Download or read book Herbert Ponting written by Anne Strathie and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2021-03-26 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herbert Ponting (1870-1935) was young bank clerk when he bought an early Kodak compact camera. By the early 1900s, he was living in California, working as a professional photographer, known for stereoview and enlarged images of America, Japan and the Russo-Japanese war. In 1909, back in Britain, Ponting was recruited by Captain Robert Scott as photographer and filmmaker for his second Antarctic expedition. In 1913, following the deaths of Scott and his South Pole party companions, Ponting's images of Antarctica were widely published, and he gave innovative 'cinema-lectures' on the expedition. When war broke out, Ponting's offers to serve as a photographer or correspondent were declined, but in 1918 he, Ernest Shackleton and other Antarctic veterans joined a government-backed Arctic expedition. During the economically depressed 1920s and 1930s, Ponting wrote his Antarctic memoir, re-worked his Antarctic films into silent and 'talkie' versions and worked on inventions. Like others, he struggled financially but was sustained by correspondence with photographic equipment magnate George Eastman, a late-life romance with singer Glae Carrodus and knowing that his images of Antarctica had secured his place in photographic and filmmaking history.
Book Synopsis Life of Tom Candy Ponting by : Tom Candy Ponting
Download or read book Life of Tom Candy Ponting written by Tom Candy Ponting and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cattle driving was a major economic activity in the 19th century American West, particularly between 1856 and 1896. Texas Longhorns were a tough breed of cattle, in a tough place—Texas. And tough were the men that drove them. Two such men, though hardly men at all, had a plan. Young Tom Candy Ponting, the son of a farmer from Somerset, England, and his partner, Washington Malone, had heard stories of the availability of cattle in Texas. The durable, hardy Texas cattle were practically running wild and could be bought for next to nothing. Ponting and Malone would buy, herd and sell cattle, all the time saving their money, so they could ride to Texas and buy Longhorns. They’d drive them all the way to New York—something that had never been done before. The trip would take over a year, so the cattle would winter in the Midwest and fatten on corn. The drive and the corn would turn an “$8 to $12 dollar steer” from Texas, into an “$80 to a $100 dollar steer” in New York. The present volume contains Tom Candy Ponting’s recollections of his time as a drover. Written on the urging of his children, Ponting’s memoirs were originally published in very limited numbers in 1907, and then again in 1952 in revised format.

Download or read book Captain's Diary 2009 written by Ricky Ponting and published by HarperCollins Australia. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Season of Tests, Turmoil and Twenty20 Few Australian cricket captains have had a tougher time than that experienced by Ricky Ponting in 2008-09 - a controversial test tour of India, series home and away against South Africa, more than 30 ODIs, the ICC World twenty20. And, finally, the fight for the Ashes.Ponting began the year with a better winning percentage than any other captain in test history, but this adventure ended in disappointment, as his young side fell just short in England after a typically dramatic confrontation. the task of replacing recently retired champions such as Warne, McGrath, Gilchrist and Hayden is still a work in progress. However, this is a story with many positives, as Ponting's Australians produced a number of impressive performances, most notably in South Africa, when they stunned the home side in consecutive matches, and at Leeds, when they completed one of the most decisive test wins of recent times. the emergence of young guns such as Mitchell Johnson, Ben Hilfenhaus, Phillip Hughes and Peter Siddle points to an exciting future. throughout the period of cricket recalled in Ashes Diary 2009, Ponting played with a steely spirit that impressed many observers, including the Guardian newspaper which, after the final Ashes test, wrote, 'Staring down the barrel of a loss that must have hurt more than any other in his career, Ponting showed what a class act he is.' During the series, he had become Australia's highest test run-scorer. At the end, the crowd at the Oval gave him an extended standing ovation.this insider's account follows the path that led to this increased respect. It had been quite a year ...
Book Synopsis The Grade Cricketer by : Dave Edwards
Download or read book The Grade Cricketer written by Dave Edwards and published by Melbourne Books. This book was released on 2018-09-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the world of The Grade Cricketer. Described as the most original voice in cricket, The Grade Cricketer represents the fading hopes and dreams of every ageing amateur sportsman. In this tell-all 'autobiography', The Grade Cricketer describes his cricketing career with unflinching honesty and plenty of humour, in turn providing insights into the hyper-masculine cricket 'dressing room'. This one-time junior prodigy is now experiencing the lean, increasingly existential years of adult cricket. Here, he learns quickly that one will need more than just runs and wickets to make it in the alpha-dominated grade cricket jungle, where blokes like Nuggsy, Bruiser, Deeks and Robbo reign supreme. Through it all, The Grade Cricketer lays bare his deepest insecurities - his relationship with Dad, his fleeting romances outside the cricket club - and, in turn, we witness a gentle maturation; a slow realisation that perhaps, just maybe, there is more to life than hitting 50 not out in third grade and enjoying a few celebratory beers afterwards. Or is there? * * * The Grade Cricketer book is based upon the popular Twitter account, @gradecricketer, which has received critical acclaim for its frighteningly honest portrayal of amateur cricket. Now, the time has finally come for this middling amateur sportsman to tell his story in full. 'The Grade Cricketer is the finest tribute to a sport since Nick Hornby's Fever Pitch, and the best cricket book in yonks. It's belly-laughing funny but it's also a hymn to the grand and complex game delivered with a narrative pace and ability I'm afraid most Test players don't have. For anyone who ever dreamed of excelling at a sport but never quite made it but still gave it your life, this is the story. A great read!' - Tom Keneally AO.
Book Synopsis Ricky Ponting's Underpants by : Paul Lazenby
Download or read book Ricky Ponting's Underpants written by Paul Lazenby and published by Troubador Publishing. This book was released on 2013-05 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A father took his son to a Test match and ignited a passion that would last from Dennis Lillee smacking Tony Greig into the Tavern at Lord's to Kevin Pietersen hammering Brett Lee round The Oval. Shortly after that first Test match the man died, leaving the boy with Geoff Boycott for company. However, the love for a game that he had bequeathed remained, shaping his son, supporting him and giving him experiences he would not otherwise have had. In between Lillee and Pietersen: Allan Lamb reflected the spirit that confronted the miners; a former winner of the Evening Standard's Best Young Cricketer of the Year award became Prime Minister; Fred Trueman's daughter married Raquel Welch's son; Henry Blofeld informed radio listeners that Calcutta was celebrating the assassination of Mahatma Ghandi; Anna Kournikova helped boost Darren Gough's finances and Al Qaida helped hasten the end of a Glamorgan off-spinner's international career. Through all of this, the English cricket team was mostly rubbish. Were all of these things unconnected or, as CLR James believed about Bodyline, was cricket reflective of and inextricably linked to what was going on around it? More importantly, could the England team complete an apparent resurgence by considering the state of the Australian captain's underwear? Ricky Ponting's Underpants is the boy's story over 30 years of false dawns and misplaced optimism supporting a side that, at one point, were worse than Zimbabwe.

Download or read book The Crimean War written by Clive Ponting and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-02-15 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Crimean War is full of resonance - not least, the Charge of the Light Brigade, the Siege of Sevastopol and Florence Nightingale at Scutari with her lamp. In this fascinating book, Clive Ponting separates the myths from the reality, and tells the true story of the heroism of the ordinary soldiers, often through eye-witness accounts of the men who fought and those who survived the terrible winter of 1854-55. To contemporaries, it was 'The Great War with Russia' - fought not only in the Black Sea and the Crimea but in the Baltic, the Arctic, the Pacific and the Caucasus. Ironically, Britain's allies were France, her traditional enemy, ably commanded (from home) by Napoleon III himself, and the Muslim Ottoman Empire, widely seen as an infidel corrupt power. It was the first of the 'modern' wars, using rifles, artillery, trench systems, steam battleships, telegraph and railways; yet the British soldiers wore their old highly coloured uniforms and took part in their last cavalry charge in Europe. There were over 650,000 casualties. Britain was unable fully to deploy her greatest strength, her Navy, while her Army was led by incompetent aristocrats. The views of ordinary soldiers about Raglan, Cardigan and Lucan make painful reading.
Book Synopsis Surfing and Sustainability by : Gregory Borne
Download or read book Surfing and Sustainability written by Gregory Borne and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-04 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surfing and Sustainability presents a new way of understanding the impact of surfing on the environment, society and the economy, providing important insights into the field of sustainability and arguing that the activity of surfing offers a unique opportunity to explore the ambiguity of sustainability. The book contextualises surfing within current debates on sustainability and applies these debates to an innovative theoretical framework drawn from elements of a risk society and sociotechnical transitions. The book discusses the capacity of surfing to influence behaviour, both at an individual and organisational level, exploring sustainability from a range of perspectives including industry, the charity sector, media and celebrity culture. Featuring a range of international case studies, it analyses the greening of the surf industry through topics such as ECOBOARD surfboard manufacturing, business innovation and branding, environmental activism, information technology and surf forecasting, as well as the expansion of artificial wave technology. The book also considers the future directions of surfing and how the inclusion of surfing in the 2020 Olympic Games will impact sustainability debates. This is important reading for academics and scholars, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students working and studying in sports studies, sociology, geography, economics, psychology, marine science, coastal management and economics. It is also a valuable resource for practitioners across the globe.
