Return to Muck
Author: Marg Greenwood
Publisher: Troubador Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 1803132191
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Return to Muck tells of Marg’s experiences as a solo, older woman traveller in some lesser-known Scottish islands in the Inner and Outer Hebrides. On a budget, she mostly stays in hostels and bunkhouses, travels by car within the islands (except Muck) but takes no carbon-emitting flights. She walks, wanders and wonders, talks to islanders (age range from 5 to 97); comes across, usually by chance, stunning geographical features, exciting wildlife, ancient stones, folktales and other finds, many of which lead her to research and more discovery. Unusual subject matters include finding the connection between goose barnacles and barnacle geese; learning about Gaelic song; and stumbling across a lighthouse optic in a stately home garden. Two of these ‘finds’ become sources for poems. From this, an increased creativity emerges, some of which is a natural progression from her poems: that of composing songs and teaching them at other island schools as well as the Muck school. She bases the lyrics of these songs on a folktale pertaining to the particular island, thus allowing the pupils to express themselves musically and learn about their local folklore at the same time. She describes her own experiences of teaching the songs. This book offers a perspective only a lone woman traveller can give. It can serve both as a memento to those who know the islands well, and provide an introduction for anyone who has yet to discover them, especially those who yearn to travel alone.

Uranium and Other Elements in Colorado Rocky Mountain Wetlands
Author: Douglass E. Owen
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Uranium ores
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
Wetlands have a well-documented capacity for extracting metals, particularly uranium, from ground and surface waters containing only very dilute concentrations of the metals. The plutonic and volcanic rocks of the Colorado Rockies contain uranium concentrations high enough to serve as a uranium source to waters that feed wetlands. Reconnaissance sampling was conducted in 145 montane and subalpine wetlands in Colorado to determine how many of them are uraniferous. Forty-six percent of the wetlands showed the presence of moderate or high concentrations of uranium, but unless the price of uranium substantially increases none of the deposits is of economic value. Many of the processes responsible for concentrating uranium and other metals in organic-rich sediments of wetlands are reversible, however, and serious environmental consequences may occur if anthropogenic or natural disturbances change the chemical conditions in a wetland sufficiently to release uranium or other metals.
