Download or read book A Monastery for the Ibex written by Wilko Graf von Hardenberg and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gran Paradiso National Park is Italy’s oldest, and was instrumental in preventing the extinction of the Alpine ibex between World War I and just after World War II. Today, there are more than 30,000 ibex living in the Alps, all of which descended from that last colony protected in Gran Paradiso under Mussolini’s rule. Wilko Graf von Hardenberg merges the history of conservation with the area’s social history and Italy’s larger political history to produce a multifaceted narrative about the park as an institution, the conflicts it triggered, and practices adopted to manage the ibex despite hurdles placed by the fascist regime. The book’s central argument is that, in fascist Italy, preservation—propaganda notwithstanding—was a product of the regime’s continuities with the previous liberal system. Italy’s total fascist transformation, accomplished only more than a decade after Mussolini took power, virtually unmade the early successes of preservation set in place by the nascent “nature state” in the regime’s early years. Despite this conflict, conservationists succeeded in preserving the ibex. Hardenberg positions this success within the broader history of science, conservation, and tourism in fascist Italy and the Alpine region, creating a comprehensive historical background and comparative reference to ongoing debates about the role of nature conservation in general and in relation to the state and its agencies.

Their objective is the famous Matterhorn, a goal Daniel has held since childhood. But their plans are interrupted when Daniel's company is threatened by elements of the U.S. financial crisis. He is unable to get an expansion of credit from any U.S. bank and flies to meet his partner in Istanbul in hopes of securing financing from Turkish sources. But on the trip to meet with a Turkish commercial banker, Daniel's plane, with 186 passengers onboard, is hijacked by six Georgian and Chechnyan terrorists who hold resentments against the Russian Federation. While a prisoner onboard the aircraft, Daniel has a vision of his totem, the nimble Ibex, a mountain goat with large horns, locked in conflict with its nemesis, the Snow Leopard. This dream inspires his transformation into a more complete man who gains greater awareness of his own power. Meanwhile, his close friend, beautiful Arianna Reynolds, becomes aware of his predicament and, prompted by another friend's wisdom, begins a journey of her own to fulfill her desires for Daniel, which she finally recognizes as true love instead of friendship. Can Daniel successfully escape the terrorists' clutches, save his struggling business, and bond with the lovely Seattle woman he has known for so long?

Download or read book The Ibex that couldn t climb written by Paul Ramey and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiration for The Ibex That Couldn't Climb came to the author while he was watching a nature program about this very amazing animal. Realizing he did not know the specifics of this particular animal, he decided, "This is a wonderful message and learning opportunity and should be brought to the minds of children, including the grandkids." With that inspiration, Paul set out lovingly writing this children's story for his grandsons, Mason and Tyson, and the rest of the world. The powerful message of knowing our very words we utter out loud or think about ourselves in our heads, in our minds, defines the individual who we become over time and blends well with the story line about the young ibex and her struggles with her own perception of her abilities. If we tell ourselves we can, we can. If we tell ourselves we can't, we won't. Once the wise owl comes and explains the impact of her thoughts and words upon her abilities, the kid ibex is freed from her own self-imposed limitations and filled with the realization that she was holding herself back all along. Now free, the ibex sends a message of self-confidence to her readers. This message is universal and applies to young as well as old. This message is one we all could stand to learn and relearn to help be the best we can be.

Book excerpt: Renzo Crespi is a young Italian soldier serving in Italian-occupied Corsica during World War II. The locals arent always pleasant with the occupying troops, particularly a young woman by the name of Adrienne Santi. Adrienne is the granddaughter of the wealthiest and most influential man in the area, and she is not happy to be serving soldiers who are not native to Corsican soil until she meets Renzo. Renzo and Adrienne fall in love, despite the possibility of terrible consequence. Their sin is fraternizing with the enemy; if their affair is discovered, Renzo could be court-martialed. Adrienne has much to lose as well, as her behavior could be seen as a betrayal to her country especially in the eyes of the Maquisards, a rebel group hell-bent on liberating Corsica at any cost. Its not long before the evils of war threaten to overtake Renzo and Adriennes love. The Maquisards are ready to act, and soon Renzo and his Italian comrades find themselves in the middle of upheaval. Is love strong enough to survive a military coup? Only time will tell if either of the star-crossed lovers will live long enough to find out. It is a test of devotion, patriotism, and morality, as Italian and Corsican alike fight for their own versions of freedom.
