Soil Invertebrates Kaleidoscope of Adaptations

Soil invertebrates make up diverse communities living in soil pores and on the soil surface digging burrows and tunnels processing organic matter and interacting with microbes. Soil is also a habitat of growing concern as many human activities cause soil degradation. This book documents the evolutionary history of soil invertebrates and their multitude of adaptations. Soil invertebrates live in a twilight zone: some have gone down to seek stability constancy and rest others have gone up and faced environmental variation heat cold and activity. And it all happens in a few decimetres millimetres sometimes. Check out the wonderful life below ground in this book. | Soil Invertebrates Kaleidoscope of Adaptations

Untaming Girlhoods Storytelling Female Adolescence

Untaming Girlhoods Storytelling Female Adolescence

This is an interdisciplinary examination of depictions of girlhoods through a comparative study of foundational fairy tales revised and reimagined in popular narrative film and television adaptations. The success of franchises such as The Hunger Games Twilight and Divergence have re-presented the young heroine as an empowered female and often a warrior hero in her own right. Through a selection of popular culture touchstones this empowerment is questioned as a manipulation of feminist ideals of equality and a continuation of the traditional vision of female awakening centering on issues of personal choice agency physical violence purity and beauty. By investigating re-occurring storytelling frameworks and archetypes Untaming Girlhoods examines different portrayals of girlhoods in the 20th- and 21st-century Anglo-American cultural imaginary that configure modern girlhoods beyond the fairy-tale princess or the damsel in distress into refigurations that venture away from the well-trodden path for a new breakaway path to authentic selfhood. This will be a useful and enlightening text for students and researchers in Girlhood Studies Gender Studies Film Studies Popular Culture and Media Studies. | Untaming Girlhoods Storytelling Female Adolescence
