Download or read book Decolonizing Nature written by William (Bill) Adams and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-04-27 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British imperialism was almost unparalleled in its historical and geographical reach, leaving a legacy of entrenched social transformation in nations and cultures in every part of the globe. Colonial annexation and government were based on an all-encompassing system that integrated and controlled political, economic, social and ethnic relations, and required a similar annexation and control of natural resources and nature itself. Colonial ideologies were expressed not only in the progressive exploitation of nature but also in the emerging discourses of conservation. At the start of the 21st century, the conservation of nature is of undiminished importance in post-colonial societies, yet the legacy of colonial thinking endures. What should conservation look like today, and what (indeed, whose) ideas should it be based upon? Decolonizing Nature explores the influence of the colonial legacy on contemporary conservation and on ideas about the relationships between people, polities and nature in countries and cultures that were once part of the British Empire. It locates the historical development of the theory and practice of conservation - at both the periphery and the centre - firmly within the context of this legacy, and considers its significance today. It highlights the present and future challenges to conservationists of contemporary global neo-colonialism The contributors to this volume include both academics and conservation practitioners. They provide wide-ranging and insightful perspectives on the need for, and practical ways to achieve new forms of informed ethical engagement between people and nature.

The times are changing as relationships transform, the town's history is uncovered, and the 2016 presidential election looms. My Grandfather's an Immigrant and So is Yours probes the personal and the worldly, the timely and the timeless in a fragmented coming of age tale. An elegant journey through the memories that shaped an adolescence, illuminating truths both universal and personal along the way. A quietly propulsive story that takes us in search of happiness and self at their most elemental. Karen Hattrup, author of Frannie and Tru and Our Year in Love and Parties It's difficult to put this book down without feeling sadness for all the kids who've had to sort through all the issues that have infantilized us as adults, but also a tentative optimism that writers like Chin will lead us toward a saner, more artful future. Benjamin Drevlow, author of Ina-Baby, A Love Story in Reverse and Bend with the Knees and Other Love Advice from My Father
Download or read book Undone Valley written by William R Soldan and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty years after his father is murdered outside a rundown motel near their ruined Ohio mill town, college dropout Dalton Hartwell leads a quiet life of denial and repressed rage. He spends his days working as an on-call maintenance man for an apartment complex, where he lives and cares for his dying mother. But when a letter arrives one day, notifying him that Andrew Lareaux, the man who killed his father when he was just a boy, has been paroled from prison, it sets Dalton on an obsessive, uncertain journey in pursuit of the truth surrounding the tragic event. Meanwhile, as Lareaux prepares for his release and tries to mend his fractured relationship with his estranged daughter, Ellie, he finds himself bound by blood to a vicious criminal organization, who plans to collect on his debt in unforeseen ways. As the lives of these three characters converge and become entangled, a current of deception and despair pull them toward a violent confrontation, from which their only hope of escape is to join together in a desperate fight for survival. Set amidst the blight and devastation of the American Rust Belt, Undone Valley is a grim, gritty novel about the secrets of the past, how they shape and direct the course of our lives, and the brutal truths that are better left buried. "In Undone Valley, William R. Soldan achieves a thoughtful balance of the raw and dirty reality of poverty, addiction, and incarceration, with the tenacity and hope of his unforgettable characters. The result of this careful equilibrium is a heartbreaking story of the power of time to heal, but also to fester and stoke. I left this novel feeling like I actually knew these people, and this place, and for me there is no higher praise. Soldan is a master craftsman." -Meagan Lucas, author of Songbirds and Stray Dogs "William R. Soldan's debut novel is full throttle brutal grit, dark thrills, and wild truths. A lot of writers have taken on rustbelt noir, the dying Ohio, but Soldan understands the place like no other. He's come into his own with his latest book, a modern gut punch. He understands the graveyards of buildings. The promises lost in their shattered glass, and the whispers of lives long lost in the growing, brittle, grass that engulfs them. Soldan inhabits this rag-tag collection of characters that take you on a savage journey through the Undone Valley." -Frank Reardon, author of Nirvana Haymaker and Loud Love on the Sevens and Elevens "William R. Soldan does what very few writers are able to do: he writes about ugly realities in a way that's not just skillful, but brutally beautiful, leaving the reader breathless. Undone Valley is a blazing testament to that very fact." -Stephen J. Golds, author of Say Goodbye When I'm Gone and Always the Dead "So much crime writing and Grit Lit seems bent on showing off just how tough and mean and lowdown it is. But William R. Soldan's Undone Valley doesn't need to show off. It comes by its grit naturally, with a flinty grace that permeates this beautiful, festering novel right up through its apocalyptic climax. When it comes to true grit, Soldan is the real deal." -Joey R. Poole, author of I Have Always Been Here Before
