Download or read book Anonymous SHAKE SPEARE written by Kurt Kreiler and published by Junius Verlag. This book was released on 2011-09-30 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new Roland Emmerich film - Anonymous - was released in October 2011. The seventeenth Earl of Oxford (1550-1604), says Emmerich, wrote the Shakespearian works. How could such a postulation come about and where does this doubt as to William Shaksper's authorship come from? (No offence is intended by calling the actor from Stratford-upon-Avon "Shaksper"; he certainly wouldn't have taken any, that's how he wrote it on his marriage license.) - After the academic world has been guessing and floundering for 150 years, the literary detective Kurt Kreiler surprises us with a book that addresses this subject after years of sound and thorough academic research. This is definitely the leading book on this subject. Chapters 1 and 2 explain why Will Shaksper from Stratford-upon-Avon was not an author. In chapter 3, ten works of the author William Shakespeare will be analysed with a view to determine what criteria the author must have had in order to write the works in question. Which foreign lands had the author visited? What historical references have been made? When were the pieces written? Chapter 4 examines the social perspectives of the "Author of the plays". Chapter 5 examines what Shakespeare's literary contemporaries knew about him, with whom did they associate him, what qualities did they attribute to him? An analysis of the Harvey-Nashe-Quarrel show us that they both agree that the author "Master William" was the creator of the figure Falstaff and that this author was Eduard de Vere, Earl of Oxford. Chapter 6 deals with the first part of the biography of Eduard de Vere. Chapters 7 and 8 show that the the profile of the Author that was developed in chapters 3-5 correlates logically and universally with the biography of the Earl of Oxford. Chapter 9 is a continuation of the biography of the writer and spear shaker "William Shake-speare" up to his death in 1604. Chapter 10 shows why, how and for whom the dramatist Ben Jonson went about the task of procuring the nom de plume Shake-speare. By using the coincidental similarity between the names Shake-speare and Shaksper, Jonson posthumously set up a marionette to claim authorship of the Shakespearian works. Kurt Kreiler (b. 23 June 1950) is a German author and dramaturg. He read philology and philosophy at university, his studies culminating in a doctoral thesis on the short lived Bavarian Republic of People's Councils (1918/19). In 1983 he began his work as a writer for television and radio. In 2009 Insel Verlag published Kreiler's: "The Man who invented Shakespeare"; a book that caused a considerable stir in Germany."

Download or read book Plankton written by Iain Suthers and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2019-04-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthy waterways and oceans are essential for our increasingly urbanised world. Yet monitoring water quality in aquatic environments is a challenge, as it varies from hour to hour due to stormwater and currents. Being at the base of the aquatic food web and present in huge numbers, plankton are strongly influenced by changes in environment and provide an indication of water quality integrated over days and weeks. Plankton are the aquatic version of a canary in a coal mine. They are also vital for our existence, providing not only food for fish, seabirds, seals and sharks, but producing oxygen, cycling nutrients, processing pollutants, and removing carbon dioxide from our atmosphere. This Second Edition of Plankton is a fully updated introduction to the biology, ecology and identification of plankton and their use in monitoring water quality. It includes expanded, illustrated descriptions of all major groups of freshwater, coastal and marine phytoplankton and zooplankton and a new chapter on teaching science using plankton. Best practice methods for plankton sampling and monitoring programs are presented using case studies, along with explanations of how to analyse and interpret sampling data. Plankton is an invaluable reference for teachers and students, environmental managers, ecologists, estuary and catchment management committees, and coastal engineers.
Download or read book Atlas of Poetic Zoology written by Emmanuelle Pouydebat and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A catalog of wonders, from walking fish to self-medicating chimpanzees. This Atlas of Poetic Zoology leads readers into a world of wonders where turtles fly under the sea, lizards walk on water, insects impersonate flowers, birds don't fly, frogs come back from the dead, and virgin sharks give birth. Animals, writes Emmanuelle Pouydebat, are lyric poets; they discover and shape the world when they sing, dance, explore, and reproduce. The animal kingdom has been evolving for millions of years, weathering many crises of extinction; this book allows us to draw inspiration from animals' enduring vitality. Pouydebat's text, accompanied by striking color illustrations by artist Julie Terrazzoni, offers a catalog of wondrous beings. Pouydebat describes the African bush elephant—the biggest land mammal of them all, but the evolutionary descendant of a tiny animal that stood less than fifty centimeters (nineteen inches) high sixty million years ago; the scaly, toothless pangolin, the world's most endangered mammal—and perhaps its most atypical; the red-lipped batfish, which walks, rather than swims, across the ocean floor; and the great black cockatoo, a gifted percussionist. Chimpanzees, she tells us, self-medicate with medicinal plants; the jellyfish, under stress, reverts to juvenile polyp-hood; and the sweetly named honey badger feeds on reptiles, termites, scorpions, and earthworms. Pouydebat, a researcher at the French Museum of Natural History, and Terrazzoni capture the astonishment promised by any excursion into nature—the happiness that comes from watching a dragonfly, spider, frog, lizard, elephant, parrot, mouse, orangutan, or ladybug. It's the joy of witnessing life itself. We need only open our eyes to see.

Download or read book World Atlas of the Oceans written by and published by Key Porter Books. This book was released on 2001 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A monumental achievement in cartography that presents modern oceanography's most important discoveries for the first time Deep-sea exploration is one of the greatest achievements of 20th century science. But while expeditions made sensational news, they were isolated events, offering only a glimpse into a secret world complete with mountains, volcanoes, and a rich variety of animal life. It wasn't until after the Second World War - when the prominent sea-going nations decided to join forces and explore the planet's various oceanographic zones - that a more complete picture of the underwater world began to emerge. The result of this collaborative effort is a remarkable cartographic work compiled by the Canadian Hydrographic Service. The General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) documents the depths of the world's oceans at all of their levels and gradations. In the World Atlas of the Oceans, these charts are available to the general public for the first time. Along with relief maps, illustrations and stunning photography, these remarkable charts help tell the story of Earth's oceans. From Australia's Great Barrier Reef to the Arctic's drifting icebergs, from the Atlantic's North-West Passage to the Pacific's sinking volcanoes, the World Atlas of the Oceans offers a comprehensive look at both the geological history of our oceans and their current incarnations. Detailed discussions of the ocean's animal life - sea cucumbers, whales, dolphins, giant squid - as well as underwater phenomena such as currents, tidal zones, "black smokers," and fish graveyards are also included. Other features include: - bathymetric charts of all oceans, polar and inland seas - relief maps detailing the ocean floors - satellite images of the oceans and selected coastlines - previously unpublished charts of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea - information on currents, trade winds, mineral resources, major shipping routes, shallows and straits - more than 200 spectacular photographs and drawings The World Atlas of the Oceans is an important contribution to our understanding of the planet on which we live.
