Jerome Klapka Jerome (1859-1927) was an English author, best known for the humourous travelogue Three Men in a Boat (1889). In 1877, he decided to try his hand at acting, under the stage name Harold Crichton. He joined a repertory troupe who tried to produce plays on a shoestring budget, often drawing on the meager resources of the actors themselves to purchase costumes and props. He tried to become a journalist, writing essays, satires and short stories, but most of these were rejected. Over the next few years he was a school teacher, a packer, and a solicitor's clerk. Finally, in 1885, he had some success with On the Stage-and Off, a humourous book, the publication of which opened the door for more plays and essays.

Morley Charles Roberts (1857-1942) was an English novelist and short story writer. In 1876 he took a steerage passage to Australia, spending three years mostly on sheep stations, before returning to London. For a time he worked in the war office and other government departments. He later travelled a great deal. He used his experiences freely in his books, the first being The Western Avernus (1887). Of his novels, Rachel Marr (1903) was highly praised by William Henry Hudson, and The Private Life of Henry Maitland (1912), based on the life of George Gissing the novelist, was possibly his best known book. Roberts also wrote essays, biography, drama and verse, and did some competent work in biology. Approximately 80 of Roberts' books are recorded in Miller's Australian Literature. He was only a few years in Australia, but there are many Australian references both in his novels and his short stories. Amongst his other works are: In Low Relief (1890), Land-Travel and Sea-Faring (1891), Songs of Energy (1891), The Mate of the Vancouver (1892) and A Tramp's Note-Book (1904).

"These brief notes of experiences with the guns for thirty-eight months in France were primarily penned for my own satisfaction. Friends who read the manuscript expressed much interest in it, and added the hope that it might be given a more permanent form. Hence it is that it is now printed for private circulation. The story is a simple record of the fortunes of my own Battery and Brigade, and is intended as a tribute to the good comradeship which existed, under all conditions, among all ranks. "

Thirty years ago, two young biologists named Robert MacArthur and Edward O. Wilson triggered a far-reaching scientific revolution. In a book titled The Theory of Island Biogeography, they presented a new view of a little-understood matter: the geographical patterns in which animal and plant species occur. Why do marsupials exist in Australia and South America, but not in Africa? Why do tigers exist in Asia, but not in New Guinea? Influenced by MacArthur and Wilson's book, an entire generation of ecologists has recognized that island biogeography - the study of the distribution of species on islands and islandlike patches of landscape - yields important insights into the origin and extinction of species everywhere. The new mode of thought focuses particularly on a single question: Why have island ecosystems always suffered such high rates of extinction? In our own age, with all the world's landscapes, from Tasmania to the Amazon to Yellowstone, now being carved into islandlike fragments by human activity, the implications of island biogeography are more urgent than ever. Until now, this scientific revolution has remained unknown to the general public. But over the past eight years, David Quammen has followed its threads on a globe-circling journey of discovery. In Madagascar, he has considered the meaning of tenrecs, a group of strange, prickly mammals native to that island. On the island of Guam, he has confronted a pestilential explosion of snakes and spiders. In these and other places, he has prowled through wild terrain with extraordinary scientists who study unusual beasts. The result is The Song of the Dodo, a book filled with landscape, wonder, and ideas. Besides being a grand outdoor adventure, it is, above all, a wake-up call to the age of extinctions.

Food In The Novels Of Joseph Conrad written by Kim Salmons and has been published by Springer this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2017-07-18 with Literary Criticism categories.
This book is about the role of food in the works of Joseph Conrad, analysing the social, political and anthropological context of references to meals, eating, food production and cannibalism. It offers a new perspective on the works of Joseph Conrad and provides an accessible medium through which readers can engage with the complex theories and philosophical dilemmas that Conrad presents in his fiction. This is the only major study of food in Conrad’s works; it is unique in its interdisciplinary approach to food in that it engages with sociological, political, historical, personal and literary perspectives, thus providing a multi-dimensional approach to cultural, revolutionary, periodical and fictional representations of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This in turn, allows an interrogation of modern anxieties, embedded in cultural norms and values that can be interpreted through the way that food is prepared and eaten.

Louisa Sarah Bevington (1845-1895), also known as Mrs. Guggenberger, was the author of Key-Notes (1879), Poems, Lyrics and Sonnets (1882), Common- Sense Country (1890), The Why I Ams (w William Morris) (1894), Liberty Lyrics (1895), Chiefly a Dialogue (1895), An Anarchist Manifesto (1895) and Anarchism and Violence (1896). To you, first found, when out of empty days My heart ached youthfully for earnest aim- For sympathy with hunger of its cry- For echo of its better discontent- To you whom quite I reverence and trust, Aime, most patient listener, most true friend, I send some key-notes of life's journeying moods As voice on voice awakened in my soul, Responsive to fresh visions and new springs. Touched one by one they scarcely modulate, - These several strains; no hint connects their tones; This half effaces that with new intent;
