Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Snakes of Europe There is no work in the English language dealing with the Reptiles of Europe. I have therefore endeavoured to supply this desideratum, so far as the Snakes are concerned, by drawing up in a concise form an account of what is known of their characters, their distribution, and their life-histories. Professor Sordelli, of Milan, having kindly acceded to my request to reproduce some of the beautiful figures drawn by him for the work published in collaboration with the late Professor Jan under the title of "Iconographie Generale des Ophidiens," I have been able to supplement my descriptions with illustrations which leave nothing to be desired from the point of view of accuracy. A few drawings have been made specially for this book by Mr. J. Green. I have further to acknowledge the permission given by the Trustees of the British Museum, the India Office, and the Zoological Society, to reproduce a few figures from previous publications of which I am the author.

Download or read book The Tineina of Southern Europe Classic Reprint written by H. T. Stainton and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-07 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tineina of Southern Europe The object of the present volume is to supply the Entomologist who visits Southern Europe with one portable volume comprising all that has been written on the Tineina of that portion of the globe. The aim has been to reproduce accurately the records of each observer, but at the same time to place them, if possible, more clearly and distinctly before the reader than they appeared when originally published. The descriptions are reproduced in the actual words of the respective authors, it being thought that he who is trying to make out a species will always prefer to refer to the original than to any translation however perfect. A translator, indeed, who has not the actual insect before him is always liable to make errors which may altogether vitiate the description; for, though correctly translating the words, he may, from misapprehending their meaning, give a very different signification to the passage. The new matter in the volume is really extremely limited, less than a tenth being devoted to the chapter which treats of the author's doings in Southern Europe. But it is thought that the synthetic arrangement of all that has been done in the last twenty-five years, and the addition to that of all that had been written by previous authors, even going back to the year 1750, on the Tineina of Southern Europe, will much facilitate the further study of these insects. I would gladly have added another chapter as an epitome of the more interesting Southern forms included in this volume; but the extent to which the subject had already swollen, and a lurking doubt whether the proposed epitome might not itself grow to rather unreasonable dimensions, induced me to leave that chapter unwritten.

Download or read book The Snakes written by Sadie Jones and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Snakes is many things—a parable and an ancient drama where a father’s greed devours his children, a police procedural, an avid take on tabloid venality, and a bitter comedy, superbly observed, where behind a woman’s eyes she is ‘all movement inside herself, like a wasp in a glass.’ I admit that I’m still shaken by parts of this novel. Sadie Jones writes with pitiless aplomb and corrosive intelligence.”—Louise Erdrich A chilling page-turner and impossible to put down, THE SNAKES is Sadie Jones at her best: breathtakingly powerful, brilliantly incisive, and utterly devastating. The new novel by Sadie Jones tells the tense and violent story of the Adamsons, a dysfunctional English family, with exceptional wealth, whose darkest secrets come back to bite them. Set mostly in rural France during contemporary times, THE SNAKES is an all-consuming read and a devastating portrait of how money corrupts, and how chance can deal a deadly hand. THE SNAKES exposes the damage wreaked by parents on children as observed by a new member of the family, Dan, a mixed-race man from Peckham who marries Bea, the daughter who refuses to take any of her father’s filthy money. But when Bea’s brother Alex (who runs a shabby hotel in Paligny, France) dies suddenly in unexplained circumstances, the confusion and suspicion which arise bring other dark family secrets—and violence—to the surface. And none of the family, even the good members, go untouched.

Download or read book The Man Stories of a Black Snake Classic Reprint written by William Arthur Boord and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-04-16 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Man-Stories of a Black Snake The class of men is growing larger day by day which craves for the knowledge of that which 'eye hath not seen'; these are the persons whom this critic believed would chiefly take an interest in the following pages, and to whom I am now addressing these words. The Snake Stories first took shape in the author's mind as long ago as 1893, but they only assumed concrete form in the winter of I 89 5 - 96. They were written while the influence of the Bush still powerfully moved him, partly, indeed, with a view to describing that wonderful Wild West of Tasmania so little known even to the in habitants of Tasmania itself. I suppose all who have travelled away from civilisation, be it for ever so short a distance, have felt the strange weight of solitude which presses upon their minds, and know how that feeling gradually gives place to a sensation of deepest content, as a thousand companions are disclosed to them in bird and beast and tree. These men will appreciate the fact that the author has dwelt for long in the closest com munion with Nature, and has written these stories while still imbued with her mystic teachings.

Download or read book Don t Sleep There are Snakes written by Daniel Everett and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2010-07-09 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Daniel Everett was a missionary, far from converting the Pirahãs, they converted him. He shows the slow, meticulous steps by which he gradually mastered their language and his gradual realisation that its unusual nature closely reflected its speakers' startlingly original perceptions of the world. Everett describes how he began to realise that his discoveries about the Pirahã language opened up a new way of understanding how language works in our minds and in our lives, and that this way was utterly at odds with Noam Chomsky's universally accepted linguistic theories. The perils of passionate academic opposition were then swiftly conjoined to those of the Amazon in a debate whose outcome has yet to be won. Everett's views are most recently discussed in Tom Wolfe's bestselling The Kingdom of Speech. Adventure, personal enlightenment and the makings of a scientific revolution proceed together in this vivid, funny and moving book.
