Sonia Leber And David Chesworth Where Lakes Once Had Water

The comprehensive full-colour publication supports the broader project Where Lakes Once Had Water and the artwork tour. The publication is a content-rich volume of 112 pages, perfect bound with spine, featuring spreads with images from the artwork, in-depth commissioned essays by leading writers that expand on themes from both science and art perspectives, and elaborate on the innovative, interdisciplinary nature of the project.

This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. Water is the element that, more than any other, ties human beings in to the world around them – from the oceans that surround us to the water that makes up most of our bodies. Exploring the cultural and philosophical implications of this fact, Bodies of Water develops an innovative new mode of posthuman feminist phenomenology that understands our bodies as being fundamentally part of the natural world and not separate from or privileged to it. Building on the works by Luce Irigaray, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Gilles Deleuze, Astrida Neimanis's book is a landmark study that brings a new feminist perspective to bear on ideas of embodiment and ecological ethics in the posthuman critical moment.

Emphasizing the role that vivid personalities – including engineers John Laing Weller and Alex Grant as well as contractors and labourers – played in the construction of the canal, Roberta Styran and Robert Taylor use archival sources, government documents, newspapers, maps, and original plans to describe a saga of technological, financial, geographical, and social obstacles met and overcome in an accomplishment akin to the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway. A story of Canadian skill, courage, vision, and hardship, This Colossal Project details the twenty-year excavation of the giant channel and the creation of huge concrete locks amidst war, the Great Depression, political change, and labour unrest.

No fashion sense and everyone owns a pair of "going out" thongs. There is an awful lot of Camo worn up here. Some say that they are just trying to sneak into the NT un-noticed to steal our woman and drink our beer! You can normally hear them before you see them (Because of the Camo) they hold their alcohol like little girls. Hi Vis is a dress code. DO NOT look down on someone wearing High Vis. While you come and go they stay in the Territory, contribute to it, support all the sports, spend their wages locally, bring their families here, and 9 time out of 10 will earn a shit load more than you so just shut ya cake hole! During the wet you will sweat. You will sweat a lot, your friends will sweat and your kids will sweat. You will also smell but hey, so does everyone else.
