Download or read book Gaining Daylight written by Sara Loewen and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many the idea of living off the land is a romantic notion left to stories of olden days or wistful dreams at the office. But for Sara Loewen it becomes her way of life each summer as her family settles into their remote cabin on Uyak Bay for the height of salmon season. With this connection to thousands of years of fishing and gathering at its core, Gaining Daylight explores what it means to balance lives on two islands, living within both an ancient way of life and the modern world. Her personal essays integrate natural and island history with her experiences of fishing and family life, as well as the challenges of living at the northern edge of the Pacific. Loewen’s writing is richly descriptive; readers can almost feel heat from wood stoves, smell smoking salmon, and spot the ways the ocean blues change with the season. With honesty and humor, Loewen easily draws readers into her world, sharing the rewards of subsistence living and the peace brought by miles of crisp solitude.
Book Synopsis Indigenous Cosmopolitans by : Maximilian Christian Forte
Download or read book Indigenous Cosmopolitans written by Maximilian Christian Forte and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Timely and original, this volume looks at indigenous peoples from the perspective of cosmopolitan theory and at cosmopolitanism from the perspective of the indigenous world. In doing so, it not only sheds new light on both, but also has something important to say about the complexities of identification in this shrinking, overheated world. Analysing ethnoqraphy from around the world, the authors demonstrate the universality of the local-indigeneity-and the particularity of the universal--cosmopolitanism. Anthropology doesn't get much better than this." --Thomas Hylland Eriksen, Professor of Anthropology, University of Oslo; Author of Globalisation --Book Jacket.

Book Synopsis A Scottish Syndicate in the Redwoods by : Marvin Dale Shepherd
Download or read book A Scottish Syndicate in the Redwoods written by Marvin Dale Shepherd and published by . This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1882, three lumbermen in Humboldt County, California and a Scottish commission merchant in San Francisco developed a plan to acquire over 50,000 acres of redwood timberland located in northern California, and to sell them to a Scottish syndicate. The plan involved hundreds of entrymen, post-dated land entry forms, and ethically challenged government land office employees, all managed from a back-room office in Gorham Barnum's Saloon. The three men also developed a second plan to create a monopoly in the manufacturer of redwood lumber by purchasing the assets of four lumber companies and becoming the largest manufacturer of redwood lumber in the world. The second plan involved a $4,000,000 investment from another Scottish syndicate. Government investigators believed that the first plan was fraudulent and indicted eleven persons who were directly involved. The notoriety of the first plan became attached to the second and was partially responsible for the failure of the attempted monopoly after only 19 months of operation. Shepherd vividly details the process for acquiring the redwood timberlands and the attitudes of the entrymen as well as the lumbermen that prevailed in that pioneering era. He addresses the land laws, inadequate funding of the government land office and the limited oversight that was provided while passing government lands into private hands. He also describes the attempted bribery of two government investigators and the intimidation of some of the entrymen after they agreed to become government witnesses.
