Download or read book The Lords of the Savannah written by Christine Denis-Huot and published by White Star Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leopards and cheetahs embody the wild beauty of Africa. In this spectacular photographic study, the husband-and-wife team of distinguished naturalists Christine and Michel Denis-Hout provides readers with a rare glimpse into the everyday lives of these compelling creatures. Their exceptional photography vividly brings to life the excitement of a young cheetah's first hunt, the languid relaxation of a leopard's midday nap, and the sheer strength and beauty of these glorious big cats in their natural habitat. The cheetah's legendary speed is documented in a series of exceptional photographs, while the leopard's notorious stealth can be felt in depictions of it's sinuous descent from a perch high in a tree. Everyday activities such as courting, grooming, and caring for their young are captured in unprecedented close-ups. The gleaming fangs of a yawning leopard, the intensity of a pouncing cheetah, and the golden grasses of the savannah trampled by a herd of retreating zebra are just some of the evocative sights conveyed in Lords of the Savannah. The lively text provides the latest findings on the habits and habitats of leopards and cheetahs, and expresses the authors' admiration and affection for these animals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history of African slavery from the fifteenth to the early twentieth century examines how indigenous African slavery developed within an international context. Professor Lovejoy discusses the medieval Islamic slave trade and the Atlantic trade as well as the enslavement process and the marketing of slaves.

The new edition incorporates recent research, revised statistics on the slave trade demography, and an updated bibliography.
Download or read book From Coastal Wilderness to Fruited Plain written by Gordon G. Whitney and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-08-29 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Coastal Wilderness to Fruited Plain is an account of the making of a large part of the American landscape following European settlement. Drawing upon land survey records and early travellers' accounts, Dr Whitney reconstructs the 'virgin' forests and grasslands of the north-eastern and central United States during the pre-settlement period. He then documents successively the clearance and fragmentation of the region's woodlands, the harvest of the forest and its game, the ploughing of the prairies, and the draining of wetlands. The degree to which these activities altered the soil, climate, plant and animal communities, and water cycle are evaluated, and the sustainability of present-day ecosystems is brought into question in this account.

Download or read book From the Secret Nook to the Mountain Log House written by Dorothy Murray and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-11-20 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sergeant Kenkorry thought he’d found the perfect hideout in a secret log house in the dark wilderness of Deadman’s Mountain. He’d been sought for atrocities against his fellow sergeants and many innocent civilians in his war-torn country of Korenith. The sergeant, a fugitive and the subject of a worldwide manhunt, had remained in his mountain hideout until justice found him. A mysterious incident in the dead of night brought an end to the fugitive and his wife. His daughter escaped to the nearby town, while his son, Christopher, remained as a sole mountain derelict. The end had justified the means when Christopher viciously kidnapped Savanna on the eve of her wedding. While Savanna tried to come to grips with her kidnapping, particularly her missed wedding, she’d striven to assume motherly responsibilities in the log house. It wasn’t long before love and romance sparked between her and her kidnapper. Meanwhile, the true identity of her kidnapper’s father—the alleged, Hornett Brentkham, and his family—was unraveled when secret documents were uncovered in the log house. The hopes and dreams of the inseparable young folk to live their lives of love and romance in the log house sanctuary, however, ended when Christopher was recaptured and returned to prison. With the mystery of the fugitive, Sergeant Kenkorry, now unraveled and Savanna released from her kidnapper, her love had become wedged between her kidnapper and Harry, her future husband and a son of noble and wealthy heritage. The questions therefore lingered. Will Savanna resume her wedding plans and wed Harry? Will she wait in earnest hope for Christopher, a convicted murderer, a kidnapper on his way back to prison, where he will serve twenty years with no chance of parole, an avid sleepwalker who’s prone to commit vicious crimes in his sleep? Harry’s struggles to clear her twisted mind with hopes that their wedding can proceed have just begun.

Download or read book Tongnaab written by Jean Allman and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2005-11-18 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many Africanist historians, traditional religion is simply a starting point for measuring the historic impact of Christianity and Islam. In Tongnaab, Jean Allman and John Parker challenge the distinction between tradition and modernity by tracing the movement and mutation of the powerful Talensi god and ancestor shrine, Tongnaab, from the savanna of northern Ghana through the forests and coastal plains of the south. Using a wide range of written, oral, and iconographic sources, Allman and Parker uncover the historical dynamics of cross-cultural religious belief and practice. They reveal how Tongnaab has been intertwined with many themes and events in West African history -- the slave trade, colonial conquest and rule, capitalist agriculture and mining, labor migration, shifting ethnicities, the production of ethnographic knowledge, and the political projects that brought about the modern nation state. This rich and original book shows that indigenous religion has been at the center of dramatic social and economic changes stretching from the slave trade to the tourist trade.

Download or read book The Georgia South Carolina Boundary written by Louise De Vorsey and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1732, when Georgia was created out of South Carolina territory, the boundary between the two states has been disputed. This controversy reignited in the 1970s, culminating in a suit filed by Georgia in the U. S. Supreme Court to ascertain the location of the true boundary line between the states. De Vorsey's book grows out of this controversy and is a detailed examination of the historical geography of that boundary. After reviewing the events that led to the 1977 litigation, De Vorsey provides a detailed analysis of Georgia's original charter and the 1787 Treaty of Beaufort--two documents crucial to an understanding of the dispute. Using documentary and cartographic resources, he reconstructs the geographical conditions that existed at the time the documents were drafted and investigates how eighteenth-century Georgians and South Carolinians perceived these conditions. In the course of his inquiry he discusses the tremendous natural forces that have sculpted and re-sculpted the unstable shorelines and islands formed by geologically youthful delta sediments. He considers, too, the impact of man on the environment as he attempted to control nature and improve navigability on the Savannah River. The study concludes with a discussion of the particular areas of the Savannah River's shores and islands involved in the Supreme Court litigation.

They will all be given universes to live in by The God of Israel. Jesus was Melchizedec ( Heb 7). So He must have been King of Salem in Genesis. Jesus was also King over the Canaanites ! Satan has never been to hell and when he does go there at the Second coming it is to be beaten and thrown out of hell by the inhabitants thereof. (Is 14). The Bible says it took God Generations (Gen 2:4)- not just Seven days to create the earth. That means Evolutionists are right about the time span and method. Theologians misunderstood. God designed and guided Evolutionary process is correct. Generations is to be noted. Where is Jesus? Whatever happened to the end time war between Christians and the U.S.S.R.?

Download or read book Lawful Conquest written by Constanze Weiske and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-10-04 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global expansion of European colonization is commonly perceived as lawful according to the valid European colonial law of the time. This book is substantially challenging this belief by uncovering its legal justifications based on discovery and terra nullius as retrospectively created legal fictions and demonstrating it ́s untenability in practice. Focused on the critical reconstruction of Spanish and Dutch colonization practices in northeastern South America, Trinidad and Tobago between 1498 and 1817, the book offers an illuminating view on the European shadow of the colonial past in the Americas. Based on the application of an innovative comparative spatio-legal Global History approach to 1,770 excavated European colonial written sources from archives of both sides of the Atlantic in comparison to the colonial legal provisions of Europe ́s most influential legal writers, the book, moreover, provides a substantial argument to the contemporary Caribbean-European reparation debate in favor of the return of Indigenous Peoples ́ historical territories. Therefore, the book calls for the extension of the traditional territory approach to reparations of the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIPs) and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR).
Download or read book Port Cities of the Atlantic World written by Jacob Steere-Williams and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2023-12-14 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traces the maritime routes and the historical networks that link port cities around the Atlantic world Port Cities of the Atlantic World brings together a collection of essays that examine the centuries-long transatlantic transportation of people, goods, and ideas with a focus on the impact of that trade on what would become the American South. Employing a wide temporal range and broad geographic scope, the scholars contributing to this volume call for a sea-facing history of the South, one that connects that terrestrial region to this expansive maritime history. By bringing the study up to the 20th century in the collection's final section, the editors Jacob Steere-Williams and Blake C. Scott make the case for the lasting influence of these port cities—and Atlantic world history—on the economy, society, and culture of the contemporary South.
