Download or read book Kangaroo Dundee written by Chris Barns and published by Hodder & Stoughton. This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brolga (aka Chris Barns) is the 6ft 7in strong but sensitive Aussie star of the extraordinary BBC series Kangaroo Dundee. Brolga lives in a simple tin shed in the outback where he raises orphaned baby kangaroos. It is a sad fact of life that kangaroo mothers are at the mercy of speeding cars in this part of the world - killed on the road, their young still tucked up in their pouches. These young joeys holding on to life, have been given a second chance thanks to the kindness and dedication of Brolga, who carefully retrieves them and nurses them back to health. Brolga has been rescuing these special creatures for years, slowly and painstakingly creating a kangaroo sanctuary for the many kangaroos he has saved, reared and loved. He has dedicated his life to observing how kangaroo mums care for their babies and does everything he can to replicate this. The baby kangaroos, traumatised by losing their mother so early, are tucked up into pillow cases and kept warm and comforted next to Brolga at night. We see him getting up at 4am to bottle feed them, washing them in a little tub, taking them to the supermarket and generally mothering them with heart breaking tenderness. Charting Brolga's life with the joeys and honing in on his relationship with one or two in particular, Kangaroo Dundee tells the heart-warming, sometimes funny, sometimes poignant story of one man's unique relationship with a group of extraordinary animals.

Download or read book Empirical Approaches to Cognitive Linguistics written by Milla Luodonpää-Manni and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection takes a cognitive linguistic view on analyzing language and presents innovative contemporary Finnish research to the international audience. The volume brings together nine chapters presenting empirical case studies that rely on various kinds of corpus data and experimental data or combine both types of empirical evidence. The topics vary from semantics to grammatical description, from terminological choices to language acquisition, and they study language from perspectives as diverse as psycholinguistics, comparative linguistics, and translation studies. A multi-methodological approach to linguistic research is promoted in this book. The idea is that language in all its diversity can best be studied by using the entire spectrum of modern quantitative and qualitative methods. It will appeal to academic readers, students, and established researchers, interested in the study of authentic linguistic material especially from the cognitive perspective.

Download or read book The Changing Face of Motherhood in Spain written by Catherine Bourland Ross and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-24 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the perceptions of motherhood in Spanish author Lucía Etxebarria’s fiction and offers views of the importance of motherhood in society. Traditional expectations for women as mothers persist despite the fact that they no longer match Spain’s cultural and economic reality. These issues of gender equality and societal perceptions stand out in the novels and screenplays of Etxebarria. Her work at times resists and at times affirms patriarchal constructs associated with traditional Spanish motherhood, and ultimately, I argue, enacts the very complexity of contemporary Spanish motherhood ideals. By showing the tension between the past constructs of the mother and the possible future outcomes of gender equality, Etxebarria’s works navigate the complexity between past and future, illuminating the current and future uncertainties and the ambivalent nature of change. Each chapter views motherhood from a different perspective and focuses on particular works of Etxebarria. Through the depiction of a variety of mother characters, these different perspectives, as showcased in Etxebarria’s narratives, together compose an understanding of Spanish maternal identity.
Download or read book Migrar o perecer written by Laura Millan Lombraña and published by Editorial UOC. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migrar o perecer perfila la Australia que se esconde tras el brillo de las olas en la piel bronceada de los jóvenes surfistas. Los protagonistas de este reportaje abandonaron el lugar donde nacieron y emprendieron el viaje a Australia con la esperanza de labrarse un futuro mejor. Ellos son la historia viva de este país joven moldeado a base de oleadas migratorias. A los primeros colonos británicos les siguieron italianos, griegos y españoles, vietnamitas, libaneses, indios y chinos.Hoy Australia es uno de los países con más diversidad cultural, lingüística y religiosa del mundo. Entre sus ciudadanos se cuentan más de trescientas nacionalidades, más de doscientos países de origen y más de doscientas lenguas. Un tercio de los habitantes nació en otro país y un 45 % son hijos de inmigrantes.Sobre el papel, Australia parece un experimento migratorio que ha triunfado. En realidad, es el laboratorio de pruebas para un fenómeno global, el del multiculturalismo, que sigue en fase de ensayo.Los nueve retratos de Migrar o perecer hablan de racismo, islamofobia, manipulación mediática y marginación. También de individuos que trabajan duro, que luchan por salir adelante, por dejar huella en un país que forja día a día su identidad.
