The Emigrant's Guide to North America
Author: Robert MacDougall
Publisher: Dundurn
ISBN: 9781896219431
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Robert MacDougall's The Emigrant's Guide to North America, written in Gaelic and published in 1841, attempts to give an accurate picture of Canada. Set up to provide a practical background for Highland Scots coming to Canada, it includes all the information MacDougall feels will be necessary -- including preparation for the trip. The book also serves as a type of travelogue, describing particular sights and sounds found on the way to his ultimate destination, Goderich, in the Huron Tract. This translated work retains the unmistakable speech patterns, images and rhymes of the Gaelic language. Robert MacDougall's quirky, opinionated personality speaks clearly, seeking to dispel some myths about Canada of the time by telling the "truth." This book deserves to be read by a wide audience. "I don't know where else you could find such riches of information and observation, so compactly presented, about this exhilirating and trying time in our past. Or get so fresh a sense of a real man of that time, with his energy and sweeping opinions and flourishing rhetoric. The translator and the editor have done a splendid job." -- Alice Munro>

Author: Hendrika Jooste
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
Your D.I.Y. Move Guide to Australia is a relocation guide, written by experts who both experienced several of their own international moves with children and pets across four continents. They have helped and supported others with their relocations to Australia for over a decade. It can be used as a guide by prospective immigrants and international students who want to study in Australia. Many of the chapters provide the reader with professional knowledge, practical hints and valuable information that apply to all people who are thinking of immigration and also for those who already took the big step. It will further help the reader to avoid unnecessary and sometimes very costly mistakes. The motivation for this guide arose from the crazy questions and outdated advice on forums and social media. Saddened by stories of families who have been displaced or are falling apart, and the cries of money wasted, and expectations shattered, Robyn and Hendrika had to share their vast and professional knowledge: - To save you money on this expensive journey.- To help you and your family prepare for change.- To give you foresight, both financially and emotionally. The guide is filled with practical advice on moving with children and pets, expert tips for the whole family and lots of funny "faux pas" immigrant moments. In short, the authors have made or seen most of the blunders, and in this book, they share real-life stories, for your benefit, so you can avoid making the same mistakes. A smooth immigration process equals less stress and more positive experiences for the whole family. Between the two authors, Robyn Vogels and Hendrika Jooste, they have a total of 35 years of experience with international relocations and assisting newcomers to Australia. This guide provides you with the nuts and bolts of moving, and practical hints and valuable information to help you: - Plan and budget for the move and the cost of living in Australia.- Find a suitable home and school.- Deal with culture shock (the same, but different). You will find the knowledge you need to make a successful, cost-effective transition and create your own success story. Knowledge is power! This guide will save you money and emotional pain!
