Book Synopsis Elephant Destiny by : Martin Meredith
Download or read book Elephant Destiny written by Martin Meredith and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2009-04-27 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years, the majestic elephant has roamed the African continent, as beloved by man as it has been preyed upon. But centuries of exploitation and ivory hunting have taken their toll: now, as wars and poachers continue to ravage its habitat, as disease and political strife deflect attention from its plight, the African elephant faces imminent extinction. What will become of these magnificent beasts? As the elephant's future looms ever darker, Martin Meredith's concise and richly illustrated biography traces the elephant's history from the first ivory expeditions of the Egyptian pharaohs 2500 years ago to today, exploring along the way the indelible imprint the African elephant has made in art, literature, culture, and society. He shares recent extraordinary discoveries about the elephant's sophisticated family and community structure and reveals the remarkable ways in which elephants show compassion and loyalty to each other. Elegant, illuminating, and urgent, Elephant Destiny offers a beautiful and important tribute to one of earth's most magisterial creatures at the very moment it threatens to vanish from being.
Book Synopsis Zanzibar and his Zany Crew of Sentence Constructors by : Linda Smith Masi
Download or read book Zanzibar and his Zany Crew of Sentence Constructors written by Linda Smith Masi and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Intergalactic Space Station, Ali peered through the orbit meter set on Alexandria, Egypt around 2,000 years ago and began to sweat. Seeing the orange flames soaring higher and higher, he imagined the sound of crackling as the precious old parchments vanished. At hand was the very destruction of recorded knowledge! “King Alexander the Great did not have this Library built to lose it now!”, he explained to the city fathers. He went on to suggest, “What we know, once in the now burned books, must be written again creating books both new and old. We must find Zanzibar and his Zany Crew. My glimpse through the orbit meter/time machine reveals a future wherein the diffusion of the English language is as widespread as a fresh carpet of winter snow.” “Hurray!”, they shouted, “if many know English and we write so, the sentences, both new and old, may comprehensively grow!” This is a story recounted in a fanciful way using the true incident of the burning of the famous Library of Alexandria, Egypt, including its contents, more than two thousand years ago as a context. Joyfully in 2008, on the Egyptian coast of the Mediterranean Sea, the inauguration of the new Library of Alexandria was celebrated. The requirement of the Library to make available many texts, both new and old, is used in this book as a context for sharing the mechanics of English sentence construction. Join us as Zanzibar, appointed by the city leaders, finds the crew needed to construct and reconstruct the books, both new and old, of the ancient Library of Alexandria.
Book Synopsis The Last Frontier: The White Man's War for Civilisation in Africa by : E. Alexander Powell
Download or read book The Last Frontier: The White Man's War for Civilisation in Africa written by E. Alexander Powell and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-02 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E. Alexander Powell's 'The Last Frontier: The White Man's War for Civilisation in Africa' is a detailed and insightful account of the European colonization of Africa in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Powell's writing style is both engaging and informative, providing readers with a thorough understanding of the political, social, and economic factors that drove the expansion of European powers into Africa. The book delves into the complexities of colonialism and its impact on both the native African populations and the European colonizers, offering a balanced perspective on this controversial period in history. E. Alexander Powell, a renowned journalist and author, draws on his extensive knowledge of African history and politics to present a nuanced analysis of the white man's quest for domination in Africa. His firsthand experiences in the region lend authenticity to his narrative, making 'The Last Frontier' a valuable resource for scholars and history enthusiasts alike. Powell's commitment to uncovering the truth behind the civilizing mission in Africa sets this book apart from other accounts of colonial history. I highly recommend 'The Last Frontier' to anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the complexities of European colonialism in Africa. Powell's meticulous research and compelling storytelling make this book a must-read for anyone seeking to explore the lasting impact of imperialism on the continent.
Book Synopsis Elephant Treaties by : Rachelle Adam
Download or read book Elephant Treaties written by Rachelle Adam and published by UPNE. This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a legal history of international biodiversity treaties from the late nineteenth century to the present, Rachelle Adam argues that todayÕs biodiversity crisis is rooted in European colonial history, especially in the conservation treaties that the colonial powers (and their non-governmental counterparts) negotiated to protect AfricaÕs big-game animals. Reflecting on the colonial pastÑparticularly on efforts to manage the commerce in elephant ivoryÑAdam sheds light on why more recent attempts to arrest the decline in biodiversity by way of international agreement have failed. This volume will spur a rethinking of such agreements and trigger a search for alternatives outside of existing international structures.

Download or read book Ivory written by Keith Somerville and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-30 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Half of Tanzania's elephants have been killed for their ivory since 2007. A similar alarming story can be told of the herds in northern Mozambique and across swathes of central Africa, with forest elephants losing almost two-thirds of their numbers to the tusk trade. The huge rise in poaching and ivory smuggling in the new millennium has destroyed the hope that the 1989 ivory trade ban had capped poaching and would lead to a long-term fall in demand. But why the new upsurge? The answer is not simple. Since ancient times, large-scale killing of elephants for their tusks has been driven by demand outside Africa's elephant ranges - from the Egyptian pharaohs through Imperial Rome and industrialising Europe and North America to the new wealthy business class of China. And, who poaches and why do they do it? In recent years lurid press reports have blamed mass poaching on rebel movements and armed militias, especially Somalia's Al Shabaab, tying two together two evils - poaching and terrorism. But does this account stand up to scrutiny? This new and ground-breaking examination of the history and politics of ivory in Africa forensically examines why poaching happens in Africa and why it is corruption, crime and politics, rather than insurgency, that we should worry about.

Book Synopsis Palynology and Vegetation History by : Valentí Rull
Download or read book Palynology and Vegetation History written by Valentí Rull and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-01-11 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Research Topic commemorates the centenary of the first quantitative pollen diagram by Lennart von Post, the founder of paleoecological palynology. The main aim is to provide a thorough view of the use of palynology in aspects such as the reconstruction of Quaternary vegetation and environmental changes, the role of natural and anthropogenic drivers in the development of the Quaternary vegetation, the shaping of present-day ecological and biogeographical patterns, the potential application of this knowledge in biodiversity conservation and landscape restoration and the development of new methods of pollen analysis and data management. The Research Topic is subdivided into four main conceptual parts, namely (1) modern analog studies; (2) land cover estimates from pollen data; (3) vegetation dynamics reconstructions from Europe, North and South America, Africa and Oceania; and (4) large-scale reviews and meta-analyses. Hopefully, this Research Topic will serve to appraise the state of the art of modern palynology and highlight the usefulness of this discipline in long-term ecological research.

Bulatovich provides an insightful assessment of England's likely moves and what Menelik could do to block them, even including an invasion of the Sudan. Once again he provides previously unknown details about a critical time in Ethiopia's history. There's also a brief account of Bulatovich's fourth journey to Ethiopia in 1911, at which time he was a Russian Orthodox monk and sought to found a monastery at a lake to the south of Addis Ababa. This is a companion to Ethiopia Through Russian Eyes, about which the Kenyan journal Old Africa said, "... this is the most important book on the history of eastern Africa to have been published for a century."
