Official Report of the Exploration of the Queen Charlotte Islands - For the Government of British Columbia

Newton H. Chittenden

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "Official Report of the Exploration of the Queen Charlotte Islands," Newton H. Chittenden presents a meticulously detailed account of his expedition to this remote area of the Pacific Northwest. Reflecting the literary style common in late 19th-century exploration narratives, Chittenden combines scientific observation with vivid descriptions of the landscape and indigenous cultures. The report serves not only as a record of geographical and ecological findings but also as an exploration of the complex interactions between European settlers and Native populations, contextualizing the tensions that arose during this period of American expansion. Newton H. Chittenden, a prominent figure in American exploration, was deeply influenced by the prevailing interests of his time in natural history and cartography. His background in zoology and his role within the U.S. government provided a unique perspective on the significance of the Queen Charlotte Islands, particularly regarding conservation and cultural preservation. His commitment to documenting both the natural and human elements of the land reflects a broader national discourse on identity and environmental stewardship. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in natural history, American exploration, and indigenous studies. Chittenden's firsthand observations and scholarly rigor make this work a vital resource for understanding the challenges faced in preserving both the environment and the cultural heritage of the Queen Charlotte Islands.

Slöjd - The Swedish art of wood...

Kerstin Neumüller

A book for anyone who craves making something with their hands.
Slöjd is Swedish for handicrafts. But it's so much more than making things with your hands. In Sweden, slöjd is a compulsory subject taught to all schoolchildren. From a young age, they work with textiles and wood not only to develop their creativity, but also to learn fine motor skills and problem solving – often leading to a lifelong love and appreciation of crafts.
In her new book, Kerstin Neumüller introduces the concept of slöjd through 18 wood and textile projects. Here's everything from learning how to sew a cap, dye yarn with birch leaves, carve a peg rail, sew a patchwork quilt and mend your jeans.
The projects rarely require any big purchases or unusual tools, and you will be guided with clear step-by-step instructions, pictures and illustrations. With the attitude 'if you think it's good, it's good', Kerstin leaves a lot of room for your own creativity to flourish, while she also helps you avoid the worst pitfalls.
This book is suitable both for beginners itching to get started and for those who already know that handicrafts are the most enjoyable hobby you can have!

Airstream Country - A Geologic...

Neil Mathison

A herd of bison standing in the snow. Layered bluffs of multicolored sandstone. A silver Airstream trailer on a mountain highway. These are familiar sights for Neil Mathison and his wife, Susan. Newly retired, their son in college, they embark upon a great American road trip "uncoupled from the tyranny of calendars or a specific journey." Airstream Country recounts their travels across the western United States as they move from Montana to Malibu and Seattle to Silverton, winding their way through millions of years of geological history with their Airstream in tow. Along the way they encounter upheavals and depositions, ancient seas and young mountains, and stone towers and striated canyons, which are all illuminated by Mathison's knowledgeable commentary. Even after thousands of miles and eons of geology, their adventures are never finished, for, as Mathison writes, "We learn by travel where we ought to travel more."
