The recent rise of 'new nature writing' has renewed the question of how a landscape can be written. This book intervenes in this debate by proposing innovative methodologies for writing place that recognize and make use of the contradictions, fractures and coincidences found in a modern landscape. In doing so, it develops original readings of modernist artists and writers who were associated with the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, including Vanessa Bell, Paul Nash, Eric Benfield and Mary Butts. Their work is set alongside embodied practices of leisure and labour such as sea bathing, beachcombing, quarrying, tourism and scientific fieldwork, as well as the material and geological features of the environment with which such activities are allied. By showing the Isle of Purbeck to be a site where versions of modernity were actively generated and contested, the book contributes to a reassessment of the significance of rural locations for English modernism.

One of a series of practical references for teachers, this handbook provides general information on the background of the environmental studies curriculum in the United States. It contains current information on publications, standards and special materials for the curriculum, and is designed to be adapted to suit particular schools.

This book uses the contradictions, fractures and coincidences of a twentieth-century rural landscape to explore new methods of writing place beyond 'new nature writing'. In doing so it opens up new ways of reading modernist artists and writers such as Vanessa Bell, Mary Butts and Paul Nash.

This book examines Hamas, a Palestinian Islamist military and socio-political movement that grew out of the Muslim Brotherhood. The United States, Israel, the European Union and Canada consider Hamas a terrorist organisation because of its violent resistance to what it deems Israeli occupation of historic Palestine, as well as its rejection of the off-and-on peace process involving Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) since the early 1990s. Hamas receives assistance and training from Iran, Syri and the Lebanese Shiite militant group Hezbollah, and is often discussed alongside other groups in the region that engage in militant and terrorist activities to achieve their ends.
