Soft cover. Etat : Good. Hint of foxing making this a very good reading copy. The Water Thieves is a passionate and engaging account of a year in the author's life. Galvanised into action by the realisation that the wetlands and streams all around him have begun to wither, Sam Mahon embarks on a year of involvement in local body politics. This memoir charts the frustrations, relationships, and conflicts, as well as the need for wild invention when he agrees to run for Council. Mahon's descriptions of the natural world rival those from our best poets. Yet when he describes the real nuts and bolts of politics: council meetings, memos, phone trees, protests, working with fellow environmentalists, he's also a comically disarming and often blistering, social satirist. His energy for sustaining a fight in the face of maddening obstruction is prodigious. Mahon's techniques for gaining councillor and media attention are hilarious, bloody-minded and bold: from pyrotechnics to mock funerals; from stabbingly witty speeches to asking those in power to put their politics where their immediate health is, demonstrates all the qualities of the firebrand. This memoir is poetry, expose, elegy, Shakespearean comedy, drama and protest song. Mahon weaves the world of the artist and the world of the environmental activist with skill and immediacy. His comments on human nature, including his own, make for some hilarious, and sobering, moments. The Water Thieves is an astonishing and intensely interesting account concerning one of our most valuable natural resources. It is skilfully and passionately written with an individual and honest voice: a new voice in the literary non-fiction genre of memoir.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. A very good clean copy. An award-winning zoologist travels in Charles Darwin's footsteps, and in search of the meaning of life. In one of the most inhospitable places on Earth, zoologist Lloyd Spencer Davis comes face to face with an enraged leopard seal. Towering ice cliffs, a ferocious creature of the deep, and the extreme Antarctic environment all turn Davis's world view on its head. 'What the hell am I doing here?' This question sets Davis on a quest for insight and meaning in a world that still pitches theories of evolution against belief in a Creator; the science of natural selection against a faith that asserts our world was crafted by Intelligent Design. With a self-deprecating grin packed along with his cabin baggage - even when his passport isn't - Davis decides to follow the travels of the eminent nineteenth-century naturalist, Charles Darwin: the man who did more to change our understanding of this planet than any other biologist. Looking for Darwin gives us a personal and intimate insight into Darwin and what drove the man. It is also an attempt to resolve that initially panicked - and then far-reaching - question, that first hit Davis on the big ice. With a wealth of research and vivid imagery - along with a disarming honesty - Lloyd Spencer Davis takes the reader on an unforgettable world tour.

Livre Edition originale
Soft cover. Etat : Good. 1st Edition. A good copy. THE ACCIDENTAL ANTHROPOLOGIST is a fascinating, impeccably written memoir, or more accurately, a series of fragments. Compelling and absorbing as well as intense and insightful, Jackson writes a far from classically autobiographical text. There is nothing predictable about the mode or incidents he has chosen to write about: this is literary memoir at its best and most inventive. Jackson has a fascination with the concept of personal metamorphosis, the idea that a life can be dismantled and reassembled in a different country and set of relationships. And throughout the story the author makes a pretty good fist of living the theory. The intimacy of the first chapter Intensive Care engages the reader immediately. Jackson's experiences begin with his earnest portrayal of young adulthood in Wellington where he associates on the fringes with many of the literary figures of the early 60s, Bob Lowry, Fleur Adcock, James K. Baxter, R.A.K. Mason and the artist McCahon. Jackson finds himself homeless in London where he's drawn to help the poor and eventually finds his way to Cambridge where he stumbles upon anthropology. His subsequent ethnographic fieldwork takes him to the Congo, Sierra Leone, and outback Australia. Jackson makes it clear that our lives are barely our own, they belong as much to the people, the landscapes, the influences of thought and ideology that absorb us. He excels at the intensely personal and captivates with this masterful work. THE ACCIDENTAL ANTHROPOLOGIST is a challenging and magnificent memoir; much of it is spellbinding, astute and disquieting.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. Feels unread and has only very minor shelf wear. Perhaps this Japanese proverb explains why Westerners know so little about Japan and how its citizens fared during World War II and the consequent US Occupation. In A Touch of Sleeve one Japanese gentleman doesn't care about exposing his 'insides' for public view. He has things he wants to say a This is Hisashi Furuya's story as told to Susan Bell. The author met Hisashi when he and his sister immigrated to New Zealand in 1991. Her portrait of Hisashi tells how one man was caught up in the course of history, and was not only influenced by tradition and family, but by events unfolding on a daily basis. Susan Bell maps the history of Japan along with that of Hisashi's ancestors, both his samurai and priestly lineage. With his traditional childhood and elite education Hisashi had a future full of promise. But war changed his life dramatically. Here we are given a Japanese view of the military build-up that led to the bombing of Pearl Harbour. We experience first hand the savage carpet bombings of Tokyo, the consequent deprivation of its inhabitants and their bewilderment at the US Occupation. We also witness the rebuilding of a defeated nation. Another Japanese proverb that Hisashi is fond of is, 'When our sleeves touch it is karma'. Hisashi believes that meeting Susan Bell was inevitable and that she has enabled him to tell his story so that we may better understand Japan today.
