A field-defining collection of new voices on gender, feminism, and
geography. Feminist Geography Unbound is a call to action-to expand
imaginations and to read and travel more widely and carefully
through terrains that have been cast as niche, including Indigenous
and decolonial feminisms, Black geographies, and trans geographies.
The original essays in this collection center three themes to
unbind and enable different feminist futures: discomfort as a site
where differences generate both productive and immobilizing
frictions, gendered and racialized bodies as sites of political
struggle, and the embodied work of building the future. Drawing on
diverse theoretical backgrounds and a range of field sites,
contributors consider how race, gender, citizenship, and class
often determine who feels comfort and who is tasked with producing
it. They work through bodies as terrains of struggle that make
claims to space and enact political change, and they ask how these
politics prefigure the futures that we fear or desire. The book
also champions feminist geography as practice, through interviews
with feminist scholars and interludes in which feminist collectives
speak to their experience inhabiting and transforming academic
spaces. Feminist Geography Unbound is grounded in a feminist
geography that has long forced the discipline to grapple with the
production of difference, the unequal politics of knowledge
production, and gender's constitutive role in shaping social life.
Originally published in 1998, Sexual Harassment in Higher Education
addresses the problem of sexual harassment on college campuses.
This work reflects on a variety of aspects of sexual harassment,
its litigation and law, as well as how the issues they demonstrate
often have as much to do with linguistics or jurisprudence as with
negative action, though there is a great deal of evidence of the
latter. The book provides a clear-eyed and detailed assessment of
the 'harassment' controversies now plaguing America's universities
and colleges.

At the top of the world far from the light of day lived a snowman.
He spent his days looking out across the flat frozen valleys. It
was a magical place to live except for one thing...It was bitterly
cold! "It's no fun being cold," groaned the snowman. The snowman
doesn't like the cold but he just can't warm up, until the animals
on the mountainside help him out. Their adventurous antics gain him
a new wardrobe and some new friends. But the snowman learns that
what we want isn't always good for us...A chilly children's story.
An official language of the Philippines, Filipino is based on
Tagalog, with elements of Spanish, English, and Chinese mixed in.
The result is a rich, expressive language spoken in the Philippines
and throughout the far-reaching Filipino diaspora. Filipino
Tapestry offers an innovative approach to learning language by
emphasizing the critical intersection of language and culture. It
provides activities and exercises that immerse beginning and
intermediate students of Filipino in a variety of authentic
situations to simulate an in-country experience. Starting with
chapters on such topics as family, friends, and home, it then
expands the student's world in chapters prompting conversation
about food, shopping, parties, and pastimes. Its later chapters
push learners to discuss city and country life, cultural
traditions, religion, history, and politics. Features include: *
background chapters on phonology, sentence construction, and common
expressions * photos and cultural notes about chapter themes *
grammar, reading, listening, and speaking exercises * glossaries of
words and additional expressions
