As Halsey stared into the distance, movement caught his eye. He looked to his left, and saw a moving carpet of alien grass climbing up the slope beside him. More was coming up on his right.

He sighed. I hate this planet, he thought.
When the grass got in the way of his gun, he swept at it, angrily.
The grass swept back.

. Where the deer and the antelope play. Not on Freehome. More like the dreaded giant mosquito-like things known as "needle-nose" and the infamous "walking grass" that sneaks up and surrounds its victims.

Not only do the Rurals have Mother Nature to worry about on Freehome, they also have the city people to contend with. The Latecomers want to do away with the Rurals' way of life. At any cost.

But the Rurals have faith .

This book emphasizes that entrepreneurship is a social activity that takes place within and among organizational systems rather than as an individual activity. To provide a comprehensive view of entrepreneurship as an organizational phenomenon, new theory building and empirical chapters are supplemented by previously published work updated to reflect current developments.

Recognizing the variety of health experiences across geographical borders, Health and Healing in the Early Modern Iberian World interrogates the concepts of "health" and "healing" between 1500 and 1800. Through an interdisciplinary approach to medical history, gender history, and the literature and culture of the early modern Atlantic World, this collection of essays points to the ways in which the practice of medicine, the delivery of healthcare, and the experiences of disease and health are gendered. The contributors explore how the medical profession sought to exert its power over patients, determining standards that impacted conceptions of self and body, and at the same time, how this influence was mediated. Using a range of sources, the essays reveal the multiple and sometimes contradictory ways that early modern health discourse intersected with gender and sexuality, as well as its ties to interconnected ethical, racial, and class-driven concerns. Health and Healing in the Early Modern Iberian World breaks new ground through its systematic focus on gender and sexuality as they relate to the delivery of healthcare, the practice of medicine, and the experiences of health and healing across early modern Spain and colonial Latin America.

Anamorphosis in Early Modern Literature explores the prevalence of anamorphic perspective in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in England. Jen Boyle investigates how anamorphic media flourished in early modern England as an interactive technology and mode of affect in public interactive art, city and garden design, and as a theory and figure in literature, political theory and natural and experimental philosophy. Anamorphic mediation, Boyle brings to light, provided Milton, Margaret Cavendish, and Daniel Defoe, among others, with a powerful techno-imaginary for traversing through projective, virtual experience. Drawing on extensive archival research related to the genre of "practical perspective" in early modern Europe, Boyle offers a scholarly consideration of anamorphic perspective (its technical means, performances, and embodied practices) as an interactive aesthetics and cultural imaginary. Ultimately, Boyle demonstrates how perspective media inflected a diverse set of knowledges and performances related to embodiment, affect, and collective consciousness.

In the first in-depth study of the interconnected relationships among public theatre, custodial institutions, and women in early modern Spain, Margaret E. Boyle explores the contradictory practices of rehabilitation enacted by women both on and off stage. Pairing historical narratives and archival records with canonical and non-canonical theatrical representations of women's deviance and rehabilitation, Unruly Women argues that women's performances of penitence and punishment should be considered a significant factor in early modern Spanish life. Boyle considers both real-life sites of rehabilitation for women in seventeenth-century Madrid, including a jail and a magdalen house, and women onstage, where she identifies three distinct representations of female deviance: the widow, the vixen, and the murderess. Unruly Women explores these archetypal figures in order to demonstrate the ways a variety of playwrights comment on women's non-normative relationships to the topics of marriage, sex, and violence.

The essays in this volume were presented originally in September 1993 at a colloquium sponsored by the Oxford University Law Faculty and the Norton Rose M5 Group of Solicitors. Written by practising and academic lawyers, and addressing some of the most fundamental problems facing industrialists and environmentalists throughout the world, these essays review and analyse various countries' attempts to blend environmental protection with continued economic development. How does the recently-concluded GATT Agreement influence international developments in environmental regulation? Is deregulation an answer? Will the polluter always have to pay, and how are the costs to be equitably distributed throughout society? These are some of the fundamental questions asked and discussed in this collection of penetrating and illuminating essays.

This is the new paperback edition of the successful and well received hardback. The essays in this collection explore the links between the environment and human rights, and respond to the growing debate among activists, lawyers, academics and policy-makers on the legal status of environmental rights in both international and domestic law. The collection is an original and timely contribution to the existing literature on this subject, and offers a sustained analysis which addresses both the conceptual and practical problems of environmental rights.

A compilation of columns ("A Year in the Life of Shakespeare") originally written by the author for the newsletter Shakespeare Matters from 2001-2005. Written from the Oxfordian point of view (i.e., that Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, was the true Shakespeare), each column concentrated on just one year and discussed the known events in the author's life in conjunction with the recorded history and literature of that year, and the ways in which the plays and poems in the Shakespeare canon may reflect and/or comment on these connections.
