SULLIVAN

"A tortuous test of any civic poet's craft, skill and creativity; this 'pot pourri' of a collection consists entirely of those poetic works either commissioned by Plymouth City Council itself, or gifted at their request, during Sullivan's tenure as this proud and historic city's inaugural Poet Laureate."

"An unembellished and more or less unillustrated assemblage of some of Sullivan the Poet's finest and favourite works - a broad collection of poetry presented 'hard core'. An opus: Centred on one thing and one thing only...The Word!"

Growth is a fundamental human need. It is at the root of everything that gives us a feeling of accomplishment, satisfaction, meaning, and progress. Yet many people find their growth stalled at some point. In The Laws of Lifetime Growth, Dan Sullivan and Catherine Nomura offer ten simple laws that everyone can use to keep a fresh, innovative perspective on their lives and the world around them. These laws are the distillation of Sullivan's years of coaching successful people, paying attention to what motivates them and what unlocks their greatest abilities. Each chapter is devoted to exploring one of the ten laws in detail, including stories of people from all walks of life who exemplify the law in action, common pitfalls that people often run into trying to apply the law, and practical strategies for getting past those obstacles. This second edition includes new examples, a self-assessment to measure your progress, and access to an interactive online tool. Once you start to integrate these laws into your life, you'll never outgrow them, they'll never become obsolete, and they will continue to lead you to greater happiness and fulfillment.

"As enigmatic as it is brutally uncompromising; this collection of illustrated works showcases the surgical insight and relentless quest for truth that is 'Sullivan the Poet' at his poetic best. "

"An eclectic collection of poetry to appeal to all tastes - with styles and formats as various as its subject matter. A particular brand of poetry - from a very particular brand of poet.."

This title is an insightful collection of essays and reports examining key issues in the conservation and management of archaeological sites. The fifth volume in the Getty's "Readings in Conservation" series features more than seventy texts that have made important contributions to the understanding of the conservation and management of archaeological sites, addressing key issues from both a historical and a contemporary perspective. The readings cover a broad spectrum of site types, geographic locations, cultural contexts, and methodological approaches and techniques. They range chronologically from early eighteenth-century memoirs and late nineteenth - and early twentieth-century texts by such pioneers as Heinrich Schliemann and Sir Arthur Evans to a thorough representation of recent scholarship. The volume is divided into five parts focusing on historical methods, concepts, and issues; conserving the archaeological resource; the physical conservation of archaeological sites; the cultural values of archaeological sites; and site management.

"Another eclectic mix of poetry from the pen of Sullivan the Poet - with themes as diverse as the plethora of styles employed in their sometimes brutal execution - and delivered throughout with his customary candour.."

For centuries the hunting of the whale was what defined the Makah, a Native American tribe in Neah Bay, but when commercial whaling drove the gray whale to near extinction in the 1920s, the Makah voluntarily discontinued their tradition and hung up their harpoons. In 1994, after the gray whale was taken off the endangered species list, the Makah decided to hunt again. The problem was that all the old whalers were dead -- no one knew how to go about hunting a whale. "A Whale Hunt" chronicles the two years Robert Sullivan spends with the Makah as they prepare for and stage the first hunt. Combating tribal infighting and inexperience, they must also face passionate, furious animal rights activists and swarming reporters. Before the ragtag group of hunters even pursues a whale, there are clashes, disappointments, and defeats, small triumphs and unexpected heroes. A book of many layers and revelations, "A Whale Hunt" is the story of the demise and attempted resurrection of a Native American nation and of the individuals on the reservation whose lives are forever changed.

Suggesting that better understanding of conflicts between Anglo and Latin America can come from the study of their contrasting popular fictions, the author compares the traditional attachment in Latin America to government by a strong man-a caudillo-to the diametrically opposed expansionist frontier ideology of the United States-the cowboy-who makes space safe for Anglo colonization.
