How to use this web view

Since finalising the typescript of Hello World I have inevitably come across all kinds of material that I would have liked to include had I known about it at the time. There are also items of information, personal and otherwise, that seemed inappropriate to mention in the work itself but which I think will enhance the whole.

To compensate, I have produced this blog as a complement to the print edition. It is sporadically updated with extracts (in italics), information, further thoughts and reflections plus - I hope - your comments. Occasionally you will also find audio and short movies. However, it is no subsitute for the book itself, and may be somewhat confusing if read in isolation - although even then, I hope it will be of interest.

There is also a category called Connections featuring recent and ongoing work, plus links to Workshops and Conferences, Articles, and Reviews.

The print book is divided into three sections, each with numbered chapters. I've reproduced that format here in the hope that readers will comment on specific issues, and with the addition of chapter titles to the numbering used in the book. Not all the sections have content yet so scroll down to see what you can find and please feel free to contribute. And if there is a url or project I should know about, or if I’ve got my facts wrong somewhere, please let me know. The categories are structured as follows:

PART ONE: 2002
Cover
Acknowledgements p5
Foreword p9
01 Imagining p13
02 Hello World p19
03 Shapes p21
04 Geographies p25
05 Bachelard's concepts p38
06 Thoreau's ideas p42
07 Links p51
08 Electricity p55

PART TWO: 2000
09 The Indian Pacific p59
10 Growing up p69
11 Riding the train p87
12 The lived body p94
13 Skin p101
14 Where are we? p107
15 Food and money p124
16 Anxiety p138
17 Worries p146
18 Infection p151
19 Addiction p156
20 Nullabor p164
21 Exposed to the centre p170
22 Sex and greed p174
23 Turned inside out p190
24 Wastelands p208
25 Settlement p212
26 Home p217
27 Cultivation p219
28 More p223

PART THREE: 2002
29 Amtrak Coast Starlight p227
30 Death Valley p231
31 Virtuality p240
32 Sunset Boulevard p249
33 Our country p264

As a general rule:
1. in the web view, text in italics is excerpted from the book.
2. footnotes are not included in the web view but can of course be found in the book.

I hope you enjoy the book and the site and I look forward to reading your thoughts.

best wishes
Sue Thomas
