Download or read book Magic Island written by Elizabeth Waterston and published by Oxford University Press Canada. This book was released on 2008 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L.M.Montgomery grew up in Prince Edward Island, a real place of "politics and potatoes." But it's her fictional island, a richly textured imaginative landscape that has captivated a world of readers since 1908, when Anne of Green Gables became the first of Montgomery's long string of bestsellers. In this wide-ranging and highly readable book, Elizabeth Waterston uses the term "magic" to suggest that peculiar, indefinable combination of attributes that unpredictably results in creative genius. Montgomery's intelligence, her drive, and her sense of humour are essential components of this success. Waterston also features what Montgomery called her "dream life," a "strange inner life of fancy which had always existed side by side with my outer life." This special ability to look beyond the veil, to access vibrant inner vistas, produced deceptively layered fictions out of a life that saw not just its share of both fame and ill fortune, but also what Waterston calls "dark passions." A true reader's guide, Magic Island explores the world of L.M. Montgomery in a way never done before. Each chapter of Magic Island discusses a different Montgomery book, following their progression chronologically. Waterston draws parallels between Montgomery's internal "island," her personal life, her professional career, and the characters in her novels. Designed to be read alongside the new biography of Montgomery by Mary Rubio, this is the first book to reinterpret Montgomery's writing in light of important new information about her life. A must-read for any Montgomery fan, Magic Island offers a fresh and insightful look at the world of L.M. Montgomery and the "magic" of artistic creation.

Book excerpt: Step into the wonderful world of the Magic Islands for the third time, as the magical, mystical educational series continues... Still too much of a handful, even when captive, the naughty Purple Wizards are once again exiled for their environmental crimes - this time to a mythical land which shouldn't exist, a land of extinct animals and ancient fictional beasts. A land where time has suddenly stood still, caused by the same lunar eclipse which brought them there... Wizard Ambrosious needs help to start time up again - or half the Land of Now and Then will be in perpetual darkness, the other half perpetual light, and nothing will grow or thrive. He again needs the help of a particular group of schoolchildren, from a particular school in White Stone Town, Wales... So, Stefan and Megan, this time with their friend Trevor, are called on once more to save the Magic Islands from climate catastrophe, by helping to find a missing magical Box of Secrets and its Golden Key. Their investigation will introduce them to a host of long-extinct animals of Planet Earth: a Gigantopithecus, a Dodo, a Parasaulophus, and the inhabitants - both terrifying and friendly - of fearsome Dinosaur Country. Join them as both they and the Purple Wizards learn all about these real and legendary creatures, finding friendship and purpose along the way - and perhaps saving the Land of Now and Then from its inevitable end...

Download or read book A Magic Web written by and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tropical forest of Panama's Barro Colorado Island is a luxuriant community of plants and animals, pulsating with life and offering an astonishing view of nature's myriad processes. What does the forest look like? How do the activities of the forest's plants and animals create a community? In A Magic Web, photographer Christian Ziegler and evolutionary biologist Egbert Giles Leigh, Jr., invite readers to enter the marvelous world of Barro Colorado Island. This book is a unique combination of spectacular photography and clear, authoritative text written by an active scientist who has spent half a lifetime trying to understand the tropical forest. Luscious photographs of the forest reveal the wonderful diversity of its inhabitants and show many of the activities that give it its character and lend structure to its community. Drawing on decades of work on Barro Colorado Island, Egbert Leigh explains how the forest works: how plants and animals compete with but also depend on each other; how the solitary lives of cats contrast with the intricately organized lives of armies of ants; the variety of ways plants struggle for a place in the sun; and how these plants attract animals to pollenate their flowers. Finally, the book shows the importance of tropical forests to the people living near them, why they matter to the world at large, what we can learn from them, and how they differ from temperate-zone forests. Full of stunning full-color photographs accompanied by clear and accessible text, A Magic Web is a must for anyone planning to visit a tropical forest and for all those who wish they could.

Book excerpt: This is some part extract from the story...(Journey to the Magic Island)...Whatever I said she didn't listen, but rowing into the storm. Ten minutes later, a thin trickle of blood ran down from a cut in her hand. She didn't look at it-she just kept rowing. Now her blood flew like a brook from her hands and it went all the way down to the bowl of the boat creating a small pond of blood, the blood that drummed my heart so hard. I couldn't stand to watch her do this crazy thing anymore......'Do you see the island you are looking for?' I asked her in a very loud voice across the electrical charge in the funnel of the storm. 'Yes, we are very close to it, ' she happily said as if the storm was a kind of her transportation. When we were about to meet the funnel of the storm, the wind turned wild, tried to lift us up, but the water at the bottom seemed to suck us down into the bottom of the sea. Then the bow of the boat fell into the funnel and it spun around the cone in funnel form. One moment later, the boat was snapped and we all kick out into the sea.......I woke up and felt the gentle sound of waves lapping the sand near my ears. I opened my eyes and promptly shifted away from the scorching sun. I staggered up to the beach and sank myself down under a tall tree and looked back into the sea. Three small blurred islands appeared in front of me. I slowly closed and opened my eyes for several times, before I could see the perfect view of those islands, beautiful like paradise. I unhurriedly gazed to the left and saw lines of tall trees, closely grown to one another. And at the far end of the island in which I was sitting on, emerged another small island out in the sea. I turned to the right and everything was the same-thick forest, tall trees and another small island out in the sea. As I noticed from left to right for a couple of times, I noticed that the big island in which I was sitting on was half circled by the five small islands. So in total, there were six islands-five small islands and one big island I was sitting on. The island itself was remarkably old and it was left here alone in the middle of nowhere for nature to concur and for trees in all sizes and shapes to grow freely on the land. The terrible storm had brought me here on this paradise island....
