The Bulb Hunter by Chris Wiesinger,William C. Welch Pdf

Dubbed the Bulb Hunter in a 2006 New York Times feature story, Chris Wiesinger took his passion for bulbs to vacant lots, abandoned houses, cemeteries, and construction sites throughout the South in search of botanical survivors whose descendants had never seen the inside of a big-box chain store. The vintage specimens Wiesinger sought came from hardy, historic stock, adapted to human neglect and hot climates, reappearing faithfully over decades without care or cultivation. Traveling back roads, speaking to strangers, looking for the telltale color of a remnant iris or lily, Wiesinger started digging, then began trying to grow and share the bulbs he collected. From its humble beginnings on an East Texas sweet potato farm, his Southern Bulb Company has now grown into a full-fledged business known throughout the world, propagating and selling the rare, tough, heritage plants Wiesinger still seeks out and champions. Nicknamed “Flower” by his fellow cadets at Texas A&M University, Wiesinger relates his adventures in bulb hunting, telling stories of the bulbs he has discovered and weaving in his own life story as a student, plantsman, and small business owner. He then teams with veteran horticulturist William C. Welch to provide advice on how to grow and appreciate the bulbs that have been rescued and reintroduced. This “primer” gives gardeners information on what bulbs to grow where, when to plant them and when they bloom, and how to incorporate them with other plants in the landscape. Finally, Welch describes how bulbs have enhanced his personal gardens and brought him and Wiesinger together in the common cause of heirloom gardening. Entertaining, informative, and loaded with beautiful photographs, The Bulb Hunter is sure to be a favorite of gardeners and plant lovers everywhere.

The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Hunters and Gatherers by Richard B. Lee,Richard Heywood Daly,Richard Daly Pdf

Hunting and gathering is humanity's first and most successful adaptation. Until 12,000 years ago, all humanity lived this way. Surprisingly, in an increasingly urbanized and technological world dozens of hunting and gathering societies have persisted and thrive worldwide, resilient in the face of change, their ancient ways now combined with the trappings of modernity. The Encyclopedia is divided into three parts. The first contains case studies, by leading experts, of over fifty hunting and gathering peoples, in seven major world regions. There is a general introduction and an archaeological overview for each region. Part II contains thematic essays on prehistory, social life, gender, music and art, health, religion, and indigenous knowledge. The final part surveys the complex histories of hunter-gatherers' encounters with colonialism and the state, and their ongoing struggles for dignity and human rights as part of the worldwide movement of indigenous peoples.

Hunter's Legacy by Jason Earl Kooi Pdf

"The demonic howls continued reverberating inside the sphere. The shrill sounds kept raising and lowering in pitch, as though there were more than one kind of animal within that filmy fog. Each time the thing inside the dome roared, the different tones slowly began modifying themselves into one piercing bellow, slicing through the air. "Hunter grimly whispered, 'Don't watch. This is the part where something really bad happens.' " On the eve of final exams, the remarkably young, yet remarkably talented Hunter is sent out to the uncivilized ends of the universe to disarm an up-and-coming terrorist organization. In the midst of his absence, an unknown alien species descends upon the Universally-Credited Tactics Academy, the most advanced center for training in interstellar warfare, industrial espionage, and technological sciences. In the space of a single night, this hostile force takes control of the galaxy's best kept military secrets. When these creatures uncover information surrounding the source of Hunter's strength, they stop at nothing to destroy him. Before Hunter can face this new threat, though, he must come to terms with a secret buried deep inside him; a secret that could lead to the destruction of everything and everyone Hunter holds dear.

Hunter and Habitat in the Central Kalahari Desert by George B. Silberbauer Pdf

The Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana is a sand desert covered by scrub and thorn forest, dry and bitterly cold in winter and extremely hot in summer before the short wet season. The only kinds of vegetation surviving this climate are short-lived annuals and deciduous species that lie dormant in the dry season. In this inhospitable territory live the hunter-gatherer G/wi bushmen. George Silberbauer has lived and worked among the G/wi for over ten years. In Hunter and Habitat, he analyses the ways in which G/wi society and culture have been shaped by the rugged natural environment. The book provides a thorough analysis of G/wi society, describing their social, political, and economic organization, their living patterns, subsistence technology, and seasonal adaptations. In short, Hunter and Habitat describes and elucidates the foundation of G/wi society: the interrelationships of the bushmen, their sociocultural system, and their habitat.
