1000 tulosta hakusanalla David Boyle
From 1981 to 1996 David Quammen delighted readers of OUTSIDE magazine with his thoughtful ruminations on the world around us in his monthly column, NATURAL ACTS. This is a selection of twenty-six of his most durable and engaging essays from that column. The Boilerplate Rhino presents Quammen's distinctive take on topics such as rattlesnake handlers and rattlesnakes, eel mythology and living eels and arachnaphobia and spiders. Each essay is written in the articulate and penetrating style for which Quammen is so renowned. Each touches upon the rich and sometimes horrifically fascinating tension between man and the natural world, in all its complexity and ambivalence. The result is another irrepressible assortment of ideas to explore, conundrums to contemplate, and wondrous creatures to behold. From the acclaimed author of WILD THOUGHTS FROM WILD PLACES and the award winning THE SONG OF THE DODO.
The casual visitor to Carlisle Cathedral will notice massive sandstone walls, a magnificent ceiling, and the exquisite Flemish carving of the Brougham Triptych. Less obvious is a brass memorial tablet on the North Wall. It commemorates a man who would probably have preferred it not to be noticed. He was at one time a diffident schoolmaster at Bentham, near Lancaster, and an unassuming country vicar at Hutton Roof, near Kirkby Lonsdale. At the age of fifty-four, he was to become the most decorated non-combatant in the First World War: decorations won not in hot blood and anger, but in cool tenacious courage. He was to die only a few days before the Armistice. This book tells his story. In the modern world, where selfishness and greed dominate, it is a story of comradeship, unselfishness and an incredible heroism which should never be forgotten. Above all, it is the story of one man’s Christian witness which even the most skeptical agnostic or confirmed atheist must respect.
Rex Knight is a survivor and intends to make a life for himself in the quasi-civilized Erden where he was mysteriously teleported. Opportunities and hazards exist for a modern man in a nineteenth century world of Civil War era technology, slavery, drugs, cotton, and competing colonial empires. With Rex's help, the indigenous Wapitis have prevailed in their confrontation with warlord James Donnelly. Unfortunately, that success has earned him the odium of the not-quite-human Ichneumon emperor who has much gold and a predilection for hiring bounty hunters to collect his enemies' heads. Rex figured an alien emperor couldn't be any worse than the Afghanistan Taliban and focused on making a living in an alien world. He believed the new river steamboats and hauling cargos offered an opportunity to build a business, if their boilers would stop exploding. A young female slave claims to have solutions to that problem and Rex's Ichneumon predicament. She's willing to barter. He's not sure either of them can afford her price for helping him.
