Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eastern waterfowlers, who know the black duck best, regard this big dusky bird as the top game bird against which all other ducks are measured. In parts of the Northeast this feeling of affection is so strong that in some circles only the black rates the name of "duck." All other species, even the famed canvasback, are "coots," "fish ducks," or are known by even less complimentary titles. Much of this devotion is justified. Without the black duck, wildfowling in much of the thickly settled East would be an unrewarding pastime. Big as a mallard, as wary as a Canada goose, and as handsome in full plumage as any duck that flies, the black duck fills a place on the American sporting scene that could be filled by no other waterfowl. Here is the dramatic story of the life of the black duck, from the time the broods hatch on the spruce-lined ponds of eastern Canada, through the hazardous flights to the southern wintering areas, to the return of the paired birds to the nesting grounds in spring. It is a story told authoritatively by a Canadian scientist whose adult life has been spent in studying the black duck from the fastnesses of its northern breeding grounds in Labrador and Ungava Bay, to the marshes of Louisiana. In this book are facts on the black and other species of waterfowl that will be new to many students of waterfowl as well as to sportsmen. Here also are recommendations for perpetuating the flights of these magnificent game birds.

Download or read book East Wind written by Tom Buchanan and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-04-19 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: East Wind offers the first complete, archive-based account of the relationship between China and the British Left, from the rise of modern Chinese nationalism to the death of Mao Tse tung. Beginning with the "Hands Off China" movement of the mid-1920s, Tom Buchanan charts the mobilisation of British opinion in defence of China against Japanese aggression, 1931-1945, and the role of the British left in relations with the People's Republic of China after 1949. He shows how this relationship was placed under stress by the growing unpredictability of Communist China, above all by the Sino-Soviet dispute and the Cultural Revolution, which meant that by the 1960s China was actively supported only by a dwindling group of enthusiasts. The impact of the suppression of the student protests in Tiananmen Square (June 1989) is addressed as an epilogue. East Wind argues that the significance of the left's relationship with China has been unjustly overlooked. There were many occasions, such as the mid-1920s, the late 1930s and the early 1950s, when China demanded the full attention of the British left. It also argues that there is nothing new in the current fascination with China's emergence as an economic power. Throughout these decades the British left was aware of the immense, unrealised potential of the Chinese economy, and of how China's economic growth could transform the world. In addition to analysing the role of the political parties and pressure groups of the left, Buchanan sheds new light on the activities of many well-known figures in support of China, including intellectuals such as Bertrand Russell, R H Tawney and Joseph Needham. Many other interesting stories emerge, concerning less well-known figures, which show the complexity of personal links between Britain and China during the twentieth century.

This book was released on 1963 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During late March and April 1961, the USCGC EASTWIND (WAGB-279) occupied 30 oceanographic stations in the Indian Ocean. Three sections were made, one running from off Cape Leeuwin, Australia west as far as 78 E. longitude, a second continuing north from this point to 40 N. latitude, and the third which continued west to just south of Socotra Island. Measurements were made of temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen; and from these data density, sound velocity, and percentage of saturation of dissolved oxygen were derived. Transparency was determined by Secchi disc, and the Deep Scattering Layer was observed. Continuous recording of bottom depths by echo sounder was carried out through a region where few soundings had hitherto been reported. Northward reaching tongues of Antarctic Intermediate water are shown on the southern profile and on the southnorth profile along the 78 E. meridian. In mid-Indian Ocean, these masses push up toward the surface causing a divergence which is apparent in the salinity and dissolved oxygen profiles. Also delineated are high salinity waters with very low oxygen content which come from the Arabian and Red Seas. The Deep Scattering Layer disappears in mid-Indian Ocean and reappears again to the north, following a similar pattern to that already observed in the Pacific Ocean. (Author).
