Chronicle Books Sheepology: The Ultimate Encyclopedia
Book SynopsisWelcome to the wonderful world of sheep! Sheepology is filled with incredible sheep facts told in a playful tone by Ilaria Demonti, with endearing illustrations by Camilla Pintonato. Discover all there is to know about sheep in all of their wooly mammal glory in Sheepology. Have you ever heard the phrase "nation of sheep"? The meaning comes from the fact that sheep do not like to be alone. You'll find them flocking together in large groups, or with groups of other animals, such as pigs, chickens, and goats. Did you know that because of the way wool is processed in North America, it's the only region in the world where wool produces an allergic reaction? Have you ever wondered how sheep's milk turns into cheese? Or the steps for shearing a sheep, and how sheep wool is processed, from washing, carding, and combing to spinning and dyeing in order to make yarn for knitting? These and other intriguing and engaging facts about sheep can be found in Sheepology, a visual encyclopedia and follow-up to Chickenology and Pigology. Nature and animal-loving readers of all ages will find something to discover.

Reaktion Books Sheep
Book SynopsisThe Egyptians worshipped them, the Romans dressed them in fitted coats, the Christians made the shepherd synonymous with their divine saviour. In Sheep, Philip Armstrong traces the natural and cultural history of both the wild and domestic species of Ovis: from the Old World mouflon to the corkscrew-horned flocks of the Egyptians, to the 'Trojan sheep' of Homer's Odyssey, to the vast migratory mobs of Spanish merinos - all the way to Dolly the cloned ewe and the sheep-human hybrids of Haruki Murakami. Above all else, Sheep demonstrates that sometimes the most mundane animals turn out to be the most surprising.

Penguin Books Ltd Chronicles Penguin Classics
Book SynopsisOne of the greatest contemporary records of fourteenth-century England and FranceDepicting the great age of Anglo-French rivalry from the deposition of Edward II to the downfall of Richard II, Froissart powerfully portrays the deeds of knights in battle at Sluys, Crecy, Calais and Poitiers during the Hundred Years War. Yet they are only part of this vigorous portrait of medieval life, which also vividly describes the Peasants' Revolt, trading activities and diplomacy against a backdrop of degenerate nobility. Written with the same sense of curiosity about character and customs that underlies the works of Froissart's contemporary, Chaucer, the Chronicles are a magnificent evocation of the age of chivalry.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Transworld Publishers Ltd The Sheep’s Tale: The story of our most
Book Synopsis'An important book on several levels... Read a few sentences out loud, wherever you are.' Rosamund YoungEverybody thinks they know what sheep are like: they're stupid, noisy, cowardly ('lambs to the slaughter'), and they're 'sheepwrecking' the environment.Or maybe not. Contrary to popular prejudice, sheep are among the smartest animals in the farmyard, fiercely loyal, forming long and lasting friendships. Sheep, farmed properly, are boons to biodiversity. They also happen to taste good and their fleeces warm us through the winter - indeed, John Lewis-Stempel's family supplied the wool for Queen Elizabeth's 'hose'.Observing the traditional shepherd's calendar, The Sheep's Tale is a loving biography of ewes, lambs, and rams through the seasons. Lewis-Stempel tends to his flock with deep-rooted wisdom, ethical consideration, affection, and humour. This book is a tribute to all the sheep he has reared and sheared - from gregarious Action Ram to sweet Maid Marion. In his inimitable style, he shares the tales that only a shepherd can tell.Trade ReviewI found this book not only pleasingly escapist but also nostalgic... the writing is vivid, lyrical and seductive... There's a romance to shepherding that is entirely absent from pig and poultry farming. * The Times *The Sheep's Tale is an important book on several levels... Read a few sentences out loud, wherever you are; everyone should know more about sheep. -- Rosamund Young, author of The Secret Life of CowsA book of brilliant authenticity. Lewis-Stempel's affection for, and empathy with, sheep springs off every page. -- Sally Coulthard, author of A Short History of the World According to SheepJohn Lewis Stempel's paean of praise for our wonderful and unique breeds of British sheep ought to be widely read. Sheep and pastoral farming are coming under increasingly strident onslaught and they will need every ounce of support they can get if they are to survive into the future. -- Philip Walling, author of Counting SheepThis little book is both delightful and useful. * Country Life *

New York Review Books A Parish Chronicle
Book SynopsisFrom Iceland’s Nobel laureate, an essayistic tale of the unlikely miracles that return a church—fated to disappear over & again throughout time—to the same hillside1882. In the still of morning, Ólafur sharpens his scythe on the bone-dry pavestones that separate his farmhouse from the rest of Mosfell Valley, where life revolves around sheep. The sound of his hammer rings out like a high-pitched bell over the tussocky fields. Across the valley, perched on a hill that hoards more sunshine than others, stands Mosfell Church. Nearby, the parish priest’s maid Gunna pours her “slosh,” a weak cup of coffee. Further afield in Reykjavík (“down south” as the locals say) the general assembly decides to revisit an old plan to cut costs by consolidating small parishes, and calls for the demolition of Mosfell. Yet today a church stands on that same hillside—its sharp steeple silhouetted against the clouds, its crown bell hanging to the left of the altar. In A Parish Chronicle, celebrated novelist Halldór Laxness combs through the minutest details of history—from the location of the ancient burial mound of national hero Egill Skallagrímsson down to the latter part of the 19th century, when weak-sighted Ólafur and bawdy farmhand Gunna will each play an unlikely role in the parish’s stubborn survival. An intimate ode to the way of life in Laxness’s home valley, and a shrewd commentary on how history bends to the quirks of certain individuals—A Parish Chronicle abounds with life.

Her reading of the book is historically aware, literarily sensitive, theologically informed, and pastorally astute.

Profile Books Ltd Counting Sheep: A Celebration of the Pastoral
Book SynopsisSheep are the thread that runs through the history of the English countryside. Our fortunes were once founded on sheep, and this book tells a story of wool and money and history, of merchants and farmers and shepherds, of English yeomen and how they got their freedom, and above all, of the soil. Sheep have helped define our culture and topography, impacting on everything from accent and idiom, architecture, roads and waterways, to social progression and wealth. With his eye for the idiosyncratic, Philip meets the native breeds that thrive in this country; he tells stories about each breed, meets their shepherds and owners, learns about their past - and confronts the present realities of sheep farming. Along the way, Philip meets the people of the countryside and their many professions: the mole-catchers, the stick-makers, the tobacco-twisters and clog-wrights. He explores this artisan heritage as he re-discovers the countryside, and finds a lifestyle parallel to modern existence, struggling to remain unchanged - and at its heart, always sheep.Trade ReviewPhilip Walling has written a fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable account of this shared history... after reading this book you may look at a sheep, or a roast lamb, or a tweed jacket, with the glimmerings of a new appreciation.' -- Angus Clarke * The Times *Delightful ... Counting Sheep deserves its place on the bookshelf of any lover of the countryside. -- Horatio Clare * Daily Telegraph *Jacobs are yet another breed supposed to have swum ashore from a wrecked ship, this time a Spanish galleon in 1588. These were gentlemen's sheep, and commercial farmers would be disdainful of their being kept as ornaments with no concern for profit. To their gentle owners they were living lawn mowers that bred their own replacements and needed no fuel. But to a working farmer they were (and still are) little better than goats, and a damned nuisance. * From Counting Sheep *

Ohio University Press The Sheep Book
Book Synopsis“The Sheep Book offers a template for both the beginner and the old hand. Mixing theoretical, technical and practical, Parker offers a buffet of tips for any sheep producer.” —Joel Salatin, author of You Can FarmTrade Review“The Sheep Book offers a template for both the beginner and the old hand. Mixing theoretical, technical and practical, Parker offers a buffet of tips for any sheep producer.”“Ron combines intelligent observations with a shrewd and delightful humor, and his practical experience shows through at every turn. Unlike so many textbooks, Ron's book is structured around the gentle cycle of a ewe's production year, which is elegantly logical and effective. Beginner and veteran shepherds alike will appreciate the many how-to-do-it descriptions in these chapters. The reading is always interesting, always clear, and this book would be an asset in any shepherd's library.”“The revised and updated The Sheep Book is what the literary critics would call a ‘must read’ for beginning shepherds. For that matter the lists of sources for supplies, of web sites, of organizations, of breed associations, and of publications will be worth the price of the book to experienced shepherds. Ron's insistence from his first days as a sheep farmer on raising sheep outside on grass with no heavy equipment put him ahead of the low-tech, sustainable ag movement. His scientific background and his ‘outside the box’ thinking make this a book of substance, significance, and originality without being the least bit pedantic.”

Iron Press She Chronicles
Book SynopsisThe poems are inspired by the courageous, unconventional, pioneering and indomitable spirits of some remarkable Restoration and 18th century women. Their histories and accomplishments are mostly absent in the modern consciousness and were invariably ignored or belittled in their own time. The women are disparate with regard to class and personal circumstance, however they are united by their audacity in being unconventional, or even simply notable, at a time when this was the prerogative of men.These poems are not works of historical fiction. Just as observations and reflections on contemporary life and experiences are harnessed as poetic material, so some impressionistic gleaning of the lives ahead provided the muse for this collection. And while many are necessarily flavoured with historical nuance, there is a universality in what the lives of these extraordinary women present to us: as individuals who know what it is to hope, love, struggle and survive.

Boydell & Brewer Ltd Short Scottish Prose Chronicles
Book SynopsisEdition, with facing translation, of chronicles from the late medieval/early modern period, concerning the history of Scotland. The seven chronicles edited here record Scottish history as it circulated in the late fifteenth century and the early sixteenth century in abbreviated and mostly vernacular texts, intended for a broader, less educated audience than was served by the great Latin chronicles of Fordun, Bower, Boece, and their successors. They reflect the greatly expanded literacy of the end of the Middle Ages, and the consequent necessity of educating a broader public in theoutlines of Scottish history and contemporary Scottish politics. They build their version of medieval events on Scotland's foundation myths and exhibit a distinct anti-English bias - indeed, the Scottis Originale began a type of Scottish anti-Arthurian tradition. They thus present an alternative and distinctly "Scottish" view of "history". The chronicles are presented here with with comprehensive notes and glossaries. They are: La Vraie Cronicque d'Escoce, The Scottis Originale, The Chronicle of the Scots, The Ynglis Chronicle, Nomina Omnium Regum Scotorum, The Brevis Chronica, The St Andrews Chronicle. Dan Embree is Emeritus Professor of English, Mississippi State University; Edward Donald Kennedy is Emeritus Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Kathleen Daly was formerly Senior Lecturer in History at the Open University, UKTrade ReviewWill be of great use to those interested in both medieval history and historiography. * INTERNATIONAL REVIEW OF SCOTTISH STUDIES *A wonderful achievement that will make detailed intertextual work much easier to accomplish in the future. * RENAISSANCE QUARTERLY *Its authoritative versions of hitherto unpublished or inaccessible chronicles are valuable tools for those with a variety of interests in Scottish history. . . . The erudite and entertaining introduction to the volume clearly and concisely illustrates the variety of insights to be gleaned from these chronicles and sets them in their literary and historical background, making the richness of Scottish historical writing, and the history of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Scotland, accessible and profitable to scholars and students alike. * SCOTTISH HISTORICAL REVIEW *The editors and translators should be commended for their erudite scholarship. Editing a volume of seven different chronicles, in multiple languages, is no small task. The seven chronicles are meticulously transcribed and edited, and the translations are faithful and accurate. The textual notes occupy roughly one-third of the book; they are substantial and helpful to the reader. Any questions that I had while reading theses chronicles were answered in full in these notes or in the bountiful bibliographic footnotes. The glossary is meticulous. This book is a substantial contribution to late medieval Scottish historical writing. * THE MEDIEVAL REVIEW *Scholars of medieval Scottish history and literature have an erudite (but accessible) one-stop shop from which to research - and teach - some of the neglected gems of Older Scots historiography. * ARCHIV *A scholarly and accessible volume. * JOURNAL OF SCOTTISH HISTORICAL STUDIES *Table of ContentsIntroduction La Vraie Cronicque d'Escoce The Scottis Originale The Chronicle of the Scots The Ynglis Chronicle Nomina Omnium Regum Scotorum and The Brevis Cronica The St Andrews Chronicle Explanatory Notes Textual Notes Bibliography Glossary

Nieves Chronicles Vol.3
Book SynopsisThe tract developments are emulations of utopian communities. Going back to the 1920's utopian cult Kibbo Kift made banners that they took to specific locations of historic, mysterious monuments and natural monument occurances, Silbury Hill, Stonehenge. The real estate developments around Los Angeles are not mysterious but can be branded as such. An escape from the city life, with names that connote a natural preserve, such as Hidden Hills, Golden Valley, Garden Paradise Estates. Even though they all reside within the smog polluted skies that everyone in the Los Angeles basin does, they poke the desire for utopian living in nature, a simpler time. How to forget about technology, automation and the consequences of our hyper technological age. The signage is placed outside the entrance like the banners of Kibbo Kift, which they would make and bring ceremoniously to these natural or historic places. If one meditates on it maybe it will become real, transposing the desire for escape and living unfettered in paradise, getting back to the garden. as Joni Mitchell would say. Kim Gordon Chronicles Vol. 3 combines Kim Gordon''s Real Estate Paintings with staged canvases photographed by Josephine Pryde in vacant apartments and offices in and around Kriens and Lucerne. The photos, which were taken using purely analogue technology, create a disturbing and enraptured atmosphere.Kim Gordon is an American musician, singer and songwriter, best known as the bassist, guitarist, and vocalist of Sonic Youth. In addition to her work as a musician, Gordon has had ventures in record producing, fashion (X-Girl), writing, acting, directing and has worked consistently as a visual artist throughout her musical career. She formed Sonic Youth with Thurston Moore, Lee Renaldo and Richard Edson in 1981. Gordon is also a founding member of the musical project Free Kitten, which she formed with Julia Cafritz in 1993. Josephine Pryde lives and works in London and Berlin. Her photographs and sculptures reactivate techniques and concepts from a variety of sources including fashion photography, the natural sciences and fine art printing and function in a more or less close combination with the specific surroundings and their attendant relationships. Josephine Pryde has exhibited internationally, she was a nominee for the Turner Prize in 2016. Pryde's work can be found in public collections including The British Council, Museum of Modern Art in New York, Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.

Disruption Books The Couscous Chronicles: Stories of Food, Love,
Book SynopsisFollow Azzedine Downes as he drifts between cultures, places, and time to build a life of service and adventure, first as a young educator in Morocco and later as a father making a home for his family in the United States. As the son of an Irish father and a Muslim mother, blue-eyed Azzedine feels the power— and the burden— of being a cultural shape-shifter. His presence alone evokes curiosity and arguments, sometimes risking great danger to himself and his family. He makes his way as a teacher, an organizer, and later a leader in the U.S. Peace Corps. In this wry traveler’ s memoir, his tales elicit at turn laughter, compassion, and heartache as Azzedine confronts the human compulsion to make sense of those around us, even when we’ re wrong.“ I never found life to be linear and so returning to a point in time never surprised me,” Azzedine writes. “ What surprised me was the reaction of those that struggled to tether me to one place.” Featuring a foreword by Jane Goodall, who shares his vision for hope and resilience in a troubled world, The Couscous Chronicles unravels the tapestry of a vibrant journey where one is never a stranger, but also never at home.Table of ContentsFEZ, MOROCCO: THE MEDINA The Labyrinth Language, Cleanliness, and the Yellow Babouche Bread and Other Smells of Life Feet Smell and So Do Yellow Babouche Sniffing Glue and Lessons Learned Nassarani An Endless String of Apologies Donkeys, Virility, and Birth Control The Buddhist Monk and Talking in My Sleep Couscous, the Foundation of All Life Baraka and the Sheep Shopping, Bargaining, and Accents Aziz, Merchant of Carpets and Bagger of Tourists The Simple-Minded Mathematician FEZ, MOROCCO: LA VILLE NOUVELLELa Ville Nouvelle and My Love Affair with French The Grey-Haired CIA Agent and the Spurned Lover Breaking the Rules and the Donnybrook at the Cinema Teenage Frenzy and the Cardboard Keyboard Arabic Lessons Undoing the Spell via a Good Tip The Curse of Fatouma Peep Show at the Café Alone in My Food Poisoning Pain The Intoxicating Dessert The Rif Mountains and The Hirsute Body The Hamman and the Circumcised Foreigner Salade Niç oise and My Wayward Wife CASABLANCA, MARRAKECH, ZAGORA, AND SALEA Casablanca Unlike the Movie Human Teeth on a Blanket Just Tell Me Where It Is Where There is No Doctor Adapting to Male Chauvinism— My Own Marrakech Express and the Draft The Real Morocco No Room at the Inn How To Break the Cigarette Habit Immediately The Donkey and the Bottle of Cologne Marriage, Spies, and the Muslim Brotherhood CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSSETS The Somewhat Worthless Diploma Where There Is Still No Doctor Street Urchin Arabic and a Wise Mentor The Butcher of Harvard Marry Me, Blue Eyes FEZ, KENITRA, AND SUPPOSEDLY IMILCHIL Said the Mendacious The Girl from Tangiers What Happens in the Men’ s Locker Room Stays… The Endless Photo Album Viewing The Marriage Festival at Imilchil MAURITANIA Sand and Tea for Two More Couscous and Marrying Fatima Teatime and Slavery Lingering Thoughts of Death and Slavery Political Faux Pas The Breakdancing Consultant The Camel Bar Sweet Sixteen and Alone Father of the English Language in Mauritania To Eat or Not to Eat a Camel Michael Jackson in Mauritania Unintended Consequences and Vapid Conversations The Club in NYC RETURN TO MOROCCO AND ITS MOUNTAINS Now is Not What You Think It Is Blue Eyes, Mick, and Keith Trance Dancing and Demonic Possession Dancing For Grandma at the White House BOSTON, PHILADELPHIA, AND WASHINGTON, DC Marriage, the Dowry and Zulu Dawn The Sad Story on the Train Coming to America The Blunder and the Book The Letter The Conversion A Letter Arrived There Was Couscous at the Wedding Consummation Anticipation Nadia’ s First Cooked Meal in America Household Effects and Clueless Men The Unknown Birthday Return to the Household Effects There Must Be a Conspiracy to Uncover Standing Naked on the Phone YEMEN: THE ANCIENT CITY OF SANA’ A Is Time Travel Real?
