Softcover. Condition: Good. TAKEN BY STORM explores the science, policy and debate over global warming.The physical phenomena in climate and weather are among the most complex in nature, and science can say very little about what they will do in the future. Yet a large international policy framework has been built precisely on the assumption that we know what is happening and how to control it. In TAKEN BY STORM, Christopher Essex and Ross McKitrick prove this assumption false, carefully explaining the science of climate change and deconstructing the widespread myth of global warming. They argue that the connection between between science and society is disintegrating, and they propose a vital first step toward repairing this relationship.

That summer Michelle witnessed her first dragon boat race: six boats lined up at the starting line, occupied by women of every age, shape and size -- a colorful, happy crowd of ladies in pink -- the shoreline crowded with cheering spectators, many of them no longer able to race. Here the master storyteller found the people who could tell living stories about what it meant to meet and conquer dragons.

The benefits of red wine in treating bacterial infections, stomach aches, kidney stones, and many other ailments, is also explored.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Illustrated (illustrator). First Edition. Published in the U.S. as <u>Looking for Anne of Green Gables: The Story of L. M. Montgomery and Her Literary Classic</u>.<br /><br />By any standards, Lucy Maud Montgomerys Anne of Green Gables is a stunning success. Published in 1908 (and not once out of print), Anne has sold more than 50 million copies, been translated into more than 17 languages (including Braille), and become the focus of international conferences devoted to its interpretation. Anne has remained, as Matthew sings in the musical, forever young, no small feat for the spunky, in-your-face redhead who, in 2008, celebrates her 100th birthday! But why Anne? How does Montgomerys classic work pull so many international readers into the vortex of Annes freckled face and carrotty braids? How does this little book create such enduring interest around the world? The answer is far more intriguing than any story even Anne could have imagined. In her journal, Mauds quick pen would froth up the tiniest details of her life into dramatic events, but that same pen never revealed a single word about Anne. As a result, the novels secrets have remained sealed for over a century. Looking for Anne is the untold story of a literary classic and a writer who found inspiration in many places including the popular images of the era, such as beauty icons, fashion plates, and advertisements; a writer who quietly quarried her material from American mass market periodicals; who consciously imitated formula fiction to create marketable stories for juvenile periodicals, religious newspapers, and glamorous womens magazinesand who ultimately, in the storm that brewed up the novel, also transcended these influences to create a twentieth-century literary classic that would conquer the world. Blending biography with cultural history, penetrating and uncensored, this is the definitive book on Anne of Green Gables. Looking for Anne captures both the spirit of Marillas critical probing for bald facts and Annes belief in the infinite power of the imagination. It is a must-read for anyone who has ever fallen under the spell of Anne with an e. Praise Looking for Anne takes a bold new look at Anne of Green Gables. If you have loved Anne of Green Gables and wonder how she came about, I recommend that you read Irene Gammels book.

Softcover. Condition: Good. 0. Who could forget the searing images and heartfelt emotions stirred up by 2005s Live 8 benefit? The message was simple: lets make poverty history. Hundreds of thousands of well-meaning people from all over North America and Europe responded with an outpouring of donations. It was a remarkable display of compassion. Heads of state who assembled at the most recent G8 conference posed in front of the cameras to proclaim the Wests determination to eliminate poverty in Africa. Leaders of the richest countries in the world agreed that it was incumbent upon them to come to the aid of the poorest countries in the world. But as Giles Bolton makes so heartbreakingly clear in this compelling and at times angry manifesto, virtually nothing has changed. Drawing on his experience at ground zero of the international humanitarian aid movement, Bolton provides a simple, succinct but comprehensive guide to the complex reality of the aid industry in Africa. What really happens to your aid money? Where does the money go? How do globalization and trade regulations exacerbate the problem? How do government agencies waste and squander your money? In part the memoir of a dedicated, idealistic aid worker and in part a frustrated and angry jeremiad of a jaded political bureaucrat. Giles Boltons Poor Story is a clarion call to everyone in the West to wise up to the reality of international aid, and a passionate and heartfelt plea to effect change and real reliefbefore it is too late.

In Opening Gambits, Mark Kingwell argues that art and philosophy are forms of play, working at the margins of meaning and sense. Written in Kingwells typical witty and eloquent style, the book begins with general assessments of the art world and the relationship between art and architecture. In part two, Kingwell reverses the polarity, investigating philosophy as a kind of art form that is constantly questioning its own possibility.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Sightseers and Scholars provides portraits of the explorers and naturalists who sought to explore the New World in the pre-Darwinian Age. The late 18th and early 19th centuries in Europe and America saw the dawn of a golden age of science in which society energetically sought to quantify, categorize, and rationally explain the world. The accurate cataloguing of nature was one of the goals of the age, and most plants and animals known today were collected, classified, and named in a great frenzy of scientifically-motivated exploration. Until the publication in 1859 of Darwin's The Origin of Species, it was believed that there was a finite number of species on the planet and through diligent effort all of nature might be collected and then studied. Sightseers and Scholars profiles nine important naturalists-both dedicated professionals and amateurs-who set off for what is now North and South America to discover and document the natural wonders they found there. Their stories of adventure are punctuated with hardship, both in finding the financing to get their ventures off the ground, and the vagaries of the elements once they reached the New World, be it North or South America. Despite the odds, these explorers, either travelling with artists or as artists themselves, chronicled their adventures in both words and pictures, providing a unique portrait of the natural world in North, South and Central America before it became widely settled. Many of the species observed or discovered still bear the names of the explorers who discovered them (the Stellar Sea Lion, Douglas Fir, Townsend's Finch). Written with insight, the sometimes wry, always fascinating, text entertains the modern reader with the adventures of: William Bartram, Alexander Von Humboldt, Charles Waterton, Prince Maximillian of Wied, David Douglas, John Townsend, John Richardson, Henry Bates and John Powell.

Softcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. In Skvorecky`s first fictional work in English, the narrator lives with amused resignation in two worlds. His life with a group of his old friends, all exiles or emigres from the same country - "the country where we used to live" - is full of nostalgia, old feuds, loves, gossip, treacherous betrayals and friendships that have lasted through wars and revolutions. The narrator`s life is all the more poignantly steeped in the past because his wife, Sidonia, devotes all her energy, time and love to her publishing house and the publication of the suppressed literature of her native country. The narrator`s other, entirely separate, life is lived in the pleasant, pampered, fatuously self-congratulatory world of a modern Canadian university, a world in which grave attention is given to matters such as whether a certain male professor has left his office door wide open enough while interviewing a female student. Murder suddenly intrudes upon both of these worlds. The murder in the academic world is a parody of a detective novel. Cleverly mocking the jaunty insouciant tone of the genre, it features a beauty queen, professorial jealousies and a neat conclusion. The murder in the narrator`s other life is a tragedy, in which an evil web of lies works insidiously to entangle its victim. The shocking conclusion is anything but neat. This is a brilliantly stylish tour de force, in which the bright, sarcastic comedy of one tale sharply contrasts with the dark, elegiac bitterness of the other. A strikingly original book.
