Reading life writing that runs from Tracey Emin, Faith Ringgold and
Judy Chicago to Marie Bashkirtseff, Benvenuto Cellini and beyond,
Artists and Their Autobiographies from Today to the Renaissance and
Back investigates the intriguing doubled truths of artists'
autobiographies: truth in life and truth in art; authorial truth/s
and the truth of their art as they saw it. However, this book
focuses specifically on the truth of sincerity, which
here-following classic discussions by Reindert Dhondt, Philippe
Lejeune and Lionel Trilling-appears as a truth to self that floats
free from facts to link avowal and feeling. From there, this volume
merges autobiography studies with a history of ideas approach to
art to trace sincerity's constancy and variability across times and
cultures. Through this pre-disciplinary dialogue, this book shows
that recent and historical artists' autobiographies differ in how,
not if, they intertwine sincerity in life and art. Along the way,
this volume leverages the foregrounding of sincerity caused by this
doubling to explore such key issues of autobiography studies as
autobiography's relation to fiction, serial autobiography,
"as-told-to" narrative and what happens when liars claim to tell
all.
This book puts the spotlight on Southern Africa, presenting a
cutting-edge concept never previously explored in the context of
climate change and putting forward arguments for regional
integration and cooperation. The Climate Resilient Infrastructure
Development Facility (CRIDF) is the new water infrastructure
program of the UK Department for International Development (DFID)
for Southern Africa. The CRIDF promotes the establishment of small
to medium-scale infrastructure across the Southern African
Development Community (SADC) through technical assistance aimed at
developing sustainable pro-poor projects, while also facilitating
access to the financial resources needed to deliver said
infrastructure. Further, it focuses on regional water resource
management goals and basin plans, as well as on building climate
resilience for the beneficiary communities. The Facility's Virtual
Water and Nexus Project works to improve regional peace dividends
by translating the Nexus concept into national and regional
policies; it ultimately promotes sovereign security through greater
regional integration across the water, food and energy sectors,
while taking into account potential benefits in connection with
carbon sequestration and emission mitigation.

This edited collection examines conflicting assumptions,
expectations, and perceptions of maternity in artistic, cultural,
and institutional contexts. Over the past two decades, the maternal
body has gained currency in popular culture and the contemporary
art world, with many books and exhibitions foregrounding artists'
experiences and art historical explorations of maternity that
previously were marginalized or dismissed. In too many instances,
however, the maternal potential of female bodies-whether realized
or not-still causes them to be stigmatized, censored, or otherwise
treated as inappropriate: cultural expectations of maternity create
one set of prejudices against women whose bodies or experiences do
align with those same expectations, and another set of prejudices
against those who do not. Support for mothers in the paid workforce
remains woefully inadequate, yet in many cultural contexts, social
norms continue to ask what is "wrong" with women who do not have
children. In these essays and conversations, artists and writers
discuss how maternal expectations shape creative work and designed
environments, and highlight alternative ways of existing in
relation to those expectations.

Provost Marshal and help the town survive the night.
