Book Description
Two and a half thousand kilometres. Seventy days. A poet makes a long journey by canoe down Australia's greatest river. Along the way he searches for words in the water, sentences upon the sandy banks, phrases in the forest. The Song of the Wounded River reveals a place that is both beautiful and damaged, resilient and fragile. Perhaps, if we can learn to sing the River, we may just find that we have the collective will to save it.

Routledge International Handbook of Outdoor Studies
Author: Barbara Humberstone
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317666518
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 1238
Book Description
The ‘outdoors’ is a physical and ideological space in which people engage with their environment, but it is also an important vehicle for learning and for leisure. The Routledge Handbook of Outdoor Studies is the first book to attempt to define and survey the multi-disciplinary set of approaches that constitute the broad field of outdoor studies, including outdoor recreation, outdoor education, adventure education, environmental studies, physical culture studies and leisure studies. It reflects upon the often haphazard development of outdoor studies as a discipline, critically assesses current knowledge in outdoor studies, and identifies further opportunities for future research in this area. With a broader sweep than any other book yet published on the topic, this handbook traces the philosophical and conceptual contours of the discipline, as well as exploring key contemporary topics and debates, and identifying important issues in education and professional practice. It examines the cultural, social and political contexts in which people experience the outdoors, including perspectives on outdoor studies from a wide range of countries, providing the perfect foundation for any student, researcher, educator or outdoors practitioner looking to deepen their professional knowledge of the outdoors and our engagement with the world around us.

Burying the Mountain
Author: Shangyang Fang
Publisher: Copper Canyon Press
ISBN: 1619322455
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
In Shangyang Fang’s debut Burying the Mountain, longing and loss rush through a portal of difficult beauty. Absence is translated into fire ants and snow, a boy’s desire is transfigured into the indifference of mountains and rivers, and loneliness finds its place in the wounded openness of language. From the surface of a Song Dynasty ink-wash painting to a makeshift bedroom in Chengdu, these poems thread intimacy, eros, and grief. Evoking the music of ancient Chinese poetry, Fang alloys political erasure, exile, remembrance, and death into a single brushstroke on the silk scroll, where names are forgotten as paper boats on water.
