The Real Big Bang
Deep in the heart of East Anglia lies the sleepy village of Red Kep. A village known for its juicy greens. A village which a weary motorist could easily miss with the blink of an eye. A place where nothing out of the ordinary ever happens. At least that is what Jemima Sally thinks when she takes her first teaching post in the drowsy town. But the naive teacher couldn’t be any more wrong. Before she realises it, Jemima Sally has been catapulted into the realms of the paranormal. She is forced to adapt to a world of low flying students, chlorophyll enhanced children, secret military flights and a cabbage patch war. Miss Sally begins to question her eyesight, the school curriculum and her own sanity. At the point of despair, the school teacher finds an ally in Primrose Green, a pupil with abnormal sensory abilities and an eco system living atop her head. The unlikely duo starts to uncover the truth about the bizarre goings on in Red Kep. A trail of clues leads to a mad, local inventor who has dabbled outside the boundaries of science and nature. Sleepy Red Kep looks set to imprint its name in the history books when an EXPLOSIVE situation develops. Things can only go one way. Up.

Rewilding Food and the Self
This volume contributes to the return to nature movement that is very much in vogue in contemporary European societies, by examining the place of food and eating in the "rewilding" process. It is divided into three parts, each of which consists of conversations between social scientists, with fieldwork collected from across Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Norway and Switzerland. The first part focuses on the ways in which the hunter-gatherer livelihood has been transformed into a resilient, simpler and ecological way of life. It is dedicated to hunting and identifies the contexts in which large wild game meat is consumed and the reasons why such a product is still valued today. The second p...

Human and Animal Sensitivity
This book presents cross-discipline studies covering aspects ranging from animal science to social/consumer sciences and psychology, with the aim to collect and disseminate information promoting the continuous enhancement of animal welfare by improving stakeholders’ perception of animal welfare. Although animal welfare is about how the animals perceive the surrounding environment, the actual welfare of the animals is dependent on how the stakeholders perceive and weigh animal welfare. The stakeholders can, either directly (i.e., through stock-people interaction with the animals) or indirectly (e.g., when retailers and consumers are willing to pay more for high welfare animal-based products), affect the way animals are kept and handled.

Print, Manuscript & Performance
The eleven essays in this volume explore the complex interactions in early modern England between a technologically advanced culture of the printed book and a still powerful traditional culture of the spoken word, spectacle, and manuscript.
