Subtitle: Konso Landscape, Culture and Development Eastern Africa Series Author: Elizabeth E. Watson Publisher: James Currey (2009) ISBN-10: 1847010059 ISBN-13: 9781847010056 Condition: Very Good. Some light wear to spine-ends and corners. Else a clean, tightly bound copy in very good condition. Binding: Hardcover Pages: 242 Dimensions: 22.1 x 14.1 x 2.0 cm +++ by Elizabeth E. Watson +++ Terraced agricultural landscapes in Africa are remarkable feats of human engineering and social organization, enabling the conservation of soil and water and the cultivation of food. Indigenous terraced landscapes are all the more valuable because they have been produced by the people themselves and maintained for several hundred years, evidencing a valuable degree of sustainability. Taking a period of approximately a hundred years, Living Terraces is both an ethnography and history of the terraces of Konso in southern Ethiopia. It traces the way Konso agriculture and landscape has been produced and managed in close relationship with broader changes in Konso political and cultural lives. In shedding new light on the relationships between landscapes, livelihoods, culture and development, the book demonstrates the embeddedness of social institutions in areas of social, cultural, religious and political life, showing that social institutions cannot easily be abstracted, replicated or used instrumentally for development purposes.

It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 16 - 21 working days Elizabeth and her two brothers were the children of a lumber mill owner and his young wife living in southern America. Adventurous and fearless, as most young children are, Elizabeth got into the usual scrapes and was subject to all the normal mishaps of childhood. As she grew older she found a love so strong and deep that she was willing to embark on a journey to the other side of the world and to live in a culture utterly foreign to her. Elizabeth and her husband, Suleiman, had three beautiful children but their idyllic family life in Libya came to an abrupt end with the military coup of 1969. This is Elizabeth's story, written by her daughter Laila. It is a touching and at times very sad story, which nevertheless is full of humour and spirit. In telling her Mother's story the author has also written a story about courage, loyalty, love and determination.

Southern Africa is a fantastic melting pot of human beings. This is its great fascination. Living here today are people whose culture is still in the late stone age, others who live in the iron age, and yet others belonging to the age of the atom. These are people from the east, from the west, from the north, people like the Bushmen who were here so far back that they always seem part of the sundrenched landscape. In the varied scenic setting of Southern Africa, all these people in widely different ways confronted nature, come to metaphysical terms with the wonders of the land around them, devised their own explanations, myths, legends and romances about the mystery of nature, their own beginnings, the parallel community of ghosts, demons, fairies, monsters and other creatures, good and bad, of the dream world.

It reminded me why I cherish slow living in southern Europe' (Taiye Selasi, Guardian) Chosen as Book of the Year by Random Jottings Made redundant from her job, Kamin Mohammadi flees the bleak streets of London for a friend's sun-dappled apartment in Florence. There, among the cobbled streets, the bustling, vibrant markets and the majestic palazzos, she finds a new lease of life, and a new way to live it. At once lyrical and practical, Bella Figura shows us how to make every aspect of life as beautiful as it can be. From how to choose the perfectly ripe tomato to how to walk down the street in style, Kamin Mohammadi explores the intricate nuances of Italian culture, and sets down a simple guide to a better, more elegant - and ultimately more satisfying - life.
