Download or read book The Ice Hunters written by Shannon Ryan and published by Breakwater Books. This book was released on 1994 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demand for oil to light and lubricate the industrial world changed the face of much of the planet. Newfoundland was part of this widespread transformation as migratory cod fishermen settled here in the early 1800s in order to hunt seals in late winter and early spring. The seal fishery brought prosperity and growth and shaped this new society, but seal hunters and their families paid a heavy human cost in lives lost and suffering experienced. The traditional oil industries were doomed with the discovery of mineral oils and the ha essing of electricity, and Newfoundland-along with other societies-faced painful adjustments while searching for alte ative industries. However while its place in the economy declined, the seal fishery left an indelible imprint on Newfoundland's culture and identity. This study, with its tables, maps and illustrations, examines the history of the Newfoundland seal fishery from its origins up to 1914, ranging in scope from the life of the hunter on the ice flows to the demands of the consumer in the market place. Shannon Ryan was bo in riverhead, Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, and educated at Memorial University of Newfoundland (BA Ed, BA, and MA) and the University of London (PH). He worked for nine years as a schoolteacher and principal and in 1971 he was appointed to the faculty of History. His publications and presentations are in the fields of Newfoundland, Maritime, fisheries and oral history. He served as president of the Newfoundland Historical society during 1984-1988, as Newfoundland's representative on the Social sciences and humanities research council of Canada during 1989-1993 and was elected a fellow of the Royal society in 1988.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 21st century the companies that make stories seem increasingly uninterested in providing a satisfying product to what they see as an audience of captive fans. To free you from captive fandom, the Guide to Good Story will show you how the value of a story comes from “Three Dimensions.” The first dimension is appeal, which describes the value stories provide by stimulating our emotions and providing us with the kinds of experiences that we want to have. The second is quality, which describes how well or poorly a story provides the elements our brain needs to generate and maintain the “suspension of reality.” The third dimension, context, describes how factors outside of a story shape it and create value within the story. You will then learn how to use the three dimensions together to become an aficionado, someone who uses the Three Dimensions to find good stories for themselves.
