Land is embedded in a multitude of material and cultural contexts,
through which the human experience of landscape emerges.
Ethnographers, with their participative methodologies, long-term
co-residence, and concern with the quotidian aspects of the places
where they work, are well positioned to describe landscapes in this
fullest of senses. The contributors explore how landscapes become
known primarily through movement and journeying rather than stasis.
Working across four continents, they explain how landscapes are
constituted and recollected in the stories people tell of their
journeys through them, and how, in turn, these stories are embedded
in landscaped forms.

Is there a more remarkable process than the creation of human life?
Aided by little more than a bottle of wine, a Barry White tune and
an agreeable mood, a woman and man can create a truly extraordinary
organism. This book is about the wonders of human development. It
poses the questions that make you gasp, snigger and ponder in the
same instance; the questions that you've thrown around over a
coffee with friends, without agreeing on an answer. Dr Andrew
Whitehouse takes on thirteen pregnancy and parenting myths: from
whether tight jocks reduce sperm health, to baby brain for pregnant
mothers; from the imaginary friends children create, to the impact
of violent video games.
