Download or read book The Qwarriors written by Linda Fitch and published by . This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Qwarriors: A Conservation Tale." is an engaging book written by Linda Fitch. It tells the story of an environmental battle that took place between 1995 and 1998 next to her family property on Isle La Motte, Vermont, a tiny island in Lake Champlain. It was a war waged between a company seeking to reopen a limestone quarry which had lain dormant for many years and neighbors who dreaded the negative impacts that they believed the mining operation would engender. Vermont's environmental legislation was, at the time, among the most progressive in the nation. Even so battles between developers and ordinary citizens were arduous and the ordinary citizen fighting development rarely emerged victorious. In this account, mis-statements--if not outright false statements-- on the part of those who supplied information for permits to re-open the quarry, made it very difficult for citizens, without the funds to hire legal assistance and expert witnesses, to prevail.Linda Fitch organized neighbors, friends, and expert witnesses who volunteered time and expertise to an all consuming, legal battle and who, becoming over time a tightly knit team, called themselves the "Qwarriors." They comprised a motley group from varying walks of life with a sprinkling of genuine heroes including a tubby citizen from the other end of the state, a passionate environmental advocate who, without any legal training, had prevailed in a number of cases and was known by developers throughout Vermont as "the ordinary citizen from hell." As this particular eco battle stretched out over the course of three years, it assumed wider public interest as it became known that the site to be quarried contained remnants of an ancient fossil reef--known by scientists world-wide as the oldest biologically diverse reef in the history of life on Earth. The author, a non-scientist who reports that she had gotten a "C" in freshman geology, gradually became knowledgeable about what scientists were telling her was an irreplaceable geological treasure of international significance.The story is embedded in the broad perspective of the environmental movement of the 19th and early 20th century, in the history of the small island of Isle La Motte, and in the history of the family property which was actually visited by Teddy Roosevelt on September 6, 1901-- the day on which President McKinley was shot. This historic event led, of course, to the presidency of Teddy Roosevelt, who has since been called "The Conservation President." The book, which takes its place among other riveting accounts of environmental battles, contains its share of both humor and personal tragedy. The story takes many twists and turns between the moment in August 1995 when Linda hears the jack hammer in the old Fisk Quarry to the cliff hanger ending on December 30, 1998. "The Qwarriors" is a story of community, of working together, sharing talents, skills, and knowledge and a deepening awareness of the environmental assault that one small development can have on one small place. Environmental historian Donald Hughes has written, "For anyone interested in conservationism, this is a must-read and an enjoyable one."

Book excerpt: The story of men and women who shaped the conservation movement in America, from the late 19th century to the present, is a story of controversy, failure, and intermittent triumph. Ironically, many of the dedicated leaders of the earliest animal protection movements were hunters themselves, motivated as much by a desire to enhance their sport as by conscience.

Download or read book Book Tales written by David G. Hallman and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2016-09-28 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I love to read books. I love to write books. So I decided to write a book about reading books, says David G. Hallman about this collection of short stories, each of which revolves around the characters interaction with a piece of literature. Combining fiction, creative non-fiction, and semifictionalized autobiography, Hallman has crafted tales that draw readers into his characters complex lives using the lens of books such as Paul Bowless The Sheltering Sky, John Le Carrs The Constant Gardener, E. M. Forsters Maurice, Patricia Nell Warrens The Front Runner, Robertson Daviess Fifth Business, and Hallmans own memoir August Farewell. Some of the stories focus specifically on the literary work. In others, the role of the book in the plot is quite subtle. The stories are emotionally engaging and intellectually stimulating with some being sexually explicit. Each one is a dramatic exploration of the joys and heartaches, the thrills and conflicts inherent in personal and social relationships. The connecting theme of the role of books illuminates linkages between art and life. The short stories in Book Tales with their gay plots and themes depict the characters finding insight, courage, and inspiration through a variety of literary works.
