Writing Therapy
'How To' Guide books aren't supposed to be works of fiction, are they? (Even if some of the advice they give can be difficult to believe!) And writing manuals don't often tell a story, even if they tell you how to write one. Frances Nolan is a young girl with a problem - she reads too much. So much, in fact, that she begins to think she is a character in a novel that she's writing. This 'beautifully-angled novel about growing up and breaking down' (Richard Coles) is also a multi-layered book-within-a-book, cleverly charting the creative process of writing a novel and exploring the complex relationship between fact and fiction.
The Refugee in International Law
Millions of people are today forced to flee their homes as a result of conflict, systematic discrimination, or other forms of persecution. The core instruments on which they must rely to secure international protection are the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol. This book, the leading text in the field, examines key challenges to the Convention such as the status of refugees, applications for asylum, and the international and domestic standards of protection. The situation of refugees is one of the most pressing and urgent problems facing the international community and refugee law has grown in recent years to a subject of global importance. In this long...

The Cambridge History of Latin American Women's Literature will not only engage readers in ongoing debates but also serve as a definitive reference for years to come.

Hatvany delivers an emotionally rich, honest, and gripping novel about a woman who sets out to find the father who left her years ago and ends up discovering herself.
Performing Women and Modern Literary Culture in Latin America
Women have always been the muses who inspire the creativity of men, but how do women become the creators of art themselves? This was the challenge faced by Latin American women who aspired to write in the 1920s and 1930s. Though women's roles were opening up during this time, women writers were not automatically welcomed by the Latin American literary avant-gardes, whose male members viewed women's participation in tertulias (literary gatherings) and publications as uncommon and even forbidding. How did Latin American women writers, celebrated by male writers as the "New Eve" but distrusted as fellow creators, find their intellectual homes and fashion their artistic missions? In this innovat...

Not a single R.A.A.F. fighter aircraft was available to meet this attack, imminent and inevitable though it was.
Supergrid – Super Solution
As we live through the throes of an energy crisis this timely book sets out how electricity can finally get the world off fossil fuels, and accelerate moves to a zero-carbon world.
