Описание: The small island archipelago of St Kilda, which rises majestically from the stormy waters of the North Atlantic, has a magic and allure which is both enduring and inexplicable. For centuries, St Kilda's remoteness (it lies sixty miles west of the Scottish Hebrides), together with the way of life of its inhabitants, has attracted huge attention from outsiders, who have been fascinated by this small community literally clinging to the edge of the world.
Although St Kildans were always few in number (the population was under 100 when Hirta, the only inhabited island, was evacuated in 1930), their society was extraordinarily well developed - they famously had their own daily 'parliament', at which the men of the island would meet and discuss the tasks of the day.
This remains a work of vital importance for the understanding of this fascinating island society.
Описание: "The Red Book or How To Play Indian" is a 1904 work by Ernest Thompson Seton. It offers instructions and information on how children can 'play Indians', with cultural details to help them be more authentic and learn about Native American traditions and practices. Included are instructions on such actives as organizing a tribe, making teepees, and much more. Contents include: "To Organize a Band of Indians", "Vow of the Head Chief", "Vow of Each Brave on Joining", "Laws", "Teepees", "A List of the Exploits of Coups that Entitled the Brave to a Decoration", "Athletics", "White Honors", "Nature Study", "Photography", etc. Ernest Thompson Seton (1860 - 1946) was an English-born Canadian author and wildlife artist who founded the Woodcraft Indians in 1902. He was also among the founding members of the Boy Scouts of America, established in 1910. He wrote profusely on this subject, the most notable of his scouting literature including "The Birch Bark Roll" and the "Boy Scout Handbook". Seton was also an early pioneer of animal fiction writing, and he is fondly remembered for his charming book "Wild Animals I Have Known" (1898). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
