What if the sun were a spectator of life on Earth? What if the sun
were a reporter, taking notes, making observations, recording
stories? What if it had carte blanche to tell what it sees. No
doubt it would recount an odd mixture of daily life, coupled with
wisdom and surprises. This collection of diverse poems brings
tears, laughter, and, on occasion, presses you to challenge the
status quo. Some are meant simply to be enjoyed. "What the Sun
Sees" has a poetic voice that speaks with love and fervor to broad
human concerns, from care of the planet to personal reflections on
family and human experience. The sun sees it all. In her poem,
"corpus," Sarah reminds us that the grave "esteems no one, but
honors all." So it is with the sun, as it continues to shine.
Literary texts and buildings have always represented space,
narrated cultural and political values, and functioned as sites of
personal and collective identity. In the twentieth century, new
forms of narrative have represented cultural modernity, political
idealism and architectural innovation. Writing the Modern City
explores the diverse and fascinating relationships between
literature, architecture and modernity and considers how they have
shaped the world today. This collection of thirteen original essays
examines the ways in which literature and architecture have shaped
a range of recognisably 'modern' identities. It focuses on the
cultural connections between prose narratives - the novel, short
stories, autobiography, crime and science fiction - and a range of
urban environments, from the city apartment and river to the
colonial house and the utopian city. It explores how the themes of
memory, nation and identity have been represented in both literary
and architectural works in the aftermath of early twentieth-century
conflict; how the cultural movements of modernism and postmodernism
have affected notions of canonicity and genre in the creation of
books and buildings; and how and why literary and architectural
narratives are influenced by each other's formal properties and
styles. The book breaks new ground in its exclusive focus on modern
narrative and urban space. The essays examine texts and spaces that
have both unsettled traditional definitions of literature and
architecture and reflected and shaped modern identities: sexual,
domestic, professional and national. It is essential reading for
students and researchers of literature, cultural studies, cultural
geography, art history and architectural history.

Since the beginning of humanity's existence, plants have provided
us with everything we need for our survival - they sustain us with
air to breathe, food to eat, materials to make clothes and shelter
with, and medicine to treat and prevent disease. Their beauty can
also enhance our mood and provide spiritual and emotional
nourishment. Western science has 'discovered' and named innumerable
plant species over the course of its colonial history. To many
Indigenous peoples, however, plants have been recognised for
centuries as sentient beings, imbued with spirit and agency to help
humanity. Publishing in partnership with the Royal Botanic Gardens
at Kew, The Ethnobotanical offers a unique and beautiful
perspective on plants and their roles in the lives of peoples from
across the planet.
