Описание:
Dingo Bold is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between people and dingoes. At its heart is Rowena Lennox's encounter with a dingo on the beach on K'gari (Fraser Island), a young male she nicknames Bold. Struck by this experience, and by the intense, often polarised opinions expressed in public conversations about dingo conservation and control, she sets out to understand the complex relationship between humans and dingoes.
Weaving together ecological data, interviews with people connected personally and professionally with K'gari's dingoes, and Lennox's expansive reading of literary, historical and scientific accounts, Dingo Bold considers what we know about the history of relations between dingoes and humans, and what preconceptions shape our attitudes today. Do we see dingoes as native wildlife or feral dogs? Wild or domesticated animals? A tourist attraction or a threat? And how do our answers to these questions shape our interactions with them?
Dingo Bold is both a moving memoir of love and loss through Lennox's observations of the natural world and an important contribution to wider conversations about conservation and animal welfare.
"Combining natural history, Indigenous culture, folklore, memoir, and environmental politics, this is an elegantly written and affectionate tribute to Australia's most maligned and least understood native animal." Jacqueline Kent
"Fuelled by empathy, curiosity and passion, and informed by research, data and observation, this moving and compelling book speaks to the heart and to the head. Rowena Lennox poses questions about our relationship with dingoes - and our role in the natural world - that are as bold and lively as her subject." Debra Adelaide

Описание: This is a series of anecdotes from my misspent youth as I went over to the dark side and got involved with motorcycles. If you are into motorcycles, planes, cars, and things to do with boats, I have a few stories to tell you. It is an interest in colonial Kenya and New Zealand life as seen in the eyes of a guy from long ago and far away. It has stories from my ninety-seven-year-old dad in Seychelles, his WWII service, his deals with his experiences in the Mau Mau Emergency in Kenya, and him bringing his family to New Zealand in the sixties. In the seventies and eighties, I served my twenty years in the RNZAF, putting down a lot of my mishaps and adventures in an interesting time domestically and overseas.

Описание: Schrodinger shows how the trichromatic (or Young-Helmholtz) theory of color and the opponent-process (or Hering) theory of color are formally the same theory, or at least only trivially different. These translations of Schrodinger`s bold concepts for color space have a fresh resonance and importance for contemporary color theory.

Описание: Much has been written about Roger Maris and the historic summer of 1961 when he broke Babe Ruth`s single-season home run record yet little is known about the pitchers on the other side of the tale. Drawing on first-hand accounts, interviews and a range of contemporary sources, this study covers each of Maris` 63 home runs that season.

Описание: When Norman Maclean sent the manuscript of A River Runs through It and Other Stories to New York publishers, he received a slew of rejections. One editor, so the story goes, replied, "it has trees in it." Forty years later, the title novella is recognized as one of the great American tales of the twentieth century, and Maclean as one of the most beloved writers of our time. The finely distilled product of a long life of often surprising rapture--for fly-fishing, for the woods, for the interlocked beauty of life and art--A River Runs through It has established itself as a classic of the American West. This new edition will introduce a fresh audience to Maclean's beautiful prose and understated emotional insights.
Elegantly redesigned, A River Runs through It includes a new foreword by Robert Redford, director of the Academy Award-winning 1992 film adaptation of River. Based on Maclean's own experiences as a young man, the book's two novellas and short story are set in the small towns and mountains of western Montana. It is a world populated with drunks, loggers, card sharks, and whores, but also one rich in the pleasures of fly-fishing, logging, cribbage, and family. By turns raunchy and elegiac, these superb tales express, in Maclean's own words, "a little of the love I have for the earth as it goes by."

Описание:
Have you ever wondered why baseball players are said to be In the Hole, Stepping in the Bucket, On the Bump, Flashing Leather or Getting on Their Horse?
Baseballedgy - Baseball Expressions & Terminology Handbook was written to explain to players and spectators the many fun, useful, and unique baseball terms and phrases. Baseball has carried down numerous phrases and terms and the language continues to expand. Most of the terms in the book are idioms, which means that they are completely different than what a person usually thinks of when they hear them. Examples of baseball idioms are Bullpen, Ducks on the Pond, Frozen Rope, Rolling a Pair, Hot Corner, Merry Go Round and Snow Cone. The book describes these terms and idioms related to the baseball field itself, along with those associated with batting, base running, pitching, and fielding.
Baseballedgy is full of colorful illustrations and is a fun book to read. It can serve as a "go-to" reference for young players who are learning the game and expanding their baseball related vocabulary. Reading the book together will provide children, families, and friends with an enjoyable and educational experience.
"What Andrew has done with the language of the game is refreshing to see. Baseball has carried down with it so many little phrases and it is still expanding That's what makes the game more than a game. It is the personal experiences within the dugout and locker room that we enjoy and remember for years and years. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. "Andrew, you hit a home run my friend " Howard "HoJo" Johnson
