Download or read book Head of the Hyena written by Cameron Dick and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Head of the Hyena is the stirring account of a young man’s life-altering experience teaching in the isolated community of Wikondiek. He is joined there by Sabina, a beautiful and strong-willed young woman who is offered a position in the village despite never having applied for it. Their host is Phoebe Asiyo, the sole female elder among the Luo tribe. The daughter of a backcountry preacher, she defied a hostile government to become one of the first female MPs in Kenya, going on to entertain Barack Obama when he visited Luo-Nyanza as a U.S. senator. In Volume 1 of the series, Cameron details his journey west from Nairobi to the village of Wikondiek. He is eager to see what goes on in Kenya once the World Vision cameras stop rolling, but with no prior teaching experience, he proves inept in the classroom. On his first outing, he runs afoul of the self-proclaimed King of Kisumu and narrowly evades a kidnapping attempt. Few foreigners have set foot in rural western Kenya, setting the stage for a dramatic clash of cultures as he and Sabina stumble from one blunder to the next with comic and sometimes devastating consequences. Filled with unforgettable characters and ambitious in its scope, Head of the Hyena is more than a travel memoir – it is the witty and compelling meditation of a young man of the West grappling with how the past spills into the present to define our identity across generations.

In Volume 3 of the series, Cameron reaches a crossroads. He may have found his footing in the classroom, but the legacies of previous interns and European settlers continue to influence local perception of him. To escape the subtle intrigue of village life, Cameron seeks solace in fresh encounters on the road. On the white sand beaches of Mombasa, a drunken colonialist raves about the past. A young boy from a neighbouring village leads him to a pond that is home to the devil. When an outspoken newcomer arrives in Wikondiek and decides to stay, he and Sabina at last find a reason to put their differences aside. Filled with unforgettable characters and ambitious in its scope, Head of the Hyena is more than a travel memoir – it is the witty and compelling meditation of a young man of the West grappling with how the past spills into the present to define our identity across generations.

In Volume 2 of the series, Cameron begins to settle into village life, but every day brings new challenges. Many of his students are malnourished but still manage to run roughshod over him, especially when he is stricken with a mysterious illness. He and Sabina continue to butt heads whenever they leave Wikondiek, braving rattletrap bus and bandit-patrolled roads. In the heart of Africa’s largest urban slum, they meet a young slum-dwelling philosopher who pours out his heart over the purity of ideas. During a soccer match in Nairobi, they are swept up in a clash between hooligans and the army. A solo weekend with a captivating stranger on the edge of Lake Naivasha leaves Cameron utterly bewildered. Filled with unforgettable characters and ambitious in its scope, Head of the Hyena is more than a travel memoir – it is the witty and compelling meditation of a young man of the West grappling with how the past spills into the present to define our identity across generations.

Book Synopsis The Hyena Scientist by : Sy Montgomery
Download or read book The Hyena Scientist written by Sy Montgomery and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An appealing, elegantly designed introduction to another much-maligned species." —Kirkus (starred review) "A fascinating, informative, and inclusive window into a feared and misunderstood species." —Booklist (starred review) This myth-busting addition to the critically acclaimed Scientists in the Field series by Sibert medal winning team Sy Montgomery and Nic Bishop is perfect for nonfiction readers looking for more female scientist narratives, or a fresh perspective on an underrepresented animal—Hyenas! Timely and inspiring, The Hyena Scientist sets the record straight about one of history’s most hated and misunderstood mammals, while featuring the groundbreaking, pioneering research of a female scientist in a predominately male field in this offering by Sibert-winning duo Sy Montgomery and Nic Bishop. As a scientist studying one of the only mammalian societies led entirely by females, zoologist Kay Holecamp has made it her life’s work to understand hyenas, the fascinating, complex creatures that are playful, social, and highly intelligent—almost nothing like the mangy monsters of pop culture lore.

Download or read book Hyena written by Jude Angelini and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hyena is a collection of autobiographical stories by Jude Angelini, which takes the reader on his journey of heartbreak, depravity, and hilarity, deftly moving between his adult life and his childhood growing up in a factory town outside of Detroit. Each story is told with brutal honesty, yet maintains a gallows humor that will leave you shaking your head in disbelief. Jude is one of the top hip-hop radio hosts on Sirius Satellite radio. His self-published, print-on-demand edition of Hyena has been an indie bestseller, despite having no ebook or physical distribution. Its exploration of drugs, sex, and the human condition compares to Charles Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, Artie Lange, and Jim Norton. It also captures the hardscrabble culture, language, and landscape of post-industrial Detroit, from which came some of pop culture's most compelling artists.

Book Synopsis Among the Bone Eaters by : Marcus Baynes-Rock
Download or read book Among the Bone Eaters written by Marcus Baynes-Rock and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biologists studying large carnivores in wild places usually do so from a distance, using telemetry and noninvasive methods of data collection. So what happens when an anthropologist studies a clan of spotted hyenas, Africa’s second-largest carnivores, up close—and in a city of a hundred thousand inhabitants? In Among the Bone Eaters, Marcus Baynes-Rock takes us to the ancient city of Harar in Ethiopia, where the gey waraba (hyenas of the city) are welcome in the streets and appreciated by the locals for the protection they provide from harmful spirits and dangerous “mountain” hyenas. They’ve even become a local tourist attraction. At the start of his research in Harar, Baynes-Rock contended with difficult conditions, stone-throwing children, intransigent bureaucracy, and wary hyena subjects intent on avoiding people. After months of frustration, three young hyenas drew him into the hidden world of the Sofi clan. He discovered the elements of a hyena’s life, from the delectability of dead livestock and the nuisance of dogs to the unbounded thrill of hyena chase-play under the light of a full moon. Baynes-Rock’s personal relations with the hyenas from the Sofi clan expand the conceptual boundaries of human-animal relations. This is multispecies ethnography that reveals its messy, intersubjective, dangerously transformative potential.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hyena believes that none of the animals like her. She thinks that if she changes her identity she will be accepted and liked. But Hyena doesn’t realise that each animal has a unique set of skills and, no matter how hard she tries, a hyena can’t become an elephant, or a lion, or a leopard. When she becomes despondent, the other animals, including her own hyena clan, rally around to point out the good things about being a hyena. Finally, hyena recognises that she doesn’t need to become another creature in order to be accepted. All she has to do is be the best hyena she can be.
