Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does Playboy have to do with Nabokov’s infamous novel Lolita and his obsession with a butterfly? Why is Shrien Dewani looking so cheap? And what can Ovid’s Metamorphosis show us about contemporary South African society? Imraan Coovadia’s Transformations is a collection of short pieces in the tradition of the essayist: exciting, probing, intelligent and readable. The essays are on writing, politics and culture from a South African perspective. Written with his signature wit, and with subjects ranging from vuvuzelas to J M Coetzee, Tolstoy to Mbeki, Coovadia’s essays cast a wide net and, like literature and the country, never fail to surprise.

Download or read book Siddon Rock written by Glenda Guest and published by Random House Australia. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2010 Commonwealth Writers’ Prize Best First Book and longlisted for the Miles Franklin Award. 'When Macha Connor came home from the war she walked into town as naked as the day she was born, except for well-worn and shining boots, a dusty slouch hat, and the .303 rifle she held across her waist.' Macha patrols Siddon Rock by night, watching over the town's inhabitants: Brigid, Granna, and all of the Aberline clan; Alistair in Meakin's Haberdashery, with his fine sense of style; Sybil, scrubbing away at the bloodstains in her father's butcher shop; Reverend Siggy, afraid of the outback landscape and the district's magical saltpans; silent Nell with her wild dogs; publican Marg, always accompanied by a cloud of blue; and the new barman, Kelpie Crush. It is only when refugee Catalin Morgenstern and her young son Josis arrive in town that Macha realises there is nothing she can do to keep the townspeople safe.
Book Synopsis A Week in the Life of Cassandra Aberline by : Glenda Guest
Download or read book A Week in the Life of Cassandra Aberline written by Glenda Guest and published by Text Publishing. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After forty-five years in Sydney, Cassandra Aberline returns to her home town in the Western Australian wheat belt in the same way she left: on the Indian Pacific train. As they cross the emptiness of the vast Australian inland, Cassie travels back through her memories, too, frightened that she’s about to lose them forever—and with them, her last chance to answer the question that has haunted her almost all her life. ‘Platinum sounds expensive,’ she said. ‘But so worth it.’ The travel agent was a master at judging people. ‘And you get so much for it.’ He said a figure that made Cassie laugh. ‘I just want to travel on the train, not buy the bloody thing.’ But she handed over her credit card. After all, she reasoned on the walk home up the hill of Reservoir Street, somehow in three days and nights she must resolve the niggling doubt that has held her to ransom for some forty-odd years—and how could she do that with a stranger opening the door, excusing herself, asking Cassie if she minded, generally just being there? Platinum it had to be. Glenda Guest grew up in the wheat belt of Western Australia and now lives in Merimbula, New South Wales. Her first novel, Siddon Rock, won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize for Best First Book in 2010. ‘Guest’s descriptive prose is exquisite...A marvellous read from a talented author.’ BookMooch ‘With insight, intelligence and unexpected tenderness, Guest explores notions of trust and betrayal, identity and responsibility, and in particular, memory and what may be left if it is stripped away.’ Adelaide Advertiser ‘This gentle story is wrapped around a journey on the Indian Pacific train across the vast Australian continent.’ Australian Women’s Weekly ‘A tender novel about how and why we forget.’ New Zealand Herald ‘With its Shakespearean plot dimensions, A Week in the Life of Cassandra Aberline exists on the plane of memories, where grief can enlarge small events and erase larger ones... An engaging read.’ Newtown Review of Books ‘Guest’s writing is poetic, littered with finely observed descriptions, and musings about the nature of memory and self.’ Saturday Paper ‘A gentle train ride across the Nullarbor and through the frailties of life...Guest’s cadence and visual imagery is superb, the novel oozing with tenderness.’ Herald Sun ‘Guest has given us a character able to ask many of the important questions about a life and its purpose. A thoughtful and challenging story.’ Otago Daily Times ‘A compelling novel...Contemplative and wise.’ ANZ LitLovers ‘Glenda Guest takes a plot worthy of Shakespearean romance and infuses it with vividness, melancholy and an acute sense of place whether she’s writing about the remote outback or Sydney in the 70s.’ Sydney Morning Herald 'This is a contemplative novel, loose, relaxed and spacious...The way we move in and out of experience feels close to life, punctuated with flashes of mystery and significance.’ Australian ‘An absorbing read.’ Whispering Gums

Book Synopsis Frontiers in Invertebrate Physiology: A Collection of Reviews by : Saber Saleuddin
Download or read book Frontiers in Invertebrate Physiology: A Collection of Reviews written by Saber Saleuddin and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new 3-volume set provides informative reviews on the physiology of sponges, cnidarians, round and flat worms, annelids, echinoderms, and crustaceans, advancing our knowledge of the physiology of these major invertebrate groups (Phyla). Invertebrates exhibit the largest number of species and occupy virtually every conceivable ecological niche. They are economically important in food chains, they recycle organic waste, and they are crucial pollinators of plants and sources of food. They are also medically relevant as parasites that cause major diseases of both humans and livestock. Echinoderms and annelids are covered in Volume 3. The volume looks at temporary adhesion and regeneration as two important areas in echinoderm biology. It includes an important review of juxtaligamental cells, which may regulate the mechanical properties of connective tissue. Annelid physiology is discussed (neurobiology of locomotion in leeches, regeneration, reproduction) as is neuro-endocrine-immune response. Volume 1 looks at non-bilaterians (sponges, cnidarians, placozoans), while Volume 2 focuses on crustacean physiology, covering diverse physiological topics ranging from moulting, respiration, water balance, biomineralization, bioreceptors, and temperature regulation to the land adaptation of terrestrial crustaceans.

Book Synopsis Desert Insurgency by : Nicholas J. Saunders
Download or read book Desert Insurgency written by Nicholas J. Saunders and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020-08 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the desert sands of southern Jordan lies a once-hidden conflict landscape along the Hejaz Railway. Built at the beginning of the twentieth-century, this narrow-gauge 1,320 km track stretched from Damascus to Medina and served to facilitate participation in the annual Muslim Hajj to Mecca. The discovery and archaeological investigation of an unknown landscape of insurgency and counter-insurgency along this route tells a different story of the origins of modern guerrilla warfare, the exploits of T. E. Lawrence, Emir Feisal, and Bedouin warriors, and the dramatic events of the Arab Revolt of 1916-18. Ten years of research in this prehistoric terrain has revealed sites lost for almost 100 years: vast campsites occupied by railway builders; Ottoman Turkish machine-gun redoubts; Rolls Royce Armoured Car raiding camps; an ephemeral Royal Air Force desert aerodrome; as well as the actual site of the Hallat Ammar railway ambush. This unique and richly illustrated account from Nicholas Saunders tells, in intimate detail, the story of a seminal episode of the First World War and the reshaping of the Middle East that followed.
