The rainforests are increasingly topical in today's eco-conscious
society; yet people remain ignorant of the many issues hidden by
the language and methods of international development policy. This
volume discusses these issues and analyzes the causes and effects
of such policy. Concentrating on the women pioneers of the poorer
developing nations, the book employs a variety of contrasting
methodologies - from life histories to questionnaire surveys - to
suggest a range of answers to an increasing global concern.
Focusing on the role of women in the clearing of rainforests of
Central and Latin America, the authors argue for local,
"grassroots" action and emphasize the need for women to play an
integral role in the creation and implementation of development
policy. The book provides an analysis not only of the development
concerns faced by poorer nations, but also a discussion of the role
that feminist theory can play in providing solutions to these
economic and gender inequalities. Previous publications by Janet
Townsend include "Geography of Gender in the Third World"
(Hutchinson Education, 1987); and "Indigenous Peoples: A Fieldguide
to Development" (OUP).

This study of Marcel Proust's creative imagination examines an
aspect of the novel that has hitherto been largely overlooked: the
author's dependence on secondary visual sources. Proust made
constant use of reproductions - photographs, engravings, postcards,
illustrations in books - as sources of reference and as narrative
devices in their own right. Furthermore, he consistently chose to
use reproductions in preference to originals, whether people,
places or works of art. Bringing together for the first time a mass
of factual information documenting Proust's use of second-hand
images, the author argues that reproductions play a key role in the
work's complex, multi-layered structure. Rather than being hampered
by their limitations, Proust took advantage of their distancing
effect to free his imagination and to insert new layers of meaning
into his narrative.
