Animated adventure sequel featuring the voice talents of Jesse
Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, Jamie Foxx and Andy Garcia. Following
their romantic escapades in the first film, Blu (voice of
Eisenberg) and Jewel (Hathaway) are now happily married macaws with
three children. Adventure lies in wait for the fledgling family
when they leave Rio de Janeiro for the wilds of the Amazon to visit
relatives. Not only does Jewel's estranged father Eduardo (Garcia)
intimidate Blu - who is already out of his comfort zone so far from
the city - but Nigel (Jermaine Clement), his nemesis, returns with
his heart set on revenge. To complicate matters further, Blu and
Jewel learn that the fragile habitat of the Amazon faces a grave
threat. Can the couple save the environment that nourishes the
creatures they visit and cope with the many challenges thrown their
way?

A stunningly illustrated book of extraordinary city maps, telling
the story of human civilisation throughout history. A gorgeous,
large-format gift hardback with a stunning neon cover, A History of
the World in 25 Cities features 25 beautifully illustrated city
maps from all over the world, from ancient history to the present
day. Co-authored by award-winning children's authors Tracey Turner
and Andrew Donkin in consultation with specialist curators at the
British Museum, readers can visit cities from every inhabited
continent on Earth, from the walled city of Jericho built over
10,000 years ago, to the modern-day metropolis of Tokyo, the
most-densely populated city in the world today. Featuring vibrant,
beautifully detailed artwork from Libby VanderPloeg, each carefully
researched map takes readers on a city tour at a unique moment in
time - from exploring Athens in ancient Greece during the birth of
democracy, to walking the beautiful lamplit streets of medieval
Benin, deep in the West African rainforest. Readers can even visit
China's long-lost capital city of Xianyang - a city for which no
original map exists, which was brought to life with support from
the British Museum's fantastic team of experts. Each map is
followed by two gorgeously illustrated pages of fascinating
information about what life was (or is) like for the inhabitants of
each city, including a bite-sized look at each city in numbers.
Packed with countless facts for curious readers to return to again
and again, this is a perfect gift for children who want to explore
history from around the world. Cities featured include Jericho,
Memphis, Athens, Xianyang, Rome, Constantinople, Baghdad, Jorvik,
Benin City, Tenochtitlan, Granada, Beijing, Venice, Delhi, Cuzco,
Amsterdam, Sydney, Paris, London, Bangkok, Saint Petersburg, New
York City, Berlin, San Francisco and Tokyo, plus an exploration of
Cities of Today and Cities of Tomorrow.
This is a powerful, hopeful and timely story about the real effects
of climate change: two young people on different continents whose
lives are catastrophically changed by global warming. A graphic
novel with glorious colour artwork throughout for children of all
ages - from Eoin Colfer, previously Irish Children's Laureate, and
the team behind Illegal, and his bestselling Artemis Fowl graphic
novels. Yuki lives in an increasingly deserted Inuit township in
Nova Scotia. One day she sets out into the wilderness of the Arctic
tundra planning to photograph a rare grolar bear (a terrifying
grizzly-polar crossbreed created by climate change) - if she can
prove it's a grolar, she can protect it from being shot. With only
her faithful dog for company and adrift on a fragment of melting
glacier, she finds herself being stalked across the changing
wilderness by a starving grolar bear, with only her wits and her
harpoon to keep her alive. Sami lives in a fishing village on the
Bay of Bengal. But because of the ever-rising ocean level, each day
is a struggle to survive. One night, Sami sets out to return to his
old, submerged family home, alone. He takes a deep breath and dives
beneath the moonlit waters, hoping to find his past. But a cyclone
is coming ... Illustrated by the talented Giovanni Rigano, this
moving and important graphic novel will have breathtaking
full-colour illustrations throughout.
Changing attitudes, living patterns and technologies are
transforming our relationship with work in such fundamental ways
that tomorrow's workplace will be barely recognizable to that of
our parents. To help us make sense of these changes Richard Donkin
has examined the forces and themes that are influencing what
amounts to a silent revolution in social behavior. Donkin argues
that this change is creating a watershed in working lives as
significant as that of the factory system that heralded the
Industrial Revolution. Unless we understand these forces, he warns,
policies may be poorly fitted to meet the challenges ahead posed by
environmental change and shrinking oil reserves.
In this timely book, Donkin presents a cohesive argument for policy
reform, not only in employment, but also in outdated economic
assumptions that are no longer meeting the needs of a
resource-hungry world.

Getting Into the Act is a vigorous and refreshing account of seven female playwrights who, against all odds, enjoyed professional success in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Ellen Donkin relates fascinating, disturbing tales about the male theatre managers to whom they were indebted, and the trials and prejudices they endured, ranging from accusations of plagiarism to sexual harassment. This scarred and turbulent early history still resonates in the late twentieth-century: women still occupy only a marginal proportion of the playwriting profession. A female playwright may no longer be a contradiction in terms or an offence to feminine modesty, but she is still battling with a hazardous occupation for a woman. Getting Into the Act is entertaining and informative reading for anyone, from scholar to general reader, who is interested in the history and gender politics of the stage.
Getting Into the Act is a vigorous and refreshing account of seven
female playwrights who, against all odds, enjoyed professional
success in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Ellen
Donkin relates fascinating, disturbing tales about the male theatre
managers to whom they were indebted, and the trials and prejudices
they endured, ranging from accusations of plagiarism to sexual
harassment. This scarred turbulent early history still resonates in
the late twentieth-century. The current ratio of female to male
playwrights is virtually unchanged. Old patterns of male control
persist, and playwriting continues to be a hazardous occupation for
women. But within these scarred earlier histories there are equally
powerful narratives of self-revelation, endurance, and professional
triumph that may point to a new way forward. Getting Into the Act
is entertaining and informative reading for anyone, from scholar to
general reader, who is interested in the history and gender
politics of the stage.
