Wildlife in the Anthropocene : Conservation after Nature
Elephants rarely breed in captivity and are not considered domesticated, yet they interact with people regularly and adapt to various environments.Too social and sagacious to be objects, too strange to be human, too captive to truly be wild, but too wild to be domesticated—where do elephants fall in our understanding of nature?In Wildlife in the Anthropocene, Jamie Lorimer argues that the idea of nature as a pure and timeless place characterized by the absence of humans has come to an end.But life goes on. Wildlife inhabits everywhere and is on the move; Lorimer proposes the concept of wildlife as a replacement for nature.Offering a thorough appraisal of the Anthropocene—an era in which human actions affect and influence all life and all systems on our planet— Lorimer unpacks its implications for changing definitions of nature and the politics of wildlife conservation.Wildlife in the Anthropocene examines rewilding, the impacts of wildlife films, human relationships with charismatic species, and urban wildlife.Analyzing scientific papers, policy documents, and popular media, as well as a decade of fieldwork, Lorimer explores the new interconnections between science, politics, and neoliberal capitalism that the Anthropocene demands of wildlife conservation.Imagining conservation in a world where humans are geological actors entangled within and responsible for powerful, unstable, and unpredictable planetary forces, this work nurtures a future environmentalism that is more hopeful and democratic.

A Woman of No Importance
A Woman of No Importance is a play by Irish playwright Oscar Wilde.The play premiered on 19 April 1893 at London's Haymarket Theatre.Like Wilde's other society plays, it satirizes English upper-class society.It has been performed on stages in Europe and North America since his death in 1900.The play opens with a party on a terrace in Lady Hunstanton's estate.The upper class guests spend the better part of Act I exchanging social gossip and small talk.Lady Caroline Pontrefact patronizes an American visitor, Hester Worsley, and proceeds to give her own opinion of everyone in the room (and her surrounding life).Lady Caroline also denounces Hester's enthusiasm for Gerald Arbuthnot until Gerald himself enters to proclaim that Lord Illingworth, a powerful, flirtatious male political figure, intends to take him under his wing as secretary.This is great news for Gerald, as being Lord Illingworth's secretary would be the young man's first step to a life of financial/political success.The guests then discuss the rumors surrounding Lord Illingworth's aim for being a foreign ambassador, while Lady Hunstanton sends a letter through her footman to Gerald's mother, inviting her to the party.

The Importance of Being Earnest
After all, who has the right to cast a stone against one who has suffered?Cannot repentance wipe out an act of folly? Why should there be one law for me and another for women?Wilde's 'trivial play for serious people', a sparkling comedy of manners, is the epitome of wit and style.This brilliantly constructed satire with its celebrated characters and much-quoted dialogue turns accepted ideas inside out and is generally regarded as Wilde's masterpiece.This Methuen Drama Student Edition of the play includes commentary and notes by Lucie Sutherland, Assistant Professor in Drama at the University of Nottingham, UK, which investigate the play through a contemporary lens, bringing in the contributions from queer scholarship and discussions of recent productions of the play.
