Описание: True fear in the heart of a child is where all sadness is born. To harm a child is to place upon them your own fears. Casting upon the young the evilness of mankind, if this is your desire, then this makes us enemies. And so shall heavy be thy hammer, a cold sharpness will come quick with my blade as will darkness follow my bullets. I have seen too much. I have seen who you can be, and may your God abandon His pity upon your putrid soul. And if its no God you fear or an eternity condemned to hell, then let that dying breath come slowly as your life trickles from your body. Know this, in the eyes of us all, there is no one more deserving of its

Описание: A Gatherer, of Days and Lights and Secret Places is a new collection of poetry and accompanying abstract pastel art by Ethel Mortenson Davis. It contains 56 new poems and 12 art reproductions. In all of Daviss books images in the poems are intense, the language describing them so condensed and essential that each shines like a diamond. The contents of the poems intermingle the earths beauty with comments, sometimes caustic, about the human experience. As one critic noted, she "is a clear-eyed visionary who observes the world around her and reveals to us what she sees in powerful poems . . . that are nothing short of mystical." If the poems are "spare in structure and economical in language," as another critic said. Her pastels "are a vibrant swirl of color and shape that engulf the senses with a richness that seems sinful." Together, the poems and the pastels "accentuate each other in ways that inspire new meanings and feelings, shifting like the interplay of light and shadow one experiences in a long walk through a woods." A poem like "The Gatherer" illustrates the intensity of her images and the mystery of the wild woman in the wilderness as she gathers in the richness of the earth: The Gatherer He is not just a gatherer of ripened berries and roots, plants of every kind, but a gatherer of days and lights and secret places where treasures abound. Hes not just a gatherer of summer strawberries, blueberries, and blackcaps, the northern red cranberries, but a gatherer of open spaces, a quiet still hill, and a meeting at last of his wild woman. She is there in the blanket of golden chanterelles among the deep pockets of the forest where he finally ravishes her with kisses to her mouth and blowing hair.
Описание: "Mr. Heavey takes us back to the joys--and occasional pitfalls--of the humble edibles around us, and his conclusions ring true."--Wall Street Journal Longtime Field & Stream contributor Bill Heavey has become the magazine's most popular voice by writing for sportsmen with more enthusiasm than skill. In his first full-length book, Heavey chronicles his attempts to "eat wild," seeing how much of his own food he can hunt, fish, grow, and forage. But Heavey is not your typical hunter-gatherer. Living inside the D.C. Beltway, and a single dad to a twelve-year-old daughter with an aversion to "nature food," he's almost completely ignorant of gardening and foraging. Incensed at the squirrels destroying his tomatoes, he is driven to rodent murder--by arrow. Along the way, Heavey is guided by a number of unlikely teachers, from the eccentric Paula, who runs an under-the-table bait business, to Michelle, an attractive single mom unselfconsciously devoted to eating locally. To the delight of his readers and the embarrassment of his daughter, he suffers blood loss, humiliation, and learns, as he puts it, that "'edible' is not to be confused with 'tasty.'"
Описание: Often characterized by distinctive chipped-stone technology, the Calf Creek cultural horizon made its first appearance in the central and southern plains of North America some six thousand years ago. Distributed over a known area of more than 500,000 square miles, it is one of the largest post-Paleoindian archaeological cultural complexes identified to date.One of the most notable aspects of Calf Creek culture is its distinctive, deeply notched bifaces, many of which show evidence of heat-treating. Recent targeted dating suggests that these unique traits, which required exacting knapping and other techniques for production, arose in a relatively narrow window, sometime around 5,950–5,700 calendar years before the present. Given the wide geographical distribution of Calf Creek artifacts, however, researchers surmise that these technological innovations, once adopted, spread fairly quickly throughout the associated cultural groups.Editors Jon C. Lohse, Marjorie A. Duncan, and Don G. Wyckoff have collected in this comprehensive volume much of what is currently known about the Calf Creek cultural horizon. In a collaboration involving professional and academic archaeologists, landowners, and avocationalists, The Calf Creek Horizon brings together for the first time in a single source fine details of geographic distribution, regional variability, typology, and technological aspects of Calf Creek material culture. This first-ever “big picture” view will inform and direct related research for years to come.

Описание: Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the New York Times bestselling Green Rider series, The Dream Gatherer introduces readers to new sides of Sacoridia in two new short stories and a novella.
In the 1950s, anthropologist Colin Turnbull lived among the pygmies of the Congo river for three years - this is his account of life among the tribespeople.
Adventurous as a young man, at the time he moved to the Congo Turnbull already had several years' experience of Africa and its rural cultures. Seeking to shed insight on the pygmy peoples for a wider audience, he sought a home in one of the villages and introduced himself to the locals. Quickly becoming popular in the locality for his courtesy and respectful manners, Turnbull kept a diary and took photographs of the locals, noting their customs and dynamics as a tribal community.
The interplay between males and females of the tribe are detailed, with rivalries and conflicts between the younger pygmies. Marriage and the duties therein define the tribe, with complex customs existing between existing and prospective couples. As the tribes live as hunter gatherers, it is necessary for a number of men to be skilled in gathering meat, fruits and vegetables, together with honeycomb - a substance prized by the pygmies for its deliciousness.
Turnbull does not bog down his narrative in academic jargon or complex nuance; rather we find an informal, at times even casual, account of life in a forest tribe. We receive a sense of the personalities and priorities accorded; this readability undoubtedly helps us better comprehend the pygmies' lives.
