Set against the backdrop of one of the most colorful countries in the world, A Glimpse of Eternal Snows is an inspiring story of courage, love and a family's determination to give their child the best life possible. In pulsating, polluted Kathmandu and an idyllic village on a river island at the foot of the Himalayas, 'Doctor Jane' and her engineer husband Simon hope to make a difference: Jane to fulfil her vision to heal and advocate for the poor, Simon to avert the floods that threaten to devastate the land every monsoon season. The Nepali people are accepting of whatever fate flings at them and here the family find sanity, compassion and joy with baby David, who in England was little more than an 'interesting case'. This is a tale of Himalayan highs and monsoon lows, of cultural complexities, unexpected wildlife and rugged terrain, of vivid color, superstition and spicy smells.
Guyanese Creole bears the heavy living cargo of the histories of the many peoples who came and were forcibly brought to Guyana. Our language contains living reminders of the places from which we came, the cultures from which we hail, and the multiple intersections of these once-separate variables. In Guyana Creolewe see the contentiousness that comes when different peoples are placed in antagonistic relations with each other. It also records our togetherness and how we relate to each other to forge a nation from the flotsam and jetsam of our history.Guyanese Creole is a constant and living reminder of how we became one nation despite the odds and in spite of extant apparent differences. Our language is the embodiment of our past and our present and it has the capacity to envelope the future. This Dictionary of Guyanese Words and Expressions is the most comprehensive work in the history of Guyana. Even so, because all living languages – and Guyanese Creole is a living language – evolve, Guyana Creole is ceaselessly evolving. As comprehensive as is this dictionary, the work will always be unfinished. This Dictionary will be of interest to all Guyanese at home and abroad.
In a triumph of marketing, the Tasmanian salmon industry has for decades succeeded in presenting itself as world’s best practice and its product as healthy and clean, grown in environmentally pristine conditions. What could be more appealing than the idea of Atlantic salmon sustainably harvested in some of the world’s purest waters? But what are we eating when we eat Tasmanian salmon? Richard Flanagan’s exposé of the salmon farming industry in Tasmania is chilling. In the way that Rachel Carson took on the pesticide industry in her ground-breaking book Silent Spring, Flanagan tears open an industry that is as secretive as its practices are destructive and its product disturbing. From the burning forests of the Amazon to the petrochemicals you aren’t told about to the endangered species being pushed to extinction you don’t know about; from synthetically pink-dyed flesh to seal bombs . . . If you care about what you eat, if you care about the environment, this is a book you need to read. Toxic is set to become a landmark book of the twenty-first century.
