Excerpt: ...the genuine moose; but now, when a crazy Moose is after us--well, there isn't quite so much fun in it. It may be that that cry is a signal that he has started on the back track, and is coming; so let us travel, and keep on the look-out." The lads felt a certain exhilaration over the success that had attended the attempt to escape from the Moose, and they now strode along at a faster gait than usual, conscious that daylight must be at hand. When they spoke it was in a low voice, and they listened as they walked, their hopes constantly rising as time passed, and nothing was seen or heard of their captor. Recalling, as well as they were able, the route followed since their encampment, they were sanguine that the stream over which they were journeying was a tributary of the Penobscot, and ultimately reached the Atlantic. Accordingly they made the best time possible, not pausing for more than a minute or two until they saw by the increasing light that day was breaking. Strive as much as they might, they knew it was impossible to conceal their trail from the Moose. Accustomed as he was to ranging the forest in all directions, at all seasons, he would follow them as readily as if they were upon skates, and were the first to pass over the glassy surface. Thus i was that daylight brought with it additional trepidation, and increased their anxiety to rejoin Pierre, the king of the woods. But they were now proceeding at random, as it may be said, doubtful whether every step was making less or greater the distance between him and them. "I think we would better lie by till night, again, or else get off this creek," suggested Clarence, after they had walked for some time. ' This is too plain a road for the Moose to follow, and I can't...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theodosia Throckmorton has her hands full at the Museum of Legends and Antiquities in London. Her father may be head curator, but it is Theo--and only Theo--who is able to see all the black magic and ancient curses that still cling to the artifacts in the museum. When Theo’s mother returns from her latest archaeological dig bearing the Heart of Egypt--a legendary amulet belonging to an ancient tomb--Theo learns that it comes inscribed with a curse so black and vile that it threatens to crumble the British Empire from within and start a war too terrible to imagine. Intent on returning the malevolent artifact to its rightful place, Theo devises a daring plan to put things right. But even with the help of her younger brother, a wily street urchin, and the secret society known as the Brotherhood of the Chosen Keepers, it won’t be easy . . . she quickly finds herself pursued down dark alleys, across an ocean, through the bustling crowds of Cairo, and straight into the heart of an ancient mystery. Theo will have to call upon everything she’s ever learned in order to prevent the rising chaos from destroying her country--and herself!

Download or read book A Complex Culture of the British Columbia Plateau written by Brian Hayden and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early hunter/gatherer societies have traditionally been considered basically egalitarian in nature. This assumption, however, has been challenged by contemporary archaeological and anthropological research, which has demonstrated that many of these societies had complex social, economic, and political structures. This volume considers two British Columbia Native communities -- the Lillooet and Shuswap communities of Fountain and Pavilion - and traces their development into complex societies. The authors explore the relation between resource characteristics and hunter/gatherer adaptations and examine the use of fish, animal, and plant species, documenting their availability and the techniques used in their gathering, processing, and storing. The book also shows how cultural practices, such as raiding, potlatching, and stewardship of resources, can be explained from a cultural ecological point of view. An important contribution to the study of hunting and gathering cultures in the Northwest, this book is the most detailed examination of the subsistence base of a particular hunting and gathering group to date. Its exploration of the reasons why complex hunting and gathering societies emerge, as well as the ecological relationships between cultures and resources, will make an important contribution to the study of cultural ecology and contemporary archaeology.
