Book excerpt: Leonie Howie and Adele Robertson live and work on remote Great Barrier Island-so called because it faces the full brunt of the wild Pacific weather and acts as a barrier for the mainland about 100 kilometres away. With a population of about 1000, no reticulated electricity, no ATM machine, no street lights and one pub, this is a wildly beautiful place. It has a long history of farming, whaling and fishing, and the people who live here are a resilient lot, proud of their community. Midwifery and nursing on a remote island bring a wide range of dramas and emergencies, and here Adele and Leonie share the islanders' stories-sometimes tragic, sometimes happy, sometimes funny-from over 30 years of challenging yet uplifting work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: „Whoever can give me a comprehensible reason for growing up, gets all the gold in the world, an Oscar in every category and at the same time be burning in hell.“ As Andi became infected with the surfing virus in Bali, his life was thrown overboard and scattered across the world. This was the starting point for a trip to the best waves on the planet and a search for deeper meaning between reason and wanderlust. And for a life in the midst of guns, precious gems, thieves, know-it-all professors and German beer cans. A spontaneous idea turns the life of an ingenuous university freshman into a 10 years journey around the globe. Drop outs and free spirits in Indonesia, monsterwaves in Australia, gangster in South Africa, smuggling gems in Sri Lanka and Salsa in Ecuador. The journey begins. And the struggle between conventional life at home and the new passion burning in his soul invites the reader to paddle out into the vast ocean of existence with its ups and downs towards understanding life´s most profound undercurrents. Boarderlines captures the rush of adrenaline in big waves and the touching smile in the eyes of people who have nothing but the biggest hearts.

Download or read book The North Carolina Shore and Its Barrier Islands written by Orrin H. Pilkey and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North Carolina Shore and Its Barrier Islands is the latest volume in the series, Living with the Shore. Replacing an earlier volume, this thoroughly new book provides a diverse guide to one of America's most popular shorelines. As is true for all books in the series, it is based on the premise that understanding the changing nature of beaches and barrier islands is essential if we are to preserve them for future generations. Evidence that the North Carolina shore is changing is never hard to find, but recently the devastation wrought by Hurricane Fran and the perilous situation of the historic lighthouse at Cape Hatteras have reminded all concerned of the fragility of this coast. Arguing for a policy of intelligent development, one in which residential and commercial structures meet rather than confront the changing nature of the shore, the authors have included practical information on hazards of many kinds--storms, tides, floods, erosion, island migration, and earthquakes. Diagrams and photographs clearly illustrate coastal processes and aid in understanding the impact of hurricanes and northeasters, wave and current dynamics, as well as pollution and other environmental destruction due to overdevelopment. A chapter on estuaries provides related information on the shores of back barrier areas that are growing in popularity for recreational residences. Risk maps focus on the natural hazards of each island and together with construction guidelines provide a basis for informed island management. Lastly, the dynamics of coastal politics and management are reviewed through an analysis of the controversies over the decision to move the Cape Hatteras lighthouse and a proposed effort to stabilize Oregon Inlet. From the natural and historic perspective of the opening chapters to the regional discussions of individual barrier islands, this book is both a primer on coastal processes for the first time visitor as well as a guide to hazard identification for property owners.
