| little obelia: Nature and the English Diaspora Thomas R. Dunlap, 1999-09-28 First published in 1999, this book is a comparative history of the development of ideas about nature, particularly of the importance of native nature as a part of the culture in the Anglo settler countries of the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It examines the development of natural history in the great nineteenth-century expansion of settlement. It explores settlers' adaptations to the end of expansion and scientists' shift from natural history to ecology. Finally it analyzes the diffusion of ecology through the Anglo world and to the general population as well as the rise of environmentalism. Addressing not only scientific knowledge, but also popular issues such as hunting, common names for plants and animals, landscape painting, and nature stories, this book explores the ways in which English-speaking settlers looked at nature in their new lands and at the place they gave it in their societies. |

| little obelia: The Materiality of Love Anna Malinowska, Michael Gratzke, 2017-09-27 Drawing on love studies and research in material cultures, this book seeks to re-examine love through materiality studies, especially their recent incarnations, new materialism and object-oriented philosophy, to spark a debate on the relationship between love, objects and forms of materializing affection. It focuses on love as a material form and traces connections between feelings and materiality, especially in relation to the changing notion of the material as marked by digital culture, as well as the developments in understanding the nature of non-human affect. It provides insight into how materiality, in its broadest sense, impacts the understanding of the meanings and practices of love today and reversely, how love contributes to the production and transformation of the material world. |

| little obelia: A/r/tography Rita L. Irwin, Alexandra Lasczik, Anita Sinner, Valerie Triggs, 2023-11-06 The focus of this edited book is to evoke and provoke conceptual conversations between early a/r/tographic publications and the contemporary scholarship of a/r/tographers publishing and producing today. Working around four pervasive themes found in a/r/tographic literature, this volume addresses relationality and renderings, ethics and embodiment, movement and materiality, and propositions and potentials. In doing so, it advances concepts that have permeated a/r/tographic literature to date. More specifically, the volume simultaneously offers a site where key historical works can easily be found and at the same time, offer new scholarship that is in conversation with these historical ideas as they are discussed, expanded and changed within contemporary contexts. The organizing themes offer conceptual pivots for thinking through how a/r/tography was first conceptualized and how it has evolved and how it might further evolve. Thus, this edited book affords an opportunity for all those working in and through a/r/tography to offer refined, revised, revisited or new conceptual understandings for contemporary scholarship and practice. Part of the Artwork Scholarship: International Perspectives in Education series. |

| little obelia: Routledge Handbook of International Law and the Humanities Shane Chalmers, Sundhya Pahuja, 2021-05-19 This Handbook brings together 40 of the world’s leading scholars and rising stars who study international law from disciplines in the humanities – from history to literature, philosophy to the visual arts – to showcase the distinctive contributions that this field has made to the study of international law over the past two decades. Including authors from Australia, Canada, Europe, India, South Africa, the UK and the USA, all the contributors engage the question of what is distinctive, and critical, about the work that has been done and that continues to be done in the field of ‘international law and the humanities’. For many of these authors, answering this question involves reflecting on the work they themselves have been contributing to this path-breaking field since its inception at the end of the twentieth century. For others, it involves offering models of the new work they are carrying out, or else reflecting on the future directions of a field that has now taken its place as one of the most important sites for the study of international legal practice and theory. Each of the book’s six parts foregrounds a different element, or cluster of elements, of international law and the humanities, from an attention to the office, conduct and training of the jurist and jurisprudent (Part 1); to scholarly craft and technique (Part 2); to questions of authority and responsibility (Part 3); history and historiography (Part 4); plurality and community (Part 5); as well as the challenge of thinking, and rethinking, international legal concepts for our times (Part 6). Outlining new ways of imagining, and doing, international law at a moment in time when original, critical thought and practice is more necessary than ever, this Handbook will be essential for scholars, students and practitioners in international law, international relations, as well as in law and the humanities more generally. |

| little obelia: The Open Sea: Its Natural History Sir Alister Clavering Hardy, 1965 |
| little obelia: The Open Sea, Its Natural History: The world of plankton Sir Alister Clavering Hardy, 1956 The World of Plankton, the first part of Sir Alister Hardy's distinguished two-book study of marine biology, dealt with the vast swarms of microscopic organisms that inhabit the open sea and provide the fundamental food supply of the oceans. It described a little-known world of strange fascination and great importance, for plankton exert a basic influence on the natural history of the sea. The quotations on the back of this jacket are indicative of the enthusiasm with which the volume was received. In his new book the author turns to the fish and other animals - including whales, turtles, and creatures of the sea floor - that depend directly or indirectly on plankton for food. This is more familiar ground for most readers, but the author soon ventures once again into little-explored realms. After a compelling exposition of the history and habits of fishes in general, he introduces the latest scientific discoveries about the life of important commercial species, such as herring, cod, and plaice. In an admirable blend of the theoretical and practical, he gives us a clear picture of the natural history of fish, refreshed with an up-to-date analysis of its implications for the commercial fishing industry. Particularly absorbing are his chapters on fish parasites and the problem of over-fishing. In a more speculative vein, he does not fear to pursue the sea serpent and the possibility that Eskimos in kayaks may have successfully navigated from Greenland to Britain. The concluding chapter, The Ecologists and the Future, is a fitting culmination to this masterly study of the natural history of the sea. It shows that we, as ransackers of the oceans (to use the old Norse word for research), are just at the beginning of a new age of discovery, just at the start of the proper appreciation, identification, and classification of the life teeming over two-thirds of the earth's surface. Dedicated biologists are pushing into the unknown and enlarging our organized knowledge, but for generations to come there will still be much to do in this challenging field of science. Like its companion volume, this book is intended both for the serious student of marine biology and for the inquiring amateur. It is copiously illustrated with watercolor drawings by the author and with many photographs, line drawings, and maps. -- |
