The Christensen Family Were Among The Earliest White Settlers On The Central Coast And West Chilcotin And His Maternal Grandfather, John Clayton, Was The Hudson's Bay Company's Last Trading Post Factor In Bella Coola. For Over Thirty Years Darcy Ran The General Store In Anahim Lake That Had Been Operated By His Family For More Than A Century. In The 1970S Christensen Bought A Plane And Took Some Flying Lessons. Using His Bush Plane Equipped With Skis He Delivered Groceries To People Living In The Outlying Area And Purchased Furs From Trappers As Far North As Babine And Takla Lake. In No Time, He Gained Acclaim As The "Flying Fur Buyer" Of The Cariboo Chilcotin. Christensen Says, "All Anyone Had To Do Was Wave A Mink Pelt At Me And I'd Land And Buy Their Fur." Whether It Was Playing Poker As A Youngster With The Ranch Hands On The Cless Pocket Ranch, Doing Stunts With His Airplane, Or Flipping Double Or Nothing With Customers For A Grocery Order In His Store, Darcy Has Always Had A Penchant For Gambling. He Says His Jousts With Lady Luck Helped Break The Boredom And Monotony Of Life On The Frontier. Double Or Nothing Is A Journey Into The West Chilcotin Where Christensen Describes His Raw And Adventurous Life And His Friendship And Encounters With Such Legends As Pan Phillips, Lester Dorsey, Mickey Dorsey, Domas Squinas, Fred Engebretson And Clayton Mack.…

Paperback or Softback. Condizione: New. Creative and Aesthetic Ways of Grief: "All Things Reimagined". Book.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Inspired by the grief of Australian musician Nick Cave, this edited anthology presents a host of creative and aesthetic ways of living with grief. In doing so, it challenges persistent attempts to homogenise grief and frame it as a solely negative and barren state from which the bereaved must expediently escape.Across 11 chapters, each an account of lived grief by multi-disciplinary academics, artists and funeral professionals, this book showcases the potential for creativity and aesthetic experience within grief. Through autoethnographic and research-based approaches, communicated through evocative imagery as well as text, contributors describe creative and aesthetic ways of grieving that are spectacularly rich, profoundly idiosyncratic and fantastically diverse, forged artfully, playfully and inventively within their contexts, knowledges and realities.Via these layered and living articulations, this book reflects our capacity-and indeed our right-to craft griefs resonant with our own ways of being, lives and contexts, and it attests that forging our own griefways is a creative enterprise that can be enriching, transforming, connecting, protecting and even beautiful. This anthology will be of interest and inspiration not only to diverse academics and grief practitioners alike, but to all of us who are mortal and all of us who grieve.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Life has always been a bit of a gamble for Darcy Christensen. Born in Ocean Falls in 1929, he was raised in Bella Coola Valley and Anahim Lake on the Chilcotin Plateau. The Christensen family were among the earliest white settlers on the Central Coast and West Chilcotin and his maternal grandfather, John Clayton, was the Hudson's Bay Company's last trading post factor in Bella Coola. For over thirty years Darcy ran the general store in Anahim Lake that had been operated by his family for more than a century. In the 1970s Christensen bought a plane and took some flying lessons. Using his bush plane equipped with skis he delivered groceries to people living in the outlying area and purchased furs from trappers as far north as Babine and Takla Lake. In no time, he gained acclaim as the 'Flying Fur Buyer' of the Cariboo Chilcotin. Christensen says, 'All anyone had to do was wave a mink pelt at me and I'd land and buy their fur.' Whether it was playing poker as a youngster with the ranch hands on the Cless Pocket Ranch, doing stunts with his airplane, or flipping double or nothing with customers for a grocery order in his store, Darcy has always had a penchant for gambling. He says his jousts with Lady Luck helped break the boredom and monotony of life on the frontier. Double or Nothing is a journey into the West Chilcotin where Christensen describes his raw and adventurous life and his friendship and encounters with such legends as Pan Phillips, Lester Dorsey, Mickey Dorsey, Domas Squinas, Fred Engebretson and Clayton Mack.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Valentine's Day 2111: Charon's Shadow Passes Over Pluto. Two astronomers park on Charon's near side to watch the eclipse, unaware that their tryst will lead to a saga of sabotage, murder, treachery, and horror. The search for answers for these mysteries ranges from the Caine Toad gang hideout in the Jamaican jungle, to the CIA Headquarters in Kansas City, to the L2 Buzz Aldrin Space Station, to the Lunar city of Marius Hills, and then reaches across the Solar System, past the Ceres' rebellion, and onto Pluto's Port Tombaugh where it crosses the Acheron Bridge to the Lowell II Observatory on the far side of Charon, aworld one step beyond the edge of the 22nd Century Solar System. Maybe a step too far.…
