About the Book Twelve stories exploring the way of life, culture, customs, and ancestral wisdom of indigenous groups living in Ecuador's Equatorial Amazon. Book Synopsis The Skipping Stone Magazine Honor Award (one of the best multicultural books for children in 2020) Green Was My Forest is an illustrated collection of twelve short stories about each of Ecuador's six remaining Amazon indigenous groups, told from the point-of-view of the indigenous children themselves. In simple, yet beautiful language, the stories explore the culture, customs and ancestral wisdom of the indigenous groups living in the Ecuadorian Amazon, highlighting their collective love, respect and custodianship of the natural world.

They portray the way of life of the people who live in Ecuadorian Amazonia known for its forest, exotic animals, and indigenous towns. After traveling to this little-known region and meeting the people who inhabit it, Iturralde studied their way of life, observed their culture, and then wrote these imaginative entertaining stories remaining faithful to these tribes and their world.Ecuadorian author, Edna Iturralde, is considered the most important figure in children and young adult's literature in Latin America with nearly sixty published books.

Antipodes is a unique work of fiction, set in present-day post-apocalyptic Australia. Aimed at young adults who are disillusioned with our world, and concerned for the ecological future of our planet, Antipodes focuses on the values our society lacks-sustainability, inclusion, community and friendship. Cam Mackintosh is in his last year of a science degree at Melbourne University when he is offered the opportunity of a lifetime, the chance to help establish an entirely sustainable community on an island off the coast of Australia following a deadly outbreak. The community is presented with a clean slate; a completely new eco-village, protected from the outside world, but with much of the knowledge and technology of today. The community on August Island thrives and is established on modern values of gender equality and cultural inclusion. In their second year, Will overcomes his personal challenges and finds love with Freyja. Life is idyllic until Freyja goes missing. Will follows her to Scotland using Antipodes, an ancient secret, referenced by many cultures throughout history. There he connects with sustainable community on the island of Lewis, much like his own. Strangers become friends, and he realises he has found his forever home, the place where he is genuinely "of the land". His new friends include Fraser, who shares his passion for sustainable agriculture and Laetitia, a psychologist turned teacher with a challenging past. Despite his contentment, his loyalty and commitment to Freyja continue to haunt him, and Will travels outside the protection of the communities in search of Freyja and other communities like theirs. Antipodes: Crossroads is the prequel novella to the Antipodes series. This series will appeal to readers who enjoy the environment-centred work of Margaret Atwood such as Oryx and Crake, or work by Piers Torday, Frank Cottrell Boyce and Sarah Crossan's Breathe.
There is something quite scary about an anthology that clocks in at over 500 pages being entirely about the end of humanity. It turns out, there is also something terribly entertaining about it as well. David Harten Watson has collated the work of several extremely talented authors to create Extinction Notice, a compilation of eco-fiction short stories in eight parts. There is also a sprinkling of poems and a couple of songs to flesh out a book stretching over from a pre-historic start date of 250,000,000 BC to 2301 AD and beyond. Watson's literati hail from everywhere and feature writers like Fabiyas M V, a poet from India and his poem Sunburn, American James Lipson and his flash fiction piece Vacation Time, England's own Taria Karillion with the short story The Highs and Lows of Barefoot Pleasure, and Scottish author Russell Hemmell's super-future-fiction story, The Happy Colony by the Sea. Extinction Notice is a timely collection with just enough levity so the reader does not feel they are being preached to and just enough weight to start a reader down the road of thoughtful self-examination; both being delivered in a blend of science fiction and satire. The diversity of storytelling that David Harten Watson gives us in this book kept me from feeling as if the anthology is a rehashing of the same ideas from the same author, which is a problem I have experienced in similar volumes. Here, we get a delicious mix that is fresh and exciting. You don't know what will come next and that is what makes it so much fun. Some Like It Cold is a hilarious science-fiction story that turns Earth into a luxury vacation destination, albeit one with terrorism issues. A vacationer comments on the trip: “Well, the deposit had already been paid, and as long as you just stay away from the bad areas, Earth is still a lovely vacation spot.” This book is a vacation of its own and an escape that still keeps its finger on the pulse of “who knows, we might someday, maybe...”

About the Book "This pioneering study is the first full-length treatment of feminism and the environment in children's literature. Drawing on the history, philosophy and ethics of ecofeminism, it examines the ways in which post-apocalyptic landscapes in young adult fiction reflect contemporary attitudes towards eco-crisis and human responsibility. Identifying the neoliberal discourses of individualism and self-advancement that 'feminise' categories lying outside the parameters of the adult white male, it explores the ways in which contemporary young adult authors attempt to develop a sustainable ethic of care that can encompass 'feminised' peoples and spatialities, including nonhumans and the environment. With particular reference to the ways in which global processes are mapped onto the local landscape, it advocates a poetics of earth to replace the disengaged planetary consciousness often engendered through crisis. This study lays forth various transformative responses to eco-crisis at a time of escalating global concern over the environment. Discussing a range of contemporary texts and authors, including The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins and Meg Rosoff's How I Live Now, this engaging book offers a significant contribution to children's literature studies."--Publisher's website.

Review Quotes 'The six main chapters chart a winding path that allows Curry's discursive trajectory to constantly dip into and out of her chosen novels at will, thereby casting a critical eye over topics such as climate change, posthumanism, spirituality, social justice, ecophobia, identity politics, globalisation and the neoliberal hegemonic and patriarchal power structures that exist to dominate human beings and the environment alike Curry's approach in this book allows for interesting and individual readings of particular sections in the primary texts she discusses.' - Anthony Pavlik, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden About the Author ALICE CURRY is an Honorary Associate of Macquarie University in Sydney and the Advisor, Children's Literature to the Commonwealth Education Trust in London. With degrees from Oxford University and Macquarie University, she is the author of several academic articles and the editor of A River of Stories: Tales and Poems from Across the Commonwealth, illustrated by Jan Pienkowski.

Upcyled Caterpillar Tailcoat, Repurposed Blazer and Work Gloves, Fairytale Fashion, Alice in Wonderland Absolem Caterpillar Costume, Adult Size Endure Upcycled Designs by Karen Yaremkewich Handmade Locally ~ One-of-a-Kind ~ Eco-friendly PLEASE NOTE: THIS GARMENT IS CUSTOM ORDER ONLY. PLEASE ALLOW 2 WEEKS TO CREATE. This listing is a custom order and the photos shown are of costumes I have previously made and don't reflect exactly what you will receive. I create using reclaimed materials for an eco-friendly garment. I make special effort to create something one of a kind using the materials available at that time. The Caterpillar (also known as the Hookah-Smoking Caterpillar) is a fictional character appearing in Lewis Carroll's book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. i am particularly inspired by Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" film. Alan Rickman voices the Caterpillar, who in this adaptation is named "Absolem".[2] Rickman was filmed while recording his voice in a studio, but his face was not composited onto the character's face as originally planned.[3] He appears five times in the movie. The first time is outside Wonderland, when a young man is about to propose to Alice and she notices a blue caterpillar on his shoulder. The second time is when the white rabbit, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, dormouse and the dodo try to decide whether Alice is really the one from the Oraculum. They take her to Absolem, who concludes that she is "not hardly Alice." He appears after Alice arrives at the White Queen's Castle, on this particular meeting, she becomes rather annoyed with him blowing his smoke in her face. He appears again before the war and reminds Alice of her previous trip to Wonderland, and proclaims that she is Alice at last. At the end of the movie, the caterpillar, in his transformed form as a butterfly, appears on Alice's shoulder as she sets off for China. All work done in my smoke free and pet free studio.

About the Book In an exhilarating blend of scholarly intelligence, relentless adventure, and cutting wit, Robert Langdon (first introduced in "Angels Demons") and his new adventure combines the punch of Robert Ludlum, the intriguing historical touch of Umberto Eco, and the nonstop suspense of Michael Crichton. Book Synopsis #1 WORLDWIDE BESTSELLER - While in Paris, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is awakened by a phone call in the dead of the night. The elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, his body covered in baffling symbols. "Blockbuster perfection.... A gleefully erudite suspense novel." --The New York Times "A pulse-quickening, brain-teasing adventure." --People As Langdon and gifted French cryptologist Sophie Neveu sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci--clues visible for all to see and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter. Even more startling, the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion--a secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci--and he guarded a breathtaking historical secret. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle--while avoiding the faceless adversary who shadows their every move--the explosive, ancient truth will be lost forever. Review Quotes Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read "Read the book and be enlightened." --The Washington Post Book World"Blockbuster perfection....
