delicate digestive system and the most discriminating palate.
Best known for her Gothic language handbooks (reissued recently as
The New Well-Tempered Sentence and The Deluxe Transitive Vampire),
Karen Elizabeth Gordon here turns her extraordinary talents to
fiction, and the result is as unconventional as her seductive
grammar dramas. The Red Shoes consists of tatters of a half-dozen
tales ("The Glass Shoe," "The Gingerbread Variations," "The Little
Match Girl," "Don Juan Is a Woman," and the title story, among
others) sewn together into a novel by two seamstresses. "Fabric,
fabrication-such is the stuff of these lost chronicles come
together here," Gordon writes in her introduction. "Swinging their
hatboxes, swaying their hips, chapters with torn slips wander in on
high heels and blistered feet." Looking back to the fairy tales of
Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm, but also casting
sidelong glances at metafictional sugardaddies like Queneau,
Nabokov, Cortazar, Gass, and Milorad Pavic, The Red Shoes is a
Rabelaisian romp through the language of sensuality.
Climate Change and Human History provides a concise introduction to
the relationship between human beings and climate change throughout
history. Starting hundreds of thousands of years ago and going up
to the present day, this book illustrates how natural climate
variability affected early human societies and how human activity
is now leading to drastic changes to our climate. Taking a
chronological approach the authors explain how climate change
created opportunities and challenges for human societies in each
major time period, covering themes such as phases of climate and
history, climate shocks, the rise and fall of civilizations,
industrialization, accelerating climate change and our future
outlook. This 2nd edition includes a new chapter on the explosion
of social movements, protest groups and key individuals since 2017
and the implications this has had on the history of climate change,
an improved introduction to the Anthropocene and extra content on
the basic dynamics of the climate system alongside updated
historiography. With more case studies, images and individuals
throughout the text, the second edition also includes a glossary of
terms and further reading to aid students in understanding this
interdisciplinary subject. An ideal companion for all students of
environmental history, Climate Change and Human History clearly
demonstrates the critical role of climate in shaping human history
and of the experience of humans in both adapting to and shaping
climate change.

This book is a comprehensive but accessible description of English
as it is spoken in New Zealand. New Zealand English is one of the
youngest native speaker varieties of English, and is the only
variety of English where there is recorded evidence of its entire
history. It shares some features with other Southern Hemisphere
varieties of English such as Australian English and South African
English, but is also clearly distinct from these. For the past two
decades extensive research has focused on the evolution and ongoing
development of the variety. New Zealand English presents the
results of this research in an accessible way. Key Features *A
succinct but comprehensive account of the phonetic, phonological,
morphosyntactic, lexical and discourse features which are
characteristic of the dialect. *A discussion of the historical
development of New Zealand English. *A description of the current
social and regional variation within the variety. *An indication of
the areas where change is currently occurring. *Sample texts and an
annotated bibliography of relevant literature. There are also
several associated audio files, which provide examples of many of
the phenomena discussed: http://www.lel.ed.ac.uk/dialects/
