This book was released on 2014-10-03 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first novel in the exciting Travellers series — a young adult fantasy story of survival against the odds in a fearful futuristic world. In a land called the Whykatto, south of the city of Orklun, the sun rises angry in the sky, eats the winter grass and flames towards the western horizon. As the sky turns fiery, figures appear in the landscape: a boy, limping, accompanied by an old woman. Cast out from their tribe they make the journey alone, away from the sun's rage, away from the deserts of the north, toward the southern lands. This is Ish's tale, a tale of rejection, of survival against the odds, of growing up in an age when much is feared, and few can be trusted. Written by one of New Zealand's most awarded writers for children and teens.

Book Synopsis One with the Wings: Traveller’s Tales by : Manpreet Ola
Download or read book One with the Wings: Traveller’s Tales written by Manpreet Ola and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2020-06-21 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not everyone is fond of traveling. There are those who like to stay in the comforts of their houses, while there are others, who can’t travel because of various other priorities. The last category comprises of those who can’t afford it. But travelling is an art. One can create art anywhere by using minimum raw materials and maximum use of practical applications. When we choose to travel, the destination doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive. A basic visit to a nearby farm or religious place can fulfill all the things achieved by traveling to far off places. It provides us with the needed relaxation which subconsciously impacts our mind in beautiful ways. All that is needed to travel is to have a zeal, the basic understanding that life is not lived with stress. It’s important to understand that if we have a zeal to travel, we can be sure that we are living in positivity and hopefulness. Everyone in this beautiful world, needs peace of mind, we resist to taking that break, but we don’t realize the importance of it, unless someone commits suicide because of work pressure, deadlines to meet. The race to earn money is taking a toll on our minds and is working wonderfully in pushing us towards the edge of our limits. So take that leap of faith and travel whenever you can, wherever you can, with whatever you have. “Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.”- Dalai Lama

ODPM: Housing, Planning, Local Government and the Regions Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2004 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee's report examines the provision and management of Gypsy and Traveller sites within England, focusing on the following aspects: current provision and location of sites; demand for, and use of sites; existing funding arrangements; the Gypsy Site Refurbishment Grant scheme; site characteristics and facilities; management of unauthorised camping; and ODPM statistical information on caravans, sites and families. The Committee's report notes the contradictory views held about Gypsies and Travellers, and the public opposition to their encampment in local areas for fear, whether real or not, of crime and anti-social behaviour. In light of this, the report seeks to assess the extent of problems faced both by Gypsies and Travellers and the settled community, and suggests ways to reduce the conflict, misery and nuisance being caused. Recommendations made include, due to the lack of sites available, that the Government should re-introduce a statutory requirement for local authorities to provide suitable accommodation, based on an assessment of need at regional level, and funded through a capital grant.

Book Synopsis Irish Traveller Language by : Maria Rieder
Download or read book Irish Traveller Language written by Maria Rieder and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the Irish Traveller community through an ethnographic and folk linguistic lens. It sheds new light on Irish Traveller language, commonly referred to as Gammon or Cant, an integral part of the community’s cultural heritage that has long been viewed as a form of secret code. The author addresses Travellers’ metalinguistic and ideological reflections on their language use, providing deep insights into the culture and values of community members, and into their perceived social reality in wider society. In doing so, she demonstrates that its interrelationship with other cultural elements means that the language is in a constant flux, and by analysing speakers’ experiences of language in action, provides a dynamic view of language use. The book takes the reader on a journey through oral history, language naming practices, ideologies of languageness and structure, descriptions of language use and contexts, negotiations of the ‘authentic’ Cant, and Cant as ‘identity’. Based on a two-year ethnographic fieldwork project in a Traveller Training Centre in the West of Ireland, this book will appeal to students and scholars of sociolinguistics, language in society, language ideology, folk linguistics, minority communities and languages, and cultural and linguistic anthropology.

'Taur', winner of the 1999 Senior Fiction category in the NZ Post Children's Book Awards, is the riveting sequel to 'Because We Were the Travellers', winner of a 1998 NZ Post Honour Award and shortlisted for the 1998 Esther Glen Medal. Lasenby writes impeccably...with an uncommon preciseness, a poetic flow. His language is poignant, profound, yet held back from sentimentality, each word weighted for relevance.
Book Synopsis Alternate Route by : Clifford Winston
Download or read book Alternate Route written by Clifford Winston and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban transportation problems abound across America, including jammed highways during rush-hours, deteriorating bus service, and strong pressures to build new rail systems. Most solutions attempt either to increase transportation capacity (by building more roads and expanding mass transit) or to manage existing capacity (through HOV restrictions, exclusive bus lanes, and employer-based policies such as flexible work hours). This book develops an alternative solution to urban transportation problems based on economic analysis, but well aware of the political constraints on policymakers. The authors estimate that efficient pricing and service policies could save more than $10 billion in annual net benefits over current practices, but argue that powerful, entrenched political and institutional forces will continue to thwart efficient economic solutions to improve urban transportation. They believe, however, that some form of privatization would likely improve social welfare more than an efficient public sector system. Facing fewer operating restrictions, greater economic incentives, and stronger competitive pressures, private suppliers could substantially improve the efficiency of urban operations and offer services that are more responsive to the needs of all types of travelers. The authors conclude that policymakers have bestowed huge benefits on the public by allowing the private sector to play a leading and unencumbered role in the provision of intercity transportation. Public officials should take the next step and allow the private sector to play a leading role in the provision of urban transportation.

Download or read book The Travellers written by Birte Kaufmann and published by Kettler verlag. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: - An objective exploration of an often-maligned community that exists on the fringes of societyIn Ireland, around 25,000 people still live in temporary settlements in the style of itinerant workers, far removed from the amenities of Western civilization. Moving from place to place in mobile homes without electricity or running water, the largest Catholic minority of the country are faced with many prejudices. Strangely out of step with 21st-century lifestyle, they stick to their seemingly outdated traditions while also trying to find a new identity that fits in with modern society. Even in the present day, this ambiguity continues to define life for the traveller community, whose livelihood depends on horse breeding and hunting and who keep their own language alive as part of their insular culture. In 2011, the photographer Birte Kaufmann cautiously began to make contact with the travelling community, earning their trust and on some occasions living with them. For her portrayal of this unknown world, she needed to be in close contact with the families in order to capture their particular character and to avoid the usual stereotypes. Without a doubt, Birte Kaufmann's combination of reportage and documentary photography hits the right note and offers impressive insights into the Irish travellers' extraordinary world.
Book Synopsis Travellers' Tales of Wonder by : Simon Cooke
Download or read book Travellers' Tales of Wonder written by Simon Cooke and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-22 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring travellers' tales of wonder in contemporary literature, this study challenges a sensibility of disenchantment with travel. It reassesses travel writing as an aesthetically and ethically innovative form in contemporary international literature, and demonstrates the crucial role of wonder in the travel narratives of writers such as Bruce Chatwin, V.S. Naipaul, and W.G. Sebald. Their 'travellers' tales of wonder' are read as a challenge to the hubris of thinking the world too well known, and an invitation to encounter the world - including its most troubling histories - with a sense of wonder.
