Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
Based on the true story of a Dutch sea captain who traveled with an Indian rhinoceros called Clara across 18th century Europe, THE RHINO KEEPER evokes both the thrill of discovery in the archives and the wonder felt by a world in which no European had seen a living rhinoceros. 2022 – College student Andrea Clarkson uncovers a historical mystery while studying abroad in Holland. From hidden desk drawers come unusual historical documents featuring a rhinoceros. On a lichen-covered eighteenth-century grave, the same animal is carved. When an expanding river forces exhumation, what she finds buried there is life-changing. Andrea faces her nightmares to retrieve what a grave robber steals: valuable proof of a long-forgotten history. 1740 – Ship captain Douwemout van der Meer has something not seen in two hundred years: the only rhino in Europe, called Clara. Douwemout and Clara tour Europe, enthralling peasants and queens, hoping to change popular views that rhinos are man-eating beasts. Absolute wonder follows, but when a priest sees idol worship and becomes hell-bent on destroying her, Clara, Douwe, and the lives of her bonded caretakers are at risk. As Douwe becomes protectively dedicated to adventuring with Clara, unexpected love finds him, and his heart starts to tear. Will he choose a life with a traveling wonder-beast forever, or can love exist in many forms for the rhino keeper?

Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency
ISBN: 1631356623
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
Many love Africa and the romance that its wilderness represents, but the stark reality of rhino poaching and the impact it has is vividly played off against the struggle to survive this cruel continent in the crime novel Rhino Blood. In current day Africa, Dean Davidson is the mastermind behind a syndicate that thrives on the slaughter of animals for their horns or tusks. Kevin Barkley, caught with his hand in the cookie jar, needs to redeem himself. He swears revenge and intends to get it. This realistic and stirring story is the start of a journey into the darkest secrets of animal trading and the near extinction of a species. It depicts the brutal reality of poaching and the people involved. Says the author, “The brutality with which rhino and elephant are killed and the tragic circumstances of the people involved was a major inspiration. One of the biggest obstacles I had to face was the emotional involvement in the story. The killing scenes were all very upsetting, and as an animal lover and a person who has never hunted, the reality of what I experienced was just mind blowing.”

Settler Ecologies
Author: Charis Enns
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 148755740X
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
Settler Ecologies tells the story of how settler colonialism becomes memorialized and lives on through ecological relations. Drawing on eight years of research in Laikipia, Kenya, Charis Enns and Brock Bersaglio use immersive methods to reveal how animals and plants can be enrolled in the reproduction of settler colonialism. The book details how ecological relations have been unmade and remade to enable settler colonialism to endure as a structure in this part of Kenya. It describes five modes of violent ecological transformation used to prolong structures of settler colonialism: eliminating undesired wild species; rewilding landscapes with more desirable species to settler ecologists; selectively repeopling wilderness to create seemingly more inclusive wild spaces and capitalize on biocultural diversity; rescuing injured animals and species at risk of extinction to shore up moral support for settler ecologies; and extending settler ecologies through landscape approaches to conservation that scale wild spaces. Settler Ecologies serves as a cautionary tale for future conservation agendas in all settler colonies. While urgent action is needed to halt global biodiversity loss, this book underscores the need to continually question whether the types of nature being preserved advance settler colonial structures or create conditions in which ecologies can otherwise be (re)made and flourish.
