Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As well as being a love story, this authentic work, backed by a rich tapestry of Indian lore, focuses on modern lives that clash against a rapidly vanishing Indian. Sue Lewando The Hornbill Crescendo portrays the idyllic landscapes around the villages of north-eastern India, revealing the beauty of life blossoming in its diversity. Happiness there is abundant, radiated in the wrinkles and creases on every dimpled face. Peace, love and lust; intoxication, violence and anxiety; indulgence, aggression and pure submission unfold in vibrant colour through the narration. This work of fiction exposes social hypocrisy and the peculiarity of taboos and customs, balanced against real lives in rural villages that remain close to nature. It is a love story, in which two young people, when attempting to cross the social divide, have to overcome the conflicts of each others cultural identities. People in the hills, arent they luckier? They are not carried away by complex taboos

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The animal communities in plant-held water bodies, such as tree holes and pitcher plants, have become models for food-web studies. In this book, Professor Kitching introduces us to these fascinating miniature worlds and demonstrates how they can be used to tackle some of the major questions in community ecology. Based on thirty years' research in many parts of the world, this work presents much previously unpublished information, in addition to summarising over a hundred years of natural history observations by others. The book covers many aspects of the theory of food-web formation and maintenance presented with field-collected information on tree holes, bromeliads, pitcher plants, bamboo containers and the axils of fleshy plants. It is a unique introduction for the field naturalist and a stimulating source treatment for graduate students and professionals working in the fields of tropical and other forest ecology, as well as entomology.

Book excerpt: Only a stone’s throw from central Sydney, the northern arm of Port Jackson, otherwise known as Middle Harbour, has a mystique all of its own. Unlike most Australian city environs, Middle Harbour was almost entirely neglected during the first two centuries of European settlement. As such, it still contains regions of virtually untouched bushland, and a surprising history to match. Times & Tides by acclaimed historian Gavin Souter is an exploration of this unique – and precious – part of Australia. In prose that is lucid and informed, Souter trawls back and forth in time to create an evocative and multi-layered narrative encompassing Aboriginal life, European arrival, modern suburbs and the natural history of bays, creeks and the bush. Fascinating and insightful, Times & Tides is also a very personal account by someone who has lived within sight of Middle Harbour for almost fifty years. First published in 2004, and rereleased now for the first time digitally, Times & Tides won the North Shore Historical Society’s Isabella Brierley Prize.

Book excerpt: "The author describes the ikat, sungkit, pilih, and other forms of Iban weaving, the sculptures, the tattooing, metal forging, and other art of the Iban in the context of their oral sagas, stories, poetry, and love songs. He shows how art was used as a pre-literate scholastic aptitude test to ensure intelligent Iban married other intelligent Iban to increase the likelihood that their children were intelligent and were more likely to prosper. Women also chose men on the basis of their prowess at war to ensure the household, physically, was secure. That meant heads and headhunting. The book shows how weaving and headhunting came to be ritualized, the one encouraging the other, so that sexual selection was bound into the Iban's holy trinity of taking heads, growing rice, and birth or regeneration." --Publisher.
