Book Description
Migration, demographic changes and new cultural references are reshaping New Zealand. It is fast becoming a hub where Pacific and Tasman currents meet. As a result, New Zealand is changing, in response to surging tides of people and ideas. Pacific Highways explores and maps the new New Zealand, in the words of the country’s finest writers, including Kate de Goldi, C. K. Stead, Bernard Beckett, Owen Marshall, Hinemoana Baker and many more. This collection of original essays, memoir, poetry, fiction and reportage will challenge the way you think about New Zealand. From reports from the Kiwi Diaspora in Australia, to a consideration of the growing Asian economic and cultural influence and the contribution of Pacific society to the arts and sports, this portrait of New Zealand takes you beyond the tourist brochures to something truly original. This edition co-edited by Lloyd Jones and Julianne Schultz, with support from Creative New Zealand.

The Translation of a Savage, Complete

Publisher: DigiCat
ISBN:
Category : Fiction

Pages : 140
Book Description
The book opens with the current life events in the character of Frank Armour. He is a wealthy English gentleman currently in Canada working for the Hudson Bay Company. He was engaged in England to be married to a young lady of whom his parents were not in favor, since she was from a poor family, and he is admired by a much wealthier young woman. However, both these engagements are ended suddenly by mail from England and Mr. Armour has since become engaged to a young Indian woman. This is a situation that is most certainly not approved, and it does reveal the typical attitudes of that time toward non-whites.

Health and Welfare of Captive Reptiles
Author: Clifford Warwick
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030860124
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 637
Book Description
This extensively revised and expanded new edition offers concepts, principles and applied information that relates to the wellbeing of reptiles. As a manual on health and welfare in a similar vein to volumes addressing the sciences of anatomy, behaviour or psychology, this book thoroughly examines the biology of reptile welfare and is about meeting biological needs. The editors, acknowledged experts in their own right, have once again drawn together an extremely impressive international group of contributors. Positive and negative implications of general husbandry and research programs are discussed. In addition to greatly revised original content are nine new chapters offering readers novel insight into: • sensory systems • social behaviour • brain and cognition • controlled deprivation and enrichment • effects of captivity-imposed noise and light disturbance on welfare • spatial and thermal factors• evidential thresholds for species suitability in captivity • record keeping as an aid to captive care • arbitrary husbandry practices and misconceptions The authors have adopted a user-friendly writing style to accommodate a broad readership. Although primarily aimed at academic professionals, this comprehensive volume is fundamentally a biology book that will also inform all involved in captive reptile husbandry. Among others, zoo personnel, herpetologists, veterinarians, lab animal scientists, and expert readers in animal welfare and behavioural studies will benefit from this updated work.

North American Box Turtles
Author: C. Kenneth Dodd
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 9780806135014
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
Once a familiar backyard visitor in many parts of the United States and Mexico, the box turtle is losing the battle against extinction. In North American Box Turtles, C. Kenneth Dodd, Jr., has written the first book-length natural history of the twelve species and subspecies of this endangered animal. This volume includes comprehensive information on the species’ evolution, behavior, courtship and reproduction, habitat use, diet, population structure, systematics, and disease. Special features include color photos of all species, subspecies, and their habitats; a simple identification guide to both living and fossil species; and a summary of information on fossil Terrapene and Native uses of box turtles. End-of-chapter sections highlight future research directions, including the need for long-term monitoring and observation of box turtles within their natural habitat and conservation applications. A glossary and a bibliography of literature on box turtles accompany the text. All royalties from the sales of this volume will go to the Chelonian Research Foundation, a nonprofit foundation for the conservation of turtles.
