Download or read book Codex Canadensis and the Writings of Louis Nicolas written by François-Marc Gagnon and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2011-09-29 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part art, part science, part anthropology, this ambitious project presents an early Canadian perspective on natural history that is as much artistic and fantastical as it is encyclopedic. Edited and introduced by François-Marc Gagnon, The Codex Canadensis and the Writings of Louis Nicolas showcases an intriguing attempt to document the life of the new world - flora, fauna, and aboriginal. The book brings together for the first time the illustrated Codex Canadensis and The Natural History of the New World, following Gagnon's argument that both can be attributed to Louis Nicolas, a French Jesuit priest who travelled throughout Canada between 1664 and 1675. Histoire Naturelle des Indes Occidentales, originally written in classical French, has been put in modern French by Réal Ouellet and translated into English by Nancy Senior. The Natural History presents a pre-Linnaean botany and pre-Darwinian account of living things, including hundreds of species of plants and vivid descriptions of wildlife. It is thoroughly annotated, focusing on the contemporary identification of species, as the result of a pan-Canadian collaboration of experts in fields from linguistics to biology and botany. The Codex Canadensis, currently in the collection of the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is reproduced in full and provides both a fascinating visual account of wildlife as Nicolas saw it and a rare example of early Canadian art. Gagnon's introduction profiles Louis Nicolas and analyses connections between his work and European examples of natural illustration from the period. The Codex Canadensis and the Writings of Louis Nicolas shows how the wildlife and native inhabitants of the new world were understood and documented by a seventeenth-century European and makes available fundamental documents in the history and visual culture of early North America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zeus was named after a Greek god, which he is not; he is a dog. Zeus is a Newfoundland dog, a breed that looks like a black bear, can swim like a polar bear, is as strong as a grizzly bear, and as loyal aswell, as loyal as a dog, actually. But despite these remarkable characteristics, he has one major problem: Hes afraid of heights. After being adopted by a gruff but friendly fisherman named Capt. Apache Bluegills, Zeus finds a welcome home in a small fishing town called Flatrock Cove in Newfoundland, Canada. Zeus is quick to admire the Sea Sentinels, the towns elite team of Newfie dogs who keep the shoreline safe by patrolling the seaside cliffs and diving into the ocean at the first sign of trouble. He wishes to join the team but is disappointed when his fear of heights prevents him. When Capt. Bluegills goes on a fishing trip for a few weeks, Zeus decides instead to follow his passion and embark on a journey of his own. Follow the wild adventures of Zeus, the fishermans Newf, as he travels overseas, learns many new things, samples strange and wonderful food, and makes lifelong friends. Of course, keeping out of trouble during his adventures is much harder than he thinks, especially for such a curious fellow as he. Zeus ventures from his home in Newfoundland (which most humans call the Rock) and sails across the Atlantic Ocean all the way to France. There he meets a sophisticated French poodle named Poutine, and together they explore Paris. However, Zeus soon discovers that the people of France believe he is something else entirely: a wild beast, who wants to eat all the fat French babies he can google up! Will Zeus learn to overcome his greatest fear in Paris? Will he escape the French military police, the Gendarmerie nationale, who are determined to capture and cage him? Will he make it back home before Capt. Bluegills returns from his fishing trip? And will the most beautiful of all the Newfie dogs, Electra, be there waiting for him even if he is not a Sea Sentinel?

Download or read book Dictionary of Louisiana French written by Albert Valdman and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 2218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dictionary of Louisiana French (DLF) provides the richest inventory of French vocabulary in Louisiana and reflects precisely the speech of the period from 1930 to the present. This dictionary describes the current usage of French-speaking peoples in the five broad regions of South Louisiana: the coastal marshes, the banks of the Mississippi River, the central area, the north, and the western prairie. Data were collected during interviews from at least five persons in each of twenty-four areas in these regions. In addition to the data collected from fieldwork, the dictionary contains material compiled from existing lexical inventories, from texts published after 1930, and from archival recordings. The new authoritative resource, the DLF not only contains the largest number of words and expressions but also provides the most complete information available for each entry. Entries include the word in the conventional French spelling, the pronunciation (including attested variants), the part of speech classification, the English equivalent, and the word's use in common phrases. The DLF features a wealth of illustrative examples derived from fieldwork and textual sources and identification of the parish where the entry was collected or the source from which it was compiled. An English-to-Louisiana French index enables readers to find out how particular notions would be expressed in la Louisiane.
