Download or read book Journey of the Pink Dolphins written by Sy Montgomery and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2009-02-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the acclaimed author of The Soul of an Octopus and the bestselling memoir The Good Good Pig. When Sy Montgomery ventured into the Amazon to unlock the mysteries of the littleknown pink dolphins, she found ancient whales that plied the Amazon River at dawn and dusk, swam through treetops in flooded forests, and performed underwater ballets with their flexible bodies. But she soon found out that to know the botos, as the dolphins are locally called, you must also know the people who live among them. And so in Journey of the Pink Dolphins, Montgomery—part naturalist, part poet, part Indiana Jones—winds her way through watery tributaries and riverside villages, searching for botos and hearing the tales of locals who believe these ethereal dolphins are shape-shifters—creatures that emerge from the water as splendidly dressed men or women only to enchant their human onlookers, capture their souls, and then carry them away to the Encante, an underwater world. Montgomery takes readers on four separate journeys, exploring the river-dwelling dolphins’ natural history, chronicling their conservation pressures, unraveling their prehistoric roots, and visiting with shamans who delve into the Encante.

Download or read book The Voyage of Verrazzano written by Henry Cruse Murphy and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-06-02 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American historian Henry Cruse Murphy attempted to show that the claims of discovery made by Giovanni da Verrazzano were unauthentic. Verrazzano was the Italian navigator and explorer for France who was the first European to discover New York and Narragansett bays. In addition, he was the first European explorer to name newly discovered North American locations after persons and places of the Old World. Verrazzano wrote engaging accounts of the lands and inhabitants he encountered though it is believed that these reports were sometimes inaccurate. In this work, Murphy said that various letters attributed to this explorer were fragmented and distorted, making them unreliable. He added that Verrazzano did not write the descriptions of the people and the land from his personal observations. Therefore, the reality of the Natives remained unnoticed, and what was mentioned of them was untrue. Murphy went on to discredit various other letters by the European explorer.

Download or read book Island of the Blue Dolphins written by Scott O'Dell and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 1960 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far off the coast of California looms a harsh rock known as the island of San Nicholas. Dolphins flash in the blue waters around it, sea otter play in the vast kep beds, and sea elephants loll on the stony beaches. Here, in the early 1800s, according to history, an Indian girl spent eighteen years alone, and this beautifully written novel is her story. It is a romantic adventure filled with drama and heartache, for not only was mere subsistence on so desolate a spot a near miracle, but Karana had to contend with the ferocious pack of wild dogs that had killed her younger brother, constantly guard against the Aleutian sea otter hunters, and maintain a precarious food supply. More than this, it is an adventure of the spirit that will haunt the reader long after the book has been put down. Karana's quiet courage, her Indian self-reliance and acceptance of fate, transform what to many would have been a devastating ordeal into an uplifting experience. From loneliness and terror come strength and serenity in this Newbery Medal-winning classic.
