What path will you take to follow the food chain through the rain forest? Will you ... Crouch in the shadows with a jaguar? Slither through the leaves with an anaconda? Lurk in the jungle night with a tarantula? Follow all three chains and many more on this who-eats-what adventure!
Download or read book A Death in the Rainforest written by Don Kulick and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Perhaps the finest and most profound account of ethnographic fieldwork and discovery that has ever entered the anthropological literature.” —The Wall Street Journal “If you want to experience a profoundly different culture without the exhausting travel (to say nothing of the cost), this is an excellent choice.” —The Washington Post As a young anthropologist, Don Kulick went to the tiny village of Gapun in New Guinea to document the death of the native language, Tayap. He arrived knowing that you can’t study a language without understanding the daily lives of the people who speak it: how they talk to their children, how they argue, how they gossip, how they joke. Over the course of thirty years, he returned again and again to document Tayap before it disappeared entirely, and he found himself inexorably drawn into their world, and implicated in their destiny. Kulick wanted to tell the story of Gapuners—one that went beyond the particulars and uses of their language—that took full stock of their vanishing culture. This book takes us inside the village as he came to know it, revealing what it is like to live in a difficult-to-get-to village of two hundred people, carved out like a cleft in the middle of a tropical rainforest. But A Death in the Rainforest is also an illuminating look at the impact of Western culture on the farthest reaches of the globe and the story of why this anthropologist realized finally that he had to give up his study of this language and this village. An engaging, deeply perceptive, and brilliant interrogation of what it means to study a culture, A Death in the Rainforest takes readers into a world that endures in the face of massive changes, one that is on the verge of disappearing forever.

Download or read book To Know the Rainforest written by Paul Mathes and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-12 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1965, Mike Peterson, an American Peace Corps volunteer midway through his two-year service in Colombia, is heading into the rainforest with friends. Thanks to a land-reform policy—“land without men for men without land”—his friends intend to claim a parcel of free jungle land to homestead. Mike eagerly accepts the invitation to be a part of this life-changing experience with them. No one could have predicted just how life-changing the experience truly would be. While traveling overnight to the rainforest by chiva—the rustic, open-air buses of the Andes—Mike and his friends are pulled into a situation they can’t fully understand. They attempt to rescue a young woman from her abusive companion, a ruffian who turns out to be an employee and friend of Don Trujillo, the vengeful rancher and smuggler who controls the flow of contraband along the Urabá coast. In payment for their kindness, the homesteaders may have provoked the wrath of the unpredictable Trujillo and his gun-slinging gauchos. The mountainous forest they are heading into is a refuge for Indians, bandits, smugglers, and outlaws, as well as the many camouflaged, lethal creatures that inhabit the woods, swamps, and waterways. Mike and his friends must find the strength and courage to survive the many challenges of their new rainforest home, but the promise of love and hope keeps them going.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I know who I am Kelvin seemed desperate to win his father’s approval. However, Mr Eze not only seemed unwilling to bestow it, but hell bent in making life unbearable for his acclaimed son. Kelvin thought it would be best to find his true family rather than endure the torture of being the unwanted child. He realised that his quest for recognition was unlikely to succeed, so he set his eyes on freedom. In the meantime, Kelvin expected that a good academic performance would change his luck and put him right with Mr Eze or at least boost his confidence in his abilities. With all his attention on his studies, competing for the best grades against the leading brains in his class, especially Christian, an indomitable rival, he would not let school romance get in the way fo his goal. But slowly and steadily, Chioma, gained his trust and won him over. He would have to make a decision between holding on to his moral principle or satisfying his human desire for friendship. New Home, New Identity Marginalised and decimated, the Biafran people were forced to go to war and secede from Nigeria. But decades after losing the war and embracing the Nigerian identity, they are still not treated as equal citizens in their home country. As a new wave of terrorism sweeps the northern parts of the country, the Biafran people, predominantly Igbo are again decimated as they have been for decades in every crises and this led to renewed discussions about their independence. For Biafra, the fight for equality was over and their Sovereignty was not negotiable. For Kelvin, it wasn’t very different, and so his quest for truth and independence must begin. His compulsory holiday in Igbo land would expose him to the truth that might have indirectly caused him to abandon his academic pursuit. Perhaps, it was just an excuse to free himself from the clutch of Mr Eze and begin his quest for the truth about his identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women's Voices from the Rainforest explores the position of the women whose families are tearing down the rainforest. These women of Central and Latin America have been largely invisible until now, but they are at last turning their voices into action. International development policy and its top-down culture must take much of the blame for environmental and social destruction of the rainforest. Presenting the contrasting results of different methodologies, a comprehensive literature review, and the voices of the rainforest women themselves, told in life histories, the authors argue for the adoption of "grassroots" strategies, not international solutions.
