Book Description
"Four children, Kiri, Jed, and twins Emma and Ethan, discover an 'elastic' island that can send them pinging across the ocean to a variety of tropical island destinations. Their last destination spelt trouble, so this time the children are determined to have a relaxed and safe time when they visit Port Mugaloo on MugaMuga Island. But Ethan falls into a pond and becomes invisible - and the only one who can help them is King Shiny. But King Shiny has gone missing looking for the long-lost royal treasure, so they enlist the help of Mrs Quokka and travel across the desert on a seven-humped camel into very dangerous territory to find him. But have the children made a mistake in trusting Mrs Quokka? They soon learn that quokkas might be famous for their 'quokka logic' but mostly it doesn't make any sense!"--Author's website.
Co-opting Culture
Author: Garrick B. Harden
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 1461633257
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Co-opting Culture: Culture and Power in Sociology and Cultural Studies represents a collection of new scholarship on culture from the social sciences and from work done under the rubric of 'cultural studies'. Working from the idea that Sociology and Cultural Studies have developed distinct and valuable toolkits for understanding culture, the editors have brought together a collection of essays that address the ways in which the cultures around race, sex, and gender are mediated through or intersect with politics, society, and economy. Some essays deal directly with the theoretical nature of this mediation, while others adopt these theoretical approaches to investigate specific cultural objects or communities. In doing so, these essays call attention to the particularities of form that constitute a kind of cultural logic around the objects under consideration.

Elastic Island Adventures - Kingdom of Blong
Author: Karen McMillan
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781991170132
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Kingdom of Blong is the fifth in the Elastic Island Adventures children's book series for children aged 7 - 12. Kiri, Jed, and twins Emma and Ethan, discover an 'elastic' island that sends them pinging across the ocean to a variety of destinations. When they arrive at the Kingdom of Blong, they discover that Blong the Cat is the island's missing king. Blong is greeted with a great deal of fanfare, but it looks like fame might be the ruin of him. Will Blong's relationship with Emma continue? And why do the bilbies, led by Baxter the Bilby, decide it is a good idea to live on a dangerous island ruled by cats? Will they end up on the dinner menu, or will they survive? 'As in many children's fantasy adventure books the central theme in Elastic Island Adventures: Kingdom of Blong is the battle between good and evil. It is an action-packed thrilling read. But interspersed between the scary parts are lighthearted moments. There is love in the air between two of the bilbies. I think that will make it a much more enjoyable read, especially for younger readers. While tweenies who are undergoing their own emotional changes will be able to guess what is behind Kiri's emotional outbursts and her awkward relationship with Jed.'
