Trickle and Flow: Chapters in the History and Culture of Water

Author: 

Roth, Marty

Credentials: 

Ph.D, University of Chicago

For what is water, children, which seeks to make all things level, which has no taste or color of its own, but a liquid form of Nothing?
Graham Swift, Waterland

I am writing to you from a far-off country.
Here I should explain this
business of waves. It is insanely
complicated, and the sea . . .
I beg you, trust me. Would I want
to mislead you? She, the sea, is
not only a word. She is not only a
fear. She exists, I swear it to you

Feminism and the Mastery of Women

Author: 

Nall, Jeffery

Credentials: 

Ph.D, Comparative Studies—Feminism,Gender and Sexuality

Dr Nall's monograph uses a title that may seem familiar since it is a tribute to Val Plumwood’s classic ecofeminist work ,Feminism and the Mastery of Nature(Routledge). Nall, like Plumwood, explores the dominant Western discourse around gender and childbirth. The research examines the connections between the understanding of women and nature and the construction of pervasive conceptualizations and practices of childbirth. It also examines the relationship between conceptualizations of men and masculinity, culture and nature, and childbirth.
