TO ACCOMPANY A MAJOR ITV DOCUMENTARY We are poisoning our planet
and destroying the lives of our children. In the west arguments
rage over how much nuclear radiation and toxic dumping is safe,
while children continue to breath filthy air and eat food full of
pesticides. In the third World, over four million children die each
year from drinking unclean water. Adults make the decisions but
children pay the highest price. They are physically vulnerable and
politically powerless. When the Bough Breaks... is about the world
we are creating for our children. For too long we have used what we
want from our planet now, refusing to think about the future. But
it may still not be too late. The book sets out what must be done
and describes how people throughout the world are uniting to clean
up the mess we have made. Lloyd Timberlake is an internationally
renowned environmental consultant and writer. Laura Thomas is well
known for her work as a lobbyist for the successful campaigns for
freedom of information and lead-free air. Originally published in
1990
As the nineteenth century came to an end, a number of voices within
the British and American magazine industries pushed back against
serialisation as the dominant publication mode, experimenting
instead with less conventional magazine formats. This book explores
these formats, focusing (in particular) on the ways in which the
periodical press first published The Adventures of Huckleberry
Finn, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and The Return of Sherlock
Holmes. What led magazines to publish excerpts from a forthcoming
book, or an entire novel in a single issue, or a discontinuous
short-story series? How did these experimental modes affect the act
of reading? Drawing on a range of archival and other primary
sources, Literary Experiments in Magazine Publishing: Beyond
Serialization addresses these and other questions.
