Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sanger Rainsford is a big-game hunter, who finds himself washed up on an island owned by the eccentric General Zaroff. Zaroff, a big-game hunter himself, has heard of Rainsford’s abilities with a gun and organises a hunt. However, they’re not after animals – they’re after people. When he protests, Rainsford the hunter becomes Rainsford the hunted. Sharing similarities with "The Hunger Games", starring Jennifer Lawrence, this is the story that created the template for pitting man against man. Born in New York, Richard Connell (1893 – 1949) went on to become an acclaimed author, screenwriter, and journalist. He is best remembered for the gripping novel "The Most Dangerous Game" and for receiving an Oscar nomination for the screenplay "Meet John Doe".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a modern, synthetic overview of what is known about the structure, functioning and interactions of marine and terrestrial systems at the Prince Edward Islands. Building on more than 50 years of biological, geological, meteorological, and oceanographic research, it demonstrates not only how inextricably linked marine and terrestrial systems at the islands are, but also how global environmental challenges, such as climate change, biological invasions, and over exploitation, are playing out at the regional and local levels in the Southern Ocean.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rainsford is a big-game hunter (think elephants and tigers) who basically couldn't give a hoot about his prey. It's all about the hunt, kill, and impressive skins. After he falls from his Brazil-bound yacht, Sanger Rainsford makes it to the rocky shore of "Ship-Trap" Island. Safe at last! Those jaguars in the Amazon will just have to wait for their day of reckoning. He crawls through the gnarled jungle growth and along the shore until he makes it to a fortress/chateau managed under the watchful eye of the gun-toting butler/in-house torture specialist, Ivan. There he meets his host, a shady character named General Zaroff. This elegant man is a member of the Russian nobility who had to get out of town when the Communists took over Russia in 1917. Initially, Zaroff is the perfect host. But then the truth comes out: he's actually the perfect psychopath. After getting bored hunting animals, he's begun luring people to his island with a cute little trick involving misleading ships into thinking there's a channel where there isn't one. Voila! Fresh prey. But this guy's no bully. He gives people the choice: be hunted for three days and go free if you survive, or be whipped to death by Ivan, who used to be the Czar's designated sadist.

Download or read book Culture and Archaeology of the Ancestral Unangax̂/Aleut of the Aleutian Islands, Alaska written by Debra Corbett and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-03 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past 9,000 years, people lived and flourished along the 1,000-mile Aleutian archipelago reaching from the American continent nearly to Asia. The Aleutian chain and surrounding waters supported 40,000 or more people before the Russians arrived. Despite the antiquity of continuous human occupation, the size of the area, and the fascinating and complex social organization, the region has received scant notice from the public. This volume provides a thorough review describing the varied cultures of the ancestral Unangax̂, using archaeological reports, articles, and unpublished data; documented Unangax̂ oral histories, and ethnohistories from early European and American visitors, assessed through the authors’ multi-decade experience working in the Aleutian Archipelago. Unangam Tanangin ilan Unangax̂/Aliguutax̂ Maqax̂singin ama Kadaangim Tanangin Anaĝix̂taqangis (Culture and Archaeology of the Ancestral Unangax̂/Aleut of the Aleutian Islands, Alaska) begins with a description of the physical and biological world (The Physical Environment and The Living Environment) of which the Unangax̂ are part, followed by a description of the archaeological research in the region (The People). The rest of the book addresses ancestral Unangax̂ life including settlement on the land, and the characteristics of sites based on the activities that took place there (People on the Landscape). From this broad perspective, the view narrows to the people making a living through hunting, fishing, and collecting food along the shore-line, making their intricate tools, storing and cooking food, and sewing and weaving (Making a Living); household life including house construction, households, and the work done within the home (Life at Home); and the personal changes an individual goes through from the time they are born through death, including spiritual transitions and ceremonies (Transitions), and the evidence for these events in the material record. This book is written in gratitude to the Unangax̂ and Aleut people for the opportunity to work in Unangam Tanangin or the Aleutian Islands, and to learn about your culture. We hope you find this book useful. The purpose of this book is to introduce the broader public to the cultures of this North Pacific archipelago in a single source, while simultaneously providing researchers a comprehensive synthesis of archaeology in the region.

Download or read book No Artist Is An Island written by Marques Vickers and published by Marquis Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-28 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition is a brutally candid confessional on the misconceptions regarding an idyllic lifestyle practiced on a Western Washington island. Herron Island supports a permanent population of 150 with residential properties spread over 300 acres. The island features no existing stores or commercial properties. It is separated from the ill-reputed Key Peninsula mainland by the Case Inset waterways of southern Puget Sound. Between 2017-2021, the artist/writer resided in a newly purchased trailer coach under the radar of county regulation scrutiny. While establishing his art studio and writing compound, he navigated the tenuous existence of scheduling a social lifestyle based on an unaccommodating ferry schedule. His memoir skates the blurry edges between recollection, discretion and outright fiction. The author profiles the particularities of peculiar residents. Full heaping helpings of satire, humor and periodic sorrow are dished with irreverence and a subtle wink to the reader. Anecdotes regarding his past and intimate musings are interwoven into present day island personality tales. He gently surveys a community of diverse individuals while frequently examining his own motives for island residence. He identifies random acts of kindness, hilarity and obnoxious personalities. Names are sometimes changed in portraying the guilty. Among his profiles include the legendary Samsquatch, Pessimists Society, Catastrophe Clean-Up, Seattle Freeze, Key Peninsula, Ferry Drydocking, Dead Neighbor’s Property Auction, Laundromats, Captain Curley’s Corner, Uninspiring Island History, Festivals, Tansy Patrol, Sustainable Next-Door Neighbors and the longest-term island residents, Black-Tailed Deer. An elected Homeowner’s Board of Directors manages the island’s interests influenced by self-interest. Factions battle for control of island financial and aesthetic policies. He is warned early to avoid island politics by one of the worst instigators who will later target him. The warring parties include Residents versus Weekenders, Party Enthusiasts versus Isolationists and Pensioners versus Younger Homeowners. Their exchanges are generally passive aggressive, but sometimes barbed blades steeled by malicious whisperings within this micro-universe. The author explains how he initially discovered Herron Island and impulsively purchased two land parcels. During his residence, he established a sculptural park amidst his single forested acre. He would ultimately be obliged to re-sell or destroy all of his constructions, renovations and outdoor artwork upon the sale of his property. His account of the real estate transaction is straightforward and tinged with melancholy. This chronicle is an accurate appraisal of the realities involved with permanent island residency. Herron Island remains a comparative bargain to more affluent Fox, Vashon, Mercer and Bainbridge Islands. For the majority of long-term residents and weekenders, the absence of pretense and a sense pf security are its most treasured features. The island remains generally unknown throughout Western Washington. Anonymity and eccentricity are considered welcome traits.

Download or read book The Most Dangerous Cinema written by Bryan Senn and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People hunting people for sport--an idea both shocking and fascinating. In 1924 Richard Connell published a short story that introduced this concept to the world, where it has remained ever since--as evidenced by the many big- and small-screen adaptations and inspirations. Since its publication, Connell's award-winning "The Most Dangerous Game" has been continuously anthologized and studied in classrooms throughout America. Raising questions about the nature of violence and cruelty, and the ethics of hunting for sport, the thrilling story spawned a new cinematic subgenre, beginning with RKO's 1932 production of The Most Dangerous Game, and continuing right up to today. This book examines in-depth all the cinematic adaptations of the iconic short story. Each film chapter has a synopsis, a "How Dangerous Is It?" critique, an overall analysis, a production history, and credits. Five additional chapters address direct to video, television, game shows, and almost "dangerous" productions. Photographs, extensive notes, bibliography and index are included.

Book excerpt: 'Cary is great with a gun and deadpan about danger' Spectator Bill Cary makes a precarious living flying aerial surveys over Lapland. When he's hired by a wealthy American hunter, Frederick Wells Homer, to fly into a prohibited part of Finland near the Soviet border, the job seems shady indeed, and when a major crook wants him to go on the hunt for Tsarist treasure, things get messy. With thugs and the Finnish Secret Service already on his tail, matters get worse when Homer's beautiful sister turns up to search for him, and Cary's fellow bush pilots start getting killed off in a series of suspicious accidents. Cary begins to realise that it may all stem from an incident in his wartime past. The Most Dangerous Game was shortlisted for the British Crime Writers Association Gold Dagger Award.
