Download or read book In My Family Tree written by Sheila Siddle and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sheila Siddle's life changed forever on one fateful day in 1983 when a local game ranger brought a battered, malnourished chimpanzee to the door of her cattle ranch in central Zambia and asked her to do whatever possible to save it. As Sheila and her husband, David, nursed the young chimp they would name Pal back to health, they cared for him as if he were a human infant-feeding him medicine and bottled milk, sharing their bed with him at night, and carrying him on their backs until he regained the strength to survive on his own. From these humble beginnings Sheila and David Siddle would go on to launch the Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage, a world-renowned animal refuge that has grown to become the largest chimpanzee sanctuary in the world. Over eighty-five injured and unwanted chimps have found a home there, along with dozens of monkeys, baboons, parrots, tortoises, and antelope-and one disarmingly domesticated hippopotamus named Billy. In My Family Tree is Sheila Siddle's vibrant, vivacious story of how Chimfunshi came to be-and the unforgettable chimps who have helped to make it, in the words of Jane Goodall, "the most wonderful place on earth." As she relates the experiences of the chimpanzees who have survived war, abandonment, and abuse at the hand of humanity before reclaiming their lives as part of the Chimfunshi family, Siddle vividly evokes each of their unique personalities. There is Milla, the wise elderly chimp Jane Goodall brings to the Siddles who, after living among humans for decades (and acquiring a taste for cigarettes and beer), must reintegrate into chimp society. There is Sandy, the mischievous troublemaker whose antics distress the sanctuary's humans and primates alike, until a frightening brush with a local predator changes him forever. And there is Rita, the emotionally scarred young chimp who blossoms in maturity to become a devoted mother. Humorous and heartbreaking, full of insight and wonder, In My Family Tree tells the uplifting story of one woman's transformation from a grandmother on the brink of retirement to an internationally acclaimed animal welfare activist devoted to defending the habitat of our closest genetic relatives-and the stories of the chimpanzees she has come to know and love along the way. The inspiring journey of a woman who has dedicated her life to providing a refuge for chimpanzees in Africa-and of the chimps that have become a part of her family along the way.
Download or read book The Temporary Gentleman written by Sebastian Barry and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning new novel from the two-time Man Booker shortlisted author of The Secret Scripture. Sebastian Barry's latest novel, A Thousand Moons, is now available. Irishman Jack McNulty is a “temporary gentleman”—an Irishman whose commission in the British army in World War II was never permanent. Sitting in his lodgings in Accra, Ghana, in 1957, he’s writing the story of his life with desperate urgency. He cannot take one step further without examining all the extraordinary events that he has seen. A lifetime of war and world travel—as a soldier in World War II, an engineer, a UN observer—has brought him to this point. But the memory that weighs heaviest on his heart is that of the beautiful Mai Kirwan, and their tempestuous, heartbreaking marriage. Mai was once the great beauty of Sligo, a magnetic yet unstable woman who, after sharing a life with Jack, gradually slipped from his grasp. Award-winning author Sebastian Barry’s The Temporary Gentleman is the sixth book in his cycle of separate yet interconnected novels that brilliantly reimagine characters from Barry’s own family.

Download or read book Whose History Counts written by June Bam and published by AFRICAN SUN MeDIA. This book was released on 2018-11-29 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally planned as a fact-based book on the pre-colonial history of the Eastern Cape in the true tradition of history, this ground-breaking book focuses on epistemological and foundational questions about the writing of history and whose history counts. Whose History Counts challenges the very concept of ?pre-colonial? and explores methodologies on researching and writing history. The reason for this dramatic change of focus is attributed in the introduction of the book to the student-led rebellion that erupted following the #RhodesMustFall campaign which started at the University of Cape Town on 9 March 2015. Key to the rebellion was the students? opposition to what they dubbed ?colonial? education and a clamour for, among others, a ?decolonised curriculum?. This book is a direct response to this clarion call.

Download or read book Of Irish Descent written by Catherine Nash and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2008-05-26 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be of Irish descent? What does Irish descent stand for in Ireland? In Northern Ireland? In the United States? How are the categories of “native” and “settler” and accounts of ethnic origin being refigured through popular genealogy and population genetics? Of Irish Descent addresses these questions by exploring the contemporary significance of ideas about ancestral roots, origins, and connections. Moving from the intimacy of family stories and reunions to disputed state policies on noble titles and new applications of genetic research, Nash traces the place of ancestry in interconnected geographies of identity—familial, ethnic, national, and diasporic. Underlying these different practices and narratives are potent and profoundly political questions about who counts as Irish and to whom Ireland belongs. Examining tensions between ideas of plurality and commonality, difference and connection that run through the culture and science of ancestral origins, Of Irish Descent is an original and timely exploration of new configurations of nation and diaspora as communities of shared descent.
