        Bear Chasers at the Reindeer Camp

        by Gerelchimeg Blackcrane

        The story in the book happens deep inside the Daxing'anling mountains. For thousands of years, the Ewenkis made living by hunting and raising reindeer in the vast forest. They raised ferocious dogs to assist in hunting and camp guard. As time goes by and the world changes, the Ewenkis today are no longer hunting and the bloodline of their hunting dogs has ended. Instead, the tall, ferocious Mongolian shepherds who are able to chase away and kill wolves become the new camp guard responsible for protecting the reindeers. They drive off bears coveting the camp and grow into real bear chasers.   Blackcrane is one of the few children's book authors who come from minority groups in China, which makes him special in China's literati. His works always offer a glimpse into "the call of the wild" from the forest in the north of China. In this original full-length children's novel published for the first time, Blackcrane not only focuses on the beauty of wildlife but also emphasizes the emotional connections between humans and animals, allowing children to not only be nourished by literature but gain authentic and accurate information on the broadness of nature.

        Hunter Peak

        by Chen Yingsong

        Through five years of meticulous preparation and hard work in the mountains, the author has gained more than 200,000 words of hard work. In the mountainous area of Shennongjia, Hubei, people believe that people are livestock for two hours a day. In today's world, humans and beasts are upside down, and humans and beasts are mixed, which is exactly what the people of Shennongjia say. In the novel "Hunter Peak", several generations of hunters with Bai Xiu at the core are fighting against the mountain, against the creatures in the mountain, against the people outside the mountain, and in this cruel fight or ups and downs in the changing times. Either twisted, surviving, or dying, they are no longer the objects of praise and worship in the traditional concept, but are also full of contradictions and loss, distortions and sacrifices. The work narrates a battle between humans and beasts encountered with wild boars, a modern legend of deep mountains and old forests, the great poetry of hunting, and the great mystery of survival. All are described and displayed incisively and vividly here.

        As the field of tourism grows in maturity and scientific sophistication, it is important to fully understand the breadth and depth of vacation experience value. Current research delivers a multitude of approaches to value creation, represented here as a set of definitions, perspectives, and interpretations of how tourists, as customers, create value alone and with others. Providing an analytical and systematic clarification of the approaches, this book suggests an understanding of the differences, offering new and practical knowledge for tourism scholars and professionals to highlight the relevance of the concept to firms and organizations. Including a framework to distinguish among key resources or antecedents of customer value, this book also considers consumer behaviour and factors affecting value creation from physiological and psychological perspectives. Concluding with a summary of the areas for future research, it is a valuable resource for researchers of tourism, leisure and recreation. ; This book evaluates vacation experience value, as it is created and co-created by the tourist engaging in the experience, for himself, other tourists and the tourism firm.

        Edwin Morgan

        Inventions of modernity

        by Colin Nicholson

        Edwin Morgan is Scotland's major living poet, and Inventions of modernity was the first book-length study of his work. Since the 1940s Morgan's poetry has been carving out an alternative to the conventional evolutions from Modernism to Postmodernism, creating instead a substantial body of writing that ranges from the sublime to the hilarious. Instinctively at odds with the literary politics of the Pound-Eliot axis that remained influential deep into the twentieth century, Morgan develops instead a radical and libertarian poetics in an encyclopaedia of forms; from Anglo-Saxon metre through sonnet-sequences to concrete poems, and including gay poetry, science fiction verse and prize-winning translations into both English and Scots from numerous languages. This authoritative volume is of interest to students, teachers and academic researchers involved with strategies of reading, with cultural studies, with the politics of literary history and with gay and transgressive writing. ;
