ITE contributes to, and draws upon, the collective knowledge of the 13 sister institutes which make up the Natural Environment Research Council, spanning all the environmental sciences. The Institute studies the factors determining the structure, composition and processes of land and freshwater systems, and of individual plant and animal species. It is developing a sounder scientific basis for predicting and modelling environmental trends arising from natural or man- made change. The results of this research are available to those responsible for the protection, management and wise use of our natural resources. One quarter of ITE's work is research commissioned by customers, such as the Department of Environment, the European Economic Community, the Nature Conservancy Council and the Overseas Development Administration. The remainder is fundamental research supported by NERC. ITE's expertise is widely used by international organizations in overseas projects and programmes of research.

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02152-5 - The Tempest: Updated edition Edited by David Lindley Frontmatter More information THE NEW CAMBRIDGE SHAKESPEARE general editor Brian Gibbons associate general editor A. R. Braunmuller, University of California, Los Angeles From the publication of the first volumes in 1984 the General Editor of the New Cambridge Shakespeare was Philip Brockbank and the Associate General Editors were Brian Gibbons and Robin Hood. From 1990 to 1994 the General Editor was Brian Gibbons and the Associate General Editors were A. R. Braunmuller and Robin Hood. THE TEMPEST The Tempest is one of the most suggestive, yet most elusive of all Shakespeare’s plays, and has provoked a wide range of critical interpretations. It is a magical romance, yet deeply and problematically embedded in seventeenth-century debates about authority and power. In this updated edition, David Lindley has thoroughly revised the introduction and reading list to take account of the latest directions in criticism and performance. Including a new section on casting in recent productions, Lindley’s introduction explores the complex questions this raises about colonisation, racial and gender stereotypes, and the nature of the theatrical experience. Careful attention is also given to the play’s dramatic form, stagecraft, and use of music and spectacle, to demonstrate its uniquely experimental nature. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02152-5 - The Tempest: Updated edition Edited

We all have favourite memories and presenters - mine being John Noakes, Peter Purves and Valerie Singleton with their pet cat and dogs, including ‘get down’ Shep! I’m sure many of our childhood memories still resonate of projects using throw away items such as empty cardboard boxes, pipe cleaners, plastic bottles and not forgetting sticky back plastic. So, despite the current massive debate of recycling and up cycling, children have been helping by using these kitchen cast-offs for years. We gardeners, too, try to recycle our plant waste on the compost heap (pages 4-5), however the huge issues of one-use plastic and packaging means there is much to do in the future if we are help preserve our fragile planet. At the Garden Centre we observe a strict recycling policy with the re-use of cardboard boxes for carrying purchases from the till, to shredding newspapers and waste paper for packing our mail-order plants. Gardeners often save toilet rolls for germinating beans, peas and sunflower seeds in and I’ve seen a few net curtains utilised over allotment plots to keep out the dreaded cabbage white butterfly or low flying pesky carrot fly.

  • Shipbuilding Catching Shellfish
    IntroductionIntroduction Much of the East Riding of Yorkshire adjoins water: the North Sea and the River Humber and its tributaries. Over the centuries men have needed boats to travel over the water and to gather food from under it. Naturally people with the right skills set up to build these boats. Some ship building operations are quite well known, such as those in Beverley and Hull. They have been documented in exhibitions in other local museums. This exhibition looks at some less well known boat building yards and boat builders both on the east coast and along the banks of the Humber. It has been researched and produced by the Skidby Windmill Volunteer Team. Prehistory- the Ferriby boats The Yorkshire Wolds have been home to people since Neolithic times and the River Humber has been an important transport route allowing goods and people to travel in all directions by water. For thousands of years this was the easiest and safest way to travel. It is therefore not surprising that North Ferriby was the site of one of the oldest boatyards in Europe as well as being an important harbour. Above: hypothetical reconstruction of a Ferriby boat. Right: Excavation in 1963 In 1937 changes to the tidal currents exposed three large oak planks preserved in the mud which Ted and Willy Wright recognised as belonging to very early boats. At first these were thought to be Viking but later tests confirmed that they were Bronze Age and, at 4000 years A half-scale replica of the Ferriby boats called Oakleaf has been built and sea trials proved old they are some of the oldest boats discovered in Europe.
