'What if I don't want to go back to a life of storms and soggy sea
biscuits?' said Captain Blunderfuss. 'What if I'd rather stay here
and search for treasure instead?' When a pair of unruly fictional
pirates escape out of their book into Victorian London, 11-year-old
Odelia Hardluck-Smythe's lonely life is turned upside down. Captain
Blunderfuss and Cook are rude, dangerous and obsessed with marzipan
fruits, but they could be the answer to all her prayers. Pirates
mean treasure and poor, fatherless Odelia could really do with some
of that. Unfortunately, there's more to 'treasure' than buried
chests of rubies and diamonds, as Odelia's about to discover the
hard way. A fast-paced, rip-roaring Victorian adventure with twists
and turns galore!

This book presents a selection of the best papers submitted to the
International Ecocity World Summit held in Vancouver, October 7-11,
2019. The objective is to accelerate knowledge dissemination about
the development of ecocities through attention to what constitutes
an ecocity, what cities around the world are doing, what Vancouver
as an emerging ecocity is doing, and how education can play a role
in preparing the next generation of ecocity practitioners. The book
uses the Summit's overarching theme and sub-themes as an organizing
framework and aligns with the International Ecocity Standards that
serve as a diagnostic tool to help cities assess their progress on
the path to becoming ecocities. The Ecocity Standards are also
proving useful to communities in developing locally relevant
pathways to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The
book is presented in four parts that align with the Summit
overarching theme of i) building a bridge to socially just and
ecologically sustainable cities, supported by sub-themes of ii)
climate action, iii) circular economy, and iv) informal solutions
for sustainable development. Chapters comprising each part in the
book are introduced by a brief precis that orients the reader to
the relevant Ecocity Standards that are being addressed and other
important contextual considerations that open the potential
application of the chapters to an international audience. Arguments
presented in the selected papers provide an orientation to the
importance of engaging people, where they live, in ecocity
transformations as well as emerging opportunities for affordable
and accessible technologies that help cities build capacity for
implementation of ecocity initiatives.
