Book excerpt: Flight of the Black Stork is about the ultimate tragedy of right versus right. When their ancient civilization approached its end, the aliens prayed for salvation. Their god heard the prayers of his chosen people and gave them a promised land for their deliverance. Unfortunately, it was Earth. When extra-terrestrial ships jump a battle damaged B-24 returning from a strike over Germany, Tuskegee Airmen flying escort aggressively fight off the attack in their Red Tailed P-51s. This engagement marked the beginning of the alien fifty-year reconnaissance and invasion plan. A daring surprise attack is launched against the enemy-staging base in the Moon's Aitken basin using the Black Stork, a Russian space shuttle resurrected from the bone yard, bristling with biochemical and nuclear weapons. Be prepared for a punch in the gut as each chapter slams you with a high G afterburner climb of mounting action, inspiring imperfect characters and a steamy, love story riding in the rear cockpit. The breathtaking finale thunders with history, hope, and guts and you'll be thinking about this book for a long time.

Download or read book Storks Ibises and Spoonbills of the World written by James Hancock and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything you ever wanted to know about storks, ibises and spoonbills. Some of the world's largest and most spectacular birds are to be found among this group of wading birds. Tragically, they also include many of the world's most endangered species, as changes in land use erode their wetland habitats. Some like the White Stork have lived alongside humans for hundreds of years and are well known from numerous studies. Others, like the Storm's stork and ibises of West Africa, South-East Asia and South America live so secluded a life in the remote corners of the globe that they will probably be extinct before even the most basic details of their biology are known. In this monograph, three authors and two artists have combined their skills to capture what is known of this group of wading birds. The text opens with general chapters on taxonomy and feeding, breeding and behaviour, followed by detailed coverage of each species.

Book excerpt: Conceptual blending, say Fauconnier (cognitive science, U. of California-San Diego) and Turner (behavioral sciences, U. of Maryland), is a great mental capacity that in its most advanced, double-scope form, gave human ancestors superiority and allowed them to develop art, science, religion, culture, sophisticated tools, and language. They investigate its principles, dynamics, and role in human life. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.

Download or read book The Translation of Violence in Children s Literature written by Marija Todorova and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considering children’s literature as a powerful repository for creating and proliferating cultural and national identities, this monograph is the first academic study of children’s literature in translation from the Western Balkans. Marija Todorova looks at a broad range of children’s literature, from fiction to creative non-fiction and picture books, across five different countries in the Western Balkans, with each chapter including detailed textual and visual analysis through the predominant lens of violence. These chapters raise questions around who initiates and effectuates the selection of children’s literature from the Western Balkans for translation into English, and interrogate the role of different stakeholders, such as translators, publishers and cultural institutions in the representation and construction of these countries in translated children’s literature, both in text and visually. Given the combination of this study’s interdisciplinary nature and Todorova’s detailed analysis, this book will prove to be an essential resource for professional translators, researchers and students in courses in translation studies, children’s literature or area studies, especially that of countries in the Western Balkans. .
