Download or read book Bela Joe written by Margaret Saunders and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La vera Bela 'Joe' ( Ĝo ) estis mezgranda, bruna kaj miksrasa hundo. Li estis origine posedata de viraĉo de la urbo Meaford, en Ontario, Kanado, kiu kruele misuzis lin kaj eĉ fortranĉis liajn orelojn kaj voston. Walter Moore savis la hundon en 1890 de probabla morto, perforta kaj dolora. En 1892, Margaret Marshall Saunders (1861–1947), unue eksciis pri 'Bela JOE' kiam ŝi vizitis sian fraton kaj lian edzinon, Louise Moore. Saunders estis tiel kortuŝata de la parola informo pri Joe, ke ŝi decidis verki longan rakonton en formo de aŭtobiografio. Ŝi volis ke 'Bela Joe' rakontu kortuŝe siajn vivospertojn per sia propra hunda voĉo. Kiam ŝi legis pri literatura konkurso de la 'Usona Humana Eduka Societo', Marshal Saunders alilokigis la lokon de la rakonto al la usona ŝtato Maine ( Mejn ) kaj ŝanĝis la nomon de la familio de Moore al Morris. La romano gajnis la unuan lokon kaj estis eldonita en 1893 kiam alia rakonto el vidpunkto de besto 'Nigra Belulino' ( Black Beauty ) de Anna Sewell jam fariĝis klasika verko kiu simile permesis al la leganto eniri la menson de la besto kaj senti pli da simpatio ol priskribo prezentita laŭ rekta dokumenta maniero. Ĝis 1900, pli ol 800,000 vendiĝis en Usono, 40,000 en Kanado kaj 100,000 en Britio.

Download or read book Ruth First and Joe Slovo in the War Against Apartheid written by Alan Wieder and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ruth First and Joe Slovo, husband and wife, were leaders of the war to end apartheid in South Africa. Communists, scholars, parents, and uncompromising militants, they were the perfect enemies for the white police state. Together they were swept up in the growing resistance to apartheid, and together they experienced repression and exile. Their contributions to the liberation struggle, as individuals and as a couple, are undeniable. Ruth agitated tirelessly for the overthrow of apartheid, first in South Africa and then from abroad, and Joe directed much of the armed struggle carried out by the famous Umkhonto we Sizwe. Only one of them, however, would survive to see the fall of the old regime and the founding of a new, democratic South Africa. This book, the first extended biography of Ruth First and Joe Slovo, is a remarkable account of one couple and the revolutionary moment in which they lived. Alan Wieder’s deeply researched work draws on the usual primary and secondary sources but also an extensive oral history that he has collected over many years. By weaving the documentary record together with personal interviews, Wieder portrays the complexities and contradictions of this extraordinary couple and their efforts to navigate a time of great tension, upheaval, and revolutionary hope.

Download or read book Pet Projects written by Elizabeth Young and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2019-12-17 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Pet Projects, Elizabeth Young joins an analysis of the representation of animals in nineteenth-century fiction, taxidermy, and the visual arts with a first-person reflection on her own scholarly journey. Centering on Margaret Marshall Saunders, a Canadian woman writer once famous for her animal novels, and incorporating Young’s own experience of a beloved animal’s illness, this study highlights the personal and intellectual stakes of a “pet project” of cultural criticism. Young assembles a broad archive of materials, beginning with Saunders’s novels and widening outward to include fiction, nonfiction, photography, and taxidermy. She coins the term “first-dog voice” to describe the narrative technique of novels, such as Saunders’s Beautiful Joe, written in the first person from the perspective of an animal. She connects this voice to contemporary political issues, revealing how animal fiction such as Saunders’s reanimates nineteenth-century writing about both feminism and slavery. Highlighting the prominence of taxidermy in the late nineteenth century, she suggests that Saunders transforms taxidermic techniques in surprising ways that provide new forms of authority for women. Young adapts Freud to analyze literary representations of mourning by and for animals, and she examines how Canadian writers, including Saunders, use animals to explore race, ethnicity, and national identity. Her wide-ranging investigation incorporates twenty-first as well as nineteenth-century works of literature and culture, including recent art using taxidermy and contemporary film. Throughout, she reflects on the tools she uses to craft her analyses, examining the state of scholarly fields from feminist criticism to animal studies. With a lively, first-person voice that highlights experiences usually concealed in academic studies by scholarly discourse—such as detours, zigzags, roadblocks, and personal experience—this unique and innovative book will delight animal enthusiasts and academics in the fields of animal studies, gender studies, American studies, and Canadian studies.
Download or read book Baby Birds written by Julie Zickefoose and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you’ve ever wondered what goes on in bird nests, or what happens after a fledgling leaves the nest, come along on Julie’s sensitive exploration of often-uncharted ornithological ground. This beautiful book is as much an art book as it is a natural history, something readers have come to expect from Julie Zickefoose. More than 400 watercolor paintings show the breathtakingly swift development of seventeen different species of wild birds. Sixteen of those species nest on Julie's wildlife sanctuary, so she knows the birds intimately, and writes about them with authority. To create the bulk of this extraordinary work, Julie would borrow a wild nestling, draw it, then return it to its nest every day until it fledged. Some were orphans she raised by hand, giving the ultimate insider’s glimpse into their lives. In sparkling prose, Julie shares a lifetime of insight about bird breeding biology, growth, and cognition. As an artist and wildlife rehabilitator, Julie possesses a unique skill set that includes sketching and painting rapidly from life as well as handling delicate hatchlings. She is uniquely positioned to create such an opus, and in fact, nothing like it has ever been attempted. Julie has many fans, and she will gain many more with this unparalleled work.

Book excerpt: In the 21st Century the face of war had changed. Atomic weapons -- out! Bazookas and rockets—nyet! Machine guns—maybe. The newest secret weapon—gliders! East and West had managed an uneasy truce in the arms race by banning ail weapons developed before 1900—and restricting wars to local disputes between corporations or companies and unions. It was a crazy way of doing things, but it worked—until an ambitious Major upset the apple cart, and threw the world's peace into deadly peril! In this exciting picture of the next century, veteran science-fiction writer MACK REYNOLDS combines mastery of a unique setting with a fast-action story of combat and intrigue.

Download or read book The Bluebird Effect written by Julie Zickefoose and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2012-03-20 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julie Zickefoose lives for the moment when a wild, free living bird that she has raised or rehabilitated comes back to visit her; their eyes meet and they share a spark of understanding. Her reward for the grueling work of rescuing birds—such as feeding baby hummingbirds every twenty minutes all day long—is her empathy with them and the satisfaction of knowing the world is a birdier and more beautiful place. The Bluebird Effect is about the change that's set in motion by one single act, such as saving an injured bluebird—or a hummingbird, swift, or phoebe. Each of the twenty five chapters covers a different species, and many depict an individual bird, each with its own personality, habits, and quirks. And each chapter is illustrated with Zickefoose's stunning watercolor paintings and drawings. Not just individual tales about the trials and triumphs of raising birds, The Bluebird Effect mixes humor, natural history, and memoir to give readers an intimate story of a life lived among wild birds.
