Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2014University engagement and environmental sustainability
by Patricia Inman, Michael Osborne, Diana Robinson
Universities have a key role to play in contributing to environmental development and combating climate change. The chapters within this volume detail the challenges faced by higher education institutions in considering environmental sustainability, and provide both a broad view of university engagement and a detailed examination of various projects. As part of this series in association with the Place and Social Capital and Learning (PASCAL) International Observatory, the three key PASCAL themes of place management, lifelong learning and the development of social capital are considered throughout the book. While universities have historically generated knowledge outside of specific local contexts, this book argues that it is particularly important for them to engage with the local community and to consider diverse perspectives and assets when looking at issues within an ecological context. The chapters in this volume provide new perspectives and frames of reference for transforming universities by engaging in the development of resilient communities. ;

September 2019Conga Line on the Amazon
by David Myles Robinson
David Myles Robinson was eight years old when he first got hooked on travel. Since then, he’s seen most of the world—all its continents plus, he laments, “far too many places where travel is now off-limits.”After a lifetime of visiting near and far, in heat and in cold, in comfort and in danger, Robinson has put it all together now in this unique collection of the varied travel adventures he’s found—and the lessons he’s learned from them. A Fellini-esque view of the Amazon, a Mercedes caravan to Istanbul, Jane Goodall's amazing chimps—just part of a travel trunk full of experiences guaranteed to keep you seesawing from “Boy, I'd love to do that" to “Sure glad it was him, not me.”In Conga Line on the Amazon, Robinson brings to his first travel book the same gift for intriguing narrative and sharp characterization that has won praise for his six highly successful novels. Some of his tales may be for the strong of heart, but they’re all for the reader with a yen to be entertained by one intrepid man’s adventures and misadventures exploring the strange and wonderful world we live in.

December 2018Tropical Doubts
by David Myles Robinson
Some Honolulu lawyers called Pancho McMartin the best criminal defense attorney in the islands. He'd admit to being pretty damn good. But he was on a losing streak now―three guilty verdicts in a row―and his confidence was sinking fast. When one of his oldest friends, Giselle, was left comatose after surgery and her husband, Manny, pleaded with him to sue the doctors involved, Pancho couldn't find a way to avoid a new specialty: medical malpractice.But it wasn't long before the sudden death of one of the defendants―and a murder charge accusing Manny of being the killer―had Pancho back in the old familiar arena of fighting for his client's life, while at the same time seeking justice for the O.R. errors that had left Giselle in a permanent vegetative state.In Tropical Doubts, the third legal thriller from David Myles Robinson featuring colorful, fast-thinking Pancho McMartin, medical hijinks merge with murder as surprise twists build in this unpredictable courtroom drama.

September 2014Das kleine Pilzbuch
by Catrin Cohnen, Diana Lawniczak
Warum heißt der Fliegenpilz auch Krötenstuhl? Wie schafft es der Austernpilz, Fadenwürmer zu fangen? Und was hat der Faltentintling mit Tinte zu tun? Das sind nur einige der Fragen, die »Das kleine Pilzbuch« in 30 Porträts beantwortet. Das Reich der Pilze ist voller Überraschungen, denn mit den landläufig als Pilz bezeichneten Fruchtkörpern sehen wir nur einen Bruchteil des gesamten Organismus. Catrin Cohnen entführt uns in die faszinierende Welt der Pilze mit ihrer Vielgestaltigkeit und zeigt ihre Bedeutung für den Menschen: als Nahrungsmittel und Medizin, aber auch als Gift und Zerstörer. Sie erzählt auch von den kulturhistorischen Hintergründen, von Sagen und Märchen, in denen Pilze eine Rolle spielen. Liebevoll detailreiche Aquarelle von Diana Lawniczak illustrieren den Band.

Literature & Literary StudiesNovember 2011The Humorous Magistrate (Osborne)
by Jacqueline Jenkins, Mary Polito
The Humorous Magistrate is a seventeenth-century satiric comedy extant in two highly distinctive manuscripts. The earliest and clearly working draft of the play is bound with three other plays (including The Emperor's Favourite, published by the Malone Society in 2010) in a volume in the library of the Newdigate family of Arbury Hall, Nuneaton, Warwickshire. This, the second version, showing yet another stage of revision not found in the Arbury manuscript and orientated towards performance, was purchased by the University of Calgary from the English antiquarian Edgar Osborne in 1972. The relationship between the manuscripts was discovered in 2005. The anonymous play has been attributed to John Newdigate III (1600-1642). Like The Emperor's Favourite, it takes aim at the court; its particular object of satire is governmental strategies under the Personal Rule of Charles I. The play appears in print for the first time in these separate editions. The volumes are illustrated with several plates, some provided for comparative purposes. ;

Film theory & criticismApril 2017Robert Guédiguian
by Series edited by Diana Holmes, Robert Ingram, Joseph Mai
Intervening at the crossroads of philosophy, politics, and cinema, this book argues that the career of Robert Guédiguian, director of Marius et Jeannette (1997) and other popular auteurist films, can be read as an original and coherent project: to make a committed, historically-conscious cinema with friends, in a local space, and over a long period of time. Illustrated with comprehensive readings of all of Guédiguian's films.
