Book excerpt: "Jean Tekura Mason's poetry reflects her life as a person living in two worlds - Polynesian and European. Some of her poems are reflective. Others are glib (and deliberately so). There is humour and there is passion - of love and hate, pagan faiths and Christian beliefs, ancestors and dancers, customs and politics, migrants and immigrants, and Pacific flora and fauna - all have stimulated Ms Mason to put pen to paper. At times incisive and descriptive, and at others deeply moging, this book is a collection of poems which is both retrospective perceptive"--Back cover

Download or read book Bat written by Tessa Laird and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bats have been maligned in the West for centuries. Unfair associations with demons have seen their leathery wings adorn numerous evil characters, from the Devil to Bram Stoker’s Dracula. But these amazing animals are ecological superheroes. Nectar-feeding bats pollinate important crops like agave; fruit-eating bats disperse seeds and encourage reforestation; and insect-eating bats keep down mosquito populations and other pests, saving agricultural industries billions of dollars. Ranging in size from a bumblebee to creatures with a wingspan the length of an adult human, found on all continents except Antarctica, and displaying extraordinary abilities like echolocation—a built-in sonar system that enables many bats to navigate in the dark—these incredibly diverse mammals are as surprising as they are misunderstood. In Bat, Tessa Laird challenges our preconceptions as she combines fascinating facts of bat biology with engaging portrayals of bats in mythology, literature, film, popular culture, poetry, and contemporary art. She also provides a sobering reminder of the threats bats face worldwide, from heatwaves and human harassment to wind turbines and disease. Illustrated with incredible photographs and artistic representations of bats from many different cultures and eras, this celebration of the only mammals possessing true flight will enthrall batty fans, skeptics, and converts alike.

Download or read book A Companion to Contemporary Art in a Global Framework written by Jane Chin Davidson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-10-04 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Companion to Contemporary Art in a Global Framework explores the ways specialists and institutions in the fine arts, curation, cultural studies, and art history have attempted to situate art in a more global framework since the 1980s. Offering analyses of the successes and setbacks of these efforts to globalize the art world, this innovative volume presents a new and exciting way of considering art in its global contexts. Essays by an international panel of leading scholars and practicing artists assert that what we talk about as ‘art’ is essentially a Western concept, thus any attempts at understanding art in a global framework require a revising of established conceptual definitions. Organized into three sections, this work first reviews the history and theory of the visual arts since 1980 and introduces readers to the emerging area of scholarship that seeks to place contemporary art in a global framework. The second section traces the progression of recent developments in the art world, focusing on the historical and cultural contexts surrounding efforts to globalize the art world and the visual arts in particular global and transnational frameworks. The final section addresses a wide range of key themes in contemporary art, such as the fundamental institutions and ontologies of art practice, and the interactions among art, politics, and the public sphere. A Companion to Contemporary Art in a Global Framework is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students, scholars, researchers, and general readers interested in exploring global art beyond the traditional Euro-American context.

Download or read book American Samoa and the Swains Island Expeditions written by Daniel J. Basta and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2024-06-21 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Storms at sea, dangerous dive operations, and the science and mysteries of archeology drive this intriguing, true story set in the far Pacific. The narrative follows the adventures of two expeditions to a remote, unique, and uninhabited speck of land in the South Pacific — Swains Island — where author Daniel J. Basta introduces the reader to a traditional Polynesian culture and tiny Fagatele Bay. At the same time, he documents the expeditions’ roles in laying the foundations for the largest expansion of a marine sanctuary in U.S. history. Throughout the book, interesting and unorthodox personalities come to life, including that of Jean Michel Cousteau, whose award-winning documentary film about the second expedition, Swains Island — One of the Last Jewels of the Planet, escalates sanctuary expansion efforts. Finally, President George W. Bush takes action that leads to the creation of the National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa. But, above all, this story is about people — the American Samoans! Testimonials “Writer Daniel J. Basta is a tough, Brooklyn-raised brainiac who pulls no punches. In this book, he respectfully reveals the transformational power of the American Samoan culture, while satisfying his hunger for history, thirst for exploration, and enduring quest for adventure.” Steve Gittings, Coral-Reef Scientist “A great read about an American Samoan adventure, and how marine resources protection can be achieved.” The Honorable Togiola Tulafono, Governor of American Samoa, Retired “Explore history, science, and culture in a remote maritime area and learn how marine protected areas can be created in such places in this enjoyable narrative journey. A great companion piece to Jean Michel Cousteau's award-winning documentary, Swains Island — One of the Last Jewels of the Planet." Ole Varmer, Marine Protected Areas Attorney

Book excerpt: "In Samoan folklore a fagogo is a story told mostly at night, privately, inside individual homes. It transports the audience into the folklore world of heroes and heroines, of supernatural forces acting for good or evil, but is set against a background of typical local society, making it immediately comprehensible to Samoans of all ages. The stories contain songs sung by the narrators."--Publisher's blurb.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ua fuifui faatasi, ae vaoeseese "Gathered into one flock from different parts of the forest" The beauty of this Samoan proverb poetically describes The Samoans: A Global Family. From the tea estates of Sri Lanka to the deserts of the Sudan, from the Himalayas of Bhutan to the jungles of Brazil, and from the People's Republic of China to Papua New Guinea, a family is gathered in 285 color photographs captioned with the proverbs of 30 languages. Each person recounts his or her autobiography: a cardinal in Rome, a cowboy in the outback of Australia, a champion sumo wrestler in Japan, a jet pilot in nothern Alaska, an NFL football player at the Super Bowl, a nun in the slums of Lima, Peru. Each brings a story from his part of the "forest." The book is the result of a two-and-a-half-year odyssey around the world, through 45 countries and 20 states and into the lives of over 125 Samoans documenting what it means to be Samoan not only in Samoa but in the farthest reaches of the globe.
