Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the age of twenty-six, Maarten Troost—who had been pushing the snooze button on the alarm clock of life by racking up useless graduate degrees and muddling through a series of temp jobs—decided to pack up his flip-flops and move to Tarawa, a remote South Pacific island in the Republic of Kiribati. He was restless and lacked direction, and the idea of dropping everything and moving to the ends of the earth was irresistibly romantic. He should have known better. The Sex Lives of Cannibals tells the hilarious story of what happens when Troost discovers that Tarawa is not the island paradise he dreamed of. Falling into one amusing misadventure after another, Troost struggles through relentless, stifling heat, a variety of deadly bacteria, polluted seas, toxic fish—all in a country where the only music to be heard for miles around is “La Macarena.” He and his stalwart girlfriend Sylvia spend the next two years battling incompetent government officials, alarmingly large critters, erratic electricity, and a paucity of food options (including the Great Beer Crisis); and contending with a bizarre cast of local characters, including “Half-Dead Fred” and the self-proclaimed Poet Laureate of Tarawa (a British drunkard who’s never written a poem in his life). With The Sex Lives of Cannibals, Maarten Troost has delivered one of the most original, rip-roaringly funny travelogues in years—one that will leave you thankful for staples of American civilization such as coffee, regular showers, and tabloid news, and that will provide the ultimate vicarious adventure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation deals with the extent of saltwater/chloride distribution in a two-layered coastal aquifer. The area chosen for the study is located in the Mukim of Bachok, Kelantan which covers an area of 72 km2 about 20 km South East of Kota Bharu. The area mainly consists of a large flat plain, with soils belonging to the Bris complex (82 - 99% sand) and drained mainly by the meandering Kemasin River and its tributaries. Groundwater contamination by chloride has become a threat to this area, economically and to health. Chloride concentrations have exceeded their permissible limits thereby limiting their eventual uses in tobacco farming and as drinking water. The objectives of this study are therefore to analyse the saltwater intrusion and contamination in the area; to obtain the necessary understanding of the chloride movement and distribution; and finally, to ascertain and make reasonable predictions as to the future contamination of the area by the saltwater. The approach taken was two-folds, namely to investigate the chloride distribution in the upper aquifer which is mainly utilized for tobacco farming and to analyse the saltwater intrusion using sharp interface and dispersive approaches in the lower aquifer. The analysis on the extent of chloride distribution in the upper aquifer was based on the field investigation covering a period between 1991-1995. The field studies were carried out by comprehensive data collection on the upper aquifer for a period of four (4) years which preceded the one (1) year MARDI study. Field studies on the lower aquifer were carried out for a period of two (2) years (1994 and 1995). The analysis on the Bachok coastal aquifer groundwater systems was done by means of the Regional Groundwater model. The middle stretch of the Kampong Cap transect (DDMI-5) was studied further using the data obtained from Pfeiffer study and the two-zone model. The latter model made use of the discrete space-discrete time approach. To understand the flow paths within the aquifer, an analogue model and' PSpice were used .. The parameters thus determined were incorporated in the Regional Groundwater model. Chloride distribution for the upper aquifer was then analysed. As for the upper aquifer, there was an increase in the content of chloride concentration compared to the earlier MARDI study despite the seasonal flushing of the saline water. The chloride increased with higher precipitation (November and December annually) in the flood plains, which was opposite to the long held theory that dilution would decrease the concentration. The cross-section P-Q which had the most data and better defined than the other cross-sections was chosen for simulating the saline intrusion using SUTRA model. A single unified aquifer was chosen for the purpose since, the aquifer is hydraulically connected at this cross-section. Cross-sectional intrusion analysis was accomplished in two stages. In the first stage, a steady- state calibration procedure was performed to obtain a match between the theoretical Ghyben-Herzberg position of the interface with that of the computed one and the observed field values. In the second stage, the transient behaviour of the interface was analysed using the dry period and discharge (production wells) and average recharge rates plus the discharge. It was found that for the aquifer system of Bachok, the groundwater in the lower aquifer is being contaminated by saline water. The saltwater wedge had reached a distance of 6 km (DDM4) from the sea. The chloride concentrations had exceeded 1000 mg/L for a 10-months period in 1995. The degree and extent of saline intrusion depends on the season and was obviously furthest inland during the dry season. As a long-term prediction, it is envisaged that within 25 years from 1994, at the present withdrawal rate of 45,000 gallons per day, the chloride concentration at Kg. Cap will attain a value ofl03 mg/L (within the 0.1 isochlor line). The dispersive approach was more applicable here rather than the sharp interface. It described with reasonable accuracy the movement of the interface of the P-Q transection in the lower aquifer, with the hydraulic connection existing between the upper and lower aquifer. It is recommended that for the tobacco farming, the activity should be limited to an area, one (1) km away from both the river and the sea. For saltwater intrusion control in this study area, it is proposed that the water withdrawal be regulated, producing wells be redistributed and monitoring system (including the use of SUTRA) be incorporated in such a way that saltwater intrusion remains in equilibrium while developing the aquifer to its maximum possible yield.

Book excerpt: In one form or another, water participates in the making and unmaking of people’s lives, practices, and stories. Contributors’ detailed ethnographic work analyzes the union and mutual shaping of water and social lives. This volume discusses current ecological disturbances and engages in a world where unbounded relationalities and unsettled frames of orientation mark the lives of all, anthropologists included. Water emerges as a fluid object in more senses than one, challenging anthropologists to foreground the mutable character of their objects of study and to responsibly engage with the generative role of cultural analysis.

Book excerpt: Countering the dominant paradigms of recent Pacific Islands' historiography, which tend to limit understanding of the sea's importance, this volume emphasizes the flux in the maritime environment and how it instilled an expectation and openness toward outside influences and the rapidity with which cultural change could occur in relations between various Islander groups." "Students and scholars of Pacific history and environmental and cultural studies will welcome this re-evaluation of the sea's influence in Oceanic history."--BOOK JACKET.
