Download or read book Vignettes of Taiwan written by Joshua Samuel Brown and published by ThingsAsian Press. This book was released on 2006-04 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Joshua Samuel Brown first stepped out of the passenger terminal at Chiang Kai-shek International Airport in Taiwan, he was a stranger in a humid land with insufficient funds, zero job prospects and an over-packed suitcase. Like much else in his life up to that point, his decision to move to Taiwan was based largely on random occurrence and cosmic coincidence. He was twenty-four years old, thousands of miles away from home, and at that moment the happiest man alive. This anthology of short stories, travel essays, photographs, random meditations, and political meanderings grew out of his years on the island formerly known as Formosa.

Download or read book Chimpanzee Travels written by Dale Peterson and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lifelong fascination with primates led Dale Peterson to Africa, which he crisscrossed in hope of sighting chimpanzees in the wild. As with any adventure worth retelling, however, Peterson's detours are as notable as his destinations. With the good-natured fatalism of the tested traveler, Peterson tells of trains and riverboats, opportunists and ecotourists, rain forests and shantytowns as he conveys the pitfalls of going forth on a budget as tiny as the continent is vast. Along the way, we also meet Jane Goodall and several other renowned primate researchers and caretakers. This is travel writing with a purpose, an account that inspires both admiration and concern for Africa's people, places, and natural diversity.
Download or read book Vignettes written by Manoj Kumar Patel and published by Sankalp Publication. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The entire universe is a book to read and understand. Nature, environment, human, human behaviors, hunger, thirst, power, lust, love, competition, birds, animals, stars all of these convey mute as well as verbal messages with consistency and inconsistencies to its system and surroundings. Observant, if one is, can capture these and convert these to meaningful words which in turn can help in making a good living environment for one and all. The present book is a compilation of articles written over a period of 12 months starting from May 2018 to June 2019. The authors have expressed their observations and their own interpretations in different moods, melancholy, painful moments and pleasurable instances. Hence, these are, one can say, the manifestation of both conventional as well as unconventional thoughts. We have not limited our expressions to any limits. The articles are written as the words started coming to our mind based on the situation and circumstance of the events observed. We, consciously, have kept the articles in a format that is different from other books. We have discussed the Ramayana as a history rather than mythology, we have also deliberated on beauty as a deeply valued material, we have also written about materials such as narcissism and living with originality. We have also spoken about – life as a practical field and is not to be lived as a moral science classroom. The articles are deliberately kept at random and each article is a stand-alone description. We would suggest readers read any article as the first article and any article as the final article because all articles in the book are independent and mutually exclusive from other articles.
