Dear All,
I wanted to let you know about Reaktion Books new Earth series, which launched in May 2012.
The Earth series is the first of its kind to trace the historical significance and cultural history of natural phenomena and resources. Written by experts who are passionate about their subject, books in the series bring together representations from mythology, religion, art, literature, science, popular culture, cinema and television, exploring and explaining the world around us in an exciting new way.
James Hamilton's 'Volcano' and Brian Hudson's 'Waterfall' are both available. They will be excellent additions to reading lists for geography modules which engage with scientific and/or cultural ideas about natural phenomena. Andrew Robinson's 'Earthquake' and Stephen Pyne's 'Fire' will be released in October 2012.
Please see link for more details: http://www.reaktionbooks.co.uk/series.html?id=20
There are a number of titles still available to be commissioned: Coast, Comet, Emerald, Iceberg, Jungle, Lake, Lightning, Marble, Nile, Oasis, Pearl, Rainbow, Reef, River, Silver, Sun
If you have any enquiries, please contact series editor, Dr Daniel Allen (independent scholar): [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]
Kind regards,
Daniel
