Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A captivating insight at a vanishing worldChildhood memoirs rarely come any more enchanting than this. In sharing her experiences growing up in rural Ireland in the 1950s, Mary M. Trant brings to life a world we have lost. She doesn't hide the fact that times could be hard, but the joy that a simple slice of home-made soda bread, lashings of home-made butter and a generous dollop of golden syrup can bring must surely trump any fast-food or ready meal that we could buy today!Maggie and her brother Ted - just a year apart in age but joined forever by love and caring - rampage around their little world, sliding down forbidden water pipes, rounding up the family menagerie composed of any farm animal you could imagine from hens to horses and Mary brings their sheer joy of living exultantly to the page.Mary's world is unique and it is filled with a riot of characters, from family to the villagers - Mrs O'Brien, over from America to find some peace in her last years; Danjoe and his wife, whose already-brimming home always has room for just one more; Josh the postman, with his exciting parcels from Aunt Maureen in San Francisco, that magical land to the far west that Maggie and Ted look for with their hands made into binoculars as the sun sets. There is death and birth but mostly glorious happiness in this creative nonfiction memoir that truly deserves the word 'uplifting'.Life Between the Mountains and the Sea is composed in a series of vignettes which come together seamlessly to paint a picture of a happy land to the west which we would all do well to look towards - with our hands made into binoculars, of course.…

Paperback. Condition: New. The Canadian Mountain Assessment provides a first-of-its-kind look at what we know, do not know, and need to know about mountain systems in Canada. The assessment is based on insights from First Nations, Métis, and Inuit knowledges of mountains, as well as findings from an extensive assessment of pertinent academic literature. Its inclusive knowledge co-creation approach brings these multiple forms of evidence together in ways that enhance our collective understanding of mountains in Canada, while also respecting and maintaining the integrity of different knowledge systems.The Canadian Mountain Assessment is a text-based document, but also includes a variety of visual materials as well as access to video recordings of oral knowledges shared by Indigenous individuals from mountain areas in Canada. The assessment is the result of over three years of work, during which time the initiative played an important role in connecting and cultivating relationships between mountain knowledge holders from across Canada. It is the outcome of contributions from more than 80 Indigenous and non-Indigenous individuals and contains six chapters:IntroductionMountain EnvironmentsMountains as HomelandsGifts of the MountainsMountains Under PressureDesirable Mountain FuturesBy way of these chapters, the Canadian Mountain Assessment aims to enhance appreciation for the diversity and significance of mountains in Canada, to clarify challenges and opportunities for mountain systems in the country, and to motivate and inform new research, relationships, and actions that support the realization of desirable mountain futures. More broadly, the Canadian Mountain Assessment provides insights into applied reconciliation efforts in a knowledge assessment context and seeks to inspire similar knowledge co-creation efforts in and beyond Canada.…
