This early work by H. H. Munro was originally published in 1911 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Chronicles of Clovis' is a collection of short stories, including 'The Great Weep', 'Tobermory', 'Adrian', and many more. Hector Hugh Munro was born in Akyab, Burma in 1870. He was raised by aunts in North Devon, England, before returning to Burma in his early twenties to join the Colonial Burmese Military Police. Later, Munro returned once more to England, where he embarked on his career as a journalist, becoming well-known for his satirical 'Alice in Westminster' political sketches, which appeared in the Westminster Gazette. Arguably better-remembered by his pen name, 'Saki', Munro is now considered a master of the short story, with tales such as 'The Open Window' regarded as examples of the form at its finest.

With its thousands of miles of coastline fronting on three oceans and the world's largest freshwater lake system, Canada has had a long and exciting history of human endeavour on those waters. In Canadian Sea Stories, Canadian sea novelist Victor Suthren has gathered together a collection ofbedside readings from that rich and intriguing history. The collection is by no means a thorough survey of all of Canada's maritime history, but rather a selection of tales, brief or not so (U306095FMM300 |H SOCIAL SCIENCES306 |H Culture and Institutions: Social AnthropologyMain306.09 |HGeographical TreatmentThe Bajau Laut|H AsiaOXINT |D 2003 11 061998/01/20 |j Anthropologie et Societes |n Mikhael Elbaz |c 7 |y R |r Vol. 22, No. 3, 1998|c SEASSM |t South-East Asian Social Science Monographs |n9835600155983-56-0015-57BAJAU LAUT CLTitleJBK |T AnthropologyScholars and students ofanthropology in South-east Asia.Sather |f Clifford |i C. |s au |t Adjunct Professor, Depar tment of Anthropology |a University of OregonSATHER C.NR0000031007c |d 20 pp halftones, tables, figures, maps378Adaptation, History, and Fate in a Maritime Fishing Society of South-easternSabah30/04/1999JELLIM |D 1999 11 15 |T 15:48:14LYNN |D 2006 10 24LYNN |D 2006 10 2474.00OUP15.65SATHER:BAJAU LAUT:S.E.

This book offers a compelling account of how America's combat soldiers experienced Europe during World War II. It paints a vivid picture of the GIs' struggles with its natural surroundings, their confrontations with its soldiers, their encounters with its civilians, and their reactions to uncovering the holocaust. The book shows how these harrowing experiences convinced the American soldiers that Europe's collapse was not just the result of the war, but also of the Old World's deep-seated political cynicism, economic stagnation, and cultural decadence.
