In this book, Lucy Wilson addresses the need for both authors and
their female protagonists to immerse themselves in their
communities and nations and to join the dialogue that has
traditionally been reserved for men. However, the need for women to
join the discourse crosses all geographical boundaries. Wilson
takes the lessons she has learned from strong West Indian female
characters, and the creative minds that bring them to life, and in
turn encourages all women to find strength in themselves. In Due
Season is a collection of essays that have appeared in journals and
anthologies between 1986 and 2006. The essays in Part One discuss
the need for a new model of female development as the traditional
bildungsroman is incompatible with the world experienced by
contemporary female characters from developing nations. Part Two
analyzes the major works of Jean Rhys, including Wide Sargasso Sea
and Voyage in the Dark.

Reconstructing Human-Landscape Interactions demonstrates the high
quality of work presented at the first Developing International
Geoarchaeology conference (DIG 2005), held in Saint John, New
Brunswick, Canada, and exemplifies the over-riding theme of this
discipline. People have always used the landscape in many ways: as
a place to live, as a place to grow crops, as a source of natural
resources. Those actions leave their traces. The characteristics of
the landscape constrain which activities are possible, just as
social and cultural habits condition people's connection with the
environment. Geoarchaeology is about finding the traces of these
interactions, and using them to reconstruct how people in the past
behaved in their environmental context.The material covered in the
proceedings ranges from broad themes of climate change and
landscape use, to more specific subjects such as river avulsion and
the use of tidal ponds. The papers move us from the land to the
coastal margin and back onto land to examine particular techniques.
The final paper leads us beyond archaeology and points out that
geoarchaeological data must contribute to the debate about the
sustainability of present-day land-use practices: a fitting
challenge to take us into the future.
