Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Endlessly fascinating, unpretentiously educational, thoughtfully accessible and beautifully presented" - Alex Tattersall, award-winning underwater photographer and the founder of Underwater Visions. The Coral Triangle, straddling the confluence of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, harbours the greatest biodiversity of marine life on the planet. It is home to a wondrous variety, including 75% of the world's coral species and around 2500 species of fish. The biological and environmental diversity is driven by the volcanically active and complex geology of the so called 'Ring of Fire'. Habitats range from underwater slopes of volcanic black sand to extensive coral reefs in atolls and vast calderas. While clearly vulnerable to increasing global threats such as climate change, pollution and overfishing, the Coral Triangle currently features some the richest coral reefs in the world. With stunning photography supported by an engaging and accessible text, this book highlights and celebrates this biodiversity along with the underlying message that it needs our care and protection before it is too late.

Download or read book The Sense Poem written by Gottfried Keller and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new 2023 translation of Gottfried Keller's famous The Sense Poem (original german title Das Sinngedicht) followed by an Afterword by the translator, a timeline of his life and works and an index of his works. The Sense Poem ("Das Sinngedicht" in German) is a novella cycle authored by Swiss poet Gottfried Keller. Its inception commenced in Berlin around 1851 when Keller conceived initial ideas, followed by the composition of introductory chapters in 1855. The major portion of the text, however, was crafted in Zurich during 1881, concomitant with its serialization in the "Deutsche Rundschau." The Sense Poem garnered substantial acclaim among contemporary readers and literary critics, becoming a pinnacle of his literary career. Keller's innovative structuring, including chapter titles reminiscent of Cervantes' "Don Quijote," imbues the work with a playful-ironic ambiance. The male protagonist's perspective shapes the framing narrative, analogous to Cervantes' Don Quijote, contributing to the novella cycle's narrative charm. Its initial success was underscored by successive editions, with reviewers likening the work's stature to that of Boccaccio's "Decameron." Boccaccio' was a major artistic influence at the time- Herman Hesse wrote a Pathographic essay on him and his influence in Germany. The cycle derives its name from an epigram, or "Sinngedicht," by Baroque poet Friedrich von Logau. The epigram reads "How will you turn white lilies into red roses? / Kiss a white galathee: she will laugh blushing!" and alludes to Galateia, the embodiment of female beauty's dual nature—provocative allure and tempering influence. Logau's composition serves as a poetic discourse on gallant advice. The cycle's seven novellas are entwined within a framing narrative—a love story set in the romantic environs of a 19th-century German university town. The protagonist, Herr Reinhart, a young naturalist, engages in a spirited exchange with Lucie, a hostess of wit and beauty. Through the exchange of Logau's epigram, they embark on a discussion revolving around the equality of genders in fostering successful marriages, evoking tales exemplifying diverse love choices. The narrative culminates in Reinhart and Lucie's burgeoning affection.

Download or read book The Coral Island written by R. Ballantyne and published by Рипол Классик. This book was released on 2015-09-08 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three teenage boys, the sole survivors of a shipwreck, find themselves marooned on a deserted island in the South Pacific. With little more than a telescope and a broken knife, the youths must find food and shelter and learn to survive. But though the coral island is a tropical paradise, full of natural beauty and exotic fruits and wildlife, dangers and adventures abound: sharks, pirates, and even bloodthirsty cannibals! Scottish-born R.M. Ballantyne (1825-1894) wrote more than ninety books for young people during the Victorian era, the most famous of which is The Coral Island (1857), a tale whose popularity has proved so enduring that it has never been out of print. A thrilling story in the tradition of Robinson Crusoe and a key influence on later classics such as Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island" and William Golding's "Lord of the Flies", "The Coral Island" is presented here in a new scholarly edition that includes the unabridged text of the first British edition, a new introduction and notes by Ralph Crane and Lisa Fletcher, and the original illustrations by the author.
