Описание: In the late 1800s, Thomas Elwood "Billy" Hofer became nearly as much a fixture of Yellowstone National Park as Old Faithful Geyser. As a wilderness guide, wildlife census taker, explorer, and expert skier, tracker, and naturalist, Hofer acquired a vast and intimate knowledge of all things Yellowstone. He became the go-to expert for presidents and politicians, park service professionals and intrepid reporters. Through numerous articles in Forest and Stream Magazine he told the country about Yellowstone and advocated for its protection. He even captured wildlife alive for the Smithsonian National Zoological Park in Washington, D.C., and visited President Theodore Roosevelt in the White House. Yet Billy Hofer, as important as he was to the park's early history, became a "lost legend"--until now.After extensive research, Professor Scott Herring (Rough Trip Through Yellowstone) has written the only biography of this fascinating character. With detailed citations that delve into the park's early history, this book is an astonishing chronicle of a man who helped make Yellowstone what it is today.
Автор: Lee Wallace, Scott Herring Название: Long Term: Essays on Queer Commitment ISBN: 1478014237 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781478014232 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 23370.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The contributors to Long Term use the tension between the popular embrace and legalization of same-sex marriage and the queer critique of homonormativity as an opportunity to examine the myriad forms of queer commitments and their durational aspect. They consider commitment in all its guises, particularly relationships beyond and aside from monogamous partnering. These include chosen and involuntary long-term commitments to families, friends, pets, and coworkers; to the care of others and care of self; and to financial, psychiatric, and carceral institutions. Whether considering the enduring challenges of chronic illnesses and disability, including HIV and chronic fatigue syndrome; theorizing the queer family as a scene of racialized commitment; or relating the grief and loss that comes with caring for pets, the contributors demonstrate that attending to the long term offers a fuller understanding of queer engagements with intimacy, mortality, change, dependence, and care.
