Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jungle Jade: An Adventure Novel By: H. Stuart Morrison with Brenda Morrison Zeller When the silver plane crashes into the wet, stifling greenness of the Brazilian Amazon jungle, Mary Smithfield, daughter of a wealthy American industrialist, is the sole survivor. With her unusual green eyes and flaming red gold hair, the down-on-his-luck prospector who finds Mary mistakes her for a White Goddess - a member of the mythical Amazon warrior women’s tribe. He’s determined to return her to them in their secret mountain fortress behind the Seven Waterfalls. Set in a remote, uncharted part of the Brazilian Amazon jungle, Jungle Jade is a grand adventure in a complex, dangerous world full of wild animals and Indian tribes yet uncivilized, where every decision can mean the difference between life and death. This swashbuckling tale of captures, daring rescues, escapes, twists and turns of fortune is the story of people pushed to their limits. For all of them, it will be a journey of discovery – not only of gold, diamonds, jade and lost civilizations, but the power of the Brazilian jungle and the discovery of the fortitude and courage within each of them, their true essence. Jungle Jade was written and set in 1963, co-written by the author and his daughter, and published posthumously as a tribute to a man who had more than a few adventures of his own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first in-depth piece of reportage about the largest natural resource heist in Asia reveals Myanmar's world of secret-keepers and truth-tellers. In Myanmar, where civil war, repressive government, and the $40 billion a year jade industry have shaped life for decades, everyone is fighting for their own version of the truth. Until the World Shatters, takes us deep into a world in which journalists seek to overcome censorship and intimidation, ethnic minorities wage guerilla war against a government they claim refuses to grant basic human rights; devout Buddhists launch violent anti-Muslim campaigns; and artists try to build their own havens of free expression. In the bustling city of Yangon we meet Phoe Wa, a young photojournalist pursuing his dream at a time when the government is jailing reporters and nationalist voices are on the rise. In Myanmar's far north, we meet Bum Tsit who is caught between the insurgent army his family supports and the business and military leaders his career depends on. His attempt to get rich quickly leads him to Myanmar's biggest, worst kept secret: the connection between the jade industry and the longest running war in the world. Until the World Shatters weaves Phoe Wa and Bum Tsit's stories to reveal a larger portrait of Myanmar's history, politics, and people in a time and place where public trust has disappeared.

Download or read book Landscape and Agency written by Ed Wall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landscape and Agency explores how landscape, as an idea, a visual medium and a design practice, is organized, appropriated and framed in the transformation of places, from the local to the global. It highlights how the development of the idea of agency in landscape theory and practice can fundamentally change our engagement with future landscapes. Including a wide range of international contributions, each illustrated chapter investigates the many ways in which the relationship between the ideas and practices of landscape, and social and subjective formations and material processes, are invested with agency. They critically examine the role of landscape in processes of contemporary urban development, environmental debate and political agendas and explore how these relations can be analysed and rethought through a dialogue between theory and practice.
