  The remarkable history of Britain and its animals, told through ten iconic species Have you ever wondered why we count sheep to get to sleep? Or where the phrase "red herring" comes from? Across British history, animals have been written about in poetry, painted in oils, and even recorded in law. Loved or feared, familiar or endangered, animals are everywhere to be seen. In this enchanting study, Karen R. Jones takes a journey through the history of ten animals to show the extraordinary story of "beastly" Britain. Jones looks at animals including foxes and hedgehogs, newts and beetles, ghostly hounds, and even the Loch Ness Monster. She reveals the place of animals in British cultural identity and sheds new light on the most iconic moments of British history, from the Black Death to World War II. The story of these isles may be told by human voices, but it is fully brought to life by listening to the squawks, bellows, and howls that make Britain what it is.

  Wait Five Minutes - Weatherlore...

  The weather governs our lives. It fills gaps in conversations, determines our dress, and influences our architecture. No matter how much our lives may have moved indoors, no matter how much we may rely on technology, we still monitor the weather. Wait Five Minutes: Weatherlore in the Twenty-First Century draws from folkloric, literary, and scientific theory to offer up new ways of thinking about this most ancient of phenomena. 
   
   
   
  Weatherlore is a concept that describes the folk beliefs and traditions about the weather that are passed down casually among groups of people. From detailing personal experiences at picnics and suburban lawns to critically analyzing storm stories, novels, and flood legends, contributors offer engaging multidisciplinary perspectives on weatherlore. 
   
   
   
  As we move further into the twenty-first century, an increasing awareness of climate change and its impacts on daily life calls for a folkloristic reckoning with the weather and a rising need to examine vernacular understandings of weather and climate. Weatherlore helps us understand and shape global political conversations about climate change and biopolitics at the same time that it influences individual, group, and regional lives and identities. We use weather, and thus its folklore, to make meaning of ourselves, our groups, and, quite literally, our world.

  Memory flows like a river, and it is through its constant flow that we come into being.
  
  
  Twelve of our most exciting contemporary writers consider the subject of rivers and how they shape us throughout our lives, demarcating cities as well as moulding our creative consciousness.
  
  Tessa Hadley revisits Rumer Godden's The River; Jo Hamya pays homage to Virginia Woolf; Michael Malay goes nightfishing for eels along the River Severn; Marchelle Farrell revisits the tropical waterfalls of her childhood home in Trinidad; and Caleb Azumah Nelson is drawn to the Guadalquivir in Seville.
