The Curious World of Seaweed
Author: Josie Iselin
Publisher: Heyday Books
ISBN: 9781597144827
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Marine algae are the supreme eco-engineers of life: they oxygenate the waters, create habitat for countless other organisms, and form the base of a food chain that keeps our planet unique in the universe as we know it. In this beautiful volume Josie Iselin explores both the artistic and the biological presence of sixteen seaweeds and kelps that live in the thin region where the Pacific Ocean converges with the North American continent--a place of incomparable richness. Each species receives a detailed description of its structure, ecological importance, and humans' scientific inquiry into it, told in scientifically illuminating yet deeply reverent and inspired prose. Throughout the writings are historical botanical illustrations and Iselin's signature, Marimekko-like portraits of each specimen that reveal their vibrant colors--whether rosy, "olivaceous," or grass-green--and whimsical shapes. Iselin posits that we can learn not only about the seaweeds but also from them: their resilience, their resourcefulness, their poetry and magic.

Poking Seaweed with a Stick and Running Away from the Smell
Author: Alison Whitelock
Publisher: Polygon
ISBN: 9781846971150
Category : Children
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Alison Whitelock dreamed of shooting her father with a sawn-off shotgun. Her brother planned to use the longest knife in the cutlery drawer, and her mother tried to poison him with out-of-date tranquilizers. And he deserved it. This wee book is a bittersweet account of growing up in Scotland in the strange and brutal kingdom we call home. But Poking Seaweed with a Stick is anything but a tale of childhood suffering. With a whimsical disregard for all that's proper, Alison Whitelock tells her story not as an adult remembering her past, but as the child who experienced "all that shite" first hand. Like the day her ponies Rusty and Silver got carted off to the glue factory; the day her school pal Fiona caught a brain tumor and died; and, not to mention the terrible shame of the blue-tit collage and the porridge bowl at Brownie camp. Poking Seaweed with a Stick & Running Away from the Smell is Alison's first book. Her Da hopes it will be her last.

Gathering Seaweed
Author: Jack Mapanje
Publisher: Heinemann
ISBN: 9780435912116
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
This anthology introduces the African literature of incarceration to the general reader, the scholar, the activist and the student. The visions and prison cries of the few African nationalists imprisoned by colonialists, who later became leaders of their independent dictatorships and in turn imprisoned their own writers and other radicals, are brought into sharper focus, thereby critically exposing the ironies of varied generations of the efforts of freedom fighters. Extracts of prose, poetry and plays are grouped into themes such as arrest, interrogation, torture, survival, release and truth and reconciliation. Contributors include: Kunle Ajibade, Obafemi Awolowo, Steve Biko, Breyten Breytenbach, Dennis Brutus, Nawal El Saadawi, M J Kariuki, Kenneth Kaunda, Caesarina Kona Makhoere, Nelson Mandela, Emma Mashinini, Felix Mnthali, Augustino Nato, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Kwame Nkrumah, Abe Sachs, Ken Saro Wiwa, Wole Soyinka, and Koigi wa Wamwere. Although an often harrowing indictment of the history, culture and politics of the African continent and the societies from which this literature comes, the anthology presents excellent prose, poetry and drama, which stands up in its own right as serious literature to be cherished, read and studied.
