Stanisic Associates have designed and constructed an array of
apartment blocks throughout Sydney's inner-city that have provided
a new way to live and to work in a totally urbanized environment.
Many of these apartments have been built on the 'brownfield' sites
of the redundant industrial land south of the city centre. The
architecture has evolved - through an exploration of planning,
material usage, spatial organization and the maximization of
sunlight - into a climatically-responsive and appropriate
modernism: an architecture that can be described as
'Eco-Minimalism.' STANISIC LIVE/WORK documents this approach to
architecture and regenerative planning, and features all the
practice's most significant projects, as well as selected un-built
schemes that explored key ideas and strategies. All projects have
been photographed by Patrick Bingham-Hall, and the book is
illustrated with conceptual and schematic renderings, as well as
formal drawings.

The essays here engage with the ways in which the Anglo-Saxons and
their literature have been received, confronted, and re-envisioned
in the modern imagination. An excellent collection... breaks new
ground in many areas. Should make a substantial impact on the
discussion of the contemporary influence of Anglo-Saxon Culture.
Conor McCarthy, author of Seamus Heaney and the Medieval
Imagination Britain's pre-Conquest past and its culture continues
to fascinate modern writers and artists. From Henry Sweet's
Anglo-Saxon Reader to Seamus Heaney's Beowulf, and from high
modernism to themusclebound heroes of comic book and Hollywood,
Anglo-Saxon England has been a powerful and often unexpected source
of inspiration, antagonism, and reflection. The essays here engage
with the ways in which the Anglo-Saxons and their literature have
been received, confronted, and re-envisioned in the modern
imagination. They offer fresh insights on established figures, such
as W.H. Auden, J.R.R. Tolkien, and David Jones, and on contemporary
writers such asGeoffrey Hill, Peter Reading, P.D. James, and
Heaney. They explore the interaction between text, image and
landscape in medieval and modern books, the recasting of mythic
figures such as Wayland Smith, and the metamorphosis of Beowulf
into Grendel - as a novel and as grand opera. The early medieval
emerges not simply as a site of nostalgia or anxiety in modern
revisions, but instead provides a vital arena for creativity,
pleasure, and artistic experiment. Contributors: Bernard

The understanding of pig genetics and genomics has advanced
significantly in recent years, creating fresh insights into
biological processes. This comprehensive reference work discusses
pig genetics and its integration with livestock management and
production technology to improve performance. Fully updated
throughout to reflect advances in the subject, this new edition
also includes new information on genetic aspects of domestication,
colour variation, genomics and pig breeds, with contributions from
international experts active in the field.
Politicians across the world are reaching for words that seek to
accuse, to isolate and to frighten. And fear isn't subtle. There
has been a collective intake of breath in response to a narrative
of intolerance. There can be no grey areas. Except that human
existence is all about the grey areas - and it is those that this
anthology of short stories explores - providing a space for stories
to be told and voices to be heard. Some stories are based on true
experiences, or speculative fiction and political parables to
reflect on our present day problems. And what will future
historians make of our troubled times? Hopefully, this anthology
will help to put the record straight. Some of the selected short
stories were previously published in: Refugees and Peacekeepers; My
Europe and Tempest. Contributors to Rebel Alliance include Penny
Simpson, Petra McQueen, Naomi Hamill and Emma Bamford. Key words:
politics, refugees, Europe, EU, Brexit, US relations, climate
