Long-listed for THE J R ACKERLEY PRIZE FOR AUTOBIOGRAPHY 2005. The shortlist will be announced in February 2005 and the winner in late March. Warm from the memory of a five week trip around India, Catherine Hill and her boyfriend are happy to be on a plane flying home to Milan. They dream of decent Italian food, and an exciting future together as they wearily climb on board the Pan-Am jumbo at four o'clock on a Friday morning at Bombay airport. Briefly opening their eyes as the plane touches down in Karachi for a fuel and passenger stopover, they little imagine the tragedy that is about to unfold and the merciless twist life has reserved for them and many of their fellow passengers. Within a...
One in six children now struggle with mental health. Is yours one of them? Ours is a worried world.

Conflicts about wildlife are usually portrayed and understood as resulting from the negative impacts of wildlife on human livelihoods or property. However, a greater depth of analysis reveals that many instances of human-wildlife conflict are often better understood as people-people conflict, wherein there is a clash of values between different human groups. Understanding Conflicts About Wildlife unites academics and practitioners from across the globe to develop a holistic view of these interactions. It considers the political and social dimensions of ‘human-wildlife conflicts’ alongside effective methodological approaches, and will be of value to academics, conservationists and policy makers.
Spong Hill, with over 2500 cremations, remains the largest early Anglo-Saxon cremation cemetery to have been excavated in Britain. This volume presents the long-awaited chronology and synthesis of the site. It gives a detailed overview of the artefactual evidence, which includes over 1200 objects of bone, antler and ivory. Using this information, together with programmes of correspondence analysis of the cremation urns and the grave-goods, a revised phasing and chronology of the site is offered, which argues that it is largely fifth-century in date. The implications of this revised dating for interpretations of the early medieval period in Britain and further afield are explored in full.
