In fact, 90% of black bears that injure people are accustomed to the presence of humans and are just looking for food. In North America, bear attacks aren’t common, but they do happen occasionally, and food is usually the motivation. Mary Roach starts with wildlife encounters that hit a little to close to (her) home. Main Points Familiar Fuzzįeeding wild animals, as we know, is the quickest path to conflict. Each conflict needs a resolution unique to the setting, the species, the stakes, the stakeholders. Two thousand species in two hundred countries regularly commit acts that put them at odds with humans. If you live in North America, you’re probably familiar with raccoons and bears getting into trash, or seagulls stealing food, but did you know that albatrosses are a nuisance for military operations at Midway? Or that monkeys are a real danger to tourists in Asia?īe prepared to be taken around the world looking at these troublemakers, and the tactics humans use to handle them. Another fun and informative read from Mary Roach, this time about animals that don’t follow human rules, and “break the law” (Fuzz, get it?).

In the 70’s she once more won the support of the regime. Over the 1960’s she published innumerable articles and reports about the controversial and dysfunctional workings of rural collective farms. This was followed by a number of other books, but as she became noticeably disillusioned with state socialism, she also found it increasingly hard to publish her works. Her first book of short stories was published in 1953 under the title Egy kosár hazai (A Basketful of Food from Home). She wrote short stories, novellas, plays and film scripts.Īt first sincerely determined to become a committed socialist writer, she later gradually lost faith in the regime. After leaving secondary school she decided to become a professional writer, but for a short time she worked for the Rail Carriage Works at Gyor as a turner, and later went on to study dramaturgy and screenwriting at the College of Film and Theatre. She was only twenty when she published her first short story, "Száz százalék" (One Hundred Per Cent). Her background played a decisive part in her oeuvre: her parents ran a traditional Hungarian farm, Erzsébet being the seventh in a line of eight children. For a long time it seemed as if she would become the anointed author of socialist ‘art’ and ‘rural policy’, but toward the end of her life she became an acutely critical commentator of the regime. Erzsébet Galgóczi was born in a village near the city of Gyor (in north-west Hungary), and she died in 1989. Josie has no idea what this crazy hot guy's deal might be, but it's a good bet that his arrival means the new life she started after leaving home is about to be thrown into an Olympian-sized blender turned up to puree. He's got to play protector while keeping his hands and fingers off, and for someone who really has a problem with restraint, this new assignment might be the most challenging yet. But now Apollo has something else in mind for Seth. And so far, the jobs they've given him have been violent and bloody-which is kind of all right with him. It's been a year since Seth made the deal with the gods that pledged his life to them. The Fates are cackling their bony asses off. I do love a pretty notepad and this one is designed by the fabulous Fable and Black. It is designed by Hey Atlas Creative, who have some lovely designs if you haven’t come across them before! He also loves the colours! I think this is a really nice item but I think I will appreciate it more once I have read Carry On. I’ve gifted it to my partner as I’m not a fan of the material but it is perfect for him. The fabric is a polyester-acrylic mix rather than the fleece you might expect. Speaking of cold weather, this scarf arrived at the perfect time. It is definitely going to be useful for car journeys now that the weather is getting colder! It is a fab item, which suits the COBAB fandom well although it’s a bit bolder than my normal taste. The colours are quite bright, which may or may not be your cup of tea. Practical items are always welcome and a ceramic travel cup is a great addition to a book box! The artwork is by Jess Taylor and is lovely.

Bear Snores On Originally By Karma Wilson Illustrated by Jimmie Ratton Waititi is preparing for the release of Next Goal Wins, starring Michael Fassbender and Elisabeth Moss (plus a role with frequent collaborator Rhys Darby), which is now completed. We're all sitting down to Thor: Love and Thunder, but we should be prepared to see a lot more of Waititi in the coming years. With nearly two decades worth of work under his belt as a director, Waititi is gearing up for what may be the highest-profile phase of his career yet. Since 2007, Waititi has spent his time moving between film and television directing (as well as acting and screenwriting), crafting for himself a heck of a resumé which includes a mockumentary, a big studio superhero movie, and an Oscar-nominated movie. Waititi has been working as a director since the early 2000s, where he got his start directing short films like the Oscar-nominated Two Cars, One Night, and What We Do in the Shadows, which later inspired the feature film of the same name (which then went on to inspire a TV series of the same name). If you're not on the Taika Waitititrain already, now is absolutely the time to do it. Tracking delivery Saver Delivery: Australia postĪustralia Post deliveries can be tracked on route with eParcel.
