The American Food Journal
Author: A Year Inland
Author: Barbara BelyeaPublisher: Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press
ISBN: 0889208832
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 423
Book Description
Anthony Henday, a young Hudson’s Bay Company employee, set out from York Factory in June 1754 to winter with “trading Indians” along the Saskatchewan River. He adapted willingly and easily to their way of life; he also kept a journal in which he described the plains region and took note of rival French traders’ success at their inland posts. A copy of Henday’s journal was immediately sent to the company directors in London. They rewarded Henday handsomely although they were uncertain where he had travelled, what groups he had met on the plains, and what success he had in opposing rival French traders. Since then, uncertainty about Henday’s year inland has increased. The original journal disappeared; only four copies, dating from 1755 to about 1782, are extant. Each text differs from the other three; the differences range from variant spellings to word choice to contradictory statements on vital questions. All four copies are the work of a company clerk, later factor, named Andrew Graham, who used them to support his own views on HBC trading policies. Twentieth-century scholars have based their claims for Henday’s importance as an explorer, trader and observer of Native cultures on a poorly edited transcript of the 1782 text. They have been unaware or careless of the journal’s textual ambiguity. A Year Inland presents all four copies for the first time, together with contextual notes and a commentary that reassesses the journal’s information on plains geography, people and trade.

Andrew Avelar is saddened by the sudden death of his great-grandfather, Guadalupe Robert Avelar. During the will reading, he inherits a journal which contains something so shocking, that neither he nor his family will be willing to understand. His great-grandfather’s life as a cartoonist has been a huge cover-up. His great-grandparents were one of the greatest treasure hunters who ever lived. In the journal, he is sworn not to tell anyone about his real occupation. Upset of the truth, Andy agrees. One week later, the truth of the journal’s contents is revealed with his U.S. history teacher who happens to read it. Determined to get the journal away from Andy and his family, the teacher is shot and killed by hulking assassin who is determined to steal the journal for his boss. Andy escapes and now finds out the journal left several clues to find one of the biggest treasures hidden since the Civil War. The man who is now after Andy is the nephew of another well-respected treasure hunter, but this individual is known for killing others for the price of glory. The man, Richard Burke, is determined to get all of the riches to himself and claim back what originally belonged to him, as he believes. With the help of his best friend, his bratty sister, a museum tour guide, and two detectives, they are now on the race to beat Richard Burke and find the treasure before he does. The hunt for the treasure becomes a perilous journey as they are trailed by the police, mercenaries, and Richard’s personal assistants. It’s a hunt that can either make Andy very rich… or cost him and his loved ones their lives!
Salmonid Fishes
Author: Yuri P. AltukhovPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470999527
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
This important title encompasses features of genetic processes in complexly organised population systems of salmonids, one of the most commercially valuable families of fish worldwide. Translated from the original work in Russian, the authors have taken the opportunity to update and revise the work, much of it appearing in the English language for the first time. Covering such important concepts as optimal gene diversity and the unfavourable influence of fishery and hatchery reproduction on the genetic structure of salmon populations, the authors have drawn together a huge wealth of information that will form the cornerstone of much new work in the future. The authors of Salmonid Fishes have between them many years of research experience and practical knowledge in the area and the English translation of this important work, which has been edited by Professor John Thorpe and Professor Gary Carvalho, provides vital information for all those involved in salmonid management, exploitation and conservation, including fish biologists, fisheries managers, conservation and population biologists, ecologists and geneticists.
