Download or read book Weeds written by Richard Mabey and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2010-10-14 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weeds survive, entombed in the soil, for centuries. They are as persistent and pervasive as myths. They ride out ice ages, agricultural revolutions, global wars. They mark the tracks of human movements across continents as indelibly as languages. Yet to humans they are the scourge of our gardens, saboteurs of our best-laid plans. They rob crops of nourishment, ruin the exquisite visions of garden designers, and make unpleasant and impenetrable hiding places for urban ne'er-do-wells. Weeds can be destructive and troubling, but they can also be beautiful, and they are the prototypes of most of the plants that keep us alive. Humans have grappled with their paradox for thousands of years, and with characteristic verve and lyricism, Richard Mabey uncovers some of the deeper cultural reasons behind the attitudes we have to such a huge section of the plant world.
Download or read book WHITE MAN S BURDEN written by Rudyard Kipling and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-05 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book re-presents the poetry of Rudyard Kipling in the form of bold slogans, the better for us to reappraise the meaning and import of his words and his art. Each line or phrase is thrust at the reader in a manner that may be inspirational or controversial... it is for the modern consumer of this recontextualization to decide. They are words to provoke: to action. To inspire. To recite. To revile. To reconcile or reconsider the legacy and benefits of colonialism. Compiled and presented by sloganist Dick Robinson, three poems are included, complete and uncut: 'White Man's Burden', 'Fuzzy-Wuzzy' and 'If'.
Download or read book Killing the White Man s Indian written by Fergus M. Bordewich and published by Anchor. This book was released on 1997-04-14 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the face of a new lightly romanticized view of Native Americans, Killing the White Man's Indian bravely confronts the current myths and often contradictory realities of tribal life today. Following two centuries of broken treaties and virtual government extermination of the "savage redmen," Americans today have recast Native Americans into another, equally stereotyped role, that of eternal victims, politically powerless and weakened by poverty and alcoholism, yet whose spiritual ties with the natural world form our last, best hope of salvaging our natural environment and ennobling our souls. The truth, however, is neither as grim , nor as blindly idealistic, as many would expect. The fact is that a virtual revolution is underway in Indian Country, an upheaval of epic proportions. For the first time in generations, Indians are shaping their own destinies, largely beyond the control of whites, reinventing Indian education and justice, exploiting the principle of tribal sovereignty in ways that empower tribal governments far beyond most American's imaginations. While new found power has enriched tribal life and prospects, and has made Native Americans fuller participants in the American dream, it has brought tribal governments into direct conflict with local economics and the federal government. Based on three years of research on the Native American reservations, and written without a hidden conservative bias or politically correct agenda, Killing the White Man's Indian takes on Native American politics and policies today in all their contradictory--and controversial-guises."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My brother Frank is a most practical boy. I may be prejudiced, but it seems to me somehow there'snothing like close personal contact with active volcanoes to teach a young fellow prudence, coolness, and adaptability to circumstances. "Tom," said he to me, as we stood and watched thequeer party on deck, devouring taro-paste as a Neapolitan swallows down long strings of macaroni: "don't you think, if we've got to live so long in a native hut, and feed on this port of thing, we mayas well use ourselves to their manners and customs, whatever they may be, at the pearliestconvenient opportunity?""Haven't you heard, my dear boy," said I, "what the naval officer wrote when he was asked to reportto the Admiralty on that very subject of the manners and customs of the South Sea Islanders?'Manners they have none, ' he replied with Spartan brevity, 'and their customs are beastly.'""Not a bit of it," Frank answered quickly in his jolly way. "For my part I think this sticky, pasty stuffthey're eating with their fingers, though it's a bit stodgy, looks like real jam, and I'd much rather takemy lunch off things like that up here on deck, out of a native calabash, than go down and eat acivilized meal with a knife and fork in that hoky-poky, stuffy little cabin there."I confess, for myself, I didn't exactly like the look of it. Cosmopolitan as I am, I object to fingers asa substitute for spoons. We were on board the Royal Hawaiian mail steamer Liké Liké, 500 tonsregistered burden, from Honolulu for Hilo, in the island of Hawaii; and a quainter group than thenatives on deck I'm bound to admit, in all my wanderings, by sea or by land, I had never set eyes on.The tiny steamer was built in fact on purpose to accommodate all tastes alike, be the same savage orcivilized. Down stairs was a saloon where regular meals in the European fashion were well served bya dusky Polynesian steward in a white linen jacket, to such luxurious persons as preferred to takethem in that orthodox manner. But the unsophisticated natives, in their picturesque dress, believingfirmly in the truth of the proverb that fingers were made before forks, liked better to carry their ownsimple provisions in their baskets with them. They picnicked on deck in merry little circles, laughingand talking at the top of their voices (when they weren't sea-sick) as they squatted on their mats ofwoven grass round the family taro-bowl. From this common dish, parents and children, young menand maidens, fed all alike, each dipping his forefinger dexterously into the sticky mess, and thentwisting it round, as one might twist a lot of half-boiled toffee, till they landed it safely with a suddentwirl in their appreciative mouths. "It must be awfully good," Frank went on meditatively, eyeing thedoubtful mixture with a hungry look. "They seem to enjoy it so, or else of course they wouldn't licktheir fingers! I wish we could strike up a friendship now with some of these amiable light-colourednatives, and get them to share their lunch with us off-hand. I wonder what they call this preciousstuff of theirs?""We call it taro," one of the nearest group answered, greatly to our surprise, in perfectly good andclear English. "Would you like to taste some? It's very nice. We shall be delighted if you'll try it.Hawaiians are always proud indeed to show any hospitality in their power to friendly strangers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “fascinating” #1 New York Times bestseller that awakened the world to the destruction of American Indians in the nineteenth-century West (The Wall Street Journal). First published in 1970, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee generated shockwaves with its frank and heartbreaking depiction of the systematic annihilation of American Indian tribes across the western frontier. In this nonfiction account, Dee Brown focuses on the betrayals, battles, and massacres suffered by American Indians between 1860 and 1890. He tells of the many tribes and their renowned chiefs—from Geronimo to Red Cloud, Sitting Bull to Crazy Horse—who struggled to combat the destruction of their people and culture. Forcefully written and meticulously researched, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee inspired a generation to take a second look at how the West was won. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Dee Brown including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.
