Carcasson's African Butterflies
Author: PR Ackery
Publisher: CSIRO PUBLISHING
ISBN: 0643102450
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1626
Book Description
The result of more than 20 years of research and collaboration by international butterfly experts, this book is the first comprehensive catalogue to the butterfly fauna of any major tropical region and, as such, provides a basic research tool for any worker with an interest in African butterflies. Covering 3593 recognised species in 300 genera, it deals with about 20% of the world butterfly fauna. Included are entries for all genus-group, species-group and infra-subspecific names applicable to the Afrotropical butterflies, a total of about 14 000 names. This work has a more wide-ranging appeal than a narrow taxonomic list, a volume that will be of value not only to taxonomists but to all biologists with an interest in Africa and its butterfly fauna.

Hugging the Shore
Author: John Updike
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0679645845
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 897
Book Description
WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD “Writing criticism is to writing fiction and poetry as hugging the shore is to sailing in the open sea,” writes John Updike in his Foreword to this collection of literary considerations. But the sailor doth protest too much: This collection begins somewhere near deep water, with a flotilla of short fiction, humor pieces, and personal essays, and even the least of the reviews here—those that “come about and draw even closer to the land with another nine-point quotation”—are distinguished by a novelist’s style, insight, and accuracy, not just surface sparkle. Indeed, as James Atlas commented, the most substantial critical articles, on Melville, Hawthorne, and Whitman, go out as far as Updike’s fiction: They are “the sort of ambitious scholarly reappraisal not seen in this country since the death of Edmund Wilson.” With Hugging the Shore, Michiko Kakutani wrote, Updike established himself “as a major and enduring critical voice; indeed, as the pre-eminent critic of his generation.”

Stewart's Quotable Africa
Author: Julia Stewart
Publisher: Penguin Random House South Africa
ISBN: 0143027174
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 725
Book Description
The African continent is home to spectacularly expressive human beings: rebellious anti-colonial and opposition leaders, eloquent novelists, political and social activists, comical geniuses, pensive and philosophical poets and intellectuals, as well as a few raving dictators. And the body of proverbial wisdom from Africa alone could fill many volumes. Despite being eminently quotable, Africa is not so readily quoted. Stewart's Quotable Africa covers the whole of Africa - north to south and east to west - and includes memorable statements from hundreds of speakers including Nelson Mandela, Doris Lessing, Chinua Achebe, Julius Nyerere, Kofi Annan among others, as well as biblical passages and proverbs. Julia Stewart has spent over a decade collecting the 5000 plus quotes found in this book, all of them either by Africans or about African subjects.

With God in South Sudan

ISBN: 1370697678
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
Oscar Momanyi was sent to work as a high school teacher in war-torn South Sudan. This book is an account of his experience and that of other men and women who lived and worked there. Though his experiences were challenging and sometimes frightening, his story bears witness to the message of Christ in Matthew 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." The author felt his assignment to South Sudan was a baptism of fire. He knew he could not face the challenges ahead of him without God's help. He trusted God would lead him every step of the way as he shared his life with the South Sudanese people.
