Mowat farley (Oltre 4100 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Mowat and his family moved to Saskatoon in 1929. His father had (for reasons never completely explained) taken the position of librarian in this remote Canadian frontier town on the edge of a prairie enduring the ravages of the dust bowl, and set smack in a landscape that appeared to be in the last stages of dry rot. The journey was trying for his mother, but for Farley it was a land foreign to all my imagination, and one that offered limitless possibilities for new kinds of adventure. One adventure arrived at their doorstep that summer in the form of a black and white mongrel, snapped up for four cents by his enterprising and frugal mother, and was quickly named by Farley, to his father's chagrin, Mutt.
 
 Mutt turned out to be a game changer, a dog of formidable character. He not only possessed extraordinary skills as a retriever (once going so far as to retrieve a plucked and trussed ruffed grouse from the grocer), but was a determined cat-hater, skunk-baiter, and ladder-scaler. He was, in short, the perfect companion for a boy with a fertile imagination and a preternatural way with words.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Farley Mowat is a World renowed author: over 17 million books sold, New York Times calls him a master storyteller. * In High Latitudes, he chronicles his hazardous 1966 journey across northern Canada. * Readers loved this book, calling it a Great story, an Excellent read, where they learned much about the Canadian High Arctic. * A must-have for wilderness lovers. In High Latitudes, Farley Mowat hoped to write a book that would let northern people speak for themselves and that would expose the speciousness of the political idea that the North was a bloody great wasteland with no people in it, and therefore resource developers could exploit it however they chose. For reasons Mowat describes, that book did not get written then. But here it is now, with the original conversations recorded by Mowat during that epic journey. In vintage Mowat fashion, the legendary writer delivers a sweeping narrative brimming with breathtaking nature writing, suspenseful storytelling, larger-than-life characters, ferocious humor, pitiless rage, iconoclastic insights, and compassionate concern. In her foreword, Margaret Atwood writes: High Latitudes gives us, with passion and insight, a vertical section of time past--the time that preceded our present. The choices that were made then affect our now, just as the choices we make now will determine the future.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. This inquiry begins with the puzzle of sibling relations. Why are individuals from the same family little more similar in personality than people from different families? Why doesn't a shared family environment lead to similar values and beliefs? Sulloway suggests a fresh way of understanding how family affects individual development. Among siblings, the most important factor for systematically understanding the sources of individual differences is birth-order. This work shows how birth-order is so fundamental to the family experience that its effects transcend gender, social class, nationality and time. Using historical examples from scientific revolutions, the French Revolution and the Protestant Reformation, this work shows that Marx was mistaken when he located the engine of historical change between families. The engine of history lies in individual differences arising within the family.…
