Kook: What Surfing Taught Me About Love, Life, and Catching the Perfect Wave
by Peter HellerAuthor of the New York Times bestselling novel The Dog Stars With grit, poetry, and humor, Peter Heller, acclaimed author of The Whale Warriors recounts his remarkable journey of discovery--of surfing, an entirely new challenge; of the ocean's beauty and power; of the strange surf subculture; of love; and, most of all, of how to seek adventure while crafting a meaningful life. Having resolved to master a big-hollow wave-- that is, to go from kook (surfese for beginner) to shredder--in a single year, Heller travels from Southern California down the coast of Mexico in the company of his girlfriend and the eccentric surfers they meet. Exuberant and fearless, Heller explores the technique and science of surfing the secrets of its culture, and the environmental ravages to the stunning coastline he visits. As Heller plumbs the working of his own heart and finds joy in both love and surfing, he affords readers vivid insight into this fascinating world, with all of its perils and pleasures, its absurdity and wonder. Exhilarating, entertaining, and moving, Kook is a love story between a man and his surfboard, a man and his girlfriend, a not-so-old man and the sea.
Kouchibouguac: Removal, Resistance, and Remembrance at a Canadian National Park
by Ronald RudinIn 1969, the federal and New Brunswick governments created Kouchibouguac National Park on the province's east coast. The park's creation required the relocation of more than 1200 people who lived within its boundaries. Government officials claimed the mass eviction was necessary both to allow visitors to view "nature" without the intrusion of a human presence and to improve the lives of the former inhabitants. But unprecedented resistance by the mostly Acadian residents, many of whom described their expulsion from the park as a "second deportation," led Parks Canada to end its practice of forcible removal. One resister, Jackie Vautour, remains a squatter on his land to this day.In Kouchibouguac, Ronald Rudin draws on extensive archival research, interviews with more than thirty of the displaced families, and a wide range of Acadian cultural creations to tell the story of the park's establishment, the resistance of its residents, and the memory of that experience.
Kumak's Fish: A Tall Tale from the Far North
by Michael BaniaOne Arctic morning, Kumak looked out the window and saw the sun rising over the frozen river. "Ahhh, spring," said Kumak. "The days are long. The nights are short and the ice is still hard. Good day for fish." Eager to try out Uncle Aglu's amazing hooking stick, Kumak goes out ice fishing with his family. Kumak waits patiently and finally, his line twitches. He pulls but can't land the fish. Everyone in the village joins in to help, but Kumak is sucked into the hole. They pull again, and out Kumak flies with a string of fish, each holding onto the fish in front of it. With a catch big enough to feed the whole village, they head home exclaiming, "Good day for fish." The playful art, text, and notes on fishing methods provide children with a window into Inupiat culture in this follow-up to Kumak's House."

by Kyo MaclearThe uplifting journey of a bashful cloud ("kumo" in Japanese) who discovers the rewards of feeling seen.Kumo is a cloud whose only wish is to float unseen. When she&’s assigned cloud duty for the day, she feels overwhelmed by self-doubt and her fear of being noticed. But after learning that closing your eyes isn&’t a good solution to your troubles, Kumo pulls her fluff together and does her duties — drifting, releasing rain and providing shelter — meeting some new friends along the way and inspiring the imagination (and capturing the heart) of a small daydreamer like her. Kyo Maclear&’s sweetly humorous and lyrical parable about shyness, vividly brought to life by Nathalie Dion&’s ethereal illustrations, is an affirmation of the pleasures of community and the confidence that can arise from friendship and visibility.

L'Enfant's Legacy: Public Open Spaces in Washington, D.C
by Michael Bednar(front flap) Many American democratic ideals are embodied in the public spaces of its cities, especially in Washington, D.C. In L'Enfant's Legacy architect and scholar Michael Bednar explores the public spaces of the nation's capital, examining the context of the surrounding architecture and the roles of the spaces in the changing functional life of the city. Bednar examines the ways in which L'Enfant's innovative plan of 1791, along with later developments, symbolizes and encourages democratic freedoms and traditions. In the spaces of Capitol Square, citizens expect to encounter their government directly in a dignified setting, a symbolic public forum. On the White House grounds they expect to meet the president where he works and lives. At the National Mall - America's front lawn - citizens exercise their rights of assembly and free speech, as well as play football, eat lunch, and socialize.

L'últim traginer: A peu pel Pallars i la Vall d'Aran
by Josep Maria EspinàsEspinàs converteix l'experiència de la caminada en una crònica viva en la qual el lector s'aventura amb l'escriptor per camins desconeguts del Pallars i la Vall d'Aran. L'últim traginer ens transporta a un temps en què el Pallars i la Vall Aran no tenien estacions d'esquí, els guàrdies civils anaven amb bicicleta i la centraleta de telèfons de Salardú la feia funcionar, manualment, una noia en un racó de menjador d'una antiga fonda. El lector s'aventura amb l'escriptor pels camins i les valls d'aquestes contrades, en una crònica que reviu un món rural perdut i nostàlgic de mitjan anys cinquanta. Josep M. Espinàs, a través d'aquesta crònica del 1956, reviu uns fets, uns personatges i un paisatge que avui ja formen part del passat, però que l'autor manté vius per sempre amb el seu testimoni de narració viva.
L.I. Mandelstam and His School in Physics
by Alexander PechenkinThis biography of the famous Soviet physicist Leonid Isaakovich Mandelstam (1889–1944), who became a Professor at Moscow State University in 1925 and an Academician (the highest scientific title in the USSR) in 1929, describes his contributions to both physics and technology. It also discusses the scientific community that formed around him, commonly known as the Mandelstam School. By doing so, it places Mandelstam’s life story in its cultural context: the context of German University (until 1914), the First World War, the Civil War, and the development of the Socialist Revolution (until 1925) and the young socialist country. The book considers various general issues, such as the impact of German scientific culture on Russian science; the problems and fates of Russian intellectuals during the revolutionary and post-revolutionary years; the formation of the Soviet Academy of Science, the State Academy; and the transformation of the system of higher education in the USSR during the 1920s and 1930s. Further, it reconstructs Mandelstam’s philosophy of science and his approach to the social and ethical function of science and science education based on his fundamental writings and lecture notes. This reconstruction is enhanced by extensive use of previously unpublished archive material as well as the transcripts of personal interviews conducted by the author. The book also discusses the biographies of Mandelstam’s friends and collaborators: German mathematician and philosopher Richard von Mises, Soviet Communist Party official and philosopher B.M.Hessen, Russian specialist in radio engineering N.D.Papalexy, the specialists in non-linear dynamics A.A.Andronov, S.E. Chaikin, A.A.Vitt and the plasma physicist M.A.Leontovich. This second, extended edition reconstructs the social and economic backgrounds of Mandelstam and his colleagues, describing their positions at the universities and the institutes belonging to the Academy of Science. Additionally, Mandelstam’s philosophy of science is investigated in connection with the ideological attacks that occurred after Mandelstam’s death, particularly the great mathematician A.D.Alexandrov’s criticism of Mandelstam’s operationalism.
