Dingo Bold is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between people and dingoes. At its heart is Rowena Lennox's encounter with a dingo on the beach on K'gari (Fraser Island), a young male she nicknames Bold. Struck by this experience, and by the intense, often polarised opinions expressed in public conversations about dingo conservation and control, she sets out to understand the complex relationship between humans and dingoes.
Weaving together ecological data, interviews with people connected personally and professionally with K'gari's dingoes, and Lennox's expansive reading of literary, historical and scientific accounts, Dingo Bold considers what we know about the history of relations between dingoes and humans, and what preconceptions shape our attitudes today. Do we see dingoes as native wildlife or feral dogs? Wild or domesticated animals? A tourist attraction or a threat? And how do our answers to these questions shape our interactions with them?
Dingo Bold is both a moving memoir of love and loss through Lennox's observations of the natural world and an important contribution to wider conversations about conservation and animal welfare.
"Combining natural history, Indigenous culture, folklore, memoir, and environmental politics, this is an elegantly written and affectionate tribute to Australia's most maligned and least understood native animal." Jacqueline Kent
"Fuelled by empathy, curiosity and passion, and informed by research, data and observation, this moving and compelling book speaks to the heart and to the head. Rowena Lennox poses questions about our relationship with dingoes - and our role in the natural world - that are as bold and lively as her subject." Debra Adelaide

Описание: This is a series of anecdotes from my misspent youth as I went over to the dark side and got involved with motorcycles. If you are into motorcycles, planes, cars, and things to do with boats, I have a few stories to tell you. It is an interest in colonial Kenya and New Zealand life as seen in the eyes of a guy from long ago and far away. It has stories from my ninety-seven-year-old dad in Seychelles, his WWII service, his deals with his experiences in the Mau Mau Emergency in Kenya, and him bringing his family to New Zealand in the sixties. In the seventies and eighties, I served my twenty years in the RNZAF, putting down a lot of my mishaps and adventures in an interesting time domestically and overseas.

Описание: When Norman Maclean sent the manuscript of A River Runs through It and Other Stories to New York publishers, he received a slew of rejections. One editor, so the story goes, replied, "it has trees in it." Forty years later, the title novella is recognized as one of the great American tales of the twentieth century, and Maclean as one of the most beloved writers of our time. The finely distilled product of a long life of often surprising rapture--for fly-fishing, for the woods, for the interlocked beauty of life and art--A River Runs through It has established itself as a classic of the American West. This new edition will introduce a fresh audience to Maclean's beautiful prose and understated emotional insights.
Elegantly redesigned, A River Runs through It includes a new foreword by Robert Redford, director of the Academy Award-winning 1992 film adaptation of River. Based on Maclean's own experiences as a young man, the book's two novellas and short story are set in the small towns and mountains of western Montana. It is a world populated with drunks, loggers, card sharks, and whores, but also one rich in the pleasures of fly-fishing, logging, cribbage, and family. By turns raunchy and elegiac, these superb tales express, in Maclean's own words, "a little of the love I have for the earth as it goes by."

Описание: Schrodinger shows how the trichromatic (or Young-Helmholtz) theory of color and the opponent-process (or Hering) theory of color are formally the same theory, or at least only trivially different. These translations of Schrodinger`s bold concepts for color space have a fresh resonance and importance for contemporary color theory.

Описание: Graham Paint is a downsizing consultant, and sick of it. One morning he misses his bus when he stops to put a strange caterpillar in a matchbox. As the bus passes he's shocked to spot himself inside. Like Schr dinger's Cat in the famous quantum thought experiment, the caterpillar's spawned parallel possibilities. This comic novel explores Graham's search for a better life among the various overlapping alternatives. Another clone, Grim Dupeint, is a loathsome international arms dealer. Graham infiltrates Grim's corporation, then embezzles cash for charity. When a furious Grim realises, Graham must act fast. And right now he's acting like fish food. Graham launches upon a new lifestyle (and sex life) as he dons the designer suits of power. But sinister figures soon see through Graham's clothing. Now Graham's under attack from the corporation, the police, his ex-wife's private detective, and an infuriatingly pompous water-colourist who Graham might have been if he'd gone to art college rather than business school. To survive (and steal the artist's wonderful woman) Graham needs to find hidden resources. By definition Dopplegraham's equally resourceful. Bugger...

Quantenphysik verstehen Sie nicht?
Mit diesem Buch wird sich das ndern. Denn wenn Emmy, die Mischlingsh ndin des Autors, bei Themen wie Teilchen-Welle-Dualismus, Unbestimmtheit, Teleportation und Quantentunneln mitreden kann, dann k nnen Sie es auch. Und Sie werden tierischen Spa dabei haben.
"Mein Hund Kodi behauptet, dass Chad Orzel Physik viel klarer und mit weit mehr Humor erkl rt, als ich es je getan habe. Und er beh lt mich jetzt nur noch wegen meiner opponierbaren Daumen."John Scalzi, Autor von Der wilde Planet und Die letzte Kolonie
Dank Chad Orzel und seiner reizenden Promenadenmischung Emmy habe ich endlich das Heisenberg'sche Unsch rfeprinzip verstanden, ganz zu schweigen von manchen wichtigen Konzepten, die Emmy vermutlich schneller begriffen hat als ich. Schr dingers Hund ist ein Segen f r alle, die die moderne Physik nie bew ltigt haben - oder nicht einen blassen Schimmer davon haben. Ich kann doch unm glich der Einzige sein.Spencer Quinn, Autor von Bernie und Chet: Ein Hundekrimi
Dieses reizende kleine Buch bietet eine leichte und unterhaltsame Gelegenheit f r Laien, einen der seltsamsten und wichtigsten Bereiche der modernen Wissenschaft kennenzulernen. Es ist gleichzeitig eine Quelle f r Lehrende der Quantenmechanik, die einem breiten Publikum diese neuen Ideen wirksamer vermitteln wollen.William D. Phillips, Physiknobelpreitr ger 1997
Ich war schon immer der Meinung, dass jeder mit den Wundern der Quantenmechanik vertraut sein sollte. Aber ich wusste nicht, dass dazu auch Hunde geh ren Chad Orzels Buch ist eine mitrei ende und am sante Einf hrung in eines der tiefsten Mysterien der modernen Physik. Und Emmy ist ein Star.Sean Carroll, Autor von From Eternity to Here
Ein humorvolles Buch, in dem die Quantenphysik auf den Hund kommt ... Ein pures Lesevergn gen.wissenschaft-shop.de
Fazit: Ein unterhaltsames und witziges Buch ... absolut geeignet f r Einsteiger.astrotreff.de
_____
Als der Physikprofessor Chad Orzel sich zum Tierheim begibt, um einen Hund zu adoptieren, hat er nicht mit Emmy gerechnet. Sie ist nicht einfach eine nette Promenadenmischung, die ein neues Zuhause braucht; vielmehr entwickelt sie umgehend ein gro es Interesse daran, womit ihr neuer Besitzer seinen Unterhalt verdient und was f r sie dabei herausspringen k nnte. Sehr bald schon versucht sie, die seltsamen Ideen der Quantenmechanik f r die wirklich wichtigen Dinge im Leben zu nutzen: Beute jagen, kleine Belohnungen bekommen, drau en herumtollen. Sie l chert Chad mit ihren Fragen: K nnte sie nicht vielleicht mit quantenmechanischem Tunneln den Zaun zum Nachbargrundst ck durchdringen, um die Hasen dort zu jagen? Wie w re es mit Quantenteleportation, um Eichh rnchen zu fangen, bevor diese auf B ume au er Reichweite klettern k nnen? Gibt es vielleicht andere Universen, in denen Chad sein Steak auf den Boden fallen l sst? Und was ist mit den H schen aus K se, die aus dem Nichts im Garten auftauchen sollten?
Mit viel Humor erkl rt Chad seiner sprechenden H ndin und seinen menschlichen Lesern anschaulich, was Quantenmechanik ist und wie sie funktioniert - und warum sie seltsam, erstaunlich und wichtig f r jeden Hund und Mensch ist, auch wenn man sie nicht wirklich daf r nutzen kann, Eichh rnchen zu jagen oder sich Steaks einzuverleiben.
Folgen Sie Chad und Emmy bei ihren Diskussionen ber die wichtigsten Elemente der Quantentheorie: von Teilchen, die sich wie Wellen verhalten, ber die Heisenberg'sche Unsch rferelation bis zur Quantenverschr nkung (und damit der "spukhaften Fernwirkung") und zu virtuellen Partikeln. Nebenbei sprechen die beiden Protagonisten ber die Geschichte der Theorie, etwa ber die entscheidenden Experimente zum Welle-Teilchen-Dualismus und ber die jahrzehntelangen Diskussionen zwische

Have you ever wondered why baseball players are said to be In the Hole, Stepping in the Bucket, On the Bump, Flashing Leather or Getting on Their Horse?
Baseballedgy - Baseball Expressions & Terminology Handbook was written to explain to players and spectators the many fun, useful, and unique baseball terms and phrases. Baseball has carried down numerous phrases and terms and the language continues to expand. Most of the terms in the book are idioms, which means that they are completely different than what a person usually thinks of when they hear them. Examples of baseball idioms are Bullpen, Ducks on the Pond, Frozen Rope, Rolling a Pair, Hot Corner, Merry Go Round and Snow Cone. The book describes these terms and idioms related to the baseball field itself, along with those associated with batting, base running, pitching, and fielding.
Baseballedgy is full of colorful illustrations and is a fun book to read. It can serve as a "go-to" reference for young players who are learning the game and expanding their baseball related vocabulary. Reading the book together will provide children, families, and friends with an enjoyable and educational experience.
"What Andrew has done with the language of the game is refreshing to see. Baseball has carried down with it so many little phrases and it is still expanding That's what makes the game more than a game. It is the personal experiences within the dugout and locker room that we enjoy and remember for years and years. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. "Andrew, you hit a home run my friend " Howard "HoJo" Johnson
The author of more than twenty books and a revered contributor to numerous national publications, Charles Bowden (1945–2014) used his keen storyteller’s eye to reveal both the dark underbelly and the glorious determination of humanity, particularly in the borderlands between the United States and Mexico. In America’s Most Alarming Writer, key figures in his life—including his editors, collaborators, and other writers—deliver a literary wake for the man who inspired them throughout his forty-year career.
Part revelation, part critical assessment, the fifty essays in this collection span the decades from Bowden’s rise as an investigative journalist through his years as a singular voice of unflinching honesty about natural history, climate change, globalization, drugs, and violence. As the Chicago Tribune noted, “Bowden wrote with the intensity of Joan Didion, the voracious hunger of Henry Miller, the feral intelligence and irony of Hunter Thompson, and the wit and outrage of Edward Abbey.” An evocative complement to The Charles Bowden Reader, the essays and photographs in this homage brilliantly capture the spirit of a great writer with a quintessentially American vision. Bowden is the best writer you’ve (n)ever read.
