Book Synopsis To the Elephant Graveyard by : Tarquin Hall

Download or read book To the Elephant Graveyard written by Tarquin Hall and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Introduces us to the darker side of the Asian elephant. It is more of a thriller than a straightforward travel book . . . insightful and sensitive.” —Literary Review On India’s northeast frontier, a killer elephant is on the rampage, stalking Assam’s paddy fields and murdering dozens of farmers. Local forestry officials, powerless to stop the elephant, call in one of India’s last licensed elephant hunters and issue a warrant for the rogue’s destruction. Reading about the ensuing hunt in a Delhi newspaper, journalist Tarquin Hall flies to Assam to investigate. To the Elephant Graveyard is the compelling account of the search for a killer elephant in the northeast corner of India, and a vivid portrait of the Khasi tribe, who live intimately with the elephants. Though it seems a world of peaceful coexistence between man and beast, Hall begins to see that the elephants are suffering, having lost their natural habitat to the destruction of the forests and modernization. Hungry, confused, and with little forest left to hide in, herds of elephants are slowly adapting to domestication, but many are resolute and furious. Often spellbinding with excitement, like “a page-turning detective tale” (Publishers Weekly), To the Elephant Graveyard is also intimate and moving, as Hall magnificently takes us on a journey to a place whose ancient ways are fast disappearing with the ever-shrinking forest. “Hall is to be congratulated on writing a book that promises humor and adventure, and delivers both.” —The Spectator “Travel writing that wonderfully hits on all cylinders.” —Booklist “A wonderful book that should become a classic.” —Daily Mail

Book excerpt: Castro's 5th novel is perhaps his most complex and certainly his most political. Like all his work it is productively playful, punningly irreverent and deeply concerned with sex and death, fact and fiction, but also with the redemptive possibilities of art and the existential power of the novel - all in the context of Australia's contested history.

Download or read book The Portfolio Bubble written by J Michael Willard and published by The Willard Group. This book was released on 2005-02 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first wave of baby boomers is reaching retirement age. Some are professionals who don't aspire to retire. For some, retiring and spending time on the golf course or with grandkids is the ultimate reward after a life of work. For others, work is the reward, and it is for those people, professionals who plan to continue working at age 60 and beyond, that Mike Willard has written The Portfolio Bubble: Surviving Professionally at 60. In The Portfolio Bubble, Willard offers practical advice for professionals who find themselves planning for the next phase of their working life. He shows how to add life experiences and professional abilities to a work portfolio that can be used to launch a new career - or to reinvigorate an existing one. The Portfolio Bubble is written for an affluent, motivated audience. It stands alone in addressing the interests of the older executive who wants to prolong his work-life and is looking for answers.
