Book Description
The original work, in Russian, appeared in 1947 and is still regarded as an important contribution to knowledge of the early history of the Eskimo. This translation makes available in English the results of archaeological research in a significant area, the extreme northeast of continental Asia, and the data reported are a valuable addition to previous information on the ethnology, linguistics and physical anthropology of the peoples of the Arctic. In particular this book reports investigations made by the author on the coast of the Chukchi Peninsula from the village of Uwelen in the north to the village of Sirhenik in the south. This is volume I in a series Anthropology of the North: Translations from Russian Sources being sponsored by the Arctic Institute of North America.

Old Seahouses
Author: Katrina Porteous
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781840336825
Category : Seahouses (England)
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
This book mainly covers the period 1900 to 1950 when the fishing industry was thriving and Seahouses was a working town. The sea, fisher life and fisher folk as well as the harbour and the lifeboat therefore dominate this book although it also includes old images of the town's streets almost devoid of life, unlike today when Seahouses teems with tourists.

All Over the Place
Author: Frances Bowler
Publisher: Boolarong Press
ISBN: 1925046400
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
In 1951, three young women from Quilpie in south west Queensland ventured off to see the world in their own ‘little green Ford’. They rode camels at the great pyramids, picnicked among the monoliths of Stonehenge, attended the Royal Ascot races, joined a grouse shooting expedition in Wales and negotiated the traffic in France. Frances tells her fascinating and light hearted story of an eight month trip to post war to Europe via Singapore with stop overs in India, Egypt and Rome, and home across America. This is international travel in another era. Apart from this initial fling overseas, Frances spent the first 50 years of her life in western Queensland where the closest neighbour was 30 km away and 1100 km from the capital city, Brisbane. Raising, and actually teaching eight children before they all went off to boarding school in Grade 6, was taken in her stride.
