Book Description
In the world of dogs, there is nothing quite like a beagle. Beagles are simply a different breed with perhaps the best olfactory senses in the world. Spunky was a male beagle who actually lived in Tallahassee and Leon County, Florida. Beagles are made to hunt and Spunky always preferred hunting and tracking to eating or any other pastime ( cept maybe sex)! Spunky was healthy, had a good temperament, was happy and merry with a little glint of mischief in his eyes, and had an outgoing personality. He didn't always use good judgement, but he did everything in his life with enthusiasm. This book recounts some of his adventures.

Remember Mercy

ISBN: 1452091145
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 582
Book Description
In the fall of 2010, the Turner kids ventured to follow Simmie Turner's trail through Alaska by sea, railroad, and highway. It was a great journey where the scenery remains unchanged since the days of the greatest generation who built the ALCAN highway. Simmie's story was added to the tales of adventure told along the goldrush trail. We hope everyone who reads the book can make the trip to Alaska. It is mythical country. Nothing like it anywhere else. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, the Sovereign Lord says. Coming of age through suffering in the Great Depression, a wild mountain boy meets a serious young widow. They start a new family only to be separated by World War II. Like a williwaw squall that sweeps the Aleutian islands, the war uproots young dreams, detours voyages, and hides enemy forces. Are Helens prayers a match for the call of the wild when Sim crosses paths with men who find adventure and fortune with international construction companies? Is psychology or theology a better explanatory frame for the question Robert Frost posed in The Road Not Taken?

A Likely Story
Author: Robert Kroetsch
Publisher: Red Deer, Alta. : Red Deer College Press
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
A Likely Story recounts the writing life of Robert Kroetsch, one of Canada's foremost writers and literary theorists. With incisive wit, humor and penetrating insight, Robert Kroetsch follows the events of his life, both real and literary, that have moved him from the bareness of desk and computer into the secret places at the heart of the writing experience. Throughout this chronicle, he toys ironically with the notion that he ceases to be himself when he writes, that writing allows him to escape from the confines of self into exciting varieties of the essay, story and poem. A Likely Story records in loving detail that escape. It is a remarkable assemblage of confessional personal essays, one of the principal elegiac poems of out time, a cowboy poem and speculative pieces that defy literary classification. Through them all Robert Kroetsch enters the landscape of recollection, discovery, delight, self-deception, play, grief and revelation, and through them all he insists with customary boldness: "I am attempting to write an autobiography in which I do not appear."

Unbuilt Environments
Author: Jonathan Peyton
Publisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774833076
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
In the latter half of the twentieth century, legions of industrial pioneers came to northwestern British Columbia with grand plans for mines, dams, and energy-development schemes. Yet many of their projects failed to materialize or were abandoned midstream. Unbuilt Environments reveals that these lapsed resource projects had lasting effects on the natural and human environment. Drawing on a range of case studies to analyze the social and environmental impacts of unfinished projects, Jonathan Peyton considers development failure a productive concept for northwestern Canada. He looks at a closed asbestos mine, an abandoned rail grade, an imagined series of hydroelectric installations, a failed LNG export facility, and a transmission line – and finds that these unrealized developments continue to shape contemporary resource conflicts.
