Download or read book Island Voices Shelter Island 1655 2010 written by Carol Galigan and published by ibooks. This book was released on 2010-10-14 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Island Voices," edited by Carol Galligan, choreographs the story of Shelter Island through the eyes of its inhabitants. From the words of former New York State governor, Hugh Carey, to John Miller's interview with Osama Bin Laden, Galligan takes the reader through the history of Shelter Island, past and present. In June of 2005, I started working at the Shelter Island Reporter as an editorial assistant. In March of 2006, our then-editor, Peter Boody, assigned me the Island Profile series, to appear weekly year-round. When our now-editor, Cara Loriz, was appointed in January of 2007, I was promoted to Feature Writer, the position I’ve held since.In 2007, I encountered the Shelter Island Historical Society’s vault and was enthralled. So many voices! All so silent and yet so deeply dramatic and moving. “Voices From the Vault,” a performance piece which I then wrote and directed, with the invaluable help of my son, Zach Galligan, opened at Havens House in December of 2007. “Voices III” is planned for the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend, 2010. It was inevitable that many of the “voices” in “Voices” would find their way to the Reporter, as indeed they have. The two streams have come together in this book, “Island Voices.” But it was not my idea. Ed Brown (that’s Councilman Edward Brown) stopped me one morning last fall. He liked a piece I’d written the week before. “Carol, everyone loves that old stuff. And the profiles, too. You have to get all that stuff together and put it in a book, make it a benefit for something.” When I pointed out that I didn’t own anything that appeared under my byline, he was dismissive. “There’s got to be a way around that.” There was.

Download or read book Island Voices written by John Charles Kennedy and published by Eburon Uitgeverij B.V.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like their counterparts in developing countries, rural people living on the periphery of developed nations are increasingly vulnerable to forces beyond their control. Farmers, miners, and fishermen must cope with periodic resource scarcities, fluctuating global markets, and neoliberal trade pacts. Island Voices explores this struggle through the perspective of people living on Arnøya, an island off northern Norway. John C. Kennedy spent years collecting their stories, each of which offers resounding proof of how change, both local and global, has unevenly benefited the island's four villages.

Download or read book Island Voices written by Ann Mackenzie and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on North Mull - north of Glen More, but excluding Craignure, Torosay and Brolas - this book is an anthology of the tales and traditions of Mull in the words of those who tell them. The writing covers belief and superstitions, pastimes, work, health and cures, tales and proverbs. The subjects are taken from a wide range of sources and periods, from Martin Martin in the 17th century to writing which dates from the end of World War II, a time which saw much change in Gaelic society as a whole. The material covers traditions and accounts of a very practical and often harsh existence, variations on tales which are more obscure as well as those that are well known. The book is a celebration of a people that are often excluded from the standard historical accounts of the clans and Highlands, but who have endured much and safeguarded an important heritage.

Download or read book Asia and Pacific Small States Monitor August 2014 written by Ms.Shari Boyce and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue of the Asia & Pacific Small States Monitor focuses on the challenges facing Asia and Pacific small states associated with natural disasters and climate change. Most tourism-oriented economies experienced a robust increase in arrivals, partly reflecting country-specific factors. Among commodity exporters (Bhutan, Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste) and other Asia and Pacific small states, growth remains uneven: robust activity in Bhutan was driven mainly by hydropower-related construction activities; Solomon Islands experienced a continuing decline of logging stocks and a short-term disruption of gold production; and Timor-Leste’s ongoing depletion of oil reserves has led to a tighter budget constraint and lower government spending in the non-oil sector.

Download or read book Protected Area Management written by Mohd Nazip Suratman and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2022-03-16 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently, values and benefits from protected areas have often been underestimated as well as taken for granted. Protected Area Management - Recent Advances demonstrates that there are deep necessities in how the wider scientific, environmental, socioeconomic, and cultural values that these natural ecosystems provide should increasingly be recognized. The book highlights various approaches for managing and conserving protected areas to respond to some pressing global challenges such as climate change, demand for food and energy, overexploitation, and habitat change. It addresses these issues in five main sections that cover biodiversity and genetic resources; protected marine areas; community, ecotourism, and protected areas; and protected area conservation and monitoring.

Download or read book Globalisation and Governance in the Pacific Islands written by Stewart Firth and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2006-12-01 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Pacific Islands are feeling the effects of globalisation. Free trade in sugar and garments is threatening two of Fiji's key industries. At the same time other opportunities are emerging. Labour migration is growing in importance, and Pacific governments are calling for more access to Australia's labour market. Fiji has joined Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu and Kiribati as a remittance economy, with thousands of its citizens working overseas. Meantime, Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands grapple with an older kind of globalisation in which overseas companies exploit mineral and forest resources. The Pacific Islands confront unique problems of governance in this era of globalisation. The modern, democratic state often fits awkwardly with traditional ways of doing politics in that part of the world. Just as often, politicians in the Pacific exploit tradition or invent it to serve modern political purposes. The contributors to this volume examine Pacific globalisation and governance from a wide range of perspectives. They come from Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Hawai'i, the Federated States of Micronesia, Samoa, Fiji, New Zealand and Jamaica as well as Australia."--Publisher's description.
