"For was I Not Born Here?"


Book Description

As Lauris Edmond writes, du Fresne's work is a tapestry of the past and present, storying immigrant life. Flitting in and out of the past is shown to be one way of coming to terms with the present and of understanding the importance of home, as is evident in The Book of Ester and Frederique , both centering on the manifold, complex European cultural traditions that were often overlooked in settler countries. Another is to be an inquisitive spy on the land like the child narrator, Astrid Westergaard, in du Fresne's magnificent stories, many of them originally radio broadcasts, which depict life in a small Danish community in the Manawatu in the 1930's, often in a humorous and ironic manner. --










Insects and Disease of Man


Book Description

Excerpt from preface: In this book I have attempted to gather together in a concise and practical way, the information necessary for a student taking up the study of medical entomology, or for the health officer working in the field of preventable diseases transmitted by anthropods. The subject is large and any one of its branches is a specialty in itself. Much of the literature appears in the form of separate articles in serial publications, or as, monographs, bulletins, etc. Therefore it is hoped that this book which aims to give only the essentials for public helath practice may be found to be helpful and worth while.

Mad in Translation


Book Description

Even readers with no particular interest in Japan - if such odd souls exist - may expect unexpected pleasure from this book if English metaphysical poetry, grooks, hyperlogical nonsense verse, outrageous epigrams, the (im)possibilities and process of translation between exotic tongues, the reason of puns and rhyme, outlandish metaphor, extreme hyperbole and whatnot tickle their fancy. Read together with The Woman Without a Hole, also by Robin D. Gill, the hitherto overlooked ulterior side of art poetry in Japan may now be thoroughly explored by monolinguals, though bilinguals and students of Japanese will be happy to know all the original Japanese is included.--amazon.com.
