
series of international and interdisciplinary case studies from
five continents, this topical collection is the first to focus on
protest camps as unique organisational forms that transcend
particular social movements' contexts. Whether erected in a park in
Istanbul or a street in Mexico City, the significance of political
encampments rests in their position as distinctive spaces where
people come together to imagine alternative worlds and articulate
contentious politics, often in confrontation with the state.
Written by a wide range of experts in the field the book offers a
critical understanding of current protest events and will help
better understanding of new global forms of democracy in action.

In Giving Voice to My Music, David Wordsworth's engrossing
interviews take us into the world of twenty-four leading composers
of choral music, composers for whom writing for choirs is central
to their very existence. Here, they give voice to their
inspirations, their passions and the challenges they have faced in
working through the pandemic of 2020/21. They reveal how their life
experiences have influenced their compositions, how they choose and
relate to the texts they set, and how they interact with
commissioners, singers and conductors alike. Enhanced by an
extensive reference section and a revelatory list of the composers'
own favourite pieces, readers will discover music that has enriched
these composers' lives and encouraged their creativity. Giving
Voice to my Music will be relished by singers, composers,
conductors and above all audiences, for the new insights it offers
into works that are already well-known but also for its
introductions to new choral music that deserves to be better known.

Rose is an English elementary school teacher who is dissatisfied
with her life, both at home and at work. At the school, she must
contend with silly narrow-mindedness and at home, she must contend
with a husband who appears bored both with marriage and with her.
Eventually, Rose has a fling with a free-spirited fellow teacher
and decides to divorce her husband. In a highly charged scene of
great emotional depth, he forces her to confront the consequences
of her ennui; and to wonder if, just maybe, some of her
disenchantment with life is her own fault.5 women, 3 men
Mr and Mrs Hudd are celebrating their wedding anniversary at Elaine
and Bob's house. Friends and family are invited along to share the
caviar and to toast this odd-ball couple with champagne. However a
creaking floorboard, a leaking pipe and the odd behaviour of the
party members makes the day most memorable - for all the wrong
reasons.-3 women, 3 men
In this, the first sociology book to consider the important issue
of how children identify with place and nation, the authors use
original research and international case studies to explore this
topic in depth. The book is rooted in original qualitative research
the authors conducted with a diverse sample of children (aged eight
to eleven) across Wales, but this data is also located in the
context of existing international research on place identity. The
book features analysis of lively exchanges between children on
their local, national and global identities, politics, language and
race. It engages with important social and political questions such
as whether cultural distinctiveness can be preserved in a context
of globalization, whether we are destined to passively receive
dominant representations of the nation or can creatively construct
our own versions; and whether national identities are necessarily
exclusive. Most importantly, the book focuses on what local and
national identities mean to children in an era of cultural and
economic globalization. Including material on racialization,
language, politics, class and gender, Children, Place and Identity
will be a valuable resource to students and researchers of
childhood studies and the sociology of childhood.
